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

[Narwhal]

Tess honours her body by eating so much shite that her hands are turning purple. The stark contrast between the colour of her hands and her chest is worrisome, reminds me of Jack Scalfani's stroke arm

 

[People Have Ways]

Why would you "honour" your Fat Body™ in the first place? You, your body, regardless of its fatness or otherwise obviously got you through life (or else you'd be dead,) but it wasn't the best or optimal version of itself and if one is attempting to lose weight then they're acknowledging that fact. When you're losing the weight it's not about "losing the love and respect for yourself as a whole," it's losing the weight out of love and respect for yourself as a whole (as well as for the benefit of those around you like, I don't know, just spitballing here... your kids/dependents if you have them.) ...

I think that's a main part of her hang-up around the issue of other people losing weight while she continues as she is. When others attempt to lose weight, no matter their reasoning, she automatically assumes they are against fatness. I would hazard a guess that people pursuing weight loss, especially people who don't know her personally, don't care much about her size on a personal level. Maybe on the snacktivism or role model level, but not just person-to-person.

People who have lost weight 'honor their fat body' be learning to treat it better than may have ever done. They're not 'dehumanizing' other fat folks. They're acknowledging changes for the better needed to be made & made them. But like many, Tess has to make OTHER peoples' hard work & success about her & others like her in the most negative way.

Her narcissism shines through when she thinks like this. I can't see anyone setting out to make lifestyle changes because they want to cause Tess and other people with "fat bodies" to feel less than. It's not about her... but she can't accept that fact.

It's the same fucking body. She acts like somehow, your body is replaced with a thin version, and that old body is just like, stuffed in a cupboard or something. It's the same person. They honor themselves by being healthy and knowing how to treat themselves well. Eating Little Debbies five times a day and gaining a hundred pounds a year is not honoring anything except consumerism and gluttony.

It absolutely is the same body; she makes it sound like "thinness" and "fatness" are different suits that people can put on and take off. In reality, everyone's body is in constant flux, going through different amounts of change at any given time. I agree that she could honor her body much better by making healthier choices.

Side note because you mentioned Little Debbies: I was willing to consider her claim of having atypical anorexia, but it was over when I saw her buy so many boxes of Christmas tree cakes at one time. I could not reconcile those things as coexisting and still think it is absurd.

It always feels weird when people talk about "fat bodies" , "birthing bodies", etc. When they say they're "living in a ___ body", it's like they're trying to separate their body from themselves. Like their body is just a vessel. Mess, your body is a part of you. Your decisions change it. Eating too much, getting tattoos - those make your body what it is. You are your body. Saying you "live in a fat body" doesn't absolve you of guilt for destroying it.

That last sentence is incredibly important (I highlighted it for emphasis). It's not comfortable for me to accept, either; without doing too much power-leveling, I'll just say I'm morbidly obese by every standard, and I'm currently researching some of the more drastic options for weight loss. If I'm honest, I should never have allowed myself to reach this point. Pertaining to her wording of the affirmation (or whatever it is) to "honor your fat body," I agree that it serves to distance her mind (personality, thoughts, feelings, etc.) from her physical state, and I don't think that's loving herself as fully as she claims.

This vid also reeks of jealousy of others who have the discipline to lose weight. She's talking to all these people who lose an entire person's worth of fat and telling them "Hey you were still fat so you're technically still just like me. You existed in a fat body and you'll never be able to escape that." ...

I agree, and I don't think the jealousy is well-hidden, either. Shouldn't the person who loses the weight be able to decide how they feel about their previous weight and condition? That would be acceptance, in a clearer sense, but Tess only cares about how these matters affect her feelings.

I'm not. Can we drop this already?

There’s been so much discourse lately, especially on tik tok, about thin bodies and weight gain, but when isn’t there a break when it comes to thin bodies? But I digress. And I think the thing that is hardest for me is not when people gain weight, and I think if anybody wants to gain weight they absolutely should, I have no issue with people gaining weight.

My issue comes from when people gain weight, and forget to honor what their thin body has done for them; the ways that their thin body has carried them through life. You gain the weight, but why do you lose the respect for who you are as a whole? I’m not saying if you gain weight you’re still a thin person, but you are still the same person. You might have changed, but that thin body? That was you. That is you, and that’s ok.

