The #Bodypositivity Annals: Down and Blown Out

Maybe the TikTok ban will snuff out some of this activism.

Then again, they’re all over Instagram, too.

The only solution may be a massive public humiliation campaign—assuming they are capable of shame—which I am prepared to help facilitate.

Because I care.

First up, a #bodypositive Instagram influencer using the handle “PlusSizeParkHoppers” visits various amusement parks and commercial establishments with her fat friends “who range in size from 2X to 5X” to eat at their facilities and review whether they are “fat-inclusive” or not. This activist recently reviewed one such restaurant at Disneyland, complaining that most of the chairs had arms, making squeezing their flab into them difficult.

No arms on chairs to accommodate blimped-out TikTok influencers: unforgivable!

Moving on, I was recently introduced to a concept I had previously been oblivious to but which I should have definitely guessed some Social Justice™ heifer had invented: “thinsplaining.”

Thinsplaining — one of the numerous derivatives of “mansplaining.” — occurs when a non-fat deigns to express anything other than total affirmation of a fat activist’s lifestyle choices while disregarding all the copious volumes of medical literature that contradict the “healthy at any size” mantra to accommodate their ideological delusions.

A cadre of empowered fat activists explain thinsplaining to thins without any sense of irony, via Salon (emphasis added):

WalkerNPR interviewed me and did a Facebook post about it, and a lot of the comments were like that. It seems to be the reaction from a large segment of the population. I think it’s hilarious when someone leaves a comment on a review of my book saying, “But obesity is unhealthy!” Do you think I haven’t heard that rhetoric before? I wonder if this a different version of mansplaining.

Brown: Thinsplaining. It’s a thing.

It’s a thing, okay?

Lastly, do “human rights” or whatever trump the laws of physics?

“Weight discrimination” lawyers argue they do!

If you’re a Michigan Lyft driver who literally can’t jiujitsu a gigantic 489-pound rapper into your Honda Civic, that’s a you problem — one you better figure out how to solve before you get sued for a hate crime.

Via Newsweek (emphasis added):

Detroit rapper and influencer Dajua Blanding, known by her stage name Dank Demoss, is suing Lyft after a driver refused to give her a ride, citing her weight.

Attorneys for Blanding, who weighs 489 pounds, filed the lawsuit, claiming the incident, which occurred earlier this month, violated Michigan's anti-discrimination laws, which include weight as a protected characteristic…

Michigan is the only state where weight is legally protected under anti-discrimination laws.

The incident is part of a wider conversation about how much responsibility companies should bear when it comes to accommodating plus-size customers.

It feels like we’ve maybe finally turned the tide on all of this Social Justice™, DEI stuff. Over the last decade or so, fat activists, like pedophiles and others, have been trying for a long time to smuggle their own pet cause under the DEI umbrella — and increasingly aggressively so.

But these kinds of affronts to common sense and decency can only continue as long as the narrative is brutally enforced by a compliant media, academia, and government with a cultural stranglehold.

Now that we’ve entered America’s Golden Age, have we rounded the bend?
