If you put fatphobia next to racism we are not friends

emperorironlungs: Nobody will hang you from a tree a distribute your organs with spectators because your BMI is 40 Who want’s to bet the TiTP mod is white. No seriously TiTP needs to get off my fucking lawn.

No people won’t “hang you from a tree” but you know what? It still hurts when people laugh at you for being bigger than them. It hurts when people give you dirty looks because your stomach is bigger than theirs. Names still hurt. Being told by someone they won’t date you because of your weight still hurts. Being PRESSURED to lose weight hurts.

“Fatphobia” hurts JUST as much as racism if not more. We at least have moved on somewhat with racism. “Fatphobia” never changed. Not when I was growing up. Not when I’m a fucking adult now. People think it’s ok because overweight people are just unhealthy and that they’re just helping.

But it’s not. Hate in any shape IS NOT OK.
