ive said this already but we need to pay more attention to thin/average ppl using terms like “dad bod” “fluffy” et al to keep distancing themselves from the somehow controversial fact that fat people may ACTUALLY be attractive

like keep telling yourself its a dad bod ok your loss just accept the fact that you think fat people are sexy bc we are lol

i dont hate the term btw i actually find it endearing sometimes and like to be told i have one its just so transparent when someone uses it constantly instead of just admitting we r hot LOL

ofc not all people with a “dad bod” are like “fat” (its kind of nebulous ig as a descriptor) but like its so commonplace instead of just entertaining the idea that a thin or fit person is not the default

and that body fat in general is abnormal or taboo to be attracted to. it pushes fatphobic & disordered eating narratives and also pushes the taboo farther so that the only people who admit we are attractive are weirdo chasers lol
