Why doesn’t body positivity get it? Body positivity is sort of outdated at this point, and I am so grateful for that. I think slowly people are understanding that the body positivity movement of a few years ago clearly hasn’t worked out, I mean has anyone really noticed people being less fatphobic? I fucking haven’t. In hindsight, it was all such half cooked and underdeveloped commentary on women’s bodies that sort of missed all the important marks. The whole thing was big bodies are beautiful and sexy, and yes I completely agree, but societal change isn’t about like, “oh look at this hot sexy fat women that is actually a worthy human being because she’s worth fucking just like skinny girls” (cue the body positivity movement getting like 3 chubby women employed as lingerie models). Like fat women get laid, been known for centuries people, same thing with fat women being confident, like again, been known, fat women have been out here being confident in the face of judgment for centuries. The body positivity movement was all about trying to fit bigger bodies into the mainstream, when we need to change the mainstream. The whole fucking issue isn’t, big bodies need to be considered beautiful too, the issue is why do we care so much about beautiful to begin with, why does feeling good about our bodies need to be that we evaluate them as beautiful? The issue isn’t changing beauty standards to include fat women, because that, as proven, won’t happen, it’s about devaluing our beauty standards because value and beauty should never go together. Body neutrality everybody! Body neutrality.
