I remember the story with the black breast-feeding mom, too. Wow. Just… wow.
s/o to girls who love video games but are really bad at them, s/o to girls who are really good at video games but never get the recognition deserved, s/o to girls of color who are extra alienated for liking games because nerdy things are reserved for white girls, s/o to girls who only enjoy artsy games that arent considered “real” games, s/o to girls
s/o to girls of color who are extra alienated for liking games because nerdy things are reserved for white girls
Real talk, one day, back when I worked at GameStop, two black guys came in and I did the normal, “Hi can I help you?” They were like, “No, probably not.” So I asked what they wanted again and they asked about fighting games, which is a genre I love, so I started talking about it. This was the response:
Guys: Damn, I didn’t think a girl like you was into this stuff
Nevermind the fact that I was working at a video game store -_- It took me a moment to realize that it wasn’t because I was a girl, but a black girl, that I thought I didn’t game. Because clearly black women aren’t into video games and geeky things. And I feel like, as much crap as I’ve gotten in my GameStop days, this one was like… uber personal :(

The worst thing ever would be when someone would ask be about a game I didn’t play, it would be like, “Ah, of course you don’t know,” and just… no I don’t play (this game) but if you stop making assumptions you’d fine out I play (all of these other games).

tv: all fat people are clumsy, eat all the time and have poor self control. sometimes they are funny, but they never have a lot of friends and nobody could ever be attracted to them in any way. All beautiful people are thin.
magazines: celebrities share their weight loss tips! here's how to get a beach body! why has this celebrity let themself go so much and gained weight?
society : thin people are beautiful! Thin equals fit and healthy! Fat people are lazy, sloppy, gluttonous, and disgusting! They should take better care of themselves, they're a burden to society!
thin people: well we're just concerned for your health!
1 song: fuck those skinny bitches
thin people: UMMM EXCUSE ME THAT'S THIN SHAMING!!! WE DESERVE BODY POSITIVITY TOO!
***
My (Brichibi's) Words: See, at the end of the day, body shaming is wrong, period, but there is a difference between fat shaming and skinny shaming. Skinny shaming does exist, of course it does, but fat shaming is so prevalent in our society that it's not even considered "shaming," it's considered a norm. It's normal to portray fat people in a negative light and normal to assume that they're lazy, good for nothing, ugly, unloved creatures who can only find happiness by being thin. As a fat person, being thin is a goal to achieve, it's what you should be trying to do with your life. No matter what you've achieved, it means nothing if you're not trying to be thin, which is ironic considering the judgement fat people get when they do try to lose weight (being told how to lose weight, that they're not losing it fast enough, that no one wants to see that at the gym or jogging outside, ect.) As a fat person, its assumed that you just don't give a shit about yourself, because you're not thin. As a fat person, it's assumed that you can't do anything until you are thin. Once you're thin, you can achieve anything, even basic things like getting off the couch, wearing cute clothes, and going outside (example: weight loss commercials where someone is fat and incapable of being active with their children, wearing something other than baggy clothes, or getting their hair done until they discover Slim Fast/Jenny Craig/Magical Pill X).
This is why terms like "skinny bitches" exist. Because you can only be told that thin is the way to be for so long before you get fed up and say "fuck you." It's more so a declaration against society's ideals of what beautiful is, because society can't even decide what that is, because now there's a such thing as "too thin" and there's a such thing as "photoshop" where even thin people are shopped to be thinner. Even so, there's a difference between "too thin" and "fat," because fat is never seen as something to aspire to be, its seen as a disease, as something to get rid of, as something that holds you back from accomplishing anything even if you accomplish everything. I have a college degree and am a published author but you bet your ass that people are more concerned about what I'm eating versus the things I've achieved in my life.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE.
I read something once that explained why Gaston was such a terrifying villain. His whole demeanor is, “Hey you, you’re lucky I’m talking to you, I know you want to marry me and have my babies. Put those books away and stop using that brain of yours, none of that matters, those things are strange for a woman to have.” And the entire village pretty much loves him and feels like Belle is so strange to not be into this guy.
Meanwhile Beast is seen as a monster, right? So monstrous he is, wanting to listen to what Belle has to say.
Gaston is probably one of the most relevant and timeless villains Disney has.
OMG YES!!!!!
Good!!!
