Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

That's "thicc", sweetie.

I'm 165 pounds but hardly fat. I'm a thick little girl.

So how tall are you, dear?

So we've established that you can easily drop a solid 20. Cool.

Now back to our regularly scheduled deluded obeasts, please.

I wonder about the gender disparity present here. Do fat guys just know they have to suck it up or is their version more laziness without a made up ideology?

Other people have already brought up most of the salient points, but part of it is that the social consequences of obesity often begin at a lower weight for women . "Fats" have their own fat-scale (death-fat, super-fat, infini-fat etc) where they like to pretend that fats have degrees of acceptability, but the real world has a much simpler scale. There's not fat (encompassing all the way up to perhaps 10 lbs over a healthy BMI, strongly dependent on how they carry it). And there's fat - which encompasses from the not-fat point all the way up until at max perhaps 230 lbs dependent on height. After that, there's simply really fat. The lack of YAS QUEEN for men stems from the fact that they have less need of it. Fat men in general (the fats of the 10 lbs overweight to 60 lbs overweight spectrum) do not generally consider themselves fat. They tend to fall into the usual traps - a) it's not fat, it's muscle. b) they carry it well. Shirts hide the gut. c) only women care about being fat anyway*) C) is the most effective in driving men away from the FA movement - to complain that being fat reduces your attractiveness implies that attractiveness is a major part of what you have to offer rather than a nice bonus.

So what you get is a small sample of people (nearly all heterosexual women) who are highly driven by being attractive, because they have nothing else going for them. They don't have scintillating social lives, they aren't professionally or personally successful, they often come from very comfortable backgrounds that mean they have experienced being very sheltered and loved growing up, to a point where it hits much harder when they meet the real world and nobody is into them. I'm not surprised at all that a "fat acceptance" movement is being run by a minority of people with retrogressive understandings of sexuality and human interaction. It's a "movement" being driven by individualistic opportunists bent on increasing their own self-worth (also the reason there's so much infighting and splintering).

*for both sexes, this difference disappears at higher weights. Fat men have zero advantage over fat women once they both reach a point of fatness seriously shaping their life, and a lot of that is down to the increasing sexual ambiguity of the very fat - the low testosterone of the fat man, the amorphous features for both (sexual and facial) that also helps relegate them back to a sexless semi-childhood.

We should rank the fatties from most annoying to least. "yrfatfriend" is pretty high up there. Here she is telling everybody (the larger thread was about lesbian sex) how much HOT SEX WITH HOT GIRLS she has. The ole Jess Baker trope that fatties have hot sex with hot people all the time. IRL you hardly ever see horribly unmatched looks couples. Fit people date other fit people and fat people mostly date other fat people. Especially Lezbos.

I'm so curious to know YFF's definition of "hot."

Also, pics or it didn't happen, fatso.

Yea the frumpy idiot isn't even brave enough to have a real picture or name attached to any of her work. So brave!

Re. male/female differences - I think an important aspect is that the FA nutters have really hijacked an entirely reasonable movement, (ie. let's not aspire to be unhealthily thin models), which was already mostly aimed at women.

Men have less to argue against in terms of unhealthy body image ideals. They're still entirely unrealistic, and it's still harmful to push them on kids, but they tend to be veiled behind health or strength; super fit with ridiculous abs. You can defend wanting ripped abs as a strength goal. It's hard to defend wanting a thigh gap for anything other than aesthetics.

Women's body ideals are moving into similar themes now (hooray for #fitspo with shopped abs and a diet tea sponsor!), so it will be interesting to see if that changes anything.

I'm not so sure it was reasonable to start with. "Thin models" was never so much of an issue that would necessitate a movement. Back then people's understanding of eating disorders was pretty poor and that's saying something because it's still not great. But back then "they" thought advertising featuring thin models caused anorexia and shit but that's just not true. Obviously girls with eating disorders would admire supermodels but that doesn't mean the admiration/exposure to advertising caused their eating disorders. And what about all the women who admired supermodels and did not having an eating disorder i.e. most women? In hindsight the whole movement seemed silly and self-indulgent from the start.

Men have always seemed to understand that advertisers are going to use models with idealized features and so never needed a ~movement~ to make themselves feel better.

More evidence that Anna is not taking this move to Austin as a time to reinvent herself, improve her health (physical and mental), or anything else. As cliched as it is, wherever you go, there you are.

So we're all supposed to believe this was just a posed photo & she threw the cake away afterward?
Her stupid 'fans' seem to think so.
I bet Anna checked out every bakery in Austin & it's proximity to where she'll live.

I’m guessing she had some wine and greasy takeout with that cake too. It’s no wonder her skin looks so terrible when she eats like this. Admittedly, pigging out once in a while is fine, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she normally eats way more than she should in crappy food to get to her size.

I just can't get over the completely unhinged look in her eyes. Also this picture is like a Tess Holliday/Trisha Paytas nightmare mashup. What sort of freak shoves her face and hair into a cake like a rabid animal?

I think Austin is going to be an era of even worse cringe and entitlement from Anna, but I wouldn't be surprised if shit got really bad, like suicidally so. Something's seriously wrong with her.

 

[Francis Dollarhyde]

Just imagine either way owning this or fucking this and accepting it!!! How low does one have to fall to accept this for themselves???? What the hell is mentally wrong with those people to get to this?

Do not forget, there are guys that actively seek this out because fatties are hot, or so they claim.

She always eat way more than she should, and I doubt her drunk ass cooks a lot, except with wine and beer. How else does she get that fat.

Chantal had to take a break in the middle of a walk up a small hill. What was it, 20-30 yards? She also had to take a break after walking a few flights of stairs at her doctor’s. Whitney from My Big Fat Fabulous Life hiked a ~2-mile trail and looked as if she was gonna kick the bucket at any second.

I think a lot of fatties can fake being somewhat fit by always walking at snail speed on flat terrain. Give them a small incline and it’s game over.

Well ya, can you imagine trying to push a car up a hill?

 

[thejackal]

The comments on every morbidly obese fat girls IG are full of thirsty middle eastern sounding dudes, cracks me up.

Not just the dudes. The women are a lot more shrewd about it but do it too. Take care what Kik group you go into, women from especially Saudi Arabia but also Egypt, Yemen and Morocco will pounce on anyone they think just may be interested, particularly from Germany, UK, Norway, that area. They think they may go out unassisted without getting arrested, and untill recently, being allowed to drive, in Morocco's case a hot meal every evening, all that stuff. On instagram they are more cautious but a goodlooking gringo that barely makes an effort to lift can expect plenty of private messages.

So, just to give a teensy bit of background with the modelling industry and no to say whatsoever that these assholes have any valid points, but back in the 50’s and 60’s (moreso early 60’s) models had curves and were lovely Marilyn, Rita type pin up ladies. The vast majority of buyers for stores were men. They’d go to fashion shows and pay more attention to the models than the clothes they were modelling.Designers eventually switched to essential coat hangers for that reason. Twiggy I think was the first real waif example.

I think these fatties like to take that and run with the narrative that Marilyn was a size 16 at some point, but while she had times she was plumper than others she was never obese. I see where they’re getting their talking point, but they’re dead wrong.
