Internalized Fatphobia and Pinterest Mood Boards

Jordan Theresa did a splendid video essay about the whitewashing and fatphobia of Pinterest aesthetics as well as how hypocritical they are.

Sometimes I feel like people don't understand the impact of their actions, so with that being said, I will explain this to you. I

I feel like Pinterest aesthetics come and go as time further progresses on (duh), but for some reason I feel like I can't participate in trends like "siren core" or "coquette/dollette" because of my weight.

(I will not lose weight and spend money on clothing that will not fit me in the longer run either).

With that being said, white supremacy is not a Pinterest mood board. I feel as if gen z has a problem that's evolved into aestheticizing racism and fatphobia. It makes me feel like I have to look a certain way to be one thing, which is troublesome in itself because identity is very complex, and you don't have to fit into one category if you don't want to.

I shouldn't feel ugly for participating in a trend, or trying to experiment with my personal taste just because I don't fit the mold or cookie cutter stereotype of what I should look like (and neither should you).

I also want to point out that there are so many people who try to control the boundaries of what something 'is' or 'isn't' without the basic background knowledge or the historical context of what it means to say/do the things they do in their daily lives.

To be fair, social media has shaped (and dissolved) the barriers of what it means to participate in common subcultures, communities, and social niches. But with that barrier comes the problems that affect everyday people within under systemic, institutional, and cultural frameworks (racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, classism, homophobia, xenophobia) and that all of these things are not ranked in importance but instead linked together in a way that marginalized those who are not in the majority.

Lastly, I feel as if people have trouble identifying the problem, but they want to be the main ones holding someone else accountable. I feel like they just say, 'abolish the system' and don't acknowledge how we can prevent the problem from happening in the first place as if our actions aren't affected under the circumstances of these systems-we seen this with 'eat the rich' in 2020.

Therefore, we shouldn't only work on being more inclusive, but we should more specifically accommodate those who we include in the terms of diversity and inclusion in order to stray away from tokenism.
