let me preface this by saying, representation is so important & I absolutely love this. he looks great & many men are seeing their body’s represented in a way they’ve never seen before.

that being said, it’s hard not to notice the difference in the reaction to him vs fat women. https://twitter.com/tranyewest/status/1311986227860701185
again, he deserves all the love and support!! this is no hate AT ALL to him! but the lack of comments that he’s “promoting obesity”, “concern for his health” or just general fatphobic comments is so noticeable. like there are some but not anywhere near the intensity fat women get
I didn’t wanna say anything at first because this is such a positive thing and I didn’t want to bring it up but I just can’t let it go. like the hate that fat woman receive on the internet is violent and horrific and cishet men will never understand or receive that kind of hate
again I don’t wish any of this kind of hate on him!! I think he looks so good and I hope this is just the beginning of seeing representation of different male bodies online!

I just hope one day we can get to a point where if this was a fat woman she would get the same reaction
