I don't care if people think im taking it too seriously. That kind of rhetoric 100% influences people who are vulnerable to eating disorders.

The person in the original post who said "for enjoyment" was trying to counteract that kind of rhetoric, and to respond with "for gaining then" is fucking asinine -- and I'll admit I responded emotionally, but I've been bombarded with subtle, plausibly deniable jabs about food like this my Entire. Fucking. Life. On all sides. I'm tired of it, so ya, I'll call it out when I see it even if somebody thinks im taking it too seriously, because if it helps one person reading it feel heard and avoid falling into disordered eating, it's a net positive imo.

I know a lot of people don't consider fatphobia to be a real problem, but I consider it a tool of fascism since it's a really effective way to keep women weak. What better way to ensure they are easily controlled than to create a beauty standard that requires starvation?
