This is a legitimate question, in not way meant as a troll. If a fat man were to reject a fat woman for a date because "he is not attracted to fat women" is this still considered fat shaming? Please explain

Strangely, preceding a question with “this is not a troll” does not actually reassure us that it’s not a troll. It’s a bit like, “Not to be sexist, but…”

Yes, oddly e-fucking-nough, fat people can fat shame! Gasp! Shock!

And yet, we’ve discussed this whole “attraction” question TO FUCKING DEATH and yet people STILL keep ignoring what the fuck we say.

From the fucking FAQ:

Thin privilege exists on the societal level. When at people (mainly women) are being seen, in aggregate, as less-worthwhile dating and marriage material than thin people, being rejected for daring to be fat is fat discrimination and hence being seen as better dating material by virtue of being this is thin privilege. Dating while fat generally puts you at a disadvantage in a fatphobic culture, as if the likelihood of being a good partner has something to do with the amount of adipose tissue on one’s body (of course, it doesn’t).

Stop strawmanning us.
