Tess Holliday / Ryann Maegen Hoven - Beached Landwhale model, Body positive and social justice snacktivist, and gigantic fraud

[Diet Coke 4 Life]

Fucking hell, I think Tess just stopped listening after she said 'I've stopped carrying plus size' and didn't watch anything further to hear her say 'because they just didn't sell. Everyone requested them, I stocked them, they didn't buy them.'

Tess proclaims she's a business woman, yet she doesn't understand shit about how to run a business. (then again, no surprise - t-shirt scam, failed clothes capsule, etc)

 

[Ginger_beer]

My goodness, $10K (AUD I presume) that she stocked that didn't sell. D: No one can blame her for not brining in more stock. Well, no one rational. Anyone who wants to complain should buy at least 10 items from her to try to reimburse this shop owner for her efforts. There are a lot of other things she could put that money towards rather than pandering to an entitled customer base that then doesn't buy the product they ostensibly wanted and demanded.

If Tess wanted to prove a point she could have sent her fans to buy the stock this person couldn't sell. Support small business and makes fatties look good. But instead she decided she wanted to use her clout to be toxic.

Well done, Mess

What's absurd is that this happens ALL THE TIME with brands, big and small. The giant sizes of most clothes are just not selling at the rates of the normal to 1X sizes, ESPECIALLY swimwear. Some of the bigger businesses can eat the cost of keeping them stocked but some can't, especially small businesses. Whether you think its fatphobia or whatever, it's simply just how businesses run. Stitching on TikTok is not going to change the fact that nobody is buying 3XL string bikinis (except Corissa lol)

Also - with regard to Atypical Anorexia, the cartoonist Abby Howard provides an accurate description.

Clicked the link and read the comic. It’s a pretty thoughtful examination of her disordered relationship with food, but it smacks of the same delusions and entitled thinking as all the HAES stuff. Lol it’s exactly how Tess thinks though, to a T:

A)

Just casually drooling over baked goods, not going to eat them! I HAVENT EATEN ALL DAY. Oh if you only KNEW, you’d feel like such an asshole!
(If the friend really said “what’s wrong with you?” He saw you eat directly before this. It’s fucking normal and healthy to examine your plans for the day and eat accordingly. Do you also feel like a martyr for skipping breakfast before a BBQ, St Spiritually Skinny?)

B)

She’s soooo healthy you guise! She’s a power lifter who eats vegetables! Who you gonna believe, your lyin’ eyes?
Consistency is key to actual results. It’s why Tess can loll about on the floor once a month and feel she “exercises often”. No, you went to the gym a dozen times in a year. As the folks over at the fat fetish sites say, she’s keeping her flexibility and mobility to carry her mammoth body around a few extra months.


I dEsErVe to be happy! Happiness looks like a basket of sweets to me, so FUCK YOU!

Aint this just the fattie boombalaty squad in a nutshell:

At least she pulled over this time.

 

[vanilla_pepsi_head]

The condition does refer to fatties, but they are fatties who develop anorexia and because their starting point was "overweight", their BMI drops to "average" rather than the under-17.5 usually required for an anorexia diagnosis. The point is that they used unhealthy and/or irresponsible methods commensurate with anorexia to lose that weight, and if allowed to continue in that way will still die just like a normal anorexic.

I am not a medical professional in any way - just a former volunteer at women's shelters and charities, so if any Kiwi with proper clinical knowledge would like to weigh in or correct my alleged "Facts", please have at it

You got it, that's the rationale for de-emphasizing the role of weight in anorexia. Which is still completely retarded. Actually, I'm convinced that a lot of the DSM V was authored by shit-flinging chimpanzees, but I will keep my spergery relevant to Tess's "diagnosis." Per usual it's a rambling text wall no one should read unless they're bored on the crapper or something. No1curr but I used to frequently deal with severe hospitalized AN patients in a professional capacity years ago. So while I admit I have a bit of a bug up my ass about it because of what I've seen, 400 lb eatbeasts calling themselves anorexic will never not be funny to me.

Spoiler: preaching to the choir

Anorexia nervosa requires you to be underweight. That's what makes it a mental illness. Restricting food intake deliberately when you're within a normal weight range may not be necessary, could be pathological even, but if you don't need to gain weight but won't because you're terrified to, it isn't AN. If you're fat and restrict to the point you're a normal weight? Not an illness, in fact it's probably a good idea. If you're seeing health issues from your crash diet and you need to slow down, some of the psychological symptoms are present, but you are still not at a weight where you have objectively lost far too much, but it isn't AN. Just grouping it in ED-NOS (or diagnosing BDD) made more sense. It acknowledged the issue without conflating it with AN, which it isn't, and cannot be, even if they have fixation on body image problems etc, because their weight itself is not dangerous. It can be treated with a trip to a dietician and maybe psychotherapy, but it isn't "holy shit time is of the essence, force feed 4000 kcals daily however you need to and give them whatever intensive psychotherapy might help them to cope with their worst nightmare without committing neck rope." Part of AN's unique pathology is the effects starving to death has on the brain, and they don't have that. They could stop and be fine. If they overshoot so hard they wind up underweight, and fulfill the other criteria, then and only then is it AN. If clinicians really saw merit in the idea of making this "potential for AN" group its own thing, then there needs to be some hard criteria for percentage of body weight lost in a certain time frame at the very least, but just loosening the weight criteria of AN to include anyone (in a world that is unprecedented levels of fat) was the most balls-out retarded approach I can think of.

