#Fatphobia
What this most recent doctor said when discussing my diet and nutrition wasn’t the most awful thing ever. What I heard was really demoralizing and mean though.

My brain is now like don’t eat that or that or or or… she called you ********

*Not subjecting yall to my internalized shame/fatphobia

Even as an amab white person, I felt a lot of aspects of this video.

this lilly commercial featuring a woman reflecting on the toll of societal fatphobia over a lifetime which ends with "you can get GLP-1s on medicare now!" is so unspeakably evil

#weight
#diet these fucking GLP 1 ads that are all about how much this woman's life has been affected by fatphobia w/ the drugs presented as the solution

Hitting on sexism, transphobia, and fatphobia all in one, my ex was severely mistreated EVEN BY A DOCTOR WHO WAS VERY GOOD TO HIM AFTER THIS POINT.

The doctor shouldn't have needed someone he saw as a man to tell him to do his job, but he defaulted to ignoring "fat women who complain".

YOU reading this have internalized racism, antiblackness, ableism, fatphobia, transmisogyny, and transphobia that let you rationalize the treatment that kills us dead. you can and should support your trans friends who you think don't need it, ESPECIALLY if she's annoying or scary or you aren't close

Haven't felt really all that good about myself in a while. Ongoing dysphoria season which is based mostly on size and weight mixing with internalized fatphobia and body dysmorphia. I hate how I am looking in every photo not taken by me specifically.

Bleh.

fatphobia is the same, unfortunately. saw research that shows people (both fat & thin people) hate fat people more when they see more of us. delightful.

On the day the sun finally vaporizes the earth, another smug lib will have just finished posting causal fatphobia

a while back we started watching Friends with LilAware and yes it's fun and funny but also a LOT of problematic stuff that pushed some good conversations about things like the shows homophobia, fatphobia, lack of diversity, and mostly Ross-related (sometimes truly) terrible relationship behavior
I dont know much here -- I only took 1 undergrad law class when i was at Cornell -- but NYU did have Ross Geller on faculty for years even though they knew he dated a student

Anyways she has big thoughts on societal fatphobia and the relegation of bodies to the category of obscene based on weight and how damaging it is to the soul but she cannot state them or 90% of her art commissions will evaporate

"Like who cares if Samyra hurt Old Navy's feelings? She was much nicer than I would be. I tell a brand to kill themselves if they don't have a color I like in stock, let alone my size!"

This is an excellent video essay on the pervasive nature of fatphobia 🧡🧡🧡

This panel turning into legitimate discourse and discussions about fatphobia is insane. God help this fandom

This is a really good discussion about Kate Manne’s most recent book on fat phobia and fat bias called ‘Shrinking’

www.technologyreview.com/2024/06/25/1...
Fighting fatphobia
In her first two books, philosopher Kate Manne, PhD ’11, tackled misogyny and male privilege. For her third, she took on what had long been a bane of her existence.

Beyond missing the point of music, this makes me annoyed again at Wall:E’s casual fatphobia. Simply having humanity utterly disconnected from each other and the world around them, unthinking consumers of predigested pulp, would have been a lot more prescient.
When you have no concept of how people engage with music

We can never escape fatphobia 😔
September 30, 2026 at 2:25 AM
you have zero idea how many people do not even begin to comprehend fatphobia as prejudiced. they just. see it as a goal everyone has.

Yeah medical fatphobia is REAL, 1000% yes, but there are yeah multiple factors going on simultaneously with it from the care team’s perspective. Weight loss is *usually* (not always) a less intrusive process than actual surgery, and they’re trained to always go through the least intrusive methods

Fat bodies evolved for survival 🙌

Being fat grants you lower mortality rate for every disease 💯

Fatphobia is unscientific 🤡

Sucks that you can't talk about actresses having gotten thinner lately (a cultural trend that's obv inseparable from both the right wing having a moment and the pharmaceutical industry jizzing their pants over GLP-1s) without skinny girls going "So you're insulting me then? Doing reverse fatphobia?"
September 29, 2026 at 9:49 PM
Oof I know the feeling. Just try to remind yourself that China, Japan and South Korea all have seeeerious issues with fatphobia. The sizes aren't even particularly reasonable for their own citizens much less us, because they *want* you to feel like shit about your weight.
