Thanks for watching! And thanks for 30k subscribers 🥰
Well deserved!
In fact, you deserve more subscribers. Which you might actually have, because for some reason CZcams keeps unsubscribing me from this channel! I do keep re-subscribing, but it's strange...
Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work; we enjoy watching your videos!
Congratulations!
holy cow! i was here when u had 1k 😎😎 i feel cool lol
@@maggotlord7934 same dude!
Keep it up funtie. I hope these people find something that motivates to better themselves instead of dragging others down. Once they do i'd love to help them to keep that drive.
First off- we are all for the most part on a “fixed income”
Second - strange how 15$ for a streaming service is a necessity of life but a 10$ gym membership is a class privilege. I cannot with these people
Not to mention the sheer amount of food it takes to get to their size. I garentee they're spending $800+ on food each month.
Lmfao!!! You can't make this shit up.
Ironically the food they eat is considered a privilege. You can’t tax necessary items such as water, fruit, veg etc, but you can heavily tax luxury items like Oreoes.
You don’t need Oreoes to survive. You need water to survive. That’s why Oreoes are like 4x the price of water.
@@burn3627 in the U.S necessities are taxed. That includes water, fruit and veggies, meat etc
It depends on where you live. In my state, for example, grocery items are typically tax-exempt so long as they’re not ready-to-eat food. Restaurant food is also taxable. So it’s more of a luxury to eat out and get pre-packaged food because it’s taxed.
It’s almost like there are plenty of YT creators who create at home workouts using just your own body weight to exercise.
yes, and just checked and there’s plenty of ppl who also make fitness content specifically for disabled people / wheelchair users ! definitely way more easily accessible and free for them. i think disabled ppl should obvi b able to get around in the world but at least there are other options for now
Lol
Im noy disabled but I'm not going to the gym its more about diet anyway
@@bb-od9ku yeah but ur also not bitching abt not being able to afford a gym while clearly being able to afford other useless stuff. go to the gym or dont, but dont be making excuses as to why you couldnt ever possibly go when you clearly need to lol
That's exactly what I do cause the closest gym is 30min away from me and I work a lot of overtime
I grew up in Soviet era Russia and this “if clothes don’t fit me then I’m oppressed and people who are smaller have thin privilege” logic is ridiculous to me as in my country at the time a lot of people struggled with having enough food to eat yet these people won’t even admit that they have the privilege of having enough food to the point eating themselves to obesity it’s insane
This is because most people here have never been to an actual country that is oppressive. Look at that WMBA girl. She fucking hated America. Complained how oppressive and racist we are. Look at her now. Begging for the US to help her
And what about extremely thin people. I’ve struggled with anorexia for 8 years. I was 80lbs at 5’9 at my worst (and it’s not like I’m a teen and that’s a fine weight, I’m 21. I was so sick). I couldn’t fit into children clothes because I’m so tall, but I also couldn’t fit into a xxs or a 00. Was I oppressed because my clothes were hanging off of me and I couldn’t find anything to wear? NO!!!! This comparison just shows how flawed their logic really is.
I didn't grow up in the Soviet era but it's ridiculous to me too. I seems to be ridiculous to anyone with more then one brain cell. 😆
@@_kikizaman_ i’m so sorry. I hope you’re doing okay. an0rex1a is a horrifying condition
These people need to visit a truly oppressed poor country to get their priorities strait. They are not oppressed because they can't wedge their leg in a size 5 jeans!!
Saw a dude at my gym with cerebral palsy working out, and he comes every week. Serious dedication

Good for him!
I would have a lot more respect for these activists if they were fighting to solve food deserts, the lack of safe outdoor spaces for exercise, and the systemic factors forcing people to work multiple jobs to survive, all of which are real issues that contribute to obesity. Instead, they focus on too-small airline seats and a lack of cute clothes. Their videos absolutely scream privilege.
@@Raya-ir4tm I think food deserts are when fresh healthy food is super duper expensive while the processed packaged unhealthy food is cheap. Definitely some people do choose the unhealthy food even when both are well priced, but yeah :)
A food desert occurs because of crime in the area. Shoplifting, violence, etc. When it becomes unprofitable to have a store and unsafe for workers, they shut the stores down. The problem is the people of the neighborhoods don't police their own behaviors.
@@Raya-ir4tm Food deserts are a thing in America. stores close when they are robbed and their employees are assaulted. It becomes unwise to have a store in such an area. However, instead of better behavior being insisted upon in the neighborhood by the people who live there, they whine that they are victims of big corporations turning their backs on the neighborhood.
You hit the nail on the head!!!!
I Agree! 💯
throwing around the term of "privileged" is just another manifestation of envy and a desire to not be held accountable for their own actions, behaviors , and mentality.
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you it also works the other way too. I've been considered "too small" my entire life cuz i never weighed over 110 and i was overweight then
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you exactly. In america, bigger is considered better only because of how fat acceptance people push it to be seen as better. Skinny people are treated exactly the same, but they won't listen to us
This privilege thing is clearly a social engineering tool to divide people. If you think about it it's literally saying that people not suffering is a problem. If people wanted to improve they'd try to learn from these people who managed to avoid these common problems we all face rsther than vilify them. Sometimes it is just being born in the right place, but the other 90% is just time and resource management. Seriously, ever person in a regular ass suburb is there because of budgeting. They still have bills like the rest of us.
"You're privileged to be thin". This is the default your rich, food affording asshole.
I guess it's the thinly veiled envy for "skinny women" for me that gets me the most in these videos. Just throw the word privledge to logical fallacy your way out of any argument.
Yess, have you watched Contrapoint's video on envy? It explains the envy contempt sublimation very well
I understand what this person means about the gym, but let's be real: you do not need to go to the gym to be healthy and stay in shape. I use my house as my track and walk circuits around it. I do squats and sit ups in my bedroom. I have a small weight to lift. I can't speak for disabled people and their struggles, but I do know that it's possible to be healthy without the aid of a gym.
literally. im disabled and it is actually far easier for me to work out at home instead of expending energy on finding my way to a gym, working out, then coming home. at home I also don't have to worry about injuring myself. people always say exercise is expensive and they can't afford the workout gear like put on some gross old leggings, a big t shirt and shoes, and go for a walk. plus, most disabled people have been given special exercises from our doctors that we are SUPPOSED to do at home that are made specifically to help our conditions improve. fat ableds love to use us as props and pawns when they can twist our experiences to fit their narrative but the second we want a space to speak in the community we created, we're told we're bigots.
Same!! I have fibromyalgia and also cannot drive, and I live in a garbage doodoo city with shitty public transport and no walkability. So getting to and from the gym is hella difficult a lot of the time.
