[I’m going to start off by saying I’m thin by most standards (UK size 8-10) so please correct anything I say.]

As an OkCupid user, I’ve chosen not to upload any photos of my body to reduce the amount of harassment I get already from creepy guys. According to one guy, this is an invite to jump into my inbox and throw fat hate at me. Here’s some choice quotes:

Seek professional help for that “curvy” body on yours while you’re at it. Lose that shit and become part of the small global minority who doesn’t ride around on a scooter. Anyway fat tits on a fat girl? Like abs on some skinny guy.



Check your fat privilege at the door kid. I tried to motivate you to make something of yourself. I do it for myself, but I’ve noticed fat people have this auto-denial mindset. It’s pathetic.

Thin privilege is having the ability to provide photographic proof that your body type fits within what people find ‘normal’ enough to not harass you.
