also why are skinny ppl getting upset over the thin shaming? when they call fat people "heifers"?

not all of us do this,
but thanks for that sweeping generalization...

Be happy nobody judges you when you eat. Be happy nobody compliments you when you lose weight. Be happy that you can fit into all clothes. Just be happy.

this though

honestly, words hurt, and having your body commented on can be hurtful for anyone; fat or thin. however, the systematic ridicule that fat people are exposed to by society and norms is just dreadful. thin people will never know what it's like. society LOVES you if you're thin - you're the norm.

Thin shaming is ridiculous and embarrassing.

We all should condemn it and to think is about to be a smash hit while taking jabs at us is such a shame.

So thin shaming is ok because it fits the beauty standard while fat people shaming is up for Uproar. Aren't we humans too???

I wish I was a skinny bitch.

Are you gonna sit there and try to convince me that fat shaming and skinny shaming are the same? Most of these song lyrics calling out skinny bitches are said in jest. It's not serious. There's no real malicious intent. So someone calls you skinny, so what? When someone calls you a fat bitch though.. that's something else entirely. All of a sudden you're sloppy pig who eats nothing but junk food.

We all judge fat people, whether we admit to it or not.

This she could have easily made a song about being happy with her weight and telling others to be too but NO, she had to attack others who are happy with their body weight for a hit single.

to be fair though, you're making a biT of a false equivalency. While thin shaming exists, it's miniscule (and has no actual real-world effects) like the discrimination of heavier set people

If someone were to call me a fat bitch and say I should seriously consider dieting, I'd feel legitimately upset and self conscious. If someone were to call me a skinny bitch and give the old "you need to eat a burger, get some meat on your bones", I'd just be all "I'm so offended " "how dare you ". Both are wrong, but only one has any meaning in the real world, where every model, pop star and celebrity deemed desirable is either skinny, or slim with some curves.

(^ Im pretty average/neither fat nor skinny, so I don't get either of those for what it's worth)

I wish I was bigger. We can all wish different things because not all of us can love ourselves for the way we are.

It's not a privilege for the simple fact that in most of the cases it's earned by dedication and strict regime. Being the norm doesn't mean you should be up for jabs and attacks.

People be doing too much when it comes to that song. I am the skinniest guy in almost any room, and my level of offense is zero.

Plus this 'controversy' is getting her song buzz and taking attention away from the ROTY Shake it Off.

Pretty much this.

I agree. But since the girl is getting a hit by targeting a group it means that there is space for this thing to exist. Thin shaming exists and the Megan girl is trying to prove it., whether she is serious or not.

lmao, privilege has nothing to do with how hard you work for it. society doesn't care how you got thin, it only cares that you are thin. whether you spend 6 days of the week at the gym, you have an eating disorder, you have a kickass metabolism etc doesn't mean a thing and doesn't take away the fact that being thin comes with a privilege.

wait, where in the song is she thin shaming? (serious question)

Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your size
She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night
You know I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along

I'm bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell them skinny b**ches that

It just means that a whole lot of people feel bad about their weight. Guess why? Because we're expected to be skinny. We're all expected to be a size 2, even though some of us are perfectly healthy being a size 10.

Now imagine if the song was uplifting skinny people. It would just be in extremely bad taste. No one is trying to uplift skinny people because it's just not neccesary. It's the standard.

if a fat person "shames" me i shame them for being fat simple

[Lukey]

I'm bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that
No I'm just playing I know you think you're fat
But I'm here to tell ya
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

She's talking about people who are skinny and complain about being fat, making others who are actually overweight (in the media and general public eyes) feel worse about themselves.

I'm really skinny borderline underweight and I take no offense to this song or it's message.
But I wouldn't expect everyone to agree.

Then she's says "Nah, i'm just playing" She has nothing against skinny people.

The song is about not having to look like a Playboy model to be considered attractive. About being happy with yourself and your body.

Again attacking the standard doesn't mean is a good thing. Because maybe the standard is a good one. It's like saying I don't like capitalism and the free democracy because I don't make enough money on it. You have a point ofc ourse but standard is not made by skinny people. They are the people who fit in it. So they can be hurt to by attacking them like some putting them in a box of people who are are obnoxious etc. She is trying to stereotype.

chile what have you been drinking. if skinny people aren't the ones who created the norm, then who did? fat people? did fat people wake up one day and decide that skinny people should be the standard because it's really fun to be hated by society?

that's like saying white people aren't responsible for white people being the norm/standard.
