Thin privilege is not having your own mother react with complete and utter disgust when you show her art that you made containing someone of your body type.

Tonight, I drew a picture of a fat mermaid because I was sick and tired of seeing super-skinny “cute” artwork constantly being posted on my dash and crap, right? As I was in the midst of drawing said fat mermaid, my mother came into my room to ask me something and she glanced at my artwork. Immediately, her face soured to a look of complete loathing and she turned to me and asked, “What’s that?”

“A drawing,” I said.

“And who’s that supposed to represent?”

“Um… no one?” [A lie, since it’s really supposed to represent me and all fat women who like the picture.]

“What are you going to do with it?”

“I don’t know, post it on Facebook [where I post ALL of my art]. Why?”

And she FLIPPED OUT saying that if I posted it on Facebook, I’d be kicked out, and she’d KNOW if I posted it because she’s friends with some of my friends and they’ll tell her and blah blah blah. It’s kinda funny because a few months ago, I posted a very similar picture depicting a THIN mermaid and she liked the picture and shared it on her wall for all of her friends to see! [Note: There IS nudity involved in one of them, but her issue isn’t with me posting pictures of boobs on Facebook. Her issue is with me posting pictures of things like stretchmarks.]

So just as a great big “fuck you!” to her, I’m gunna post links to said images HERE where all of you lovely folks can see them. <3
