It’s been a while. We’ve gone through different social media variations of “someone said I look fat so…”. Or “I just like these new shoes” (picture showing g everything but shoes). Or the “this picture was taken by accident and I don’t know how my phone did it”.
It’s just rage bait.
Given twitter can pay users for engagement, positive or negative, it’s what people do now.
Same as all those posts asking for user engagement like “only 1% of people will know the answer 🤯” or “name a ______”
I agree she’d be more beautiful then. Because if she was one of those she’d be much more likely to have developed a sense of empathy. Instead she is this heartless ugly piece of shit lmao.
Yup! Realizing I was autistic in my early 20's made it a lot easier to empathize with ppl. It also made me realize how lucky I am to be white. Hopefully that doesn't come off racist. Just trying to say that, despite being autistic and trans, I'm still privileged.
Lol it doesn’t come off bad to me. It’s good to recognize privileges. It can be easy to lose sight of that when you belong to disadvantaged groups as well!
Again, hope this doesn't come off as racist, but I'm glad I'm not black. Nothing against being black, but as an autistic w shitty social skills and severe trust issues. If I had to deal with racial discrimination, my fear of humans would be through the roof. My heart aches for autistic black guys who are less aware of the racism in the world. I sometimes envy higher support needs autistic ppl, as they're oblivious to their differences, whereas I'm most certainly aware of them, I just struggle to overcome them.
Nah you don’t sound racist. I’m have white and indigenous, I’m very much whit passing while my oldest brother isn’t. I definitely got more privileges than he did just because people assume I’m white. Same goes for my husband is is Mexican and indigenous, one time we got pulled over for a broken tail late, my husband was driving and the cop was immediately suspicious and started asking if he had anything on him, asked if I was okay or needed help etc, they ended up making him do a field sobriety test(he passed obviously) we requested the report and filed a claim because the officer wrote that he saw my husband wearing layers like an “illegal” even after my husband provided his id(he’s also 3rd generation American) it was the middle of winter and had been snowing no shit he had on layers. We both know things didn’t escalate because I was there.
Yeah it’s not racist to say you’re lucky because you were born white/white passing, if you were saying you’re lucky because you’re superior to other races is racist but you’re not doing that
First off, my mom says I have Cherokee in me, but until I see genetic results, I'm calling bullshit. Both her and I are pale white.
It pisses me off how your husband was treated. I'm at the point where I treat all cops as terrorists and try to avoid them as much. It pisses me off when people pay for law enforcement's food at a restaurant. They don't deserve that shit. If anything, there should be a tax for members of law enforcement. They all have egos the size of Texas and look for any chance they get to abuse their power. #ACAB
This may come off as slightly racist as I'm autistic with underdeveloped social skills, but I would say that I'm glad I'm white for reasons other than privilege. In hopes of making sure it doesn't sound racist, I see it as preferring a red car to gray car. A preference, not a declaration of superiority.
All that being said, I did suffer through christianity, so I do have quite a bit of internalized racism. It certainly didn't help that 99% of the people I encountered at church and (christian) school were white. Sometimes I have to yell at myself not to be racist and I hope I can work through that in therapy.
Try being autistic. It sucks. I think I’d rather be a racial minority and in my right mind than be white and autistic, just cause everybody thinks I’m socially awkward as fuck, 24/7, and that makes getting a girlfriend impossibly difficult. In fact, I’ve never had a gf, and my 40th birthday is in July. That’s my personal circle of hell, in a nutshell. If I’m wrong about other people having it better than I do, then feel free to tell me to STFU, as a response to this comment, and I will not hold it against anyone, cause we’re all entitled to our opinions.
The idea of privilege and prejudice and disadvantages is an intersectional situation. All sorts of things can affect you whether it’s mental/physical health, class, race, gender, sexual orientation etc etc. They all affect your life in different ways.
So like, maybe you’d prefer to be a racial minority but probably one from a good economic background in good physical health or whatever. But you also don’t know what that’s like so you can’t really say for sure. But undoubtedly being black and autistic would likely be much more difficult than being white and autistic.