There’s nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to be ashamed about, you have the choice, when talking about your weight gain. You have a choice not to dehumanize your thin body - because it dehumanizes thin folks.

Doesn’t make any sense, even switching fat and thin around. But if Gigi Hadid posted this on tik tok with her boob out, Tess would be mad, assuming gaining weight would be some kind of justification.

The crazy thing is, in detaching their bodies from themselves, these people actively objectify themselves. They talk about their bodies like you'd talk about a junk car that you can't afford to replace. The very people who throw a piss fit over women being objectified in media and in public will go out of their way to objectify themselves for millions to see.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

From glamorous modeling jobs and rubbing elbows with celebrities to sitting half naked on TikTok at 2pm pouting about her own hurt feelings (again). What a success story.

I know it’s a well worn topic but holy crap, Tubbers looks absolutely awful here. She’s aging five years for every year her “body exists.”

Ok I'm going to try to say this in the nicest way possible:

Girl, you need to stop talking about yourself.

I agree. We’re on KF, a site that catalogues lolcows because many ultimately they can’t shut up about themselves. The occasional power level once in a great while is maybe acceptable which a heavy emphasis on the word “maybe.”

We do not need to know details about your life. For one, there’s people who are looking to dox people here to score ideological victories. Two and most importantly, nobody cares.

I'm not. Can we drop this already?

Will you stop reflexively powerleveling?

 

[My cravat doesn't flutter]

It was an offhand comment that people have read way more into and made a much bigger deal about than I expected. Someone mashed together my post history with someone else's and dragged it into this thread. Can we please just drop this already?

But seriously, why did Tess feel compelled to make a video showing her nightstand? Have people been asking about it? It just seems so random and boring.

No, because you keep bringing it up. Stop engaging with it and it'll go away. Have you learned nothing from this site?

 

[Gay Mouth]

Holy motherfucking shit-

Don’t powerlevel. Believe it or not, the onus of responsibility is not on thread users to ignore your constant boring tidbittles about yourself. The very fact that people are now accusing you of eating pocky while engaging in incest with your father is a lovely example of WHY you don’t drop these little “offhand comments”. Shut the fuck up. Being offended that someone has noticed an embarrassing trend in your site engagement is not the proper response. We have a very strict site culture that punishes this kind of behavior because it has nothing to do with the thread subject, and for archival purposes, it ruins the flow of Information. It’s rather annoying to check your updates for a post like “@random12345 was a pharmacy tech in Minnesota in 1987”. This will go away in a matter of posts if you stop thinking anyone gives a shit about the particulars of your life.

In that vein, welcome to the farms @People Have Ways. We did not need to know you are fat. It gives me the heebie-jeebies to be in a room entirely dedicated to discussing how disgusting Tess Holliday is, and someone goes “haha but like me too though.” Best of luck on losing weight, but it’s sort of an unspoken rule that if you’re fat, keep it to yourself, because the second the thread devolves into petting a virtuous lard, we lose some of our best comedic bite. I guess all your bites are comedic though. Because you’re fat.

Rylee is turning 17. Congrats on 5 years of not living with your mother Rylee! One more year to go and you never have to tolerate this sow ever again if you don’t want to. Cheers, my birthday wish is that Rylee becomes a personal trainer with a blonde Stacey girlfriend who Tess hates!

Ok I'm going to try to say this in the nicest way possible:

Girl, you need to stop talking about yourself. You're very quickly making yourself a cow. No one needs to know that you live in either a place that's too small or too messy to store snacks (that your dad comes into your room to eat??), or that you have a basket of cream for your fat folds and bandaid next to your bed. You've posted your birthday, your location, like 5 of your jobs, your weird ass family history and gleefully told the deathfat sub that you need to oil yourself up so you don't chaff on a hot day.

Calm the fuck down

Kf doesn't need to hear about how your mom still uses your 25 year old fabric diapers to clean with.

Okay stop right there - make the thread.

Advice duly noted; don't worry about me. If it was genuine, thanks for the welcome.

Returning to Tess and her orbit, I'm cheering on Rylee and his bright future, likely far away from Tess.

