Fuck, my legs are jacked shit. I'm knock-kneed, bow-legged, I have little kid legs. I do not give a fuck. I'm not obsessed with my appearance like hams are. I don't need to be told that I have perfect smoking hot legs to wear whatever shorts I want; I just don't feel all the inner shame that it's my fault because it's not. However, the cellulite is their fucking fault, and they know that everyone knows it. So they go over and over again, "no you're wrong, I don't overeat, I do exercise enough, I don't have poor impulse control," because they know that we know their dirty little secrets. Notice that this isn't Ugly People Hate. There's no Ugly Pride movement. We're tired of your bad habits using and abusing the world.

Agreed. I do what I can to make myself look presentable by controlling what I can (eg weight) but I'm not gonna get butthurt when someone tells me I look too pale or freckley because that's not something I feel any shame about. You don't feel shame when things are ACTUALLY out of your control.

I don't know. I've read some interesting things about how black kids feel about their skin color and shit like that. The group of people with poor self-maintenance habits don't need to be empowered though since they're not actually marginalized. They're simply embarrassing themselves. I don't know what kind of bullshit enfattenment they're preaching, but happy people realize you can only control yourself, not others. If you feel embarrassed, stop embarrassing yourself. No one likes to feel that way, yet pretty near all humans find it funny or cringey when it's not them. Tough shit.