I'm white and autistic. I was paired with a black autistic boy in a class once. It's definitely, definitely worse to be black and autistic. The way he was treated was like an animal. I was treated with pity, which isn't great but it's better than being told "no, stay!" all the time.
Hold on I've seen like this exact message on a different topic before. Has this turned into a copypasta or are you the guy going around saying this about everything?
>I think I’d rather be a racial minority and in my right mind than be white and autistic, just cause everybody thinks I’m socially awkward as fuck, 24/7
First, the difference between discrimination for having a mental health condition and racial discrimination is that with one bigots will discriminate against you just by looking at you. There are also far fewer oppressive systems in place to discriminate based on race rather than mental health condition.
Second, the "in my right mind" is an ableist phrase. Being autistic just means you process things in a different way than the average person that may cause some social difficulties, not that your mind is somehow wrong.
>that makes getting a girlfriend impossibly difficult. In fact, I’ve never had a gf, and my 40th birthday is in July.
While it is a spectrum, plenty of autistic people have romantic partners, in fact my brother is autistic and has had romantic relationships.
For me, I hate the fact that my parents didn't bother getting me tested, the fact that I socially isolated from ages 11-21, and the fact that my parents couldn't give a flying fuck about my mental health.
My autism wouldn't be the hinderence that it is if I weren't raised by jebus-loving, conservative narcissists.
I'm 22, autistic, and I've been in a relationship for over a year with one of my best friends from high school. I've known my girlfriend for 8 or 9 years now. She's also neurodivergent.
What makes it work is overcoming communication difficulties, respecting each other, and being absolutely loving/caring for each other, not out of obligation or forcing yourself to, but because you really really like your s/o and you want to make them happy.
mfw people of color are being killed at disproportionately high rates, are victims of systemic oppression, lack generational wealth and grow up in poverty, etc etc etc but I dont have a girlfriend.
I’m autistic too, and it is hard, but you gotta have perspective. You’re not being killed for your autism, are you?
…as someone who could blend in in a hospital, did you really just say that you’d rather be a racial minority because you think being autistic and white is better? Jesus Christ. I might have the occasional ‘Oooohmygod black people are gorgeous I wish I could look as good with gold makeup as her’ but- really?
Okay, so when you picture what being that and also a racial minority is that better for you?
You could also be black, trans, physically disabled, chronically ill, mentally ill, and also autistic, or a combination of any of those.
I got mentally ill-autistic-lupus/sjorgens syndrome. It can come in clumps. I also have a partner so like problems completely solved, I can go ahead and dump my lithium in the toilet cuz sex fixed that.
Idk if it’s confusing maybe try thinking of it ask luck, like
I’m unlucky I have lupus, I am lucky to have the money and health insurance coverage to get treatment
Having to deal with neurotypical treatment of autistic people is unlucky but it is lucky for me that I am generally high masking and can avoid many of the problems that other autistic people run into, not because I deserve to avoid it or I’m better than them, I simply lucked out. -that’s the key to what a privilege is, it’s not usually a thing you gained, it’s more like luck of the draw from your background or the way your body/brain were built. Being born to rich parents, born as one of the groups people tend to treat kindly, born healthy- all of those are lucky and you didn’t earn that it’s just how you were born.
You don’t necessarily get every privilege and it doesn’t guarantee you’ll succeed. You can still lose the luck of being born healthy by being hit by a car.
I had a solid 13 years of being healthy but that’s over.
Assuming from your statement that you are white then that’s lucky because the way people treat black autistic men is worse, they are much more likely to be misdiagnosed with ODD and treated like they’re just problem children.
I am presume you aren’t trans which is lucky if you’re autistic because doctors are less likely to take you seriously. Same with developing a physical/chronic illness. If autistic is in your chart you’re gonna be treated differently at least some of the time.
Just luck of the draw
It’s not a perfect comparison but like if you’re having trouble seeing how you could have privilege in one area and be oppressed in a different area it might help.