So I fuckin take walks around the neighborhood! I dance in my room! I play with my dogs! I rollerskate when I can!
They act like a gym is the ONLY place someone can go exercise but there are SO many things that count as exercise! And they're fun!
Lost 50lbs, only train at home 30 minutes every 2 days and I look really fit now. Going to the gym is a luxury for me (poor uni student) but getting and staying fit is not even a privilege.
I lost sixty pounds without doing a lick of real exercise, just by altering my diet (which, according to them, also doesn't work). I cut the crap out of it, dropped the useless carbs, and my weight went down by fifty quite quickly. The last ten has drifted off over time, and is still going. I'd like to lose another ten.
I've said the same thing...but they have actually countered that with excuses like space within the home, privacy...not having a home. They will make any and every excuse! It's honestly so pathetic.
Alan Roberts said "there's no thin privilege, there are obese consequences" and I agree. It is also a privilege to be able to afford to eat yourself into obesity but god forbid you dare to voice that! I can't imagine living my life as a perpetual victim, how embarrassing. Thanks for the video, I hope you're having a lovely week❤️
There actually is a problem with poor people becoming obese due to bad diet and lack of accessibility! But 99% of these fat acceptance tiktokers are just middle class white people that are grasping for any sort of oppression and using actual marginalized people to shield them from responsibility :(
All food has calories, cheap food, for instance usually has more.
So no, not everyone who's obese has had to spend more money being bigger then starving.
But people who get bigger for other reasons should also face those consequences? Should an average size women when she become pregnant be faced to not have clothes for 9 months?. The average size is a 16 in the us.
Yeah, so thin people are the minority in the states. But are seen as normal.
@@vintagecameragirl nope. We're not seen as normal at all.
@@vintagecameragirl I'm mainly speaking of the folks on TikTok who scream about how they are marginalized and oppressed just because they're fat. I would safely guess that none of them have had to endure such things. In my opinion they're mostly middle to upper class people and just want attention.
@@kadehysell2551 I am FAR from normal😆
Plant Fitness is only 10 bucks. The reason they see it as “pricey” is simply because it’s not a priority for them. A lot of fast food meals add up to the same price for one person. I find that pretty pricey for a one time meal. 10 bucks is good for an entire month. Planet Fitness’s whole thing is being non-judgemental! I’m my experience, even at my heaviest (277 lbs.), if anything, everyone at the gym ENCOURAGED me.
Good for you!! And also I agree! These people have this weird idea that everyone at the gym judges you and puts you down for being fat, but truthfully most people in the gym are also pursuing theirs own goals, understand that all people start somewhere and are generally encouraging of someone else who makes the effort to care for their body. Or they just don’t care and stay in their lane. 10+ dollars for a fast food meal is pricey considering there really isn’t any nutrition and u might end up still being hungry. Vs $10 a month on for unlimited access to a gym? Even if you only went once a week it’s not that bad compared to Taco Bell or McDonald’s for one meal! It’s longevity over momentary pleasure. If anything this access is amazing and makes it fairly easy for almost anyone to have a gym membership.
Exactly - ten bucks a month for a gym is "expensive". But seven bucks every day on fancy coffee, isn't.
Literally though, one hour of me working pays for my whole month membership lol
yes! you prioritize the things in life you want to have we all have finite resources and choices where to allocate them. There is no one in the US so poor that 120 dollars a year is unaffordable. If you care about your health that much go panhandle and make that in a few hours or pick up recycling or do literally one gig on fiverr or ask a family member or literally anything.
Im from Brazil and I invite all these people who think they’re “oppressed” to come here and just take a look around! Come tell REAL oppressed people how much you suffer for not being able to “afford” gym or that they don’t have enough sizes in clothing. These people need a reality check smh
You're right, I feel privileged to be born and raised in the US. These people are delusional and narcissistic, not to mention lazy.
They wouldn't last an hour in a favela. They wouldn't last an hour in a rural midwest town in the USA. Hell, they wouldn't last a minute in a house without air conditioning! They're so pampered, but their greed & entitlement blinds them.
Sou brasileira and I agree with you 100%
Imagine being so privileged that your definition of oppression is not finding clothes in your size
I hate to say this (and I really do), but we have Brazilian ~influencers~ who also advocate for the fat acceptance movement who would agree with a lot of the people in these videos
The fact that we need to rely on working out intentionally instead of back-breaking labor in order to survive and eat is a huge boon these folks aren't appreciative of. They don't think of all the work put into the food they're eating, the houses there living in, the heat/cooling keeping them comfortable. This is a privilege.
EXACTLY 💯. They wouldn't last a week on a farm or sitting a zombie apocalypse.
@@absolutelyridiculous6743
To be fair, I'd be too busy playing with goats to work on a farm... And don't get me started on how many more privileges we lose in an apocalypse like clean water, oh gosh... We'd all be doomed.
@Horgan Blatt
The energy they put into all of that is astounding too....not enough to actually watch videos criticizing them before they copyright claim, but astounding nonetheless. I'd rather be cooking real food lmao.
According to their logic, buying food would be classist because there are people who can't afford or don't have access to food. Like what??
It’s the epitome of privilege! When you personally eat the same calories as an entire family daily and call it “food freedom”
Must be nice to be that “FREE”, too bad you don’t share your food with the actual poor and HUNGRY people. For centuries it literally was considered a “deadly sin” to overeat when others don’t even have access to food. But the messed up part is these people don’t even understand their privilege despite bitching about everyone else’s privilege for just eating normal portions and wearing normal size clothing
"Comparison is the thief of joy." It so interesting in these videos how often someone will say, "I never realized this until I saw this video..." Social media has made it super easy to compare so many different people and their experiences. Which offers the opportunity for many people to argue about "privileges" they never would have thought about without social media. I think a lot of these people would be happier if they got off social media.
this is so true. the constant comparisons on social media turn into jealousy and the most socially acceptable way of manifesting that jealousy is by complaining about 'privilege'.
@@funtietimes bit you also gotta wonder, why are these people jealous of everything? They are unhappy with their own lives, that's why they want to have someone else's life - at best without doing anything for it
So true! As someone who used to be one of those BoPo people, getting off social media for the most part has really helped my physical and mental health. Specifically Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. I still Facebook every once and a while, but cutting out IG and SC has really helped me stop comparing my life to others and think less of myself constantly. I am now finally in therapy and losing weight, have a full time job with benefits, and am finally starting to feel at peace after cutting off some negative people. So yeah, social media is really toxic, but I still use CZcams and at least there are channels like Funtie that have the best communities 💕
My favorite was years back when I was accused of having “motivation privilege” regarding my nutrition and exercise. “Not everyone has the same motivation,” and? Like i feel like doing this every day? No. I have to do this every day to be healthy even when I don’t wanna
They just keep making up excuses as they go. "Motivation privilege" doesn't make any sense, considering that you're not born with it, you have to work on it. It's the same with "going to the gym/pool is a privilege!". So? I never stepped foot in gym in my life, yet I run 9 km everyday.
