If I start talking about body shaming, I’ll go on all day. But if you don’t know what it is, chances are you’ve still been subjected to it or are actually a proponent of it. Or both.
I’m constantly seeing body shaming posts on tumblr and awesome anti-body shaming posts. People are always going to argue about it because people go through life assuming that when they see a fat or skinny person they automatically have the right to become Dr. Douchebag and let them know their own damn medical history. Oh man. Don’t get me started.
Some light seriously needs to be shed on this issue. I’m glad I’m as confident as I am in myself now, because I can see past all of this bull crap and I’m secure with myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still affected by the constant derogatory and hateful words that are thrown my way, but I would never do anything to hurt myself or anyone else around me because of it. That’s not something everyone can say. And that is a problem. Shaming someone is never okay, in any fashion. You’re not doing someone a favor by making them feel like less of a human being. You’re just being an asshole.
Obviously, I stand on one side of body shaming and body shamers stand on the opposing side. That’s life right? There are jerks and self-righteous people all over the place and we deal with them however we see fit. Anyway, on with the show, new video!
