Shorter Naomi Seligman: “Fashion magazines, designers, and talk show hosts are too supportive of fat people, and should do more to make fat people feel like crap.”
More goodness in her post: A funny fat pun in the post title. Because that hasn’t been done a zillion times before. I bet that if she wrote a post about comics, it would be called “pow! Zing! Comics!” or something like that.
And the idea that people who are fat-positive are making money off fat people. It’s true, in the sense that anyone who appears on TV or in a magazine, and is paid for it, is making money. But the money to be made telling fat people that they suck is exponentially larger.
To be fair, fat people need to be reminded by the media, otherwise they’d go through life believing themselves to be thin and happy. Thank god for people like Naomi Seligman to remind fat people that they are overweight and society is not cool with that. You’re welcome!
Wait — you mean that I’m fat? Why, I didn’t know! Why didn’t anyone ever tell me before? if only I’d known, I would have totally changed my lifestyle, but nobody ever told me.
