You know I've seen many differing opinions on fatphobia and held many different opinions on it in my own life and I don't even think we need to call it "internalized fatphobia" The reason some fat people are okay with it is it just differs wildly how hard it hits you

Like one thing I will say is that as hellish as being the fat kid or the fat dude can be, you really really cannot argue that it's not generally way worse for fat women and fat women have way more reason to be sensitive over it

And I definitely know that there are times in my life when I got way less "sensitive" about it because I was in a place where -- as "un-PC" as it may have been in other ways -- being fat was normal and people didn't care that much

And, like, it's kind of one of those obnoxious failures of empathy to be like "Oh, hey, I've grown up and learned to accept it" like it's all down to your personal strength and not that you're happier now because you aren't actively having people shit on you as much anymore

And to act like the people who do care more than you are just "more sensitive" like it's a feature of their personality and not like they're actively being harmed more than you all the time