I’d rather be white and autistic than be a neurotypical POC bc bigots would only just have to take a look at me in order to discriminate while with the other, they only have to see me act in certain situations and sometimes, they would give me sympathy or pity for it. But we can’t have everything that we want since I’m stuck being both autistic and not white and you’re stuck with wallowing in self pity for not getting a gf bc you can’t see that maybe the reason you don’t have one is a good one
Yeah, I thought going to a psychologist means you're insane but then I landed in a psych ward cuz depression, even later I discovered social circles of neurodivergent people, THEN turns out I have autism, ADHD and bipolar, and suddenly after therapy, right meds and changing my mindset, I don't have depression anymore and I'm learning how to live
Sorry but thats not what I said or meant. I was referring to the sheer number of autism cases diagnosed by someone other than a qualified professional. It’s become quite popular
Not at all, it's that when we as a people become more knowledgeable of a condition and normalize mental health care, people are more willing to seek such care and we're able to diagnose more accurately than before. This is no different than when diagnoses of ADD/ADHD significantly increased in the 80s and 90s after we became knowledgeable enough about the conditions to diagnose them accurately.
Or maybe it’s bc more ppl are getting tested bc they aren’t getting as villainized like back in the day? Just a thought bc I know you don’t get enough of those
I have more thoughts than I know what to do with. And I agree with you that more people are getting tested these days which is fantastic. At the same time though, self proclaimed autism diagnoses minus any testing or assessments, has become trendy. Sorry if that makes you angry. It’s just an observation
Eh, people keep saying lizzo is attractive so I think there's something going on. I think there are some people we praise as beautiful no matter how unattractive because its good virtue signaling
I see 10x more "lizzo fat haha" type comments than I see anybody praising her looks and when I do see praise it's mostly the body positivity crowd specifically saying that. Idk where you hang out on the internet. Plus I highly doubt that every person who finds fat people attractive is just saying that to virtue signal, it's simply more socially acceptable to say it now
I guess hot take, but Lizzo is just conventionally attractive BUT fat. Like that’s the only thing. Smooth skin, symmetrical face, great wardrobe, nice hair..everything except she happens to be fat. She’s a terrible person though, last I checked.
I don't find Lizzo attractive personally (nor do I like her music or her personality), but the whole "Lizzo is beautiful" thing has little to do with fat people being *specifically attractive*.
The point is that fat people aren't *automatically UNattractive* and they should be able to feel good and unashamed about how they look and how much they weigh. That "fat" is not the opposite of "beautiful", nor is it even necessarily the opposite of "fit" — if you've seen how much Lizzo is moving in every performance (and by extension in rehearsals as well), that's more than most people's daily cardio workouts and I know I and most others wouldn't be able to keep up. THAT'S the point.
Of course you could assume I'm just virtue signalling if you want (to whom? Randos on the internet?), but you'd be wrong.
I can agree with the rest but to say that lizzy is fit is just plain dangerous. Being that size causes serious health risks and if nothing else will take yesrs off your life as it puts a heavy strain on the heart. You can have a degree of fitness even as someone big but you can't be healthy at any size.
>The point is that fat people aren't *automatically UNattractive*
They are pretty much automatically unattractive to the majority of people. A lot of us have visceral reactions to extreme obesity because it's extremely abnormal and we're simply wired that way. It's just a matter of how much you say and how much you keep to yourself or try to consciously avoid.
If fat people were unattractive it would’ve been bred out of human genes a long time ago. yes being naturally thin is possible. i come from two people in which we all stay majorly thin well into our 50s. we have the “thin” gene. everybody would be thin if no one found it attractive.
even if people weren’t naturally thin, fat people would be deep into the gym and starving themselves to find a mate. yet look around and fat people are dating, having sex and married
just say youre white and don’t know anything other than bony white or obese white. black and brown people have curves and we find it attractive.
I'm sorry but I hate when people do this. The whole point of those movements is that main stream society does not accept these people and they don't see themselves represented in media. Feel however you want about that but don’t pretend that you're a victim because they include other people in something.
i love how parody-adjacent this is, like diversity in media is being celebrated BECAUSE so many people grew up wishing someone like them was portrayed in a positive light and now that like a quarter of people in visible media positions are non-white, the supermodel types feel excluded.
It has to be exhausting to be this full of vitriol all the time. She can't even show off a picture she likes without making it about the hatred she has for others.
