"Real wo/men have meat on their bones!!" Greetings my fellow shitizens, and welcome to another moment of disbelief and disgust at the hands of fatlogic. Over and over again us shitlords and shitladies hear hams of all genders (if they still have them, that is) denouncing us as men and women by comparing us to them for some ungodly reason. Their explanation? Real men have some meat on their bones! Real women have cuuuurves! Aside it being absolute bullshit, the ridiculousness of it all s that we are very real men and women, standing directly in front of them, existing in reality. The meat on our mens' bones is actual meat, i.e. muscle. The curves on our women actually go in AND out, not just out piled on top of out until the "curve" develops an uncanny resemblance to a Jamaican tangelo.  So it begs the question, are they so far gone from reality that they literally believe we do not exist? Is it a self-confidence ploy? Delusion? Denial? Likely all of the above, but where exactly does it stem from? Here's my guess: we always see little PSAs in our media about how models on magazines are airbrushed, photoshopped, slimmed down and toned up artificially. And this is true, models are meant to be the exaggerated ideal, not the reality. You see Dodge pickups driving over mountains in their commercials but you're likely driving it on a paved road if you buy it. The point isn't to say the truck WILL do this it is to say the truck can INSPIRE you to do this. Models are the same, be it some exquisitely toned Calvin Klein boxer model or a soccer mom MILF on a diet mag cover. But just like a sentient rusty bicycle would be transport-shamed by the Dodge, gravygolems feel ashamed and attacked by images of models. They feel SO MUCH BETTER when they find out that the model doesn't actually look like that and has been reshaped on a screen. They feel so safe and happy and justified by pointing that out; "She may look perfect, but she's just a picture. I am real. I exist. This validates me. My realness transcends beauty." But they become so conditioned to default to "Skinny/fit/attractive human? Not real, I am real, I am better than a picture," that when an actual skinny, fit and/or attractive human stands in front of them, they default to "You're not real, I am real, I am better!" That denial is the only tool they have against airbrushed models so they are completely blindsided by the existence of real, beautiful people. They have no artillery against us. Telling us that we are not real men or women because we don't have cuuurves is like a caveman throwing rocks at a Boeing AH-64 Apache. It's the only weapon they know, and it is so ridiculous it is laughable. Their go-to weapon is useless. So here's to all the real shitizens with actual meat on their bones, not adipose tissue bountiful enough to grease every piece of machinery in the lower 48. Edit: formatting
