I’m tired of people telling me what I can and can’t say n—

Dickhead. Fat people.

Am I right? Dickhead.

My coworker’s best friend’s cousin is gay and he doesn’t complain when I call

him a fa— DICKHEAD.

Why are people so dumb like I just can’t. Anyway so we all know those people who just

say stupid shit all the time And you’re like

“Hey wha—hey why are you saying that stupid shit?”

“Oh it’s just my OPINION!!!” *blink sounds*

Like instead of apologizing and being like “oh hey I’m sorry I said that stupid shit”

*mouth sounds* I can’t even form words

What. Are. You. Doing?! *more mouth sounds*

So let’s cut the shit Just cut it

Just snip it Just snip it

For the 560th time, rape jokes aren’t funny Fat jokes aren’t funny

Racist jokes aren’t funny Homophobic jokes aren’t funny

*slurred* Trans jokes aren’t funny either This is my pulling apart the tethers of your

fucking bad jokes Just falls apart

Just ope there it is, that’s the thread of unoriginality

There’s the thread of repetitiveness There’s the thread of outdated humor

Someone, I don’t even wanna name her name because I don’t wanna give her anymore views

Someone made a video called “Dear Fat People” where she essentially rendered fat people

useless human beings And then like packaged it in like some faux

“I care about your health” bullshit The last time I checked

People are usually aware of what they look like

Wow, you’re really helping the world, ma’am By telling people they’re fat

Ma’am Anyone who thinks that they know what’s

going on in any other person’s life enough to judge them and tell them what they should

and shouldn’t be doing When you clearly don’t care

STOP Yes I’m coming for your edges

And I’m bringing coconut oil because you so desperately need it

I know you’re afraid of fat, I know But just trust me, just a little bit of coconut

oil goes a long way I mean not too much, you don’t want it to look

greasy But just enough so that it doesn’t look

like dried out hay in the middle of an abandoned farm

In the desert At high noon

In August There are a few thousand different reason

why you’re wrong Let me go through a couple of them

Your message is harmful because there are thousands and thousands of young people

That will see your video and give up Because they work hard every day to find their

self esteem within themselves And you just tore it down in a 6 minute video

And it doesn’t even matter if they’ve tried to lose weight or not

That’s not the subject That’s not what’s important

What’s important is that you’re sending a message

to people that they are worthless unless they listen to you

Society tells people every day that they’re not good enough

You don’t know their journey You don’t know their story

You don’t know what they have and haven’t done

Or what they want and what they don’t want All you’re concerned with is yourself

You’re not trying to help anyone You see yourself in a position of power because

you’re not a part of that group And it’s so easy being an outsider in a

place of privilege telling people in a marginalized group what they should and shouldn’t do

And it’s infuriating And it’s not just this person that I’m

talking about It’s so many people

It’s the people who supported that video It’s the people who see bigger people out

in public and laugh at them or make jokes with their friends about them

It’s the people who wear fat suits in parody music videos trying to portray Meghan Trainor

or Adele Because these women are confident in the way

they look and for some reason that intimidates them

Hey guys there’s enough confidence to go around

So stop trying to take it from other people to build up your own

And say the person you’ve been targeting has been trying to lose weight for weeks

or months or years

You say you’re not worried about people who have a “little extra baggage”

But that makes no sense to me because somehow you expect the people with more baggage to

lose weight faster than the people with less baggage

If you’re calling for someone to lose half of their body weight or more

Do you think that happens in 5 minutes? Stop.

Stop. I didn’t write anything down for this video

so everything is just coming off the top of my head and I’m sorry if I didn’t finish

a thought I hope I did

But you can go watch Meghan Tonjes’ video

Her response to Dear Fat People Just watch Meghan’s video

I’ll put the link in the description box Obviously her voice is much more important

to listen to than mine And I hope that whoever has seen that horrible

video can see Meghan’s or mine or some other positive

thing that will stop them from self-harming or worse

And that’s why people need to stop complaining about political correctness too

This goes for people making rape jokes Making racist or homophobic or sexist comments

because it’s the easiest joke to make And can we stop saying the R word? Like the

R-E-T-A don’t Like we can stop that

A split second of your thought process is worth it to people who deserve your respect

And everyone makes mistakes and no one’s perfect

but if you hear the message try to incorporate it into your world

I don’t even know where I am in this *stumbling* *deep sigh*

Word vomit. But I hope this helped some of you think about

some of these things and why it’s important to not make fun of things that people can’t

change in 5 minutes My name is Nicola Foti

You’re watching soundlyawake I trapezoid you because hearts got too mainstream

And I’ll see you in a couple days with a new video

Peaces! Don’t forget to check out Meghan’s video!

What other favorite things can I talk about? Favorite picture

See this? That’s Tagstr

I’m gonna open it Do you follow me on Tagstr?

If not, why not— *creepy audio message plays*

I’m tired of people telling me what I can and can’t say nnnnnnnnnnnnn-
