misandry-mermaid:red3blog:fatgirlposing:queervegancunt:ihatecispeople:eatfithappiness:honestly wasn’t expecting that post to be repesctfulThey still took a picture of this person without their permission, posted it on the internet, and called them a fatty. Yeah, i dont exactly find that respectful.They also assume that bc the person is fat, they must hate themselves and want to be thin. They assume that the person is fat because they ate or drank too much or were lazy for some period before they began exercising. They aren’t showing respect to a fat person, they’re showing respect to a potential thin person. reblogging for the last two comments. the post from the asshole with thin privilege is extremely disrespectful.Wow, what a twist from the OP! You think think they are being an invasive fat shaming asshole, but THEN you realize that all along they were actually being an invasive fat shaming asshole who self-righteously feels like they should be congratulated for it because they think their abuse is inspiration. Quite the reversal!What kind of dipshit thinks that was respectful on ANY level? That was some self-congratulatory, fatphobic, patronizing garbage.Um, not speaking for everyone, but as a fatty who hates exercising in public because of the things I fear people think of me as I exercise, this was a really amazingly nice thing to read. It’s nice and motivating to think that those fit people in the gym or on the track are rooting for me rather than laughing at my pathetic attempts to not pass out as I push to lose weight.And FYI, a lot of my weight comes from antidepressant and anxiety medication side effects, but I know a portion of it comes from straying from proper diet and exercise regimes to mitigate the effects of the meds, so food is some of the problem as it is with the majority of fat people, and, news flash, we all know people are blaming our food issues for our weight. This is not a new assumption or a truly hurtful one. In the end, the message that those fit people I assume are judging me negatively might be rooting me on is a great boost to my self esteem and motivation to continue. So I think tumblr needs to chill and not attack people trying to be kind. Side note: that picture doesn’t look like it was taken on a track and I’m inclined to believe its a stock photo or otherwise not connected to the story directly. -- source link
