| scar the 1 05/19/21 5:35:52 AM #101 | I figured that my jab at gamergaters would be understood as a rhetorical question, not a serious call for gamers to rise up. I thought it was mildly relevant because now there's a very blatant issue with ethics in game journalism that doesn't really seem to upset gamers nearly to the same degree. Back then we saw coordinated email campaigns aimed at advertisers among other things. It was certainly not meant to start a discussion on the merits of gamergate, that topic is pretty dead. Nor am I expecting any gamergate supporter to do shit about it. That.. was my point. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |
| Topic | Apparently, complimenting Adele's weight loss is toxic |
| scar the 1 05/18/21 9:45:47 AM #73 | pinky0926 posted... Yes, but if someone loses a lot of weight I think it's pretty bad if people's first reactions are to put her down for that.I think in general there aren't a lot of situations where people should be put down for what they do with their bodies. But putting her down isn't the only option besides complimenting her. I can definitely see the argument that complimenting such a plummeting weight loss in public discussion can be harmful. Especially since Adele was pretty.. close to average before. Yeah she wasn't thin, but she wasn't far to the side of the bell curve. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |

| scar the 1 05/18/21 9:01:07 AM #62 | pinky0926 posted... It's bizarre how "body positivity" disappears from the discussion when it's someone transforming from out of shape to in shape. Body positivity is just for fatties, I guess?I think you know and understand the difference. I won't bother with the article but there's definitely a stark difference between fighting destructive beauty norms and applauding huge weight losses. I imagined you'd be well aware how widespread behaviors that border on eating disorders are, especially among women. Fat people are still considered by many (just take a look at this website) as legitimate punching bags, as deserving of whatever bullying and bad thing comes their way. With that context in mind it shouldn't be difficult to understand why body positivity is more about "fat bodies matter" than "all bodies matter". --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |
