Ooh this article is soooo much better. https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/insatiable-netflix-fatphobia

Yep I’ve flagged a bunch, dismissed a bunch, and even reached out to Jezebel on Twitter, but the days of this being a well modded somewhat safe space for feminists are long gone. The staff doesn’t care as long as they get the clicks, that’s why articles like this that are guaranteed to bring the trolls are…

So a show about a polyamorous kinky queer mom with a husband, two boyfriends, and lots of other partners, who has a fulfilling career and spends her nights at goth bars, metal concerts, and sex clubs isn’t interesting to you because she’s fat?

Also, since so many people still don’t get this: YOU CANNOT TELL SOMEONE’S…

Yeah, it’s really shameful. The amount of vitriol I’ve received from my comment above is astounding.Jezebel has become a cesspool and Lindy would be so disappointed. It’s why nowadays I spend my time on Bitch Media, Racked and Everyday Feminism instead. Definitely check out Racked’s  recent series on the body positive…

Honestly some of these replies have me thinking that:

A) Netflix hired people to defend the show on negative articles and comments

God you people are THE WORST. Why are you commenting here? You’re obviously not feminists and/or people with intelligence or a soul.

Paula

Too bad for you.

God you are the worst. Fuck off you fatphobic piece of shit. I’m kicking myself for ungreying you.

Yes to all of this!

Someone who isn’t into hair/make-up when they are fat isn’t going to magically go all femme once they lose weight. It’s insulting to think that fat people don’t care about looking nice while fat (which ties into why there’s such a lack of cute plus-size clothing)

I was thin as a teen, but I know of teens who have wished for illness to lose weight. Have you never heard of bulimia? Sufferers literally THROW UP CONSTANTLY to lose weight. What world are you living in?

You’ve never been fat, so you should STFU about these issues. The fact that you assume I want to lose weight tells…

Yep. Love it when so-called feminists show their asses around these issues.

The amount of people in these comments defending this trash...

Really? “It’s always something” that’s your take?

Trans people taking issue with non-trans casting in trans roles

Wah wah it’s always something

Gay people being frustrated by stereotypical and homophobic representations

I’d just like to say thank you to the government for preventing children from dying in a fire at this awesome and cool big ass treehouse that is also probably a death trap.

Good point! I’ve just seen too often someone try to honestly engage with these people so they get ungrayed and their vile comments end up at the top of the comment feed.

Dismiss, Flag, Ignore!

Lol I’ve already got a TERF reply basically saying “Why are you so mean to us we just want to be able to hate Trans women without consequences!” Like I care about your feelings when I’ve got trans people in my life facing daily discrimination and violence.

Yay!

Also, please remember to keep transphobes and TERFs in the grays where they belong. No one needs to see that.

“First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is…

Our “journalists” have failed us and they carry a lot of responsibility in helping Trump get elected. I’ll take honest, outraged bloggers any day over their “both sides” bull shit. We’re in a fucking humanitarian crisis, now is not the time for outdated decorum.