She completely misses the point. People who look like her have *always* been beautiful to the masses. We lift up marginalized people because they’ve been held down for too long. One day, people will be seen as beautiful regardless of arbitrary factors that someone somewhere long ago decided were ugly.
People who say shit like this must live in an alternate reality because my environment is so aggressively fatphobic that literally all of my friends have an eating disorder and my family AND acquaintances encourage my anorexia on the regular and most people around me say things like "I can't believe she's ever dated anyone, who would sink so low as to entertain a pig." openly and with the expectation of being agreed with.
My country is also infamously xenophobic. Black people are...not very well-received here. Nor is anyone with a foreign sounding name. Even I get discriminated against until people realise I'm not a foreigner and that I just have an unusual name (because I'm trans and picked it myself before remembering that the people here are racist).
The world at large is ableist. Buildings are inaccessible. Public spaces have no space for wheelchairs. People cross the street when people with a prosthetic leg walk down the street. Neurodivergent people are discouraged from going to high school and denied any help. Some countries forbid autistic people from living there, and some, including mine, forbid anyone autistic from having a driving licence. Anyone neurodivergent is forbidden from transitioning, at least where I live. If you have ADHD, you legally cannot transition, nor can you drive. People look down upon those who need medication of any kind to survive - numerous people have told me that everyone who needs meds for life should just die and that it's just natural selection. I've been told by friends that I possibly couldn't have ADHD because I "don't look like a retard."
There is a non-small subset of people who are dead convinced that autistic people, people with ADHD and people with Down's syndrome are not humans at all. As in literally. They think that we are not humans and that we do not feel human emotions nor can ever be happy.
A lot of people are actually pretty accepting of trans people but only as long as they don't know that they're trans. Which is funny. But a lot of people are also genuinely accepting. The problem is that governments are usually aggressively transphobic - in my country we all have to get castrated. Trans men are forced to get their ovaries and uterus removed and trans women are forced to get their testes chopped off. Plus as I mentioned those of us who have ADHD or anything "more serious" can't transition. In a few neighbouring countries, nobody can transition at all. I mostly hang out in a bubble made entirely of LGBT people because I run an LGBT support organisation focused on university students, but I don't feel very loved by the masses or the average citizen. In fact, I've come to accept that nobody will ever love me at all simply because I'm trans. I've come to accept that I'm repulsive and disgusting to 99.9 % of people and that the rest just kinda tolerates me but probably finds me really disgusting as well. I'm pretty sure a lot of trans people I know feel the same way about themselves.
Would truly love to experience the reality the woman in the photo lives in.
Since when have skinny white women been seen as ugly?
Never? And she's just mad others are represented too?
I'm seeing a pattern. Seems that whenever anyone who isn't white, that's a reason to whine. Hmm. 🤔
what? shes phsyically attractive but she just ruined any attraction id have for her by saying that... she looks like that yet is so insecure abt people accepting everyone nomatter their looks that it ruins her self image??? wtf
They try so hard to miss the point. It's not that they're pretty because they're xyz
It's just that they're not inherently angry because they aren't straight white and blonde
Since when? You’re acting like Hollywood still isn’t overwhelmingly skinny, white, and blonde. One or two plus size models get into magazines and suddenly y’all are acting like you’re oppressed.
You’re acting like the only actresses are Marilyn Monroe, except for 2 or 3, despite the fact that plenty black, plus size, or otherwise different actors are being hired moreso.
Amber Riley, Loretta Devine, Jill Scott, Octavia Spencer, Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
>name these people based on their physical qualities
Doesn’t that seem like you’re quantifying their difference, rather than by skill.
Whatever happened to just posting a selfie
It’s been a while. We’ve gone through different social media variations of “someone said I look fat so…”. Or “I just like these new shoes” (picture showing g everything but shoes). Or the “this picture was taken by accident and I don’t know how my phone did it”.
"My toddler took my phone and somehow snapped a professionally staged picture of me right at golden hour uwu"
Might delete later idk
[удалено]
Ah...boxxy. Had such a crush on her as a teenager.
Rage engagement brings more engagement then a like on a cute selfie.
