CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:I thought that subreddit got banned and sent to voat for being awful? fatpeoplehate got banned because it was just a bunch of people advocating genocide for fat people. Fat people stories, by contrast, is SUPPOSED to be a supportive kind of environment for people to encourage each other to lose weight via both shame and commiseration. It's not a bad idea. I stopped by there a few months back (I'm about to post the story that made me think of this thread), and found some motivation to keep going on my weight loss. Lost another 15lb after I did so. There are some decent posts on there - formerly-fat people, or working-on-it-fat people who post about the mental shift they've made to stop blaming factors they can't control, and start controlling the factors they can. That's the so-called "fat logic" they sneer at. Fat logic is stuff like "I can eat an extra hamburger because I had a diet coke" or "Skipping a meal is worse for me than eating this bucket of KFC" or "I can be healthy at any size". In other words, it's wrong. But like any reddit "community", it's also a giant circlejerk of twee as gently caress posting style for reddit karma. Every story on there reads as STDFuckingEVERH, and there are thousands of them. I'm about to post the story set that made me think of you, dear thread!! ~twirls cutely~ SQUEEEE!!! ^_^ fuk this one is really bad Thursday Next has a new favorite as of 16:55 on Oct 23, 2017 |

Oh, here we go! I am so sorry, folks. quote:The Meeting Hahahahaha! What a clever spelling of the word "more"! Five golden manbabies to you, m'curvy goonette! Not a single god damned word - not one word of this story happened in any way approaching reality. How loving empty does your life have to be that you fantasize about defending your boyfriend's honor with flapjacks? And I love the little throwaway bit about how these flapjacks are healthy (because almond flour?), so you can eat as much as you like. That's... that's "fat logic". That's textbook fat logic; the idea that something is "healthy", so you can gorge yourself on it. The whole sub is designed around mocking that attitude, supposedly. These paragons of health never give in to fat logic themselves, they exist to seek it out and drag it into the light wherever it crouches. Fat people are fat because of fat logic. And yet, our intrepid heroine is herself espousing the very thing the subreddit claims to hate. Does she get called on it? rebelmanatee posted:Those flapjacks sound delicious. Please don't wait too long before posting another story. Erling2017 posted:And the recipe! who loving cares posted:Moar, but now I would also like recipe for that flapjacks. gently caress posted:I havent even read the rest of the story, but I immediately scrolled down to see of the recipe was posted in the comment.

I hate it when people say some vaguely described thing on the internet sounds "delicious" and demands a recipe, knowing full well they have no intention of ever making it. They are clearly just fishing for replies/upvotes/whatever. also I thought flapjacks are pancakes until now

Does flapjack mean something different to her? Around here, it's another word for a pancake, and those aren't things you make early and leave sitting around in a tin. ETA: It's a type of oat bar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapjack_(oat_bar)

I'm not sure what the greater idea behind this post is. Trying to split the feminist movement into smaller pieces and stir conflict between them and the trans community?

Problem is, what a lot of (older) people think of as "prominent feminists", like Janice Raymond, Sheila Jeffreys, and Germaine Greer, are all TERFs so they have more media exposure than their views deserve.

Basically. A lot of feminists known by name as loud angry feminist types are TERFs because, heck, that's what was in vogue at the time. Some people use TWEF instead for trans women exclusionary feminist, because 1) not all radical feminists are TERFs and not all "TERFs" are radical feminists and 2) they kind of "accept" trans men. In kind of the same way Rapture fundies "accept" Jewish people, in that they need them to be around being Jewish to fulfill their prophecy, but wouldn't it be nice if they could be good Christians, what a shame we don't live in an ideal world like that Similarly some TERFs accept the existence of trans men because they see it as getting women into men's places and roles and, basically, they don't see trans men as men. But a lot of trans men have faced rejection and ostracism from friends and family so the "acceptance" of a TERF may be just enough to get by

So much hate, normally stdh is just like "I have a shotty job and a shotty life so here's me being interesting and popular." But these anti fat ones are "That person was fat and the devil and I hate them and they should die, listen to my anti fat propaganda as I ascend into the glorious thin ubermenschen."

She told him that trans men were "traitors abandoning their fellow women to get male privilege", which I guess fits with some of what you said, but "accepting" is not the term I'd use. In my experience, most TERFs don't believe in any way that being transgender is a legit thing, but something that people just do for whatever nefarious or disturbed reasons which should definitely not be encouraged.
