staxxywhat a fabulous thread.
and Ajka RULES for the very polite "take it elsewhere" post followed by the more poignant "what the hell is your problem?" post directed to the woman who was posting with no actual pertinent information to give. I was seriously annoyed by her.
keep your psychosis in your own pants sweetie. I don't normally go off at people, but GODDAMN IT did she PISS ME OFF. I was ok with her, UNTIL SHE STARTED TO GET BITCHY ABOUT BEING ASKED TO LEAVE. Talk about not the right place or the right time. Good lord people. It's one thing to make a post to compliment or admire, or if you actually have information that is definitely pertinent to the thread, but Jesus. If it was going to be a "clothes don't fit *my* body right" thread, that is what it would have been CALLED in the FIRST PLACE!.
I have read some LJ posts about it. I have read the entire thread, and posted... a couple of times... HOWEVER. this just me RANTING. I shan't be emailing the offender because I do not *know* her. If I were to *meet* her I would tell her in *person* just exactly how much and why she pissed me off with her attitude and total lack of comprehension.
But until that time comes, here it is for you:
by saying she found a cloak in size 14 at the Red Light so "there's hope" she was implying that that was as high as anyone would need a size to be.. or that size 14 was even remotely close to size 24, or even more that it never occurred to her that there might be sizes over 14.
talk about denying your existence. Perhaps it is her own body image issues that make her think that she is as large as people might ever come. I have no idea. I do know that if you are a plus size, you *know* you are a plus size. there is no doubt about it. If you have any room to doubt about it, you probably don't actually need to worry about it.
But I have to say that the comments that followed were WAY OVER THE TOP! JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE WE ARE GOTHS IT DOESNT MEAN WE HAVE TO TURN EVERY GODDAMN CONVERSATION INTO AN EXCUSE FOR FUCKING DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grow the FUCK UP!. The Bashing of skinny people that occurred on the thread for a few posts was just as bad as the bashing of fat was in the one comment, perhaps more so because of the NUMBER of posts. Good god.
the only bright spots in the whole thing are few women that didn't rise to the occasion (*sigh* of which I am unfortunately *not* one). namely Jilli (who truly is a voice of reason) and Deirdre (whose only comment was a posted envy of the ability to actually FILL out a corset.) Thank you both ladies. It is good to have friends like the two of you on my side to keep me sane. :)
