Muted this but I love Jack Black, fat people are rad, seeing fat people be loud, joyous, and successful will never stop beyond radical and important and of you want to "ummm actually" about any of that, why don't you get fucked.
Jack Black is a celebrity. He's a movie star. He's a rock star. He oozes charisma and sex appeal and charm. It absolutely kills me that people find 100 ways to talk around this, 99 of them because he's fat.
(also so great and important: note he does not say that when fat people start singing/ commanding the stage people "forget" they're fat or "don't care" about it. Not the case, not possible, not the point. They're just fat AND cool at the same time and EVERYONE KNOWS AND SEES IT.
Me, a fat person: I love that Jack Black is fat, like me, it's amazing to see that representations!
A not fat stranger in my mentions: you shouldn't reduce people to their bodies just because it makes you feel better about yourself
Me:
(and for anyone who is like NO ONE SAYS BAD THINGS ABOUT JACK BLACK!! SHE'S LYING! 1. they DO say shitty things about him and 2. I literally tweeted because of a tweet with 9k RTs talking about how JB isn't a "celebrity" but a character actor and it pissed me off.)
and yeah! To all the people lecturing in my mentions on how this tweet "fetishizes" fat people ... why don't you read the anthology I edited by 30 fat people and come back for a real convo? Get it!!
THE (OTHER) F WORD is the first YA anthology about fat acceptance. It's 30 fat voices creating a new way to love and celebrate your body for teens and anyone new to the fat acceptance movement. Get

@misskubelik
they're not defending him, and I'm close to positive he'd agree with everything you've said based on how he's handled conversations on the topic 💀
