RANT - Ragging on the skinny people

[inulro]

I've been saving this one for years, and have finally had enough.

How come it's not OK to say bad things about fat people, but it's OK to rag on the skinny folks?

We don't all have eating disorders. If we do, it's NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS AND IF THE RECIPIENT DID HAVE AN EATING DISORDER AND HEARD/READ YOUR COMMENTS, YOU'D PROBABLY MAKE IT WORSE.

If they don't have an eating disorder - it's still none of your goddamn business.

I've been threatening for years, but from now on I really am starting to unfriend LJs where I have to read nasty comments about how skinny people need to eat more, because I find it really triggering. I hate to be such a speshul snowflake, because I *hatehatehate* aren't-I-precious speshul snowflakes, but knowing what you were all saying behind my back for 30+ years isn't something I need to deal with right now.

ah, but a lot of ppl still think it's okay to rag on fat ppl as well.

You're right, tho. It's not okay to rag on ppl for being fat or being skinny. The only ppl who need to eat more are the ones w hypoglycemic road rage. I recently told someone to go eat a fucking sandwich, but that was due to their lack of food bitchiness. ; >

I dunno, lady. ppl tend to think the grass is greener on the other side but then they want to piss on the grass.

Ain't that the truth!
