What is the #bodypositive movement really?

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

In society women's attractive value is primarily based on conventional beauty.

So if you're not conventionally beautiful, people tend to make a lot of negative comments about your body

Sometimes the negativity can cause a never-ending cycle of eating more and withdrawing from society

So larger women took it upon themselves to start a campaign to accept everyone no matter the size

AKA why be negative when you can be positive

Of course when corporations jump on the bandwagon and push fat women as beauty campaigns, society recoils at the premise of big women loving themselves and being confident

AKA how dare u try to have the standards of a supermodel when you're grossly obese

Which in turn caused women to form a stronger coalition of supporting each other because body self esteem is a problem

I think it's supposed to be about accepting one's body as long as they're healthy, in an effort to discourage people from pursuing unnecessary surgeries or other "fixes". I don't think it was intended to encourage obesity.

Just like pro-black movements in history weren't intended to leave the race with Dr. Umar as a leader

It hates fat people too. Difference is, one is less accepted than the other. Whilst ironically, one is more controlable regardless of external circumstances.

That should be another topic, what’s hated more in society? Broke or fat people?

It's hard to be fat and broke

Trust me, I know personally


Gluttony is a rich man's disease

Unhealthy people wanting to live in delusion.

It attracts two crowds; the genuine and those who refuse to exercise the discipline to change it.
Weight loss is such a strenuous journey in American society because it’s built on the shytty foundation of appearance. Don’t let these people fool you, we encourage an unhealthy lifestyle and then shame people for falling victim to it.

The greatest shortcoming of the body positivity movement is its failure to emphasize the steps beyond acceptance.

Yeah, in life, you’ve got to pick a struggle. It’s not a coincidence that the angriest people tend to be both of those.

Ross and Gabriel Igelasis (?) and that other fat fukk don’t catch shyt for being a buffalo betty

Lizzo does. But the kicker is Lizzo doesn’t apologize per se for being big mama status, shes on the defensive so people of similar build and view command her for it

A part of me respects her tbh

There have been plenty of fat female entertainers. There have been plenty of fat black female entertainers. No one ever really criticized them. The main reason Lizzo receives flack is because of how she dresses and some of her antics

If you go out of your way to bring attention to yourself, people are going to say something