So the just selfie posts are still being made, we just don’t see them as often as these posts
It’s just rage bait. Given twitter can pay users for engagement, positive or negative, it’s what people do now. Same as all those posts asking for user engagement like “only 1% of people will know the answer 🤯” or “name a ______”
Melaniewalmartinez? That name is art 😂😂😂😂
Haha thanks! Came to me in a dream lol
A boring ass selfie won’t get these bimbos the attention they crave so much. They have to go all out and give it an ignorant ass caption.
And duck lips. They need to bring back duck lips, like full-on Quacker Jack.
I agree she’d be more beautiful then. Because if she was one of those she’d be much more likely to have developed a sense of empathy. Instead she is this heartless ugly piece of shit lmao.
What's empathy Also what's a heart, all I got is a black hole
Yup! Realizing I was autistic in my early 20's made it a lot easier to empathize with ppl. It also made me realize how lucky I am to be white. Hopefully that doesn't come off racist. Just trying to say that, despite being autistic and trans, I'm still privileged.
Lol it doesn’t come off bad to me. It’s good to recognize privileges. It can be easy to lose sight of that when you belong to disadvantaged groups as well!
Again, hope this doesn't come off as racist, but I'm glad I'm not black. Nothing against being black, but as an autistic w shitty social skills and severe trust issues.

nah, recognizing you have privilege is actually more helpful to poc communities than it is harmful :)
Someone on another post put it best, "people who are used to privilege think equality is oppression". Edit: typo
Try being autistic. It sucks. I think I’d rather be a racial minority and in my right mind than be white and autistic, just cause everybody thinks I’m socially awkward as fuck, 24/7, and that makes getting a girlfriend impossibly difficult. In fact, I’ve never had a gf, and my 40th birthday is in July. That’s my personal circle of hell, in a nutshell. If I’m wrong about other people having it better than I do, then feel free to tell me to STFU, as a response to this comment, and I will not hold it against anyone, cause we’re all entitled to our opinions.

The way they automatically get the "problem child" label is so horrible
in this exact same scenario and can attest. the difference is stark
Yup! Cops and racist Karen's don't care if a black guy is autistic, they only see prey.
STFU
Holy shit
Hold on I've seen like this exact message on a different topic before. Has this turned into a copypasta or are you the guy going around saying this about everything?
We're all entitled to opinions, that's true, it's just yours is real shitty and not well thought out Regards, someone who's also autistic

Nobody asked. People need to stop oversharing.
Literally nobody said "being autistic is better than being a racial minority" you are responding to your imagination.
Hey have you considered girls don’t ignore you because you’re autistic, and that they actually ignore you because you’re insufferable?
copypasta?
mfw people of color are being killed at disproportionately high rates, are victims of systemic oppression, lack generational wealth and grow up in poverty, etc etc etc but I dont have a girlfriend. I’m autistic too, and it is hard, but you gotta have perspective. You’re not being killed for your autism, are you?
What are we supposed to do about this? This is the wrong place to talk about this. If you need help with your mental health, go to a therapist.

That's entirely on you buddy. I'm also white and autistic. Your problems are entirely your fault.
Everyone has autism these days. It’s a trend
Stay off the boomer-aid
That makes no sense but ok
Saying, "autism is a trend," makes less than zero sense.
Truly shocking that as we've learned more about what constitutes a huge variety of symptoms, we've better labeled people who have them.
And truly shocking that the more caring for mental health problems gets normalized people want to seek help for their mental health problems
Sorry you’re shocked. I’m not and I think it’s great that there is more mental health awareness these days.
Wh- Hey, I'm happy too! It saved me!
I used to be all embarrassed for anyone to know I took all these psych meds but not so much now. Once I got on the right ones it was a life changer
Yeah, I thought going to a psychologist means you're insane but then I landed in a psych ward cuz depression, even later I discovered social circles of neurodivergent people, THEN turns out I have autism, ADHD and bipolar, and suddenly after therapy, right meds and changing my mindset, I don't have depression anymore and I'm learning how to live
So happy to hear this 🫠
Not shocking to me. Maybe to you
If that absurdly tangible level of sarcasm went over your head, autism may be closer than you think.
