Ragen Chastain / Dances with Fat / Fat Out Loud - HAES activist proving that people can(not) be morbidly obese and super atheltic

[Dr. Meme]

Ragen Chastain is a HAES Blogger and "international championship dancer" who uses intense fatlogic to enable her weight and to get attention from other people.

She runs a blog known as Dances With Fat, where she talks about how healthy she is, despite being over 300 lbs. She also does Body Positive motivational speaking, which is essentially like paying someone to enable your weight.
Below are some examples of her delusion,

Spoiler: A WINNER IS YOU

Spoiler: It's ok for me to be fat because these unrelated things are different

Spoiler: It's your fault you injured yourself lifting me

Spoiler: I'm smarter than you so your opinion is null and void, here are some stats I made up

Seriously, just check out her FAQ. It's super enabling.

So, I'm getting a lot of:"I am who I am, so you have to deal with it!" from what you posted about this one. The response to the paramedic issue caught my attention. As in the:"Oh well, you are being paid to do a job, so do it and stop complaining!" Kind of logic failure. That's just the way those things read like to me though.

I've seen her dance videos, and to say they are unimpressive is probably the kindest thing I can say about "dancing"

Also, Raging Shitstain is a much better name for her.

Think she might be Pixyteri 2.0? You know, minus the whole:"I'm totally a kawaii nipponese cosplayer desu! :3" Thing?

I think it's funny that she thinks that a healthy weight for a human and a horse are comparable in any way.

I think she also left out the fact that your standard horse is more or less all muscle, no?

 

[Xarpho]

The fact that she would willingly compare herself to a horse is hilarious in and of itself.

Not only willingly, but to also be disproportionately off and non-factual about it. Sorry, but making things up and stating them as proven fact does not make them fact alone, just an opinion.

So, how long until the inevitable heart attack?

Edit: Ok, that was a little callous of me. Sorry.

 

[Partyboy]

So, how long until the inevitable heart attack?

Since she's using fake stats and is comparing herself to horses, probably not very soon by her telling. 10:1, she caves from pressure from friends/family and gets either a lap-band, or something equally intrusive. Even then, it probably won't stop. She will probably post about that too.

We already have a thread about fat acceptance people. Is there anything about her that makes her particularly worthy of her own thread?

Wouldn't surprise me if she watches MLP and is a brony.

 

[Partyboy]

Wouldn't surprise me if she watches MLP and is a brony.

Or just a closet brony. I'm sure she will post about it or something, if she hasn't already.

She's also fatoutloud on tumblr.

Horse responds to her blog: no, sir, I don't like it!

What is it about tumbler that draws people in? I hear all kinds of things about it and the way it's brought up, the people there treat it like the promised land of their opinions and viewpoints.

Dances With Fat is hysterical. I've been following her for awhile. She claims to be an elite athlete, but, when challenged to provide evidence of this, even when shutting down threads/boards/etc is offered as a reward from performing merely average athletic feats, she refuses.

There's a blog that analyzed her lies:

Did you notice in the "lyrical solo" the second time she goes into the "angry beached whale maneuver" that she even has to put her hand on her knee to help herself up. I understand that for a 300+ lb woman she's very flexible and considerably healthier than her peers but for a dancer she's a wreck.

And she teaches? This I really don't understand. I have yet to see her do anything even remotely advanced and I don't understand people paying to be taught by her. I guess if it's a beginner's class but even then she can't fully demonstrate a lot of moves because her own body gets in the way or is too heavy.

 

[Pine Tar]

Is this the woman who quit her job to be a fat activist? Because of it is, then I'm surprised that she can still afford to be as fat as she is.
