Hi, I'm budoguytenkaichi, and I'm fat.
And I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one here either.
On here, and much of the left, there's a prevalent attitude of encouraging "the swoletariat" or how "a fascist worked out today, did you?".
These things are not necessarily bad or negative on their own, but it should be remembered that people are deserving of respect and dignity whether they choose to get in shape or not.
I say that cuz, in addition to these views, I've also seen plenty of fat shaming and weight-based insults, especially aimed at chuds/libs we don't like, so that makes it "okay".
It doesn't, it really doesn't.
Remember that when you insult someone's weight, and infer that they're a "disgusting, worthless slob" or what have you, odds are there are non-thin comrades seeing that too and wondering "Would they think of me that way too?".
Us being overweight/fat doesn't make us worth less as human beings, whether we're being compared to those of average weight, or those with the physiques of Olympians.
I'll always remember how someone on the old subreddit basically told me that non-thin comrades should be excluded from all public materials/propaganda/etc. and hidden away, because apparently we'd "hurt" the cause just by existing and being acknowledged.
Fuck that.
Don't push away your overweight/fat comrades people, we want a better future just as much as you do.
yeah i was with this post till it went to "white people bad" lol
I'm literally white and i make those jokes because,,, white people bad. If you're feeling sensitive about people saying that, maybe examine why you're invested at all about that. If you live in North America and you're white, you're literally a fucking colonizer and you need to address that. That doesn't mean you're bad or evil, but you are here because your ancestors were most likely involved in evil shit. North america was fully POC hundreds of years ago and yet, now Amerikkka and Klanada are white supremecist nations and constantly work to uphold white supremacy. I mean, just look at our presidential candidates this year. We had the guy who literately wrote the bill that put millions of black people back into slavery via prison or the guy who took out a full page ad calling for the murder of innocent black teens and who equated mexicans with rapists.
White people bad.
It's like the same shit as men getting offended by women saying 'destroy the patriarchy'. Shut the fuck up, if you're actually "one of the good ones" (you're not, because you care more about tone policing than helping out) you would either just laugh in agreement or just move on because it doesn't apply to you.