Somebody save me, I must have fried my brain completely because I actually think that birthday card is pretty cute ngl, albeit may be not the best for a 17-year-old

In reality, everyone's body is in constant flux, going through different amounts of change at any given time. I agree that she could honor her body much better by making healthier choices

I’d have guessed deathfat just from this comment alone. Nobody thin would say this, like what? No, bodies are not in a constant state of “flux” or constantly going though changes. Believe it or not, there are people 40 years out of high school who had kids, and can still wear the same size and weigh exactly the same as they did back then. Look at Jane Fonda, she’s 83 and still not overweight, and was wearing high heels two years ago. (I think she hurt her hip recently.). The only flux that happens is aging and it doesn’t happen at any given time, it happens over a long period of time. For fats though, they gain five pounds, take a dump and lose five, gain ten, lose ten, get water filled, then lose water. THEY are in constant flux because they are sick. Regular weight bodies stay pretty much the same and with care, will for most of your life, even after menopause.

People use distancing language when they don’t accept things. Honor your body, live in a fat body, it’s all distancing. Like when a murderer says “he got himself killed” rather than saying I killed him.

When it’s convenient, Tess will use the word fat. She’s never said morbidly obese that I remember, but mostly it’s these distancing phrases that absolve her of responsibility.

As for the powerlevelling, just don’t use the word “I” Figure out what you want to say without using yourself as an example. There are lots of examples in every conversation out there.

Tiny garbage.

But seriously, why did Tess feel compelled to make a video showing her nightstand? Have people been asking about it? It just seems so random and boring.

It's because TikTokers are brain-rotted. It's a whole "trend"

 

[Alpaca Autopsy Expert]

Damn, he hasn’t lived with her for *5* years already? If it was any normalish person, I’d say that was the act of a horrendous mother… but in this case, Rylee got the better deal.
Does that mean that Nick hasn’t seen Bowie in 5 years? What an absolute loser.

 

[Flaming_Barghast]

So, did you just go through my entire post history just now, or have you been keeping tabs on it?

I didn't realize people would read that much into an off-hand comment. I'm just confused as to why Mess would post something so boring without any context. I'm genuinely curious if this is part of a TikTok thing or if she just showed her nightstand, of all things, because she's out of ideas or...?

I realize my start on KF was fucking retarded and I own that. However, I think you might be getting me mixed up with someone else here. Yeah, I made a joke about being a Minnesotan when someone said an ugly bag Tess got looked like it came from Target. Yeah, I mentioned my experience working as a pharm tech when someone suggested it was a job Tess could do. It's 100% not and I explained why. I've mentioned my age in relation to Dylan Mulvaney.

On a thread about a "crunchy mom", the topic of cloth diapers came up. They're generally considered nasty fecal matter traps that can never be truly clean, especially when you're crunchy and fear chemicals. I brought up another way the cloth diapers are/were done.

I made an offhand comment that I didn't realize people would read so much into and I'm really not looking to clog up this thread.

Gorl... *what*.
God and I thought I PLed too hard holy fuck.
You're shocked a site dedicated to autistically in depth research... what, noticed a fucking pattern from your dumbassery and put it together? Really?
If you don't want people pointing out stuff you bring up or find it embarrassing, don't talk about it. It ain't that hard.

Of course it is. Tik Tok has been around for what, 5 years? Not surprising they've run out of ideas. And leave it to Tess to hop on the trend in the laziest was possible. What's next? "What's on my living room end table?"

ETA: a fittingly boring trend for Tess's career/life at this point. She's got nothing going on other than the occasional TV appearance talking about her fauxnorexia.

Somewhat OT, but I sort of expected Tess to vehemently defending Velma for woke points.

Brain-fried here as well, I loved the card.
I love cats and think confetti farts are funny, but I'm weird like that.

But... you do. It should be recorded in the medical chart somewhere so people can give you proper care.

She completely disregarded the actual question, and just blabbed about some nonsense. People with an ACTUAL eating disorder beyond binge eating are looking at you incredulously because you're 500 lbs and "anorexic". Of course people are going to continue to have questions, you keep talking about it while shoving Little Debbies into your maw. Either answer the question truthfully or shut the fuck up about a restrictive eating disorder you obviously don't have. I hope she knows how much of a joke she is to like 90 % of the world.
