CN for fat hate & a photos of human organs.

.

.

.

So, you may have seen the below- some of the text is chopped off- it also includes language about fat “strangling” organs (pretty sure, not a thing).

Where does this photo of a heart come from? It’s from a slide show about heart transplants, photo number 9.

The photo’s original text is below.

This is a healthy heart, being transplanted INTO a person who needs a heart transplant. 

It is NOT a heart taken out of a dead fat person who died of Fat Heart, which is not a thing.

Fat haters lie. They do it all the time. 

Never forget that.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a long time.

Sure, “fat heart” isnt a thing but being obese does cause heart problems as the heart has to grow in order to pump more blood around the body which causes it to strain and struggle just for doing its job.

This is a real picture of a normal heart next to the heart of an obese person’s.

Why do people constantly want to encourage being obese despite the many health risks it carries?

Fat haters lie.

“Martti Tenhu, chief medical examiner in Helsinki, Finland, illustrates the differences between a normal human heart and one enlarged by alcoholism and high blood pressure. Covered in scar tissue, the enlarged organ is nearly twice the normal size. Such alcoholic cardiomyopathy weakens the heart so that it is unable to pump blood adequately.”

“Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a disease in which the chronic long-term abuse of alcohol… leads to heart failure.”

The original photo is from the National Geographic and does not mention the size of the person who had the enlarged heart. 


Fat haters lie. 

For a group of people who yell about science all the time, they sure do love clipping off the actual text included with the original photos and replacing it with dishonest garbage.

If you take the time to double check their sources, this is basically how it always goes.  

They will say anything to advance their bigotry. Don’t listen to them.

It’s ok to be fat! 

Fatty Liver disease though really can be caused by being overweight.

Did you just pick a disease with the word “fat” in it? B/c that’s what it looks like you did. 

According to Wikipedia, this is another disease that is caused by alcoholism among other things.

And according to this article by the NIH, hepatic steatosis is a disease that thin people get too.

So once again, we see that fat haters are liars. 

Additionally- just randomly picking out a disease that has the word fat in the title does not in any way refute the fact that your buddies are liars. 

That they remove the true text from photos and lie about what those photos actually show.

I love how THREE PEOPLE IN A ROW tried to lie or just picked something random to support their fatphobia. 

this is amazing

Being a bigger person, I know being heavy causes quite a few problems with health, but people just talking out their ass to make their phobia sound like they care is just annoying-

Our fingers are just too fat and heavy. We can’t lift them to google the same goddamn information the slender, healthy people (who only care about us, truly) can.

This is a fashion blog and will remain as such I promise, but can we just give @ok2befat a round of applause for how artfully they shut the BS completely down and left these liers speechless!!!!!! I love a good read! Especially when its based on facts not propaganda!

Jane Elliott giving a lecture on “Color Blindness”

seeing these white people squirm gave me joy.

Mad respect to her bc she made that vid FREE instead of making ppl pay her to repeat us like Tim wise does

Jane Elliot is the definition of a true anti-racism ally.

Loved this video. I also loved when the white girl started crying and she didn’t go running to make her feel better as she had no reason to be crying any way.

new followers, welcome. watch this.

Yeah for every 5 new followers I get I lose 4 because I stay posting shit like this. They think it’s all jokes with me and it’s not. I like to have fun but it’s real for me and if you can’t accept that then begone.

this was actually really gross those people could be gay, trans queer, mentally ill, disabled in a non visible way, abused ect and have to deal with that every day as well so i think she and the school doesn’t have th right to do this shit

Reblogging for the clap back pics

This is really important because when ever since I started captioned-vines being vocal about my blackness had me be the target of so many racist comments from people who actually utilized the blog. I faced many, many microagressive comments from white people who were dDeaf/HoH, and I was very upset that my blackness repelled people away from the service.. If you’re white, you can still be racist even if you are a part of a marginalized group. Same way my blackness doesn’t stop me from being ableist as an abled people person. I can still contribute to that oppressive system same way that you can.

Since I wasn’t there, I told @virtuouscunt she was in charge this night. I gave her only one stipulation, other than that she could do whatever she wanted. She didn’t let me down. Did a great job giving suicide girl a little teaser. After watching it again though, I’m not sure she will be able to handle me come Valentine’s Day. You can already see her start breaking down a little bit towards the end.

i just came to the conclusion that having a shitty father is such a universal experience bc society lets men be shitty and go unchecked for so long that by the time they have kids they dont know how to be a decent person or care about how anything affects anybody but themselves

I can only speak for my experience, but that is pretty much on point. A lot of people don’t understand the distinct difference between a father simply being present and father actually, you know, fathering. I had to explain this to quite a few people who come from homes with married parents. You can argue up and down about your dad being there and paying bills, but how often did he participate in actually rearing you? In raising you, teaching you, guiding you?

And how men especially joke about a girl having daddy issues like its her fault she has them
