The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about β€œinfighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

WSJ sucks but any outlet aggregating their news should have been way more skeptical than they were about taking that thin as hell β€œtip” and running with it

Fellow fats: how are you holding up in the current climate around body size/fatness/thinness?

(As always, please remember that your answers will be read by people who are fatter than you; by people with eating disorders; and by people with diabetes, heart disease & limited mobility.)

She was never apolitical, she just took aim at fat people, which people thought was acceptable and therefore they misinterpreted her as apolitical.

All of the lessons that The Biggest Loser taughtβ€”from disordered eating to ruthless self talkβ€”all of that came because we culturally thought it was beneficial & entertaining to abuse fat people. Anti-fat bigotry was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. It was a feature, not a bug.

I don’t post about it often anymore because it’s boring, but it does happen pretty reliably. I appear on camera and then get a few days’ worth of comments, mostly about my appearance and life expectancy.

I don’t generally put much stock in it, but it’s still a stressful experience.

I appeared on camera, which means I am receiving some of the most heinous messages and comments I’ve gotten in ages 🫠

Part of unpacking the damage the show did to viewers is actually unpacking how it damaged your view of very fat people, and how it urged all viewers (including you & me!) to dehumanize very fat people. It also includes unpacking what was appealing about seeing fat people abused and humiliated.

Seeing a lot of good, grounded reflection on how The Biggest Loser shaped the way viewers thought about themselves. Which is important to unpack!

But I’ve seen little/no unpacking of how TBL shaped how we see & treat people who are fatter than us.