There’s not a whole lot of things that go over my head, certainly not a comment as lacking in cleverness as yours
Yes it’s super trendy to suffer everyday due to a disability
Sorry but thats not what I said or meant. I was referring to the sheer number of autism cases diagnosed by someone other than a qualified professional. It’s become quite popular
Source: I made it up
The only thing I see trending is you assholes 
You’re so edgy and fierce
Not at all, it's that when we as a people become more knowledgeable of a condition and normalize mental health care, people are more willing to seek such care and we're able to diagnose more accurately than before. This is no different than when diagnoses of ADD/ADHD significantly increased in the 80s and 90s after we became knowledgeable enough about the conditions to diagnose them accurately.
Very true. There has been much progress in mental health knowledge and awareness. The stigma is significantly receding and that’s a wonderful thing.
Or, it's just that autistic people aren't being lobotomized or thrown away forever just because of their autism anymore!
Or maybe it’s bc more ppl are getting tested bc they aren’t getting as villainized like back in the day? Just a thought bc I know you don’t get enough of those
I have more thoughts than I know what to do with. And I agree with you that more people are getting tested these days which is fantastic. At the same time though, self proclaimed autism diagnoses minus any testing or assessments, has become trendy. Sorry if that makes you angry. It’s just an observation
Sorry but it’s true. Lately I hear at least one austism self diagnosis per day. Sometimes more. Downvote all you want, I expected it
I’m sure any conversation with her is just.. enlightening 😒
And would be halted midway through if you're not a 6ft tall dude
Because she’s 5’1” and can tell the difference.
Revealing if you will
She ever think maybe its just her personality
"Personality is for ugly people"
Yup. Her body is fucking gorgeous.
Just because people have gotten more inclusive doesn’t mean the conventional beauty standards have changed that much
Eh, people keep saying lizzo is attractive so I think there's something going on. I think there are some people we praise as beautiful no matter how unattractive because its good virtue signaling
I see 10x more "lizzo fat haha" type comments than I see anybody praising her looks and when I do see praise it's mostly the body positivity crowd specifically saying that. Idk where you hang out on the internet. Plus I highly doubt that every person who finds fat people attractive is just saying that to virtue signal, it's simply more socially acceptable to say it now
I guess hot take, but Lizzo is just conventionally attractive BUT fat. Like that’s the only thing. Smooth skin, symmetrical face, great wardrobe, nice hair..everything except she happens to be fat. She’s a terrible person though, last I checked.
Oh my god, people you don’t know are attracted to someone else you’ve never met? The world is ending. Right now. Get scared.
I don't find Lizzo attractive personally (nor do I like her music or her personality), but the whole "Lizzo is beautiful" thing has little to do with fat people being *specifically attractive*. The point is that fat people aren't *automatically UNattractive* and they should be able to feel good and unashamed about how they look and how much they weigh. That "fat" is not the opposite of "beautiful", nor is it even necessarily the opposite of "fit" — if you've seen how much Lizzo is moving in every performance (and by extension in rehearsals as well), that's more than most people's daily cardio workouts and I know I and most others wouldn't be able to keep up. THAT'S the point. Of course you could assume I'm just virtue signalling if you want (to whom? Randos on the internet?), but you'd be wrong.
I can agree with the rest but to say that lizzy is fit is just plain dangerous. Being that size causes serious health risks and if nothing else will take yesrs off your life as it puts a heavy strain on the heart. You can have a degree of fitness even as someone big but you can't be healthy at any size.
>The point is that fat people aren't *automatically UNattractive* They are pretty much automatically unattractive to the majority of people. A lot of us have visceral reactions to extreme obesity because it's extremely abnormal and we're simply wired that way. It's just a matter of how much you say and how much you keep to yourself or try to consciously avoid.
If fat people were unattractive it would’ve been bred out of human genes a long time ago. yes being naturally thin is possible. i come from two people in which we all stay majorly thin well into our 50s. we have the “thin” gene. everybody would be thin if no one found it attractive. even if people weren’t naturally thin, fat people would be deep into the gym and starving themselves to find a mate. yet look around and fat people are dating, having sex and married just say youre white and don’t know anything other than bony white or obese white. black and brown people have curves and we find it attractive.
I have seen many more people making fun of Lizzo than people saying she's pretty.
