The Opinion Corner #1: Anorexia-Making Stereotypes

Hi! First of all, I wanted you to know that this entry is going to contain some swearing words (censored, of course) since, as you know, I love to rage a lot. I thought about a nice method to censor them: change a vowel and put the whole word in bold (so slot and slot don’t get confusing).

So today I wanted to talk about something which is very common to talk about: what society does us all think about fatness.

To start with a subjective point of view, I could say that I’m not the kind of girl that likes muscular guys or even fit guys (embracing someone hard is like embracing a pole, don’t you think so?). Actually, is pretty weird that I fall in love with a guy since I like things like this (call it what you want, it’s neither a paraphilia nor a fetish since I can like humans), which is not very common. Before you ask, I had a human boyfriend and he was actually unhealthily fat. I told him that would be pretty healthy for him to get a little fitter, but I promised him that if he got fit enough to be hard to the touch I would leave him (of course our relationship wasn’t based on physical appearance, what kind of butch did you think I was?) and, guess what, he agreed. Sadly, he hadn’t got Internet anymore since some weeks ago and distance relationships depend on that kind of things… Aaaanyway, I’m not here to talk about my first love! The thesis that I want to show from my opinion is basically: “embracing someone hard to the touch is like embracing a pole”. What I mean that being healthily chubby is possible and it could be sexy, of course. And it’s not OK to criticize someone for being fat or chubby.

But, what does society show us? You can’t count all the times I’ve listened words like “you shutty fat” or “you fat slot” just walking through the schoolyard. Basically, people conceive that fat people is not “statically OK” or simply “not healthy” which, as I have already shown, it’s totally false. People just swallow what popular things such as MTV show them without thinking what the people they are insulting could think or if what they are saying is true for everyone. I think they should say “not according to my physical likes” or “mostly unhealthy” instead of the non-thought shut they usually poke in the shape of words.

I have nothing against people that like super-skinny girls such as Nicki Minaj or Apollo guys such as David Beckham. But people have to know that everyone can be loved by everyone! I mean, a chubby guy can be loved by a “Nicki Minaj” and a chubby gal can be loved by a “David Beckham”, of course!