That is the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. Motivation privilege?? These people really think it comes so easy to us all and that’s why they’re even more bitter when they struggle the tiniest amount to reach their goals, not knowing all of us struggle on a daily basis to do the things we set our minds to. It’s not motivation, motivation fades really fast, it’s self discipline.
As if being motivated is a thing you are born with… everyone has to work to become motivated for things, it doesn’t just happen. And motivation happens in short bursts of a few hours to a few days. Then you keep going because you have made it a habit. Nobody is constantly motivated for anything. I swear these people find any excuse!
That’s soo dumb lol really?? That sounds more like jealousy and shaming you.
Their gym rant cracked me up. I’m younger than they are and disabled (on SSDI and Medicare). My Medicare plan* offers free gym memberships - to basically every gym in my area. I just have to select one. I can even go to the bougie yoga and Pilates studios if I want to pay a small fee/difference. They will also send me a Fitbit or garmin on request - they WANT you to be healthy.
* for those unfamiliar, Medicare in the USA is offered to those above age 65, and also those found permanently disabled who have earned enough work credits to receive social security disability allowance.
If you offered most of these people free gym memberships, they'd never go. Many will not even take the medication they are prescribed and which insurance pays for. They are too addicted to being victims to change.
wow i didn't know medicare had those types of benefits, how cool.
In the USA, do you guys have local parks in each residential area? (I know that cities probably would). I'm just curious because the gym isn't the only resource available in order to exercise. If you have a local park or people could even use the roads from their house and in their local area as a walking path or running/jogging route. If there is a park, you could do the same thing, walk there and then jog/walk in the park even if it's only for 30 minutes.
@@ashh6297really depends where you live-some places are great and have lots of sidewalks and parks. More and more places are suburbs with little to no tree shade and terrible infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. In the home I grew up in (Southern California), my brother and I had to cross multiple busy streets with cars going 50+ MPH, cut through neighborhoods with no sidewalks and sketchy vacant lots all to get to the closest store which was a Starbucks. It was a 2.5 mile walk, with lots of steep slopes and essentially no sidewalks. The only reason we did it was because we enjoyed walking, we were bored out of our minds in the summer months, we couldn’t drive, and we wanted to go write and draw at the Starbucks. But it was absolutely hostile to walk in every way-in those neighborhoods you’re not expected to leave by walking or biking-the only transportation that’s accommodated for is driving.
@@ashh6297the U.S is very notorious for having horrible sidewalks that end randomly and bad trails. But most residential areas do have parks, it all really depends on the area.
These people are the definition of miss-using a words meaning to the point where it has no meaning, it’s ridiculous and honestly quite disrespectful to the people who are actually affected by the words and the meaning that they are using. Great video funtie glad you’re here to say the truth these people desperately need to hear
These folks want to say that words have impact on themselves, yet continue to use their own words so frivolously toward others.
This is so true. When I first heard of fatphobia I agreed with the sentiment when it was focused on medical fat phobia and obese people deserving access to adequate medical care, but fat activists have taken the term to mean anything that makes them feel guilty about having extra fat. Some would even call ME fat phobic for having lost over 100 pounds despite my experience once being a fat person and understanding where they’re coming from even if I don’t agree with how they express their concerns.
@@laurieanthony1556 first of all congratulations on your weight loss, second of all that's how those people operate they despise anyone that goes against their ideas and will openly change the meaning of a word just so that they will fill oppressed or like a victim and anyone that tries to help them will get the middle finger or be called horrible names because they don't wanna help themselves so they will try to pull people down to their level
@@laurieanthony1556 wow congrats on loosing that much weight that’s incredible, I too have lost weight and was once were they were I understand where they are coming from but they make it harder for themselves by diluting their problems by using excuses under the word of oppression. I agree fat people deserve equal access to health care and things like that but when they start using fat phobia to talk about clothing sizes or calling people fat phobic for wanting to loose weight or loosing it that’s absurd
“fatphobia is usually misogyny” THANK YOU!!! It drives me up the wall when someone says something like “he called me a fat ugly bitch :( what a fatphobe” like girl
and the medical stuff!! anyone w an F on their chart is going to be treated worse in the medical field, like my mom n i have similar joint issues n she’s bigger n im average weight n we’ve both been dismissed by doctors for years before being taken somewhat seriously to get dismissed again and again after that 🙄
@@caspertheghost8631 I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not trying to be a jerk: what does that have to do with the comment you are responding to? Edit: ohhh, never mind, I'm an idiot. I thought the F on the medical chart was for fat, not female. I am truly stupid, lolol.
Just so you know Funtie, my BMI was 31.5 at the beginning of the year. Today, it is 25.8. I know it's not always accurate but it's a rough guide, especially for my body type. I'm on my way to where I want to be. I like to watch your videos whilst spinning on my spin bike. For whatever reason, they motivate me :)
Congratulations and hope you continue to do well.
keep up the hard work!
Good for you!!!!
I use these vids for motivation and entertainment during my workouts.
Very happy that you have discovered the joy of exercise. 👍👍👍👍
I know this was 6 months ago, but I hope you're still doing well with your weight loss. My BMI was at 42.6 in March of last year and I've got it down to 33. Hope to get it under 30 in a few months 🙏
This is a perfect breakdown of the underlying fallacies. They've distorted ideas of "privilege" and "intersectionality" to a point where they no longer have salience and no one is taking it seriously.
You hit the nail on the head when you called fay shaming misogyny...these women have internalized the false notion that desirability is a shield from misogynistic abuse when beauty just makes you a different type of target.
@@Raya-ir4tm mean comments about your body, bullying, or cruelty as a result of your looks is still unjustified regardless of habits. However what FAs ignore is that this is something that affects all women and that the assumed privilege that comes with being viewed as attractive comes with its own form of harassment. Their war should be with objectifocation rather than the existence of thin women. And they also need to stop lying about health
Not even gonna lie- I can barely make it through the first TikTok. Holy hell… When it comes to your body and health, I don’t give a damn how many stumbles you have to go through, you make it work. I have to have someone else drive me and register as a guest every time with my friend. I have to stay up late cause it’s the only available time we can go to the gym. I have to work against my depression and medications that cause me to gain weight and feel lethargic past 6 AM. I’m not saying it’s just as hard for me as a disabled person who uses public transport, but I make it work, cause I care about my physical health and don’t make bs excuses like “Oh the sidewalk isn’t clear, guess I can’t workout today.“ Like what???
