celeb news Taylor Swift removes 'fatphobic' scene from music video; fat activists rejoice

[gloamingtheplain]

It’s funny cos the video still has the exact same effect even without the scene. In fact it’s even less cheesy.

These people aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. They completely missed the point.

This is what they call themselves, btw. 

[Holiest Dreams]

The way everyone in the real world is laughing at them in this situation 

 

The rise of chronically online people/discourse is only getting worse.

[qurl]

if this is what gives them a lil bit of joy in their sad fat lives let them have it i guess

I hope I don't get another warning and post limitation, but there is a certain subset of mostly white, mostly women on twitter that happen to be considered not conventionally beautiful by society standards (in this case - f a t), and need to feel like they are a minority, so they serve victimization regarding every little thing while putting on the hat of an activist to add some morality to their stances as well

[Superbitch]

Lmao corny  

 

people do too much

The fatties won y’all

You’re telling me this isn’t satire…?  

 

I don’t care either way about this change (and I’m fat af), but the irony of bullying her into removing the word and then using it themselves as if they are reclaiming ownership of it (see f*g, n*****) is just too much 

[Totami Legend]

They don’t understand how storytelling works 

 

Why not using that energy to lose the fat ass

The only thing they caused is that people bully them (more). They have achieved the opposite effect.

this reminds of people freaking out about the viral video of the Asian guy asking to hug the Koreaboo girl and then he rejected her when he felt that she was fat  

[CottageHore]

It’s so hilarious to me when people fall for the “awww she learned and she’s growing! She did the right thing!” as if she didn’t just cut this scene to prevent getting cancelled and then moved on and hasn’t thought about this since like y’all get so mad for the weirdest **** and then receive most insincere pandering and think you’re revolutionizing the world and forcing people to grow

Fat folks got y'all so bothered

[By the Water]

Didn't one of those people call fat people a "marginalized group"? 

[LustSpell]

These fat people trying to equate being called fat to slurs such as f*g or the n-word are absolutely appalling and need to be put into their place

[Gladiator]

Congrats! Hope they're dancing. Burns calories.

taylor played them for fools. she removed the word fat to shut them up (while refusing to actually acknowledge their issue or give them the attention they clearly crave) and now they have no choice but to stan her lol

If you think about it, its more offensive now. because the "fat" on the scale was clearly ridiculous and her being hard on herself, since she is in fact, not fat

 

now, she's just judging her current weight 

[Windy Day]

terminally online and fat

I mean it was messy that that guy pressed the button after hugging each girl to see if she’s fat or not (have some tact ffs) but ppl on twitter we’re putting that on equal footing as being a race fetishiser

How can they be marginalized when they're quite literally the majority
