Are Laios and Falin fat in canon? No, b/c if they were they would have gotten derogatory comments or fat jokes at their expense like the only two actually fat characters in the comic did (the Island lord and Marcille's dad).

Folks draw them fat cause they deserve to be fat, they'd look better fat, they're more attractive fat, it would make more sense and actually use the 'adventurers that are actually good at adventuring are plumper' lore for something.

And also fatness is subjective for anyone that isn't big big. As far as diet culture goes, 'average' *is* fat and 'average' people need to diet and lose weight to 'look better', 'achieve their best selves', 'be careful or else'. If yer railing against anyone looking at Laios and Falin and going 'hmm they look a lil chubby/pudgy/big boned/on the thiker side' you just look suspect in general.

(*note: B4 anyone decides to brink up Senshi, Nemari, Dia, or any of the orcs, unfriendly reminder that those characters aren't fat. They're average for their race. And frankly the named/important orcs are actually on the thinner side for orcs. And orcs and dwarves are literally just bigger boned as in they have broader skeletons with thicker bones literally and a low body fat percentage in spite of how they look.

The only actual fat characters we really know in the setting are the Island Lord [who gets a very rude comment about his weight and is portrayed as incompetent and greedy], Marcille's dad [who gets a fat joke], and Totan [who's barely a character])

Sadly, yes, illymation did get doxxed. It was twice on a website where it stores doxxing info. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to put it here since it might bring attention to the website. The website claims to be against "direct threats of violence" in their TOS, but do they even know what doxxing means? They're literally putting illymation on the lifeline, all for a small mishap. From what I saw, she didn't exactly air out the response video out to the public, and even if she did, would it really put it at the same level of her being doxxed? Ngl, I think Think Before You Sleep should have expected this, making content like this is basically a lure for right-wing doxxers, or the adjacent.

It sounds like Think Before You Sleep is in denial over what bedfellows he (?) keeps, from what I've seen in notes on other posts about the situation. A real POS who won't take responsibility.

Also:

This whole situation is fucking ridiculous and any common decorum of internet use has left the building. I hope she's safe, that's all I can think of over and over, where ever she is she has some support IRL.

Btw I rewatched her video on being Jewish and she was doxxed for that too previously. The bedfellows is giving fleas yall.

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

#and this isn’t some like “IF A CUTE GUY HARASSES A GIRL SHED LOVE IT BUT WHEN A FAT GUY DOES IT SHED HATE IT” #I guarantee she’d hate it nontheless #just saying that the way some of y’all treat fat guys is seriously disgusting #and a lot of em end up falling down the incel and rightwing pipelines because of it #fatphobia #antimasculism #fatphobes #male fatphobia #transandrophobia #anti transmasculinity

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

#disability #ableism #ableism tw #fatphobia #fatphobia tw #also if it's an issue solved by weight loss why would you want them to suffer until the weight loss helps wouldn't that DISCOURAGE them? #because if i were suffering the entire time i sure as fuck wouldn't want to keep going for the ~idea~ of it's gonna pay off!!! #also even if they 'made themself disabled' by being fat or anything else that doesn't matter. they're still disabled. #there is no 'good' disabled and 'bad' disabled and you cannot sort people into those categories #for every 'bad' fat disabled person there are multiple 'good' fat disabled people but you can't tell them apart often actually! #because you would have to know the intimate details of their medical history and familial lineage and tbh if you're... #...being a piece of shit to a disabled person because you assume they're guilty until proven innocent i don't blame others for being... #...weary of you and not wanting to be around you. because you've already proven you can't handle the IDEA of complex disabled experience

No one is forcing you to be attracted to fat people. All you have to do is be normal and polite and not like.. cruel and mean. You'd think this wasn't a big ask but Guess What

fat people are allowed to be fat even if they don’t starve themselves or push themselves physically past their limits btw

a post: it’s okay to be fat

responses: yes AND it’s okay to be skinny too!!! women are gorgeous even if they CAN’T gain an ounce 💜 now I’m not comparing this to fatphobia at all 🥺 but people assume things of me all the time just because I’m 😡 thin 😡 and that isn’t right either. it’s just more assumptions and exclusion ❤️ anyway not to detract from the OP at all but just remember that thin women are soooooo valid

“The fear of being fat is the fear of joining an underclass that you have so readily dismissed, looked down on, looked past, or found yourself grateful not to be a part of. It is a fear of being seen as slothful, gluttonous, greedy, unambitious, unwanted, and, worst of all, unlovable. Fat has largely been weaponized by straight-size people — the very people it seems to hurt most deeply. And ultimately, thin people are terrified of being treated the way they have so often seen fat people treated or even the way they’ve treated fat people themselves. In that way, thinness isn’t just a matter of health or beauty or happiness. It is a cultural structure of power and dominance.”

I think the thing that drives me the most batshit about the medical fatphobia conversation is that the burden of proof feels so exactly backwards. Just from an obvious best practices standpoint???

Things like intentional malnourishment, intentionally incapacitating vital organs through surgery, denial of potentially lifesaving medical care until those things are done, etc.

Those are all pretty extreme. The kinds of things it feels like a “first do no harm” system should have a lot of solid evidence for before recommending or implementing them.

But they’re so bog standard and accepted and everyone from doctors to your own family will look at you like you’re a flat-earther when you suggest maybe we shouldn’t be defaulting to that.

Four hands are shown, each holding the wrist of another to create a square. The hands are labelled ‘trans people’, ‘fat people’, ‘disabled people’, and ‘POC’ (counter-clockwise from upper left.). The text in the space bwteen the hands reads ‘Any attraction felt towards us or by us is labelled as a fetish by people outside our communities who claim to be allies but in actuality just see us as somehow lesser and therefor undeserving of our own bodily and sexual autonomy’.

support ALL fat women, not just the ones with hourglass figures and smooth skin. support fat women with apron bellies, with small boobs, with flat butts, with visible rolls, with arm flaps, with thick necks, with no jawline, with “multiple” chins. support fat women with big shoulders, fat women who’s waists don’t go in, who have stretch marks on their armpits and arms and stomach, not just on their chest and thighs or butts or “attractive” places.

support disabled fat women. support fat women of color. support fat trans women. support fat women when they wear crop tops and low rise jeans and bikinis and support fat women when they wear hijab and abayas. support fat women who are advocates and support fat women who are just trying to live their lives in peace

not just the women you’re attracted to. not just the ones you find “palatable”, not just the ones who are “thick”. all of us.

You know I wish fatphobia was less pervasive. Even among people who consider themself as progressive, it's rampant. So quick reminder. No it's actually not easy to stop being fat, and it sucks that we are treated differently for something we really can't control. Shaming a fat person for being fat, and shaming them for not having the "willpower" to become skinny- is bigotry. And if all you talk to fat people about is weight loss and dieting- congratulations! You're being a dick! Stop.

As a fat person, one thing that would be awesome is if thin people could just get over it. People are fat sometimes. It's fine. Chill. We're not a problem you need to solve, we're just a bunch of people who deserve social equality.

I'm not saying you should be all "I don't see size", just that I'm tired of being met with some form of "but I can't just let you be this way". Yes, you can! I can be fat all day and you can just not worry about it! Look at us go!
