Why is there this unspoken pressure to give explanations for reblogging our own work? Why should we feel ashamed of promoting ourselves? The artists and writers on here work their asses off and deserve as much recognition as possible and there’s nothing wrong with that.
" I don’t think I will be able to see Finding Dory when it hit theaters. Ellen Degeneres use to be one of my role models but when she did her sketch about fashion sizes in America and said that size zero women were ‘nothing’ it hurt so much because I thought she was for everyone, no matter their size. Now every time I think of her I get triggered and depressed instead of the love from her that I use to see. It hurts and it makes me sad because I really wanted to see the movie."
Except that Ellen didn’t say that size zero women were nothing. If I’m not mistaken the direct quote is:
"Really, it’s not just Abercrombie & Fitch, I’ve noticed the trend in women’s clothing. It’s getting ridiculous, there is a size zero. A size zero. Which I don’t understand. Zero is nothing.
It is a critique on how women’s clothing sizes are labeled, not an attack on thin women. I can’t even understand how OP came to that conclusion (unless it’s another quote OP was referring to, in that case I apologize). Zero literally means nothing. And it’s absolutely ridiculous that a clothing size is labeled nothing, or even double nothing, don’t you think so? That is what wrong, and what Ellen was commenting about. Not that it’s wrong to wear a size zero, but that someone was so horrible to label a clothing size as zero.
I hope you read this OP, because it would be a shame if you lost a (in my opinion) excellent role-model over a misunderstanding.
SIGNAL BOOST
YOU KNOW WHAT MAYBE PEOPLE WOULDN’T HAVE TO COVER UP AT THE BEACH IF YOU DIDN’T JUDGE THEM SO HARD BASED ON THEIR WEIGHT AND COMPLETELY SHIT ON THEIR SELF ESTEEMS HOW ABOUT THAT
Hillary Clinton says like an absolute legend. It’s a bit too normal how appearances are criticized and the degree to which such criticisms are perceived as valid. (via tourettes)
Thanks to The Militant Baker these fantastic images/posters are spreading across Facebook like wild fire. Let’s keep the support going to bring awareness to this issue. BE PROGRESSIVE, NOT OPPRESSIVE.
You're such a sad individual. You have nothing to strive for, you still live with your parents and you have no belief in any system. You are the epitome of the neckbeard and neet movement: a lazy individual who will do nothing about his weight or lack of skills, and instead take a picture with his dog in an effort to scrounge up money. Deactivate this blog, and realize plenty of people have lost weight and gone to school to achieve goals. Not make up a fake disease to hide their failures.
I think I’ll have to refute a few things here.
NEET - Not in Employment, Education or Training
None of those are true.
I am self employed. I make an income running this blog you wish me to deactivate.
I also spend a great deal of my time self educating. I don’t have the luxury of attending any kind of school. In fact, my fake disease forced me to drop out of college, but I take pride in continuing to learn on my own. I have a rule that I must learn at least one new thing every day. My self education covers the gamut of astrophysics, philosophy, history, chemistry and, of course, photography.
In the past 2 years I have gone from knowing nothing about photography to having an advanced technical understanding of the major principles and techniques.
See this picture of my dog?
I did not just hit the button on my camera. It required balancing the exposure of the background with my artificial light source. I had to figure out the precise shutter speed to make sure the two would match. I used an external flash on a light stand off to the right. I set it up with an optical trigger and used my camera’s pop up flash to set it off. I used a small aperture to get deep depth of field, I used a low ISO to get the cleanest possible image, I lined up the tree directly in front of the sun so I would not get glare in my image. And I did this all while wrangling a spunky corgi with treats and a tennis ball.
No skills required to pull that off.
As far as other non-skills go…
I have 10+ years experience working with Photoshop as a graphic artist.
I have expert level knowledge in computer hardware and software. I have built many systems and repaired hundreds. I was a consultant for Hewlett Packard for a brief period before my fake disease got too disease-y.
I am a musician. I play guitar and bass and have had several years of vocal training. Here is an instrumental in which I played all the parts (minus percussion) and recorded it myself.
Here is a picture of my beard.
I think you will see that a good portion of it is on my face. So I am more of a neckbeard/facebeard hybrid.
And I think you also mentioned something about losing weight. I offer you this screen capture from my online health profile.
Does that say I’ve lost 18 pounds in the past 2 months? I think it might.
I’d like to thank you. Never before have I had the opportunity to brag about myself this much without looking like an egomaniac. Yes, I might have a fake disease that makes me feel crumby. And sometimes it prevents me from using a lot of the skills I have worked hard to master… but I’m proud of what I have learned. I think I have shown people that if you can’t go to school for whatever reason, you can still learn on your own and be pretty kickass at whatever you are passionate at.
And when you read the comments of this post and hear all of the people saying what a jerk you are… I have a feeling you will literally be a sad individual.
As usual
BEST GIF USE!!
LOOK AT THIS AWESOMELY UNFLATTERING BUT STILL SUPER AWESOME PHOTO SOME FATPHOBIC BODY SHAMING ASSHOLE TOOK OF ME AND POSTED ON REDDIT!
