You think I don’t see how the hips don’t match up with the guy on the right by a fucking mile because they shrunk down her hips? Or how the pelvis on the guy on the left looks awkwardly shaved off so they could put in the white backdrop so it’s looks like she takes up less space? I fucking notice. And they have the audacity to think they’re doing fat girls a favor by tossing in a few paid male models to grope at her breasts so that for once a fat girl gets to feel wanted. That for once a fat girl gets to feel fuckable by the kind of men that we are told will never want us. Fuck this photoshoot because my body doesn’t need your faux pity acceptance. Rebel Wilson deserves so much more than this. She deserves raw, unforgiving attention because she is a raw, unforgiving person just like the rest of us. fierce as fk ^

Rebel Wilson for Details Magazine

She’s so fab

It’s really fucked up just how much they photoshopped her to look smaller.

You think I don’t see how the hips don’t match up with the guy on the right by a fucking mile because they shrunk down her hips?

Or how the pelvis on the guy on the left looks awkwardly shaved off so they could put in the white backdrop so it’s looks like she takes up less space? I fucking notice.

And they have the audacity to think they’re doing fat girls a favor by tossing in a few paid male models to grope at her breasts so that for once a fat girl gets to feel wanted. That for once a fat girl gets to feel fuckable by the kind of men that we are told will never want us.

Fuck this photoshoot because my body doesn’t need your faux pity acceptance.

Rebel Wilson deserves so much more than this. She deserves raw, unforgiving attention because she is a raw, unforgiving person just like the rest of us.

Just. Damn. This is a very real and effective illustration of what the future may look like for uterus-bearing people if abortion rights are demolished in America. It should make you uncomfortable. You should be startled at the direction our political system has taken. You should be sad and upset that one’s rights over their body is a political issue. A+, HuffPo, A+.