This is cowardice. This is emotional impotence. This is having the mental strength of a five year old who wants to have ice cream for dinner. Good luck when you’re 45 and everything hurts/your hormones go freakin insane/any of the other side effects of obesity because you didn’t take care of yourself now.
Edit: NOT TO MENTION… it is completely possible to exercise at home. I’ve learned the vast majority of what I know about fitness from CZcams (and I check different sources to see if it’s cap), and there are ways for everyone to have physical activity despite physical-or-mental disabilities. Some may be harder than others, and some of us have bigger roadblocks than others, but this renders further how much of an excuse this person is making. This is not even an argument…
I hope you know that you are a total badass for making it through all of that to go to the gym or to work out. It’s not easy.
If they make it to 45. This person has uncontrolled T2 diabetes and doctor shops until they get one that doesn't even suggest they should manage their blood sugar.
Not to mention the fact that lack of access to a gym ≠ lack of exercise. Although what you can get out of a gym is great and while I agree with the main points about gyms being expensive, new comers not knowing what to do, everyone should be able to go etc., that rant still felt irrelevant bc it's like... okay, and? There are a million things you can do to get some physical activity. So you can't go to the gym. So? What's your point?
@@amandalovatsis THIS TOO
You can literally just walk and lose weight and get fit. You dont need anything except for a comfortable pair of shoes. These people are grasping for straws to win the oppression olympics.
by their logic cars are classist because not everyone can afford one
Hearing is classist because some people are deaf and cant afford hearing aids.🤦♀️ thats how fucking stupid these people sound
By their logic literally everything is classist other than breathing. If you use their logic, literally EVERYTHING is classist then. Food, phones, television, movie theatres, arcades, everything. Like lmao their logic is SO flawed.
Fatsapphicbro (the gym rant person) has a car!
That's coming in the very near future.
America's skyrocketing energy prices aren't an anomaly. They are planned. The WEF wants a world where you don't own a car, or house, or anything at all.
then being fat is classist because not everyone can afford food
As a disabled person, I find a way to stay active that works for my specific disability. This person DOES NOT speaks for all of us who are disabled.
Yes
Thank you
They make such excuses...and show their own ableism and disdain in the process. I have a friend who severed her spine in a car crash, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She still worked out all the time, doing everything she could with what she could move.
He doesn’t speak for ANYONE outside his own echo chamber. He/she/it has not interest in hearing a contradicting argument no matter how fact based it is. This clown will delete contradictory posts and block you from his Tik Tok account if you present an argument to his idiocy. He only allows comments from brain dead supporters who parrot his rhetoric.
in my country a monthly payment in the gym is cheaper than a dinner for 4 in a McDonald's or any fast food restaurant. Fast food is really expensive here so be fat is a privilege
@Rachel Forshee I was about to say, here in Ontario, Canada we have Fit4Less, it’s 10$ and pretty nice actually where most people choose it. Got hydro massage beds lol also normally if one is disabled and on disability they can apply and qualify for other covered services so I am sure they could get a 10$ gym pass worked in from their worker. . .
Planet Fitness where I live (in the same county as Seattle), is $11 per month with tax.
Exactly like if they’d just cut off some of the fast food then it’s be enough to pay for a gym membership
@@scotiadunlop Yes! I used to be a member of fit4less and it was actually nicer than many of the more expensive gyms. Plus most locations have 24/7 access so if you are scared of people judging you or do shift work then you can go super early or late.
You're so privileged! In my country the monthly memebership is 41$!!! /s
"going to the gym is classist" fucking one shotted me oh my god. i grew up wayyyy below the poverty line. i know what real classism is. it's forced poverty cycles, it's exam boards in the uk giving the highest marks to those who's schools are in rich postcodes, it's the cycle of unemployment from being forced into jobs you're underqualified for because if you dont you'll lose your benefits, it's your own government letting you starve and freeze, it's being mocked for your old stained clothes, its being mocked and belittled for using accents that come from a working class background, its the embarrassment and shame you feel waiting in line at the food bank. its not fucking chad getting his gains. the NERVE.
What is their obsession with privilege?? I’m a black woman and even I don’t go on and on about privilege like this. Being able to eat yourself into morbid obesity is a privilege to some people. They need to just go to therapy and grow up. Life isn’t fair. And if your disadvantage is fatness then lose weight and stop pretending you’re oppressed. Ffs!
the obsession is they have learned that in the right progressive spaces co-opting the language of civil rights means anyone that dares to even mildly criticize them will be called a literal actual Nazi by so many people it drowns out any legitimate criticism entirely. They want people to feel scared to disagree
It's always brilliant to see all these middle class, well off and yes "privileged" types lecturing us about classism. I grew up poor and working class in the UK and I've been shut down countless times because they don't want to know about any "lived experience" that doesn't fit their world view.
If they don't want to go to the gym or lose weight then cool but don't place obstacles in the way for already vulnerable people. My local council in the UK provides free exercise classes and outdoor gyms for anyone who needs them and I've personally seen people of all shapes and sizes take part. Also as a trained personal trainer we are taught about ways to adapt exercises for various needs clients may have. I'm sure there are unhelpful gyms and trainers out there but that is by no means the rule.
Some gyms also do a lower rate subscription for those who are disabled or on benefits, as well as some can be paid for by the NHS if you are over a certain weight and have asked your doctor for help exercising.
As someone who is disabled, I have benefited from both the lower price for the gym, as well as a free subscription to a nutritionist, which are all things that can help with losing weight or getting healthier.
But yeah they plug their ears when you try to explain things like this, and claim it as privilege, because they need an excuse to keep up their rhetoric and echo chamber.
@@yuyu_yuen6732 exactly. My mom and sister are disabled so I'm not unsympathetic to the issues that people with disabilities face but I hate when it's used to shield them from criticism.
That's exactly it! "...obstacles in the way for the already vulnerable..." You're spot on. They are making up excuses, but they have no idea the damage they are doing! Like when they complain about how fatphobic their doctors are and how triggering it is to go to an appointment, all that does is make sad, self-conscious, gullible people feel like they will have the same experience...and so they don't go get care and end up sick or worse. These "activists" are just spewing lies and fearmongering nonsense!
Gyms are overrated anyway. If you like going to one, then go, but it's not at all a necessity. Pounds are lost in the kitchen, inches gained in the gym.
it bothers me so much that they think you can only workout at a gym. i worked out throughout high school, without money or a car, by looking up workout routines on youtube n doing them in my bedroom or going outside n walking/jogging. like you dont *need* a gym to workout there are ways around that if you truly wanted to workout, but i dont think they do..
"the real fat phobia is misogyny" THANK YOU
@@Raya-ir4tm literally was said in the video that unattractive women tend to be treated worse than attractive women. Sure, to an extent it's similar for unattractive men, but it's pretty undisputable that women are expected to be beautiful more than men are.
So if a fat woman is treated poorly because she's fat and seen as unattractive that's just misogyny.
That's what I keep saying! Everyone body is different.
My job is to take people with disabilities to the gym. We use the rec center which is the cheapest option and they are incredibly friendly and supportive of people with disabilities. I just feel like fatsaphicbro just sits inside all day making claims and accusations without actually experiencing those things himself. He honestly needs to get outside into the real world more often.
Amen! And bless you for doing that! I have a cousin with down syndrome and she loves to exercise and play softball ❤️
He has the ultimate privilege to complain about something he knows nothing about the Y has great deals for the disabled I know because I used to swim there with a woman who used a wheelchair she managed to get there everyday.
00:19:54 "Because first world problems are a lot more socially acceptable to complain about if you frame them as a lack of privilege".
Damn. You nailed it.
Also just the fact that a lot of the attacking of thin women is just… deeply misogynist in itself, assigning character flaws to women that they don’t know simply because they are women that have a body type that they don’t.
T H A N K Y O U
I wish I could like your comment 1000 times. You took the damn words outta my mouth!
imagine the amount of anxiety these people must feel due to thinking about EVERY TINY LITTLE thing about everyone in the world and with every circunstance under their belts just to live everyday.... imagine.... yikes
The misogyny connection is so important to understanding the rage, madness, and general insanity we see from these folks. Thank you for fleshing this out and speaking truth! More of these please!
You know what's a definite privilege that a lot of those FAs probably have that they never acknowledge? Reliable transportation. I mean, they're definitely not walking long distances and staying at that weight.
Dude, YES. The majority of them very obviously own a CAR and that in itself is a luxury.
For anybody living in the USA or in Canada and is on disability or social assistance you can get a gym membership they will pay for it and they will even arrange rides for you to get back-and-forth if you have problems walking. Disability wants people to get proper exercise and get healthy so maby one days they can get off disability.
As a disabled Canadian I did not know this? Thank you so much for giving me something to look into since I’ve just been focusing on at home workouts!
@@laurieanthony1556 Not a problem I've been on Disability a long time now 17 years so I take advantage of being able to get to a gym for my mental health, just talk with your worker Sometimes you have to put out the money 1st and submit the receipt and get a refund.
This is what confused me. I know in the US if you are on some kind of welfare, you automatically qualify for alot of free programs. sounds like they just aren’t doing their research.
@@cocolina53348 oh ya even 2000$ every 2 years for new furniture. Also free counseling, school, druge and addiction help, taxi's to doctor appointments, classes for getting work all free
Also many cities give free bus passes to those who are disabled.
…
I bought my Gym subscription.
$349 for a year.
That’s less than $1 a day…
Basically he prefers to spend $1 on a donut that $1 on his health. Yet only wants to make excuses for himself.
Belive me, Bro is not spending $1 on doughnuts. Tim Hortons sells a pack of them for $5 that's probably what he's getting
Plant Fitness is $10/mo. I bet they spend more money on Netflix/Hulu a month.
really resonated with me when you said fatphobia should just fall under the umbrella of misogyny. its so obviously a consequence of the standards for women being enforced to the point that looks matter more than personhood. though i am a firm believer that most anyone can change and lose weight, the idea that a woman is treated horribly until she does so is peak misogyny
The stuff you said about clothing inclusivity is very true, Im a tall guy and often times I can’t find many shoes I like in my size, as well as clothes. Same goes with being left handed, wired notebooks are generally a pain to write on. I don’t consider this classist or a lack of privilege, it’s just a fact of life that not everything is going to be accessible for everyone. Some people just choose weird hills to die on. Regardless, I love your videos and congratulations on 30k!
😈 those wired notebooks are trying to “beat” the witch out of you! Gotta keep oppression of those lefties strong 💪 😉
Try notebooks with the wires at the top, as opposed to the sides. Legal pads should work too😁
I am obese and disabled and I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. The gym staff and the members are super nice! If you want something bad enough, you can go to the gym!
Also, nobody NEEDS a gym. If you have internet there are millions of at home workout vids on CZcams. Plenty that do not require equipment. Excuses.
Also, you don't even need to exercise AT ALL to lose weight. Just eat fewer calories than you use.
@@tiffanielafleur6597 this is true, I lost close to 60 pounds just by eating less. I didn’t even really eat much better. Just portion control. Never stepped foot in the gym, until about a month ago.
"if you don't wanna listen to me talk for the next twenty minutes this is your chance to click off"
We knew what we signed up for when we subscribed
How long in terms of human civilisation have gyms open to the public been a thing? Last 50 years or so i’d think. No one needs a gym, we managed just fine before that 🙄
I'm waiting for the day when the BPM community starts saying that breathing (not short of breath or huffy&puffy) is a PRIVILEGE and we are discriminating against them by just breathing. I'm telling you guys that day is coming. You don't have to go to the gym to workout, there are a ton of free options. My question is so where is the money for the food coming from then? fastfood is cheap but sooner or laster it start adding up. I would like the BPM to start doing what I consume financially in a day videos. I think that would be way better than them lying through their teeth about their eating habits.
fast food isn’t even cheap anymore. a meal at mcdonalds is like 10 dollars nowadays
OMG, EVERYTHING is classist to FSB! Like, their expectation is that someone else has to figure out for you how to manage your time and provide transportation to the gym and cook your food because somehow having less money means you're completely incapable of these things. Are they not able to get out of bed without someone else coming into the room and ushering them to the shower to get ready for the day?
Someone on a different video pointed out that fsb makes all their videos in bed in the same dirty tank top so idk lol
@@jessicagoodson7452 🤢
I have a huge bone to pick with the whole concept of a "body hierarchy." Defining your place in society specifically on your body's features is hugely reductive.
You seem to have forgotten, they don't own their bodies hence the term "living inside of a larger body" , sounds like an apartment or something.
Right from the beginning... Having a privilege to do things like go to the gym does not make you classist. By that argument, living in the suburbs makes you insanely classist. This is Insanity.
