I love the fact she wants to convince her audience she is now gay. Never change, Chantal. it’s no different really from James announcing he (his words) thinks he might be happier as a woman. Both of them spend too much time on normie interwebz. You’re not important, there unless you’re a member of the alphabet brigade expecting asspats for being so brave. Chantal and James want their due asspats, please!
She used to be bi, back in the late 90's when it was trendy. That's why she got that tattoo. Because she was a hot bi gorl and that REALLY made all the boys want her.
I think there was some standard shit where her mom was too young, her dad wasn't around, and people gave her food to shut her up. That can be enough to fuck up someone's relationship with food IMO. Besides that and being white trash surrounded by white trash, the rest of her food and body issues come from good honest personality disorders IMO.
I agree that she had some troubling moments in her past -- her dad's friend showed them porn, the other kids picked on her for being a landwhale since birth, mom wasn't around and then when she was, she was getting married and having a daughter she actually wanted, Grams was ill-equipped to deal with her and just stuffed her full of pudding cups and parked her in front of the TV, etc. She acted out with the suicide attempts and the fucking of older/unavailable men.
None of these things are especially noteworthy in and of themselves. Almost everyone has one or two small anecdotes like this that everyone can agree are somewhere on the "not okay" side of the reality spectrum. Maybe you were bullied in elementary school, maybe the neighbor kid copped a feel once when you were 12, maybe your parents fucked up real bad once or twice. It's not okay, but it's not life-defining. Not for normal people, at least.
It's just that our gorl had zero resilience. Most people have the self-esteem to understand when they've been treated badly and to try to change their ways so they don't get treated badly in the future. They know they deserve better, and they set out to create a life for themselves where they
are treated better. They make themselves less vulnerable to abusers by being learning from the past and being pickier about their partners.. They recognize when their behavior -- such as eating 7000 calories a day -- is self-destructive and not the defiant 'fuck you' to the haydurs they want it to be. Gunt has no self-esteem, which leads to her furious refusal to change and instead to hold onto grudges like wanting to burn her classmates alive because one of them threw a tomato at her. She lacks the insight into herself or her relationships to understand how she's bringing shit on herself, instead electing to kick the eighth grader in the crotch (metaphorically) and thinking that validates her existence. She thinks that being a hypercunt and throwing her weight around (lol) make her a badass bitch who's in control of her life, when it actually makes her insufferable white trash who will never improve in any way, and instead will eat herself to death before the age of 50 (if she's lucky).
It's not more complex than that.
