still pissing people off after all these years

man muffin top

I spent part of today reading this message board about how mean I am and how I hate fat people and I am insecure and cruel and had bad parents and need therapy. It’s becoming so common that it’s not even very amusing anymore.

I’m just going to remind everyone that:

I DON’T ACTUALLY GET UPSET ABOUT PEOPLE’S CLOTHES. It doesn’t even bother me for 2 seconds. I just find it amusing. I’m not saying we should all dress according to trends or what appears in the media, I’m not saying we SHOULD do anything. I’m just exposing it and expressing my opinion. It cracks me up to no end that people think because I have an opinion I believe the whole world should conform to what I want. Actually, it just means I have an opinion.

I DO NOT SPEND MY LIFE DOING THIS. In fact I don’t even seek it out. It is simply THERE and I’m documenting it.

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DRESS ACCORDING TO MY IMAGINED STANDARDS. This is boring and I would have nothing to take photos of. So what if you show up in an outfit I think is ugly. Does this have any effect on you whatsoever? Also I don’t have any standards, since I just wear jeans and a t-shirt and sneakers all day and buy clothes only because they’re soft and they fit and not because they look good. Usually I am NOT the person creating the tags here, so enough with that.

People on a FASHION blog are attacking me for criticizing bad fashion choices and saying stuff like “I would NEVER judge a person for what they are wearing.” Think about it.

I ACTUALLY DO FEEL SAD when I see overweight kids with overweight parents stuffing their faces with candy and soda. I know and understand the long-term complications and it depresses me a great deal because these people don’t seem to understand the damage they’re doing. I also use humor (a mature defense mechanism according to Freud) to present this.

SURE, COME ON OVER to my apartment and take photos of me in unflattering poses with my 7 chins and do what you want with them. This doesn’t change who I am in any way, shape or form, no matter what people say about the photos. Because they are looking at an image, not a person.

  1. I said it on your stream and I’ll say it here:

    You know that we, as a society, are supposed to make sure problems and issues solve themselves by ignoring them and pretending that they don’t exist. The world is supposed to be a happy, sunny place and how dare we look at the way the world around us really is.

    Besides, how many of pictures have you done, Mal, that have some kind of a news article or awareness page link on it? About the dangers of excess weight or the dangers of smoking?

    Mean my ass. Tell these do-gooders to go after the websites and people on the Net that are really nasty, like the Nazis (the real ones, not the LA transit ones) and the KKK and the sites of people that like to share sexually explicit pictures of their naked kids around with friends. You want to talk about people who are mean? THAT’S mean.

  3. What I love about her little rant is that she would not put your link up but she did put it up for a little copy and paste. If she really did not want to draw attention to you she should have just kept her fat mouth shut. Hell, if you go through the effort of typing something out go all the way. I just think she might have been one big mac short of getting up the energy to put in the hyper link for a direct ride over here.