Congrats on 30k
I feel like people mix up the word privilege and convenience a lot. It’s convenient to live close to a gym. It’s convenient to be able to walk to a store or gym. It’s convenient if I find a last minute outfit but shouldn’t be expected.
"Disabled people who are on a fixed income cannot afford any extras like the gym", oh yeah, then how in the hell are you getting the hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of junk food to keep that 400 lbs on your body?
omG yOu DoN't KnOw WhAt ThEy EEeEAt!!!1!
Isn't this the one who made a video saying they talked their doctor into giving them more insulin so they could eat more? LOL
@@unowen7416 yes, the same who said that "he cured his diabetes while getting fatter"
.diabetes is going to kill them. My dad and uncle, both got type 2. My uncle didn't change his ways and is now missing a foot. My still kinda heavy dad bikes to work 20 miles round trip almost everyday and is managing his diabetes in a healthy way. At what point are they gonna realize that all these excuses are going to kill them or have missing limbs? Then what? Are they gonna deny still that their weight isn't a factor?!.
@@audreystarlight138 exactly FSB is gonna end up with a chronic foot wound that WILL lead to eventual amputation.
I'm working hard to get "Thin Privilege", when I am thinner and healthier I will have the PRIVILEGE of living longer to see my grandchild grow up. 👍🏻
I'm a personal trainer, the last gym I worked at provided assistance to disabled and elderly people, they worked out for free. I specialize in training the elderly. My mom claims gyms are too expensive and refused to go. My gym was a flat 35 bucks a month. Too expensive for a membership, but would eat out everyday for lunch...
Sheesh, Funtie, this video makes me feel like you're really showing off your smart privilege 🧐
darn, i'm losing out on those oppression points 😥. i'll do less next time.
Seriously! XD
@@funtietimes Lol, I'm tempted to say don't shrink yourself, but that's just another concept that they've ruined by taking it in the dumbest, most literal way possible.
That's hilarious 😂. "Don't shrink yourself" is definitely another tainted phrase.
@@mercurymay39 what does or did "don't shrink yourself" mean?
Planet fitness is $10/month. That’s a snack a month. A kettlebell is
My impression is, that instead of finding a way that makes it possible for him to work out he rather finds a million excuses for why he can't. Because there is support for disabled people, special workout programs, people who are willing to pick them up etc. ... but they won't come to his door and beg him to join, he has to make a little effort and approach them.
You don't need a special food that's more expensive than any of the other food, in order to lose weight. Just have a calorie deficit. You don't have to go to the gym to lose weight or get in shape. You can do plenty of different exercises that require zero equipment. This is a whole new level of excuses.
.you don't need a fing gym to get exercise. Period. Go to a public park, take a walk, lift a can of beans or a 2 liter of soda to lift weight. All these excuses are absolutely absurd.
You can also just look up at home workouts on CZcams for free, and find exercises that are disability friendly and low impact.
go to a public pool, that shit is great for people with limited mobility
If you can afford a pet, play catch with your dog and go for walks.
Go dancing, and so on. Gyms can make it easier, but not a "must have".
If he has time to rant on TikTok, then he has time to work out. And according to these comments, you can go out on a walk or doing workouts at home. A gym membership is not needed.
In some states if a person qualifies for assistance they can also receive a free gym membership. 🤷♀️
that's true! I found that out recently which is really interesting.
Be careful! They WILL try and copyright strike you because they can't handle the criticism.
my brother in christ thinks planet fitness is pricey
Probably because they spend all their money on food or those clothes they complain about
@@jaycraw6978 that may be it
Not to mention one could argue being morbidly obese itself is a privilege. There's an immense amount of privilege comparatively that allows one to become morbidly obese as it's an abundance of resources. Morbidly obese people have more wealth to spend on food, have less work-life stress that takes them away from a decadent lifestyle. It's not cheap and it's not easy being morbidly obese and to get there and maintain it is a constant abuse of privilege
Yeah. People seem to forget that when you're 400+lbs it takes 4000-5000 calories a day to maintain that size. Thats a lot of money being spent on food.
Congrats on 30k, Funtie! Geez I barely made it through the first Tiktok - rant warranted.
So I just went on a deep dive down FSB's tiktok (which will probably ruin my algorithm but whatever) and I'm so upset by all the medical misinformation they share. They straight up told a woman that being obese is BETTER for you when you have EDS!! I have struggled with EDS my whole life, and both my mother and I are disabled from it. Carrying around extra weight makes your pain WORSE. Not using your body makes your muscles weaker and your joints dislocate MORE. It makes your hormones worse (my EDS is linked to my PCOS) which causes all kinds of problems. I can't believe they said that. This woman was in tears, grateful that FSB told her this and believed them despite seeing dozens of doctors & specialists over the years that never said such a thing. why!! Why believe FSB?! Over your doctors?! Ik it sucks dealing w doctors and never getting better but this is NOT it. I promise you gaining weight will make you feel WORSE. Losing weight is hard with EDS, but my mother lives a much more fulfilled life and manages her pain far better now that she's at a healthier weight. Holy crap, I'm so mad!!
I also saw people saying that FSB recently went on a "false flagging spree" on youtube? And only targeted POC creators? And then when called out targeted a few white women? Idk if it's true but figured I'd mention since ur a yt creator that covers them. I love ur content!
Privilege was supposed to be a word to be used as an academic concept to talk about things like being white or straight or born completely intact and healthy vs the mutant guy from 300. Thinness is earned
If you’re in a city, the Ymca or ywca has income based pricing. It’s a thing
I'm 5'11 and lot of clothes in regular shops don't fit me. Back in the day, before the clothes selection was as massive as it is now, I had to wear clothes that were too short, from the mens' section or shop at specialised shops for tall women where price tags were eye-watering. I also used to be borderline obese which meant that I could only buy clothes in shops that catered to tall women AND had my size range (this was before online shopping was really a thing), or wear badly-fitting mens' clothes. My second reason for losing weight - beyond health - was to be able to at least buy SOMETHING that fit me in a regular shop. I still remember I burst into tears when I fit into a pair of jeans at Zara (their biggest size but STILL A WIN). I'm now at a BMI of 22 and clothes still often don't fit me, but the Internet exists and I can shop around. It blows my mind that having the resources these people have they choose to lie about and demand others accommodate them in all ways possible.
"If you don't have any money how do we go to the gym/pool?"
That's a paper tiger; if you don't have money for a gym/gym pool-go to the community pool and workout at home. Literally everyone has a device on them at all times that posses information, like steps to workout on a budget.
