"Fat Shaming" It's a thing

Be Ashamed of "Fat Shaming"... Ya bunch of dicks.

Okay, so today I have an issue with people that "Fat Shame". For those of you who are not acquainted with "Shaming" in any sense of the phrase, it has to do with derogatory remarks meant to specifically make a person who looks or acts a certain way feel shame. "Slut Shaming" is when you call someone a whore, slut, or even cat call and make hand, hip or even hand gestures designed to make another person feel like a sexual object rather than a person. In that respect, "Fat Shaming" is about making another person feel really bad about their weight. Other than "bullying" there hasn't been a phrase to put to this specific type of harassment until very recently. 

The other day, I was looking at my Cosplay page that I liked on Facebook. There was a woman featured where her before and after photos of her from 2011 and 2013 showed a great deal of weight loss. She couldn't have been more than +20lbs from me, and yet she went down to flat tummy and strong, carved arms and legs. The comments were the best parts of the feature. Tons congratulated the girl for the weight loss and for finding her "inner beauty" show onto her body for others to see. Even more called her an "inspiration" for women who wanted to lose weight to that extent. But what fascinated me were the comments that were almost double-edged or back handed. 

"Finally, a fat bitch that found out how to not over-eat." 

-and-

"That's obviously not her. Not only is it impossible to loose THAT much weight in 2 yrs, but the two girls look NOTHING alike."

...

...

...

*Slow breath in*

THE FUCKING HELL! Not only is it COMPLETELY possible to lose roughly 50 pounds in a year, but these ignorant bastards decided that THEY were the ones that dictated if the girl was even pretty or not!

Fuck.

You.

This is my issue with society's standards today. Only 10% ever meet the "Ideal" Standards of women. Not only that, but open up a fucking magazine and take a look at the way the girls are portrayed. "Sexy", with tousled hair, legs slightly open, breasts pronounced and a soft, dewy skin tone. 

Hi, my name is Myr and I have short, frizzy-curly hair and I'm very curvy and I have rolls and I have freckles all over my skin and scars and my legs have scars from when I used to cut in high school. Fuck you, society. In your eyes, I've already failed as a woman just because I don't look like that.

When I go out to work out or even go for a walk by myself, I see thin girls in tight tops and what I like to call "Hoochie Shorts", the shorts that look like they could pass as denim bloomers in Japan. And, yes, they tend to show off a little bit of the girls'... Hoochie. Then there's me, in shorts to my knees and an empress-top with 5-inch sleeves to cover my flabby arms. I still get weird looks, even today, if I wear anything other than that. 

If I want to go out in a tennis skirt and my jogging top to go for a fast walk before doing some exercises for my leg (Which I can't feel) and my ankle (which is naturally very weak), I have to get disgusted stares, low mutters about what I'm wearing, and dirty looks all the time from passerby.

Um... Excuse me. Who the fuck gave YOU permission to judge ME with your eyes? See what you're doing with your eyes? Fucking stop it. You do not define if I'm pretty or not. I'm not naked, I'm not letting my breasts spill out from my top. UNLIKE YOU. You got boobs. I get it. Congratulations for being a female and having mammaries to feed your offspring. I bet you have a vagina too. -_-

This brings me back to my main point of why "Fat Shaming" Should be destroyed. Us overweight girls already know that we're overweight. We don't need to be reminded, thanks. What we NEED is support to feel good about OURSELVES so WE can work out and be healthy for US. 

OUR weight has nothing to do with YOU. Got it? 

NOTHING. 

AT ALL! 

If you think so, you can shove a cactus covered in Ghost Pepper up your own ass. 

People celebrate a girl's success AFTER she has been able to achieve her goal of weight loss. Otherwise, they give her looks for being overweight and trying to lose weight. I've also been told to just go home and go eat what's in my fridge because that's all I'll ever do and the gym is for thin people. Fucking...

What? WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT KIND OF SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?! You want us to be thin, so you make us feel bad about being fat and then tell us that we'll never BE thin in the first place and tell us to just... keep... being... fat...

Yeah. Good job, society. You're fucking genius. *clap clap clap*

Everyone wants an underdog. Everyone wants someone they can dump their shit on so they feel better about themselves. LEARN TO USE A FUCKING TOILET AND DEAL WITH YOUR OWN SHIT.

That's it. I'm done for tonight.
