I don't want sympathy, I just want to call people wankers and take valium in the bath and eat crisps

This is going under a cut because it is a grumpy inarticulate mess primarily derived from being too fucking hot all day at work and forgetting to take decongestants.

Yeah he did rather miss a trick there, and TBH the main problem I had with his original post was STOP TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THEIR BODIES. What is the worst possible thing you can say to someone who has issues with the skin they're in? TELL THEM THAT HATING THEMSELVES IS RUINING THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Yeah that'll DEFINITELY make it easier for them to deal with dysmorphia, dysphoria, misery, and self-hatred. What a fuckwit. (Also really, "don't tell me to stuff it up my cunt as I am not a woman"? So it would be okay to say that to a woman? Good show. Double standard! Keep on trucking, Charles).

Not that you play by *my* rules, but I know it and don't expect otherwise and don't scold you for your word choices. I know you know what they mean, after all.

Yeah, everyone has their own idiom. I've been thinking about this a lot recently due to the magical inability of internet bods to grasp things like "hyperbole", "sarcasm", "litotes", and "anything other than Srs Bznz". Which is hard for Old Guard Brits where you have to ( ... )

Oh, it's probably a good few pages back now but it was something along the lines of "people mustn't talk about hating their bodies because it makes other people hate their bodies and you* are A BAD EXAMPLE!!11!!11!!1111@

* general rather than specific.

And also posted that spectacular thing from the Fat Nutritionist, which, were this tumblr, I would reblog the fuck out of.

Yeah it's not the first time he's done it, either. I recognise the username.

I'm with you there, she is an exemplar of the "no, actually, you are allowed to do what makes you feel good" school of philosophy I'm trying to inflict on the world. ;)

Admittedly, my crazy makes me very hard on myself and goes looking for any unreasonable standard it can find.

Like, for example, it's not enough to eat well, you must also eat MORALLY? To support the welfare of others to the detriment of your own?
