Titpee / This is Thin Privilege - Morbidly Obese HAES Tumblrinas

[Die Wotansperg]

If she ignored him or humored him, she wouldn't be a proper SJW.

This is kinda emblematic of the bizarre mental dissonance Titpee, and really SJWs in general are infamous for

on the one hand, they have this weird insistence that not being attracted to them literally can't be possible, and that if you aren't it's the boogeyman partiwhateverthefuckarchy blasting you with some sort of hypnotizing mind rays, and that your "preference" is just some sort of societal conspiracy to keep them out of ever having a relationship, ironically the very same methodology they insist are held by, and by extention mock groups like MRAs for having.

on the other, literally any time someone finds them attractive, they're forced back in disgust, insisting that you're fetishising them, despite claiming (sometimes even in the same fucking sentence) that they're byootiful goddesses that can't be ignored ad nauseum, and that if you fall into their prefference, that it's the exact same kyriwhateverthefuckarchy somehow conspiring to degrade and "objectify" them.

this is by absolutely no means revolutionary thinking and I don't claim it is, but it still never fails to piss me off me off that they not only operate on this backwards ass catch-22 logic that leaves them forever victimized no matter the circumstance, but openly they project it onto others. to some, this would be some sort of crazy backwards conspiracy. personally, I take comfort in the fact that hanlon's razor just points to them having the same levels of self-awareness and overall intelligence as a cave newt.

I've iften wondered if many of these "deathfats" have a subconscious death wish.

I mean it takes serious effort to live like that, to eat so much and so often. Maybe deep down they just don't want to live and are looking for a easy way out. Their lives tend to be very lonely and miserable and they have only food for comfort.

To me they show all the signs of a slow but steady suicide wish.

I dunno, just idle speculation really

Maybe they do - maybe they're just so utterly shortsighted they think (seriously) that morbid obesity and actually dying of something it caused is all lies.

Then, some time in the future, they're told they have six weeks to live.

Tumblrinas love feeling offended, its part of why they do whatever they do - if they're not outraged, nobody's paying attention.

I group fat pride people in with smokers, alcoholics and hard drug users. Deep down they do know that what they're doing will lead to their death but they don't care because of reasons.

Smokers don't gather into groups of delusional idiots to tell each other smoking is really good for you and discourage you from quitting.

I think previous posters may have had something with connecting FA and depression. Any kind of dopamine rush is such a relief on those really bad days, and given the lack of motivation that often accompanies depression, you can end up just doing that rather than cultivating other sources of happiness. You can recognize the problem and fix it, or you can retreat and reframe the problem as a bonus and/or a condition people are oppressing you for. Seen through the lens of depression, something like TITP is just a gigantic failed coping mechanism.

Spoiler: Spoilered for powerlevel(ish)

Personal experience here: if this is the case, I hope TITP and its ilk dies a quick death, because getting out of that rut feels so damn good. I'm fat, but I recently got a job involving a lot of physical labor, and after only a few months the effect on my health has been marked; I'm currently at my lowest weight in years. Nobody would know it to look at me, but knowing that something is changing and forward motion is happening does wonders for one's mood. It's like the universe sending you a message saying "You don't have to be stuck like this forever." Take a walk, TITP mods--it will make you feel so much better.

Racism, homophobia, and sexism are not the same as fat shaming. No one has ever been denied human rights because they are fat. Fat shaming just results in hurt feelings.

But it's my 'oomin rightz to eat a quart of mayo, out of the jar, in public, with no utensils! STOP FATSHAMING ME!

That's true but both are guilty of having a disgustingly careless mindset about something that they do that will lead to an early death.

Also never never underestimate the internet's ability to be horrible. There's a hard drug fandom already on tumblr, it probably wouldn't take much digging to find a smoker's advocacy group. I've seen internet groups dedicated to a person's right to drive drunk of all things. Tobacco apologists are almost definitely a thing that exist. (Incidentally I should see if I can find the drunk driving forum again now that I think on it. There's probably enough in there to have its own thread. Assuming it hasn't been shut down)

You say that, but I feel like there is some corner of the internet full of smokers who do exactly that.

I worry for my friend who seems to have fallen into the Fat Acceptance trap. I've known her for several years, and before she was considerably slimmer than me. I ain't a beanpole by any stretch of the imagination, so she had a lil bit of chub. Fast forward to now and she has ballooned - I doubt her current relationship has helped matters. But it was when this whole hijacked/bastardized form of HAES picked up steam is when she started packing on the pounds. There is really anything I can do or say to make her reconsider her behaviour and it isn't much of my place as we have been more distant as friends, but it's a bit annoying to see.

So in the meantime I get to see her reblog models such as these.

Seriously when your cankles are as thick as your head.... erch.

For a long time I joked that since everyone today is so offended at everything, Fat people were the only "Minority" you could joke about.
Now you can't even joke about fatties.

How many fat people does it take to change a light bulb?

None. Because they can't.

Because they're fat.

Usually death fats aren't told an estimate, typically they die suddenly but to no ones surprise. Their doctors harp on at them for years trying to get them to lose weight and to the tumblr titpee crowd that usually means that their doctors are fat shaming them so they doctor shop religiously or avoid doctors all together. Suddenly one day they have a massive pulmonary incident/ internal rupture/ embolism and the titpee community silently ignores their passing because its clear they weren't as healthy as people claimed and that undermines HAES.

This all makes me sad. I've recently lost 30 pounds, and it's amazing how much better I feel. I did it mostly by cutting soda and frozen food out of my diet, so it wasn't even hard. These people could probably all lose a lot of their fattness if they did silly little life style changes like that, but they're too gluttonous to even do that.

 

[Logia_Peter]

The Titpee Community - we're with you the whole way through, except for when you die of body-weight related health problems. Then you don't exist, so our narrative can go on UWU!

I even read about one woman who had a health-related incident and got several anonymous messages telling her not to blog about it because "it could hurt the cause."

I would like to read up on this.
