My coworker’s best friend’s cousin is gay and he doesn’t complain when I call him a fa— DICKHEAD. Why are people so dumb like I just can’t. Anyway so we all know those people who just say stupid shit all the time And you’re like “Hey wha—hey why are you saying that stupid shit?” “Oh it’s just my OPINION!!!” *blink sounds* Like instead of apologizing and being like “oh hey I’m sorry I said that stupid shit” *mouth sounds* I can’t even form words What. Are. You. Doing?! *more mouth sounds* So let’s cut the shit Just cut it Just snip it Just snip it For the 560th time, rape jokes aren’t funny Fat jokes aren’t funny Racist jokes aren’t funny Homophobic jokes aren’t funny *slurred* Trans jokes aren’t funny either This is my pulling apart the tethers of your fucking bad jokes Just falls apart Just ope there it is, that’s the thread of unoriginality There’s the thread of repetitiveness There’s the thread of outdated humor Someone, I don’t even wanna name her name because I don’t wanna give her anymore views Someone made a video called “Dear Fat People” where she essentially rendered fat people useless human beings And then like packaged it in like some faux “I care about your health” bullshit The last time I checked People are usually aware of what they look like Wow, you’re really helping the world, ma’am By telling people they’re fat Ma’am Anyone who thinks that they know what’s going on in any other person’s life enough to judge them and tell them what they should and shouldn’t be doing When you clearly don’t care STOP Yes I’m coming for your edges And I’m bringing coconut oil because you so desperately need it I know you’re afraid of fat, I know But just trust me, just a little bit of coconut oil goes a long way I mean not too much, you don’t want it to look greasy But just enough so that it doesn’t look like dried out hay in the middle of an abandoned farm In the desert At high noon In August There are a few thousand different reason why you’re wrong Let me go through a couple of them Your message is harmful because there are thousands and thousands of young people That will see your video and give up Because they work hard every day to find their self esteem within themselves And you just tore it down in a 6 minute video And it doesn’t even matter if they’ve tried to lose weight or not That’s not the subject That’s not what’s important What’s important is that you’re sending a message to people that they are worthless unless they listen to you Society tells people every day that they’re not good enough You don’t know their journey You don’t know their story You don’t know what they have and haven’t done Or what they want and what they don’t want All you’re concerned with is yourself You’re not trying to help anyone You see yourself in a position of power because you’re not a part of that group And it’s so easy being an outsider in a place of privilege telling people in a marginalized group what they should and shouldn’t do And it’s infuriating And it’s not just this person that I’m talking about It’s so many people It’s the people who supported that video It’s the people who see bigger people out in public and laugh at them or make jokes with their friends about them It’s the people who wear fat suits in parody music videos trying to portray Meghan Trainor or Adele Because these women are confident in the way they look and for some reason that intimidates them Hey guys there’s enough confidence to go around So stop trying to take it from other people to build up your own And say the person you’ve been targeting has been trying to lose weight for weeks or months or years You say you’re not worried about people who have a “little extra baggage” But that makes no sense to me because somehow you expect the people with more baggage to lose weight faster than the people with less baggage If you’re calling for someone to lose half of their body weight or more Do you think that happens in 5 minutes? Stop. Stop. I didn’t write anything down for this video so everything is just coming off the top of my head and I’m sorry if I didn’t finish a thought I hope I did But you can go watch Meghan Tonjes’ video Her response to Dear Fat People Just watch Meghan’s video I’ll put the link in the description box Obviously her voice is much more important to listen to than mine And I hope that whoever has seen that horrible video can see Meghan’s or mine or some other positive thing that will stop them from self-harming or worse And that’s why people need to stop complaining about political correctness too This goes for people making rape jokes Making racist or homophobic or sexist comments because it’s the easiest joke to make And can we stop saying the R word? Like the R-E-T-A don’t Like we can stop that A split second of your thought process is worth it to people who deserve your respect And everyone makes mistakes and no one’s perfect but if you hear the message try to incorporate it into your world I don’t even know where I am in this *stumbling* *deep sigh* Word vomit. But I hope this helped some of you think about some of these things and why it’s important to not make fun of things that people can’t change in 5 minutes My name is Nicola Foti You’re watching soundlyawake I trapezoid you because hearts got too mainstream And I’ll see you in a couple days with a new video Peaces! Don’t forget to check out Meghan’s video! What other favorite things can I talk about? Favorite picture See this? That’s Tagstr I’m gonna open it Do you follow me on Tagstr? If not, why not— *creepy audio message plays* I’m tired of people telling me what I can and can’t say nnnnnnnnnnnnn- —neighbor