AN and "atypical anorexia" being grouped together guarantees shit fits on both sides over the label. The AN people will see the ""atypical anorexics"" and think at best, hell, if I look like that then I'm not underweight at all and these people are lying to me, I'm not co-operating with this shit. They're going to see that they're made to eat triple what the ""atypicals"" do and think it's fucking bullshit, conclude that they will get three times that fat, or get incredibly self conscious and disgusted with themselves at the huge difference making an already difficult task unthinkable. They may outright break down over being petrified at even looking like the "atypicals" even if they are polite enough not to outright say it, or outraged they're being categorized with fatasses and turn it into a purity contest. The ""atypicals"" will see the huge meals the AN folks have to eat and get a deep sense of inadequacy that they aren't "as good" as them, they'll either double down on restricting or if they can't, take it out on themselves another way. If any are jealous cunts, they will take dark pleasure in watching the ANs be force fed so much or even trigger them on purpose by making a huge show of how much less they're eating and how full they are and shit like that. EDs are highly comorbid with BPD remember, so in any given ED group, bullshit like this is guaranteed.

Normal weight people who are still fat after a lifetime of being "anorexic"? Compensating for periods of overeating by moderating your intake is in no way a disorder in itself if it's balanced enough to maintain an okay weight, that is how living organisms are supposed to function. People who have been "struggling with anorexia" for years and are still fat as shit? Lol, fuck off, qualifying the label with "atypical" doesn't make it less stupid. We've gotten so deep into clown world that even though everyone knows Tess claiming anorexia is ridiculous, and everyone except other "anorexic" fat asses joke about it in private, relatively few people have the balls to publicly say that is obviously retarded and ask if they're being fucked with. Or people get censored for saying it. Psychiatry/psychology going mainstream and becoming the scam industry it is today was such an unbelievably cancerous development.

Anyway, Tess can claim anorexia as much as she pleases. It does not change the fact that she is fat, and even if said fat did not make it difficult to impossible, I still would not have sex with her.

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

The fact that that disordered eating cartoonist jumped right from "eat low calorie foods and vegetables as snacks so you'll be putting something in your maw but not something unhealthy" to "eat paper because it's not a food" is a sign of her own mental issues, not societal pressure to be thin.

Plenty of people can and do lose weight without becoming bulimic cutters. Clearly she replaced a food dependency with a no-food depedency with a puking dependency. It even shows her lying to her therapist in the comic and relying on her best friend and boyfriend to make her stop puking (surprise surprise it doesn't work)

It has nothing to do with "society hates fat people and thinks of them as worms," it's that you've got shit you need to get professionally sorted instead of making your friends be unpaid therapists and devote all their energy and time to you.

Also, most polite people don't say "You've lost some weight but your face is still fat so keep going". That's just an asshole, not SoCiEtY.

 

[Alpaca Autopsy Expert]

It’s astounding she’s been able to get away with this “atypical” anorexia crap for this long. I can only imagine that true anorexics would be terrified to look at her social media, so have no idea she’s claiming to be one of them.

 

[FarmVille]

“…Atypical anorexia is wildly under-diagnosed, under-researched and most people don’t even understand it!”

That’s because it’s not real.

“Most people in higher weight bodies are shocked to hear that they have anorexia because nobody's ever told them that they could have anorexia at their size”

That’s because they don’t. They can’t.

“And this is why weight bias stigmas are so deadly” - nobody is dying from “anorexia” at your size, babe. Stop.

“The bodies we exist in” - lmao okay. Way to take the accountability of health off your fat, sloping shoulders.

“Everyone go read this article” - and there it is. I tried to read the article to see if they quoted actual health care providers and not just business managers and social workers but was greeted with a screen saying I’d used up all my free articles (I have used zero). Reporting on fat feelings and validating lies - whatever it takes to get those subscriber bucks, I guess.

I’m ready for my garbage cans but “atypical anorexia can’t exist because Tess says she has it” is really fucking stupid reasoning. Y’all are pretty ignorant on the subject in general.

Atypical anorexia is a real thing. Even women meeting the clinical definition of anorexia don’t look like literal skeletal Holocaust victims a considerable amount of the time.

What atypical anorexics don’t do is get progressively fatter with no weight loss at any point in their lives. They don’t post photos of themselves scarfing down cake on Instagram or talk about the beauty of fat bodies in bikinis.

The fat witch has much better skin and tits than Tess.
That frog would have slipped right out becase of Tess's "dewy" (Crisco) skin.

BTW I Saw The Black Cauldon in the theater as a kid.
I can count on one had the movies we went to the theater for when I was growing up.
If you ever get the chance, it looks great on a huge screen.

In 2022, nobody wants to risk sticking their necks out to shut down Tess who on occasion inexplicably punches above her own (social) weight. She’s the modern day embodiment of those fat chicks who used to be on Jenny Jones or her “friend,” Ricki Lake 30 years ago. Now that we’re not allowed to point and laugh, the carnival freaks are now considered oppressed victims so we can laugh in private.

Similar thing happened to (non-Disney) Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH when it was adapted into "Secret of NIMH".

True, but Secret of NIMH was amazing on the big screen.

[Diet Coke 4 Life]

The fat witch also had 10x the personality of Tess, and was a lovable lady whose corpulence was easily overlooked thanks to her bubbly persona.

Tess is a vat of rancid butter. Please don't try to compare the two.

Oh shit son video uploads work on Tor, here we go.

What the hell is a "stitch"?

I tried Urban Dictionary and it wasn't any help.
I admit I don't click on her videos becase listening to what she has to say is about a enjoyable as dropping a car battery on my sack.

I think it's a TikTok thing to let people know you're going to give your hot take on something. So a retarded TikTok term.
