My feed seems to like showing me Guizhou food.

Yeah, xhs does have some problems when it comes to casual bigotry and unchallenged reactionary biases. I actually hope that the leftist stuff on American social media like being against casual colorism and fatphobia bleeds over.

Edit: removed “cultural left” and the quotes because that implies that the issues of fatphobia and colorism don’t materially harm people, which they do on a daily basis. I shouldn’t have trivialized the issues like that.

Edit 2: I don’t want to imply that Chinese social media is uniquely bad about any of those issues, transphobia/colorism/fatphobia are rampant on Western social media and also I tend to find that Chinese social media is a lot… nicer? Like people generally won’t go onto a post just to post something transphobic like they might on Instagram, and you don’t have open fascists running around propagandizing.

not all fat people live the same lifestyle, as i’m sure you’re aware. many fat people live incredibly fit and active lifestyles and are still fat. and even if a fat person lives an “unhealthy” lifestyle, so what? the premise i’m operating on here that fat people should not have to lose weight in order to be treated with respect.

i think you should really do some introspection on why you think fat people should be obligated to diet forever or else they’re “relapsing”

please read through some of the links i’ve provided in this thread and do some self-crit. any analysis of health outcomes for fat people that doesn’t factor in medical fatphobia (doctors literally KILL fat people) is a fat phobic and unsound analysis

I weigh less than you and I never exercise. Even before I developed a chronic illness that literally gets more severe if I exercise, I didn't exercise. I'm so sorry you're dealing with medical fatphobia comrade, that's never okay. The studies on medical fatphobia are increasing, I just skimmed through this one. I'm also interested in reading The Fat Studies Reader at some point. Hopefully things will change for the better but the state of it all is really disheartening and I hate that you're dealing with this right now.

Hope you're safe, comrade

Uncritical support to annoying vegans.

lol dw, that post annoyed me a lot. the op is still trying to debatelord me after saying some weird anti-vegan and frankly rather racist shit that I reported.

I've had a vegan crab patty that tasted basically indistinguishable from a non-vegan one, but no, that's an "uncreative substitution" per online food purists I guess. I saw a Chinese vegan restaurant make a vegan red braised pork belly from mushrooms and winter melon that was praised by omnis. The whole idea that vegans are ruining food is so funny to me because vegan restaurants are a growing market everywhere, even non-vegans are starting to catch on. Like, everyone's starting to understand that the $15 plate from the local vegan restaurant tastes better than the $50 steakhouse.

The scale and cruelty of animal agriculture is staggering. Go vegan, comrades.

I <3 the death and suffering of millions that maintains my status quo
