Like a lot of people, I spend a lot of time on The Internetz™. So, hopefully, you’ll hear a little less anger and a bit more chill in the edits I’ve mad e. You could see the steam rising from this post, it came in so hot. Truth be told, I’ve calmed down a lot since this piece was first written, and I wanted this whole post to just relax. I’ve edited the piece to be more informational than inflammatory. My vision for this piece when I wrote it was for it to be a helpful resource, especially to those who are new to the fat community or trying to onboard newbies to the wonderful world of size oppression conversations, and I’m so glad that it has been used in that way. I’ve also updated the image because, frankly, it was hard to read! I tried to cram everything into one image, but it’s just impossible to include everything in one image and not make a cluttered mess. I included history and context for the term “super fat” that I did not understand when I wrote this (h/t to the fats who educated me on this after this piece was published), and I changed the format to be more of a neutral explainer. I updated the definition of “deathfat” and credited author and fat activist Lesley Kinzel with creating the term (with sincere apologies to Lesley for causing misunderstanding). I’ve removed the “White Fragility” framework because WOW that did not age well, and I should never have used it. Updated, May 2021: I wrote this piece in 2019 and it was long overdue for an update.
