This is Animal Privilege
I’m excited for the hatemail I imagine I will someday receive so I can reply in a very snarky fashion
TW: bullying
I’ve noticed many times fat people are portrayed as bullies. There rarely is any insight given to why they are bullies, such as that they have been made fun of for being fat, and that making fun of people for being fat is wrong. The message simply is that fat people are mean. This is a common trope in cartoons, so children are the ones to hear this message the most.
I dunno, you all act like bullies quite a bit, so I don’t think you’re helping the stereotype.
This wasn’t the patriarchy, it was animals oppressing a poor young human. We must protest against ants and their oppressive nature.
kiiwishes asked: Question! Since I am a fox (to an extent mentally) Does that mean I get animal privilege? Or do I have to physically be an animal? Cause if not, then I'm clearly the most awesome because everyone loves animals.
You get some privilege since you are mentally a fox and can therefore communicate with other foxes or even other animals. You could possibly even live in the forest. As long as you appear human, you’re still going to face quite a bit of oppression and lack of privilege. I respect your transspeciesism, just make sure you don’t animalsplain.
thisisprivilegeprivilege asked: I hate animal privilege. I already get oppressed by everyone on the planet, why does my cat have to oppress me too? He makes me scoop up his poopie. I'm so oppressed...
Greetings, Mr. Burns. I understand precisely the dilemma you are going through and I sympathize. You are the least privileged in the entire planet and your cat should have no business oppressing you like that. This is why we all must band together to fight homo sapiens stigma.
Here’s a consolation present:
Thank you This is Thin Privilege for making a nice list of blogs that troll TiTP, otherwise known to me as “blogs I am going to check out and likely follow.”
Animal privilege is not just getting the summer off. It’s getting EVERY DAY off. The majority of animals don’t have to go to school, like, at all. They need to check their privilege!
Thin privilege is not thinking twice about job postings that list ‘physically fit’ or ‘in good shape’. When you’re fat you know it’s code for ‘no fat people’.
It’s actually code for ” we don’t want lazy fucks to work with us…
Nice stupidsplain. Thanks for telling us skinny skinnies what you think is going on. Because you obviously have no idea what it’s like to deal with jobs that require heavy lifting, running, or lots of walking in a place of employment. Nah. You’ve never encountered logic before ever.
Also, guess what? It’s not actually size discrimination! Oooo, those so-called sizist employers are sure shaking in their boots! And even when forms of discrimination are illegal, people in those groups are still discriminated against all the fucking time, but there’s a difference between “discrimination” and uh, you weren’t right for the job, okey?
And? Some fat people are just as capable of doing physically demanding jobs as many thin people. Some, but likely a lot, aren’t. Just like some thin people aren’t. This is called, WELL DUH. You’re not special, titpee.
If fit people is what the job is asking for, then fit people is what it requires. It’s not a “thinsplain,” it’s “common sense.” Wouldn’t expect any of you to know what that is, though…
Oh, and by connecting “job requires fit” to “fat oppression discriminination!!1!,” you’re basically admitting the majority of fat people aren’t fit. Lol. ;)