Ugh, I love me. I’m so cute even when my wedgie holds me back from greatness. Also, lololol@fat shamers on Reddit who actively seek out fat people to photograph and then save those pictures to upload online to view over and over again just to be “disgusted” by all of my fat! Y’all wack ass e-thugging enema bags are sooooo basic. Hop off my dick because I’m 2fat2care4ever. But forealz, I love this picture. I’m serving fierce fat femme realness circa 3008 yer so 2000 and late, reppin’ Yung Dinero Records. Also, lol@ the fact that this was at my Body Positivity Rally I organized. I just… I just can’t. People really don’t get it. These people who do this shit are the reason why body positivity, anti-body shaming, and anti-bullying matter. You decided that my existence as a fat woman was so funny, it just had to be put on the internet so the world could laugh at how “unattractive,” “unhealthy,” and “disgusting” I am. Because apparently if you find someone unattractive/ unappealing/ not your preference/ outside of the thin body ideal, it means that you can disrespect them to the point of dehumanization, invade their privacy by taking a picture of me unknowingly and then posting it on a public website, and then ridicule me online with other fat-shaming strangers. I FEEL AMAZING ABOUT MY LIFE RIGHT NOW, YOU GUYS. Here’s the link if anyone wants to see the fuckery first hand. Also, the man who posted this is Heath Dwyer, #35 of the VCU Baseball Team (Its public information on VCU’s website, don’t come for me.). Thanks for being the best asshole you can be, Heath! I’m sure VCU values your body-shaming and cyberbullying! I know I sure do!
You are 1000% better looking than whoever posted this I can guarantee
um i don’t care if you’re 100 pounds if you wear trashy shit like this I’m gonna judge you, end of
this ain’t a porno, nobody wants to see your ass cheeks no matter how fat or thin you are
but lol I forgot, common decency doesn’t matter when you’re making a ~political statement~
Mmmmm….slut shaming. It tastes like uneducated drivel. Yum!
This trash literally reblogged this post JUST TO PUT THIS WOMAN DOWN but tagged it:
Chimamamda Ngozi Adiche, We Should All Be Feminists.
There is a difference between blaming and shaming a person. Blaming is being told you did something wrong. Shaming is being told that there’s something wrong with you, and you’re worthless, bad, inferior or inadequate. Examples of shaming statements include:
· “You were a mistake; I wish I’d never had you”
· “You’re useless; you’ll never amount to anything.”
· “You could never do what he/she does”
· “You’ve ruined my life; you ruin everything for everyone”
Adults shamed in childhood have the following traits:
1. They are afraid to share their true thoughts and feelings with others.
2. They are terrified of intimacy and put up walls in relationships. They also fear commitment as they expect to be rejected.
3. They are often extremely shy, easily embarrassed, and are terrified of being shamed or humiliated. They tend to suffer from debilitating false guilt.
4. They struggle with feelings of worthlessness and believe they are inferior to others. They believe that is something they can never change as worthlessness is at the core of who they are.
5. They often feel ugly and flawed, even when they’re beautiful – and everyone tells them that.
6. They may be narcissistic and act as if they have it all together; alternatively, they may be completely selfless, almost to the point of being a doormat.
7. They are often very defensive and find it hard to bear the slightest criticism. They feel as if they are being constantly watched and judged.
8. They have a pervasive sense of loneliness and always feel like outsiders (even when others genuinely like and love them).
9. They feel controlled – as if they always have to do want others want and say – and this blocks spontaneity.
10. They are perfectionists and usually suffer from performance anxiety. This may also cause them to be procrastinators.
11. They tend to block their feelings through compulsive behaviors like eating disorders, retail therapy or substance-abuse.
12. They find it hard to establish and enforce healthy boundaries with others.
Well this is eye opening…
oh.. my god..
I would totally put my face 4 inches from her chest and scream, “I’M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!” And I’d make a point never to take my eyes off her boobs until she got so uncomfortable and creeped out that she decided to leave, go back home, sit on her bed in the dark, and think about how completely stupid she was to write “STILL NOT ASKING FOR IT” while asking for it.
This woman’s a disgrace.
But she’s not asking for it. This is a human body, nothing more, nothing less. It’s not being sexualized, in fact, she’s covered her nipples too. I’m sorry, h-plus, that you feel that your body and the body of other women should be considered a disgrace. Do you feel uncomfortable when looking at pictures in the doctor’s office of a woman’s naked body? And do you, leftybegone, get uncontrollably horny at the same sight? Control your python (or garden snake), man, you’re not 12. Have some maturity over the matter. If you did that to that woman, leftybegone, you’d just be putting a bad face on us guys, making us seem like sex-crazed, immature horndogs. Maybe you are one, but I’m tired people making that assumption of us as a gender. It’s disgraceful. She wouldn’t think it was stupid of her to do that if you did. You’d just make her movement more powerful.
Rape (noun):the crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.
Men aren’t primal fucking animals. They’re humans that are completely capable of resisting their urges. I bet you (leftybegone) are a kid with some serious hormones since you, obviously, can’t control yourself.
“She was asking for it”. Really? Can you really blame an individual for someone else’s lack of control? The mere fact that a woman is more likely to be assaulted if she wears certain types of clothing does not make it right. She could walk around naked and that still doesn’t excuse rape. The solution to the problem is not for women to “dress less slutty” but for men to realize that a woman’s choice of dress is not an open invitation to sexual assault.