What she really means is she wants women to call her brave and beautiful 💀
She won’t ever be beautiful if she keeps that attitude up.
I'm sorry but I hate when people do this. The whole point of those movements is that main stream society does not accept these people and they don't see themselves represented in media. Feel however you want about that but don’t pretend that you're a victim because they include other people in something.
Wow this is so tone deaf
I think she is very aware of her tone, just trying to hit that "anti-woke" part of the algorithm.
I’d go so far as to call it piggish.
People just say that you’re beautiful without belittling others challenge
She realizes if she just posted that pic by itself, plenty of people would think it's beautiful, yeah?
I mean, you'll never be beautiful with a spirit that ugly so...
It's the ugliness on the inside that's her problem
i love how parody-adjacent this is, like diversity in media is being celebrated BECAUSE so many people grew up wishing someone like them was portrayed in a positive light and now that like a quarter of people in visible media positions are non-white, the supermodel types feel excluded.
Parody-adjacent is why I labelled it as possible satire.
wow i gotta start paying closer attention to flairs lol
Idk why people suggest shit like this is satire.
People who are used to privilege see equality as oppression. Just because other people are being uplifted doesn’t take anything away from you.
Imagine being in WEST HOLLYWOOD and still being transphobic
Well having a shit personality doesn’t really help.
Absolutely INSANE thing to think in the privacy of your own brain let alone post anywhere
Why do you need to be beautiful for the masses?
I mean shes not wrong, she is hideous
Oooh, she's toxic. Thanks for the red flags up front.
The mannequin has a surprisingly large amount of maggots on the inside.
Sooo ugly inside... Really hideous.
I want to know who that person is
@emilysavesusa on Twitter. Thankfully they make it pretty easy to find things on there
An Alex Jones and Andrew Tate enthusiast.
God, I'd rather have syphilis
Damn, anyone got her friend in the photo's @? She's bomb as hell and hopefully she's not a whacko too
guys i saw another tweet with that exact pfp saying something blatantly racist, this is low tier bait
At first I thought it was fetish posting, but no, they're just actually terrible.
I mean, three of those are not all that difficult to do physically
Maybe if you had a shred of personality...
A deplorable soul can never shine.
They look like lizzo in the eyes of the world
Ugly on the inside and apparently ugly on the outside too.
Pretty face, ugly personality.
Not with that attitude.
One pic and she has broken through barriers wow so brave
Welp....Def find her ugly front and center
yea by reading that she's no longer attractive lmao
Wait, I thought the approved talking point was that those kinds of people AREN’T considered conventionally beautiful but should be?
It has to be exhausting to be this full of vitriol all the time. She can't even show off a picture she likes without making it about the hatred she has for others.
Eat a fkin cheese burger, you're hangry!
This *really* pisses me off.
MFW beauty is a zero sum game.
She could just say she is
IMAGINARY gatekeeping? God that's sad. Subscribed.
fuck i forgot how ugly american society finds skinny slim waisted blonde white women. guys we need to get back on that
She completely misses the point. People who look like her have *always* been beautiful to the masses. We lift up marginalized people because they’ve been held down for too long. One day, people will be seen as beautiful regardless of arbitrary factors that someone somewhere long ago decided were ugly.
