Okay this is a BRILLIANT illustration of how the fast fashion industry devours literally everybody it touches, but knowing what I know about models, I'm willing to bet these people JUMPED at the chance to look exactly as they feel on a bad day on the runway and not be fired for it.

I really cannot overemphasize how based it is that the dungeon meshi fanart community has collectively decided that Falin is fat. Truly a historic W for anime girl likers everywhere. We need to set this as a precedent for all future popular anime - if no women in the cast are fat, the artists must pick at least one of those characters and draw them fat with absolutely no explanation or justification provided. This must continue until the people who make anime realize what they're missing out on by not putting this shit in the source material.

[“Some parents seemed almost to fetishize the disparity between themselves and the children they sought to adopt. As one blogger wrote, “No one can get any poorer than our Bethie is. . . . We, by contrast, have all the power in the world.” That focus seemed to slide from acknowledging poor children’s struggles to denigrating kids the adoption movement kept referring to as “the least of these,” as when another adoptive mother to six described herself as “a dumpster diving orphan lunatic” who was still “afflicted with my Orphan Obsession” after adopting four kids and birthing two. “I am already part of a tribe of women that by much of the world’s standards have a disorder,” she wrote. “We wake up at night with visions of orphans going through our heads” and are fixated, she continued, on “match-making” their friends with orphans they had seen pictures of online. “Like the woman diving headfirst for the day old bread and barely ripe red bell peppers we dream and obsess over capturing and saving human treasures from being thrust into a decaying dump where they will be lost forever.”

(…) Some simply proclaim adoption as a great way to make converts. Adoption is better than simply sending money, followers have suggested, because adopting gives an opportunity to save a soul that aid alone will not. As one Christian blogger wrote when arguing against simply sponsoring children in their home countries, “You cannot make a disciple out of a child you barely see.” Cheryl Ellicott, an evangelical foster care proponent, goes further yet in her book, This Means War. A foster mother to more than fifty, Ellicott wrote, “Your main goal is not to raise well-adjusted children, but rather to bring the life-changing message of the Gospel to lost souls. If you work with a troubled, damaged child and he never becomes a successful or productive citizen, but he believes the Gospel and has a saving faith in Jesus Christ, you have succeeded. Adoption is a ministry to unsaved souls.”]

Pour one out for a real one.

Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as ‘proof’, asserting that Money didn’t have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.

A quote I really like from him: ‘Nature loves diversity, society hates it’
