no fatties
In stupid_free, there's a post about a girl who is 5'4" and 90lbs, fishing for compliments in ask_me_anything.

[info]isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.
[info]jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for [info]blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

I wonder how long it's going to take before someone here throws a tantrum & bitches that anyone who is skinny mentioning that they've gotten shitty treatment at some point means they have a persecution complex

Newsflash guys: No one is saying skinny people are persecuted. No one is saying larger people don't face any sort of criticism. A skinny person mentioning they get hassle because people think they're anorexic in no way invalidates the experience of a larger person getting called a fattie & told to go on a diet.

Yes, larger people do face a lot more negative reactions. But false assumptions & insults are still false assumptions & insults whatever the size of the person they're directed.

I don't even *know* my weight. And every time this sort of wank comes up I become less curious if anything - people seem so fixated on a silly number.
