The Fat-Shaming Of Kate Upton; Or Why I'll Never Buy The Difference Between "Thinspiration" And "Pro-Ana" Websites

HelloGiggles:

Kate Upton is fat, everyone.

True, the stunning 20-year-old somehow managed to sneak under the vigilant radar of the Skinny Police and land the cover of Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition, but clearly this honor was undeserved, if not accidental.

Because if we’re to believe the truly motivating, encouraging words of the anonymous, “thinspirational” blogger behind a website called Skinny Gossip, Upton looks “thick, vulgar, almost pornographic” (assuming these are negative physical qualities? I think I know a few men and women who would gladly ogle a body fitting that criteria). Upton appears “lazy,” and “lardy,” has “huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition,” and “looks like a squishy brick” (which is a comparison that perhaps stretches the appropriate boundaries of proper simile usage). She’s likened to both a cow and a pig and the post itself is titled “Kate Upton is Well-Marbled.”

well on her way to being a fat cow, but she will fit in with the other 99 percent of Americans.

What these anorexics fail to grasp is that they're not remotely attractive to anyone but other anorexics. Have at it, girls.

Exactly, anorexic women are just as bad as their complete opposites in the obese category.

You can't be too rich or too jealous.

As a friend of mine was fond of saying, "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers."
