Thin privilege is not having to argue that being the object of a weight fetish isn’t ‘exciting’ (and that there is a difference between a preference and a fetish)

I had a conversation with a male friend of mine who tried to convince me that I should 'give men who only find big women attractive a chance because it could develop into an intellectual attraction’ without him realizing that simply being an sexual object for someone is not something most fat people, who’ve been treated as objects their whole lives anyways, want. And when he said “Don’t you want someone who’s just completely in love with you physically?” to which I replied “Can’t you have both?” he said “Exactly!” As if I’d just gone to prove his point.

Thin privilege is people not thinking you have to settle for 'loves you despite your body’ or 'loves you for your body’.