You do not need a lot of money to work out/stay healthy
It's an excuse, it's the mentality that I can't do "___" because "_____" and I shouldn't feel bad even though at the end of the day I do.
If they don't have any money, how are they shoveling that much food into their faces?
You don't need a single cent to exercise unless you are unable to walk. As far as food goes if you have enough money to become obese you have enough money for low cost healthy food.
if you can afford all that fast food you're getting, you can afford the gym...but you don't need it to be fit. i walk outside. And while we're on the subject of "privilege," acknowledge your privilege of being able to eat so much food, in excess,in a world where people are starving and die because of it
fatsapphicbro goes on and on about classism and ableism when he wants to defend his right to be 400lbs, but just happens to forget about those two concepts when he wants to absolutely destroy someone who purposefully lost weight to regain mobility.
These people don't care about classism, racism, ableism or whatever other words they use to legitimize their own movement. They use those buzzwords to defend themselves and their outrageous claims, but when it comes to ACTUAL classism/racism/homophobia/ableism, they can't be fuckin bothered.
If they have to rely on other social movements to make their own movement more legit, they didn't have a valid social movement to begin with.
This is the same guy who complained about handicap stalls being "ableist" because the purposefully lowered toilet paper holder dug into his leg. He literally uses the disabled community like a damn prop and it's super gross.
@@coraqu1n772 right. If FatSapphicBro is to be believed, the disabled community is unable to do anything and is completely helpless. It's incredibly insulting.
These people could be dismissed as whiny, jealous losers if they weren't so gosh-darned entertaining. And to Fats, Marissa, Splotchy and all the rest: you absolutely make me feel better about myself and motivate me to continue with my weight loss and strength-training journeys. And I admit to having zero compassion for your self-made problems. In fact, I'm proudly Fatphobic.
I literally just wanna make an anti-Marissa Tictok to translate what she says into a nicer tone and fix her entitlement and misinformation hahah she grinds my gears ⚙️
Fatphobia isn’t real
@@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858 Sure it is. The last time I saw a fat person, I reacted by screaming and running down the street as fast as I could to avoid catching The Fat.
@@BronzeDragon133 🤭stuuuuuuuuuupid lol
@@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858 I legitimately fear getting fat, because I've been fat and remember how uncomfortable it was. And I am legitimately disgusted when I see fat adults who I know are perfectly capable of eating less and getting more exercise, especially when I see them eating crap. I'm sure Sapphic, Marissa, etc. would call that "Fatphobic," which is fine with me.
I think your voice (tone, speech pattern, etc) attracted me to your channel and love the calling out of idiots! Just like this one that believe luxury is classism. Just because you can't currently doesn't mean someone like you also can't
I lost 10 pounds during lockdown by riding a stationary bike at home and using a free app to track calories. Yes, it's still privilege of sorts to be able to buy the bike, but cheaper in the long run than a gym membership. Plus, as someone else mentioned, there's plenty of youtubers creating at home workouts, or walking around your neighborhood if it's safe.
Second hand stores always have used exercise equipment for decent prices. If they would eliminate 2 of their 11 meals a day they could help themselves more.
I grew up in pretty severe poverty and we were able to use the YMCA for free. My father (who had disabilities) was able to use the gym and even had consultations with a nutritionist that was on staff. Also, we were given vouchers for public transportation as well. Just giving another take.
This video dropped as I was coming out of the gym. I did a workout during a plantar fasciitis flare-up. Weirdly, my foot feels a little better now.
I only mention the plantar fasciitis because I think it would fit fatsapphicbro's definition of disability.
you might get called a bigot for that. maybe I'll be disabled enough as a wheelchair user with a progressive disability to count as having a valid opinion. ill back you up.
(light hearted joking)
I have heel fastidious it’s been 12 weeks and it getting better but when I first wake up I can barely walk it really hurts I’ve been working out anyway I go to the park a do a body weight workout 5 days a week it can be done these people are crybabies and they need to stop it and take accountability for their poor choices
Omg!! I hate when mine acts up, that shit is hella painful. Since i started biking, it's got so much better.
@@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858 I hope you feel better. I usually freeze a bottle of water and roll my foot over it and that helps.
@@venomg5799 yeah, mine used to be much much worse and constant (and in both feet) but since I've lost weight it's gone 99% of the time.
At 1800ish, you are exactly right. We are choosing to be victimized by the choices we have made. We can’t do better until we recognize that. Thank you for this.
its also privilege to have enough food resources to feed yourself until your weight is over 300Lb
Planet fitness is like ...$10 dollars a month. They just have to skip one of their 8 meals a day and done 🙄
That's what i said. Only i think i said a couple of their 11 meals a day.
Good rant. I'm glad I listened to it. I think you're right on the mark. Privilege is so overused that it has become almost meaningless.
I appreciate your videos. FAs upset me when they talk about being oppressed. They have no idea what it means. My uncle (my family is half Thai) was beaten in the streets last year for being Asian and "spreading COVID." I used to be 38.1 BMI and now I am 27.8. It's easy to sit around and accept your negative aspects, which being obese IS negative. It's much harder to be uncomfortable and change yourself for the better.
Gyms are not expensive. You can get a cheap membership for less than 20 euros a month. I'm sure also in the US there are similar programs.
Besides you can work "out" at home, in your garden, hell even at the local park.
These fat activits are insane.
Questions for ya if you don't mind,
The US and Canada we have a disability program do you have a disability program as well?
@@queenpinkysfamily1618 We have many programs aiming at every social category
For instance there are several programs for people with disabilities here in France. They mainly focus on health care, acces to education (including university) and the work field, and also other activities.
During the pandemic I was struggling with mental health issues, and thankfully I could acces to mental health support thanks to my university.
@@khadyadjisall5708 That's awesome I wonder if they offer the same thing that we get here when it comes to gym memberships as long as we pay for it and submit the receipts we get refunded the money.
Most parks also have a workout built-in as well.
spend less on food and you will have the $20 for Planet Fitness. This is INSANE. I have been POOR and nobody needs a gym to be in shape! Are YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fatsaphicbro honestly just latches on to anything that victimizes them even if it makes no sense
You know when I was an overweight teen and I saw my thin friends doing things I couldn't, I didn't call it privilege. It was jealousy.
EDIT: my husband's uncle was going to donate his body to science. It was in his will. They wouldn't take it because he died of Covid. There's so many different ways you get rejected for that. He was overweight when he died but wasn't even a factor.
Any excuse to not go to the gym "If you are disabled and in a wheelchair and the sun is out, you need to wear sunscreen to prevent sun damage and sunscreen is expensive... that is classist!"
