Tonight has been full of rants. Eating a bowl of ice cream I scrolled through Tumblr.com and came across a post full of hate referring to Meghan Trainors new song "All about that bass" and I decided to read a few. The more that I read the angrier I got with peoples stupidity. Simply put the song is about a girl with a big butt and lots of curves. Her video is also full of larger women dancing and in one point of the song Meghan references that she doesn't want to be a "skinny b*tch" and tells all the young women who are worried about their figure that they are beautiful.
For the majority of my life I have been teased for being over weight, and it effected me for a long time. At one point or another during my teenage years I thought that if I didn't eat that it would make things better. I ate 300 calories a day, and I nearly ended up sick from the lack of proteins and nutrients my body needed to function correctly. So needless to say I realized how fucked up it was to try and starve myself rather than take care of myself. Still to this day I'm not smaller than a sized 12, but I'm okay with that. There is always room for improvement and I want to be positive about the way I see myself, even when others can't.
So anyway, in one of the comments a young girl was angered from the lyrics of this new song, stating that she was one of the "skinny b*tches" that was talked about in the song and DEMANDED a personal apology from the artist in the comments section OR ELSE she was going to start calling all the obese girls at her SCHOOL "Fat b*itches" BECAUSE Meghan Trainor called HER a "skinny b*tch". Wow, sounds fair, right? No! I was out raged that some pea-brained human so low on self esteem had to take it out on other girls just because she felt threatened from a few lyrics in a song. If it would have been the opposite, where Meghan Trainor was bullying obese girls rather than glorifying them, the out raged "skinny bitch" would have commented on how much she LOVED the song. A little further in the comments section was a boys two cents on his thoughts of it all (shocking) in which he stated, "curves are sexy, and fat is just disgusting". So what you're saying is...body fat in general (which curves are made up of....) is gross. So what you're saying is..you are made up of 100% muscle and bone...other wise you are a hypocritical mother fucker who needs to reconsider life itself immediately.
I don't know you guys, it just really pisses me off how people who are praised all their lives for their slim figures and who don't have to worry about not fitting in to their favorite new pair of jeans in the fitting room. They don't have to worry about walking around school waiting for the next insult, being hunted down like prey in an open meadow always having to watch your back. They just need to realize that sometimes it's not all about them, and that there are people out there who can eat more than 3000 calories in one day and be okay with it. There are people out there who are obese and don't feel bad for eating ice cream in public. There are people who feel beautiful in their bodies and who don't give a fuck what you think, and you know what neither do I. So you're opinion is not needed when it comes to anything except your own body, clothes, hair, and style. Just stay true to yourself and don't be a shallow ass hole, it isn't needed. Really it isn't.
And there are a shit ton of other things that I would really like to rant about but it isn't so much an "over all" situation as it is just a situation that hits more to home. Things that are really messed up and just a lot of stupid know-it-all's who don't have shit figured out but think that nothing can hurt them. It really causes me a lot of pain to see so much stupidity and lack of caution from these people that I care a lot about. I really just want to punch them in the face, but that won't help anything. SO...
Rant over.
