So I had recently watched a video from a YouTuber named “Daisha Unique” and this woman, a plus size woman talked about her personal frustrations with fat acceptance and mukbangs (or whatever it’s spelled).

Now I didn’t watched the whole thing because I already know most of the things that was discussed and I couldn’t really stomach it after everything that I have been through having my algorithms sting me with stuff like this. But either way it had me thinking about this thread and tracked it down again.

Now I did posted a big comment about everything I thought about it in one of the earlier comments. After briefly watching it and reading the comments, it seems like how so many people have turned on against FA/BP is because some people have broken away from the “lies and delusions” and decided to be more healthier. Especially from what I have seen in the comments section. I had to post a comment for everything that I had to say, a big one with a hint of nuance. 😅

Now there is nothing wrong with losing weight if that’s what someone wants to do. It’s like I have mentioned that there’s a fine line between doing so for looking after one’s wellbeing versus pursuing beauty standards.

I’ll always do my best as an ally with the plus size space. Still though, it sucks as someone who has a preference for liking bigger women to be stung like this again. But I guess that’s what happens when you care too much about a community that you care about. Perhaps it’s just a reality I have to live with and finding that nuance and keep on racing.

I think my man Theodore told me about this video. Funny how she criticized her own kind that motivated herself to stop procrastinating and start hitting the gym! 🤣

But in all seriousness the way how people go about to try and fry up themselves for fame is kinda delusional. Though speaking of delusion I can tell from your concern about the comments from that video. Still hopefully you’re doing better now. We gotta stick together. 👊

Did you even pay attention to the video?

Whether or not you like what she has to say is beside the point. How can you criticize her video when it is clear that you either did not watch it or do not understand it?

Munchies:
This is a video essay, made by a fat black woman, is not about hating on fat people. She makes it very clear that she doesn't hate how she looks, she thinks you can be beautiful at any size, and that fat people are valid.

The video is ACTUALLY about the dangers of sacrificing your health for money and fame. She even spends an entire chapter talking about how the body positivity movement has been perverted into something else.

She also gives the same energy to the other side of the spectrum. She talks about people who glorify thinness as if it's the pinnacle of beautify and health only to end up knocking on death's door. This video has a lot of nuance to it that you are glossing over.

Based off of what she said the into and what she wrote in the description not to mention all of the comments is enough for me to conclude that! It’s funny really, but reality it’s the impression that a truthful person acts.

Nicely said! You sound like a true essayist. 🤗

Ditzy:
I think people share too much about themselves and their fetishes online.
Doing videos because they desire attention or validation.
I never felt I needed validation from strangers to do anything in my life.
I think perhaps the BP movement has a subset of people that push too hard to make us all look like weirdos.
Social media is not always a good place to aire your laundry.

I do support the BP movement and learning how to love yourself no matter how large or small you are.
