Fat discrimination does indeed exist, though rare. Discrimination against pretty much anything does.
Thin privilege, however, does not exist and you'd be insane to think it does. Especially since more often than not, if one is fat, it's their fault. Again, not always but usually. Losing weight isn't easy but if you try it can be done.
That tumblr itself is awful as well. They hate it when people decide to lose weight or even if someone who isn't overweight/obese decides to talk on there. Pretty much everything else is just utter stupidity.
It's sad when there are actually intelligent submissions but are submitted there.
Either way, don't associate with that tumblr. It's terrible and pretty much everyone who supports it is as well.
I feel like you MUST be a troll
surely no one can that ignorant to the world around them ??
you do realise that fat people can LEGALLY be rejected for organ transplants, surgeries, visa and residency applications, adoption etc.
based SOLELY on their weight
and that not only does this happen but the general public supports it in the name of 'health'
how is that not discrimination ?
and you state that people being fat is 'their fault' and they can just change it if they dont like how theyre treated
is that then the grounds for whether discrimination is acceptable or not ?
choice ?
so anything that is someones choice can be the basis for discrimination ?
so i guess when children are bullied for the alternative clothes they wear or the music they listen to thats perfectly okay because hellooo they can just change it right
oh and i guess if a thin person IS discriminated against purely because of their size then thats also okay because they could just gain weight right ?
the answer is no
your logic is flawed