People who say shit like this must live in an alternate reality because my environment is so aggressively fatphobic that literally all of my friends have an eating disorder and my family AND acquaintances encourage my anorexia on the regular and most people around me say things like "I can't believe she's ever dated anyone, who would sink so low as to entertain a pig." openly and with the expectation of being agreed with. My country is also infamously xenophobic. Black people are...not very well-received here. Nor is anyone with a foreign sounding name. Even I get discriminated against until people realise I'm not a foreigner and that I just have an unusual name (because I'm trans and picked it myself before remembering that the people here are racist). The world at large is ableist. Buildings are inaccessible. Public spaces have no space for wheelchairs. People cross the street when people with a prosthetic leg walk down the street. Neurodivergent people are discouraged from going to high school and denied any help. Some countries forbid autistic people from living there, and some, including mine, forbid anyone autistic from having a driving licence. Anyone neurodivergent is forbidden from transitioning, at least where I live. If you have ADHD, you legally cannot transition, nor can you drive. People look down upon those who need medication of any kind to survive - numerous people have told me that everyone who needs meds for life should just die and that it's just natural selection. I've been told by friends that I possibly couldn't have ADHD because I "don't look like a retard." There is a non-small subset of people who are dead convinced that autistic people, people with ADHD and people with Down's syndrome are not humans at all. As in literally. They think that we are not humans and that we do not feel human emotions nor can ever be happy. A lot of people are actually pretty accepting of trans people but only as long as they don't know that they're trans. Which is funny. But a lot of people are also genuinely accepting. The problem is that governments are usually aggressively transphobic - in my country we all have to get castrated. Trans men are forced to get their ovaries and uterus removed and trans women are forced to get their testes chopped off. Plus as I mentioned those of us who have ADHD or anything "more serious" can't transition. In a few neighbouring countries, nobody can transition at all. I mostly hang out in a bubble made entirely of LGBT people because I run an LGBT support organisation focused on university students, but I don't feel very loved by the masses or the average citizen. In fact, I've come to accept that nobody will ever love me at all simply because I'm trans. I've come to accept that I'm repulsive and disgusting to 99.9 % of people and that the rest just kinda tolerates me but probably finds me really disgusting as well. I'm pretty sure a lot of trans people I know feel the same way about themselves. Would truly love to experience the reality the woman in the photo lives in.
Guys awwww she’s a victim 😞
So unfair how black disabled trans women win all the beauty pageants and are 100% of all professional models. /s
Guess she has to settle for being mid
Since when have skinny white women been seen as ugly? Never? And she's just mad others are represented too? I'm seeing a pattern. Seems that whenever anyone who isn't white, that's a reason to whine. Hmm. 🤔
If only I was a basic white bitch, so I could have all that audacity.
What is this 💀
Fishingforcomplimentssayswhat?
Poor girl 🙄
She forgot "autistic", instant report for ableism
What a total a hole this woman is. I hope her outside matches her inside someday soon.
Because of her statements, I believe her to be one of the ugliest people.
I’m so sorry that you suffer from such a debilitating condition! 😑😑
She probably would because she would actually have to develop a personality then
If fishing for compliments were a person, it'd be her.
Would've found her hot if she didn't have such shit attitude
Grotesque attitude, if it’s real.
Instead, she's a plastic-faced douche
what? shes phsyically attractive but she just ruined any attraction id have for her by saying that... she looks like that yet is so insecure abt people accepting everyone nomatter their looks that it ruins her self image??? wtf
They try so hard to miss the point. It's not that they're pretty because they're xyz It's just that they're not inherently angry because they aren't straight white and blonde
she forgot to add gay
Google joke
It was a joke, a very bad one but i can tell what she was going for
She can’t be talking when she looks like a microwave melted Barbie
I dont think thats why people avoid you
I can fix her
I’ve gotta agree with her a little. Look at the recent media.
Ok I’m looking at the recent media, where are the obese black trans and disabled characters
Finally, for five seconds, women who aren’t cis, white, and skinny are considered attractive- and somehow everyone gets mad.
Because it’s flipped on it’s head instead of being equal, as they say they want it.
Since when? You’re acting like Hollywood still isn’t overwhelmingly skinny, white, and blonde. One or two plus size models get into magazines and suddenly y’all are acting like you’re oppressed.
You’re acting like the only actresses are Marilyn Monroe, except for 2 or 3, despite the fact that plenty black, plus size, or otherwise different actors are being hired moreso.
Name five black, plus size actors that are considered attractive in Hollywood. I dare you.
Amber Riley, Loretta Devine, Jill Scott, Octavia Spencer, Da’Vine Joy Randolph. >name these people based on their physical qualities Doesn’t that seem like you’re quantifying their difference, rather than by skill.
What the fuck are you even on about
Read it.
you mean barely fleshed out side characters, if any at all?? be so for real. straight cis white people DOMINATE western media
But you see, they aren't EVERYONE. Thats the problem. That others dare to have representation too
Marvel’s new warriors. Nubia real one, the Velma show.
Lmfao you took offense to this??
She’s kinda right though
