RLLY IMPORTANT PLS READ
new blogging goal
never to re-blog/post a picture of a normatively attractive thin white fashionable girl again
(not because I have anything against them but because there are enough people re-circulating those images on the internet already and they don’t need my help)
A couple of months back I said something along the line of ‘I wonder how much better my self esteem would be if I didn’t have to see any pictures of thin white people for one day’ and ever since I was able to articulate that I’ve been more aware of what I find gorgeous and what I’m paying attention to/paying money for in a way I wasn’t before.
So yeah, I think rather than reducing I’d like to commit to doing what the OP is saying. Anyone else?
My own self-esteem and body image issues are dramatically impacted by seeing the glorification of thin white people over and over again…
… at the same time, I do find so many different types of bodies and people beautiful and I like this blog to be for all of them, including the thin white people that capture my imagination, as much as any of the images of people I reblog here capture it…
So I don’t know. Does me reblogging those images impact on you, or any of my other followers? I am genuinely interested to know.
I think your blog would be better without any thin white cis people in it. I think sharing images of thin white cis people in the name of diversity really is just race-, size- and trans-aversive… There are plenty of places people can go to see those images if they want to.
