Holy crap, RawScent wasn't kidding about feminists wanting gay men to fatten up. Exhibit A: Jerry Mosher's chapter in the Fat Acceptance wordvomit "Bodies Out Of Bounds." It also brings to mind the Chateau Heartiste quote that the end goal of feminism is maximizing restrictions on male sexuality. Many fat men are disappointed to find that fatphobia is even more evident in gay culture than in heterosexual culture.   I wish.  Note to Caleb Luna and everyone else reeing that attractive gay men don't want to fuck them: then eat less you dipshits.  No food tastes as good as sex with someone fuckable. A man thin by straight standards may be considered fat in gay culture, Holy fuck Grindr would have been an awesome app if it had been invented in 1996, despite the horrible code. and dieting is common among gay men when they first come out. If the author isn't exaggerating the way Jason Whitsell does, holy fuck we should have kept that tradition.  I cannot for the life of me imagine why you wouldn't want to, how you could possibly stand to let yourself look ugly unless under duress or forced by circumstances--I cannot for the life of me fathom why the gay article-writing normies who self-identify as feminine invariably have elaborate makeup--so they have punchable faces--but don't grow their hair out at least a little bit (contrast with Mema Ortega).  I didn't wear shorts in public until after I had smooth legs.  I never told anyone I was bisexual IRL until after I was on DHT-blockers, had my body hair lasered off, had my hair decent enough that customers called me "ma'am" a few times, had my eyebrows threaded, and wore tight jeans.  And I'm a lazy autist with a low Kinsey score and exclusively gynandromorphophilic taste in males.  It worked.  IRL, at least three feminine Kinsey-5+ gay men with dainty physiques and pretty hair want to fuck me (I feel sorry for gays who live in bumfuck areas where all the datable males are ugly). Contrast this with the Redditham complaint that femboys are shallow for not wanting to fuck a slovenly 50-year-old who destroyed both his body and his hairline.  Never mind that making a male body look young and pretty (like the jotas in Mema's House and Travestis al Desnudo) is harder than making a male body look handsome (like the bisexual mayates in Mema's House and Travestis al Desnudo).  Complaining that true femboys--or, for that matter, regular twinks like Sparklefuck--are horribly shallow for wanting males to ensure they aren't ugly or obese before sexually propositioning attractive crossdressers is like complaining that Robert E. Lee is shallow and demanding too much of his men by expecting Private Redneck to clean his damn musket. Mosher continues like this even when he isn't urging gays to be fatter, lazier and uglier: African-American culture has traditionally been accommodating to fat; In the 1950s, for all the things that sucked about that era, no one in America was accommodating to fat.  Few people were fat.  Fat-shaming works.   Fat Acceptance authors even remark on this: "a growing percentage of the American population identifies as overweight."  They spin the obesity epidemic as "this is why we need Fat Acceptance."  Losing weight is "hard?"  So is quitting meth, why shouldn't the United States have junkie acceptance too?  ...as Sir Mix-A-Lot's hit single "Baby Got Back" (1992) attests,  You can tell the dating of this book by the statement that "Baby Got Back" is a recent hit.  fat does not have to be a source of shame: it can be claimed and asserted as a positive sign of cultural difference.   This is factually incorrect.  The artist himself stated in an interview that he meant a body shaped "like a Coke bottle"--the 0.6-0.7 waist-to-hip ratio that correlates with optimal health, hormone levels, fertility, child IQ, and genes--not dumpy landwhales like Taco Terrorist Torres and Ragen Shitstain.  Maybe Mosher was confused by the fact that Sir Mix-A-Lot was a fatass as well who clearly needed to lay off the donuts.
