Posting this because I figure someone else might benefit from these tutorials, they’re awesome.
Another preview page of Poorcraft: Wish You Were Here, the Poorcraft guide to travel and adventure written by globetrotter Ryan Estrada and illustrated by supercartoonist Diana Nock. This is page 25, part of the chapter on making air travel as painless as possible.
We’re shooting for a December Kickstarter for the book. Until then, you can still buy the original Poorcraft from me or Amazon, or get a $5.00, DRM-free PDF from Gumroad!
Because telling fat people that they are in fact humans that deserve dignity and respect automatically means you’re ~*GLORIFYING OBESITY*~
By the way, don’t dribble on to me saying you worry about a fat person’s ‘health’. That’s just a bullshit excuse to voice your unwanted opinion on a fat person’s body considering you wouldn’t give a single flying fuckadoodle about someone’s health if they were skinny. Besides another person’s health is none of your damned business anyway. Run along now and preach to a choir that actually cares.
I’m going to be honest, so long as you’re not hurting anyone, you can eat soy sauce and milk duds all day long for all I care.
EDIT: Let me say that I don’t think skinny people don’t get shit either. I’ve seen a lot of people saying that they get a lot of comments on their size because they’re seen as being unhealthy, too. Sorry about my poor choice of words. It sucks when people tell you that you’re not allowed to feel a certain way because you look a certain way (ie: your thin privilege means your feelings never get hurt you don’t know what it’s like!!!)
