Goddamn, I detest hypocrisy.
In a thread on a FA/SA forum, one person commented that skinny girls have lower self esteem, which is why they are the ones who feel the need to flash themselves on camera for girlie videos, and that fat girls have too much pride and self-confidence to do that.
Really? And here I thought I'd never do that on camera, because I would rather not get laughed at by the general public because of my size... not to mention no cameraman would ASK me to flash for the camera, for the same reason.
When pointed out that a similarly arrogant statement about fat girls would be considered unacceptable and another form of fat-hatred, and the original statement should NOT be something condoned by FA/SA activists, at least two more people jumped to the defense, one of them insisting that the rest of us need to "RELAX." The best part about this is that the moderator, who is more than happy to jump in and kill a thread when it's hinted that weight loss isn't a BAD thing, has yet to say a thing about this.
Christ. Is it too much to expect some people to be reasonable?