Throwing around words and definitions to validate someone's skewed narrative and entitlement will always annoy the crap out of me, these people have such a misinformed and ignorant perception of oppression, they wouldn't be complaining on TikTok if they genuinely knew what it means!
I think the co-option of social justice language by fat acceptance TikTokers are very reminiscent of a pattern of behavior that a lot of regular people, especially those who are dealing with unresolved trauma, can fall into called overstating harm. In essence, overstating harm allows people to escape accountability by weaponizing their perception of being harmed. This frequently happens at an interpersonal level, so I think the political dimensions of overstating harm is also not a new phenomenon. There is a really good book by Sarah Schulman called "Conflict is Not Abuse" that does a really great job explaining how overstating harm is weaponized and gives a great criticism on the culture of blame that everyone from activists to people in toxic relationships may face.
YES they need to crack that book open because Shulman is genuinely invested In making the world a better place and she has participated in genuine activism
Their whole concept of thin privilege falls apart when you analyze the meaning of the world privilege, privilege is something that you were born with for example a person being born into a rich family that's privilege, now someone who was born into a low income family and with the help of education they manage to land a good paying job and achieve a hight status that's a achievement because thy manage to get a good life thanks to work and dedication. The fas like to point it out that naturally skiny people have thin privilege what they failed to realize is that that person probably eats healthy and has an active life, the same can be said to people who were fat or obese and manage to lose weight the fas like to say that they got "temporarily skinny privilege" what they again failed to realize is that that person put effort into getting into a good health by having a better lifestyle and having a more balanced and nutrition diet and having the dedication to maintaining this lifestyle after losing the weight aka achievement
Not to mention that being fat is a privilege. There are people starving to death all over the world. Meanwhile they have been able to routinely abuse food in order to stay that large size. Also junk food costs more than healthy food. The fat people ive known in my life have admitted to spending over 1k month on food.
I love this video so much, thank you soooo much for putting all of this into words. "The term privilege is meaningless and lacks any resemblance to what it originally meant." So well said.
Also, a side note, do these people even think about how much money it costs to buy new clothes ALL the time? If we're gonna use their language, I have less PrIViledGE then them because I don't have that money to blow and only get new clothes like sparingly, when I see something I have to LOVE it.
Also, travelling is a privilege itself! How often do these people 'need to' go on planes? I... UHGHHH. These guys wouldn't know the meaning of privilege if it hit them in the face!
I'm currently pursuing SSI. My therapist says I am disabled, the fact I wasn't legally already is appalling and I need a full team of doctors to help me tackle every individual facet of my mental health. It's currently labeled, my mental health, something along the lines of "autism level 3 with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, complex PTSD and Undefined (possible schizoaffective symptomology pending)". That's the just the mental. I had cancer at 5. I could still get it any day. I have hyermobile Ehler's Danlos syndrome. I'm not in danger of death laying down but standing is agony.
Hearing these people rant about how *privileged I am* because I'm white and skinny makes me wanna vomit on them. I live vicariously through your rants because I get emotionally invested when people are telling me I just don't know any better, don't know what I'm talking about, I'm an exception so of course I don't understand what they're going through.
You know what a lack of privilege is? Having your health problems attributed to your *menstruation.* Being told it's normal to bleed from your butt after a scoping and that you don't know what a normal amount of blood is when you've been doing this for half your life and you know damned well how blood in the toilet bowl works when you're internally bleeding. I needed 2 blood transfusions that day, and if anyone has ever been to a hospital for anemia or anything, you know how stingy they are with doling out blood. Did they apologize after? Repeatedly. But I wasn't believed. My word wasn't valued. My concerns weren't irrelevant.
You're upset you don't get pretty dresses? That's ground breaking for you? I'm upset my life was in someone's hands, who was meant to save me, swore to do no harm and proceeded to tell me to my face, paraphrased, I'm a dumb child who didn't know what "I'm bleeding to death" means. The worst part? They still practice today. My suffering got them no consequences. No one analyzes, no one speaks up. If you're not loud about it, they're happy to pretend it didn't happen. YOU didn't happen. You're an anomaly. Come back to me when you wake up in the ICU with a blood pack funneling directly through an IV because medical malpractice almost cost your life.
I don't care if you "could have died", I want the proof. You can tell me all you want you were discriminated against the doctor because they don't understand you can't diet and exercise but what you need is less of help by this point and more restraint. If a padded cell would suit you better, I have no pity left for you. You bled me dry.
(Apologies OP... this comes from the heart but it's raw and uncut because I have Covid. Your voice soothes me, but fat activists are a hit and miss trigger... please don't feel bad and keep up what you feel passion about because I'm jealous how kind and selfless you're capable of being.)
By their logic, going to school is also classist.🙄
You worded this so eloquently!! It’s so true that so called “social justice” has just become people self-victimizing and calling out the most ridiculous “privileges” in others. More and more “marginalized” subgroups are being created out of first world problems that are frankly non issues
My gym is $30 a month, that's about a dollar a day. If he ate a 2500 calorie diet everyday, that would more than cover the cost. Hell, just keeping your diet the same but only drink tap water would cover it. Literally eating all your money and then complaining about not having money for losing weight is insane.
god i adore your channel so much. everything you said was so perfect and how i feel
this video is superbly articulated and youre very well informed ! hit the nail on the head. good work funtie :)
The word "privlage" is the most over used word: It's totally ridiculous at this point.
The worst part is, society has always created a mode that women need to fit in, and that mode changes constantly. So movements like the body positive should have been the blessing all women needed to accept themselves that aren't in the current mode. But this HAES and fat acceptance has gone way way beyond what women need. It is unhealthy and gives them a a chip on their sholder to sit around blaming everyone else for the fact they have, basically, given up on themselves and being truly healthy in mind, body and soul.
Great video as always! Some excellent point!
This was a REALLY well-spoken opinion piece! You put into words what's been in mine and so many other's heads. I rarely watch a CZcams video that makes me stop and go 'wow!' but this one did.
I like the term “micro-privileges” that explains every “privilege” FA complain about all the time so nicely, you hear that term and it kinda explains itself. Idk what I’m trying to say lol it’s just a nice straight to the pint term that’s easily understandable
This was a great video!! Not just a rant, but a really good breakdown of the social mentality! Keep it up
Lindo Bacon said the same thing about how privilege is a spectrum, and they were completely dogged on!
Exactly. Fatphobia is mistaken misogyny. In the 90's, Margaret Cho lost a television feature because she was "too fat." She was replaced by the Drew Carey show. How many inches do you think his waist is around lmao ,,,
