I've never subscribed to Self, but if I did, this bullshit would be enough to make me cancel my subscription. It's a health and fitness magazine, aimed at women who are interested in those topics, and putting Tess Holliday on their cover--or featuring her in its pages at all--is essentially telling its readership, "Yeah, it's totally okay to just give up, throw in the towel, EAT ALL THE THINGS, and become a landwhale. Who's to stop you? Fuck it; you don't even need this mag."
That's not what their readership is there for, and it's an insult to readers who actually give a shit about their own well-being. I can understand putting a chubby-but-athletic woman on the cover, because someone like that could be seen as relatable and inspiring by a lot of readers. But Tess isn't even remotely relatable or sympathetic to Self's core audience. She's anti-aspirational. She is, at best, thinspo for their readership, because the last thing Self readers want is to look like her.
This is legitimately one of the most insane decisions I've seen a magazine make. Sure, the issue will sell out, because FA types and fat fetishists will buy them all, and there will be controversy that creates a lot of buzz, but I don't see how this could possibly be a good move.

Another media property bites the dust. I'm just amazed by the ability of these rotten people to worm their way into a media product and go "FUCK YOU" to the original audience. They don't even wrap it in a socially acceptable shell anymore, just go NO FUCK YOU SHITLORDS I'M IN CHARGE NOW. P.S. FUCK YOU

At one point her body was none of my business. Then some magazine exposed me to her morbid obesity as some sort of ridiculous statement.
She's also fat and gross.

What fat acceptance should be and what it is clashes in such a weird matter to me.
Should we be telling ten year olds they're fat and need to diet? Absolutely not. There are exceptions, of course, but we shouldn't be telling slightly chubby kids to count calories.
Should we be telling four hundred pound thirty year olds that their lifestyle is impacting their health and that people should not be eating fast food for every meal? Or celebrating twenty year olds who binge every day?
There's a clear divide between those issues and what fat acceptance was intended to be.
Somewhere along the way, healthy endorsement of different body sizes turned into open celebration of morbid health issues. It's...

I figure they are struggling for audience just like almost every print publication today. I don’t know how this will pan out for them but the hope was all the TV shows will do segments about a 400 lb woman on the cover, it goes viral, ppl talk about it online, and they get a few ppl who have never looked at a self magazine (fatties) to buy copies.
I mean, this is probably the first time Self magazine has ever been mentioned on KF so I guess it’s kind of working.
But what they might be lose - long term subscribers and credibility- just to get some click bait type attention might not be worth it. Then again they may be a sinking ship and this is just a last desperate grab for attention/relevance because they’ve got nothing to lose.

I would actually say it is our business. If you’re encouraging women to put on weight as an active lifestyle choice, then people are right to ask questions about the consequences. Particularly given that Tess also lies a lot about her actual size and uses image manipulation, shapewear and selective angles, poses and cropping to make herself appear thinner.And this is from a health magazine.

Someone needs to teach people that acceptance doesn't equal enabling. Don't force a chubby kid to eat celery sticks instead of chips, but if someone's health is obviously going to shit because they weigh over 300lbs and eat nothing but Doritos and M&Ms, it's okay to suggest they cut that shit out and actually take care of themselves.

When one hits 600+ lbs is there any reason NOT to start doing meth? Other than dying of hyperthermia because your blubbery ass belongs in the arctic.

Really if anyone is worried about their child’s weight, they do have it in their power to make healthier meals and dish out proper portions. And they should have it be a thing the whole family is involved in because it’s just responsible.
Anyone who outright tells a child they’re too fat is a terrible person lol

Yes, actually, a kid is more likely to develop an eating disorder like anorexia and/or bulimia because of a constant harassament in the household. Or to binge eat to cope with the stress of the situation and become obese.

This reminds me of this book from the 80s where the fat protag has to sit at the dinner table and eat bland low-fat broiled meat and veggies while his family eats spaghetti, fried veal cutlets, and blueberry pie in front of him. You'd think the parents would want to set a good example for the kid by eating the same broiled meat and veggies, or at least do it for their own sake.

This is the fat acceptance MO. Wear a revealing outfit or be naked, go out in public for a photo shoot and hope you get asked to leave or cover up, cry to trashy Internet gossip blog outlets that think they're news, cash in your 15 minutes of fame for not being allowed to exist in public while fat. No, they wouldn't go to a beach where a bikini is acceptable attire, there's no attention to be had there.

I'll take my islamic ratings but she makes several sexual innuendo jokes during the video, including referring to a rice cracker as "big and girthy". It's a cracker anna. They haven't invented a man that will fuck you yet or a cracker that also doubles as a dildo.

Do you think if your internal body temp got high enough your fat would start on fire?
