This is similar to the well-intentioned but messy conversations around "Moana" and whether or not it's "revolutionary" to depict a Disney princess who doesn't need/want a love interest. You can't divorce race from these conversations.

I hope I can handle it as well as you just did when I need to stand up and call fellow white people out on things rooted in racism. I know it's important work to try to do as allies.
-
for me it's like . . . you need to just let it be okay that you're uncomfortable, and lean into that instead of away. not everyone who says something harsh to you is a "hater" who should be blocked. sometimes there's important info in that callout we have to let ourselves hear.

You have amazing amounts of ill-conceived psychobabble to spout about people whose defining characteristic is that they can’t stop eating. Being fat is not something to be celebrated, it is something to be completely ashamed of, this plus-size fad will pass.
-
You just said it all in a nutshell, and I notice nobody said a word yet. That's the truth no black or white defining moment in any of it. Just plus size, and really don't need to be proud of it. Craziest crap I ever read.

Hmmm I think you’re more upset that Rebel has not responded than the subject matter, imo
-
a) she did respond, I'm upset that she only responded to a white woman and apparently continues to block women of color who said all this same stuff to her first b) NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION, BYE!
