Lizzo:  "I Like Being Fat"

 

Lizzo is setting the new standard; morbid obesity is ok. During an interview with People Magazine, she opened up tried to feed us a bunch of bullshit about smashing stereotypes and creating her own body standard. Like Kim Kardashian, Lizzo considers herself a body icon, and is finding power in blazing her own trail. With her meteoric rise to the top, the 33-year-old says she's rejecting the stereotypes that come with her body type.  In other words, she's weak and has given up.

 

"I think I have a really hot body! I'm a body icon, and I'm embracing that more and more every day," she spoke on changing the set definition of beautiful.  "It may not be one person's ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone's ideal, but she's a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard.".

 

She continued, "And what I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard.". She also elaborated on how women like her are often put in a specific box based on their appearance and how she'd like to free them from the "fat girl" stereotype.

 

 

Lizzo listed the different tropes: "The funny, fat friend. I played that trope in high school. Or the friend who is gonna beat your ass 'cause she's big.  Huh?  Friends beat up their fat friends?  Or it's the big girl who's insecure 'cause she's big.". "I don't think I'm the only kind of fat girl there is. I want us to be freed from that box we've been put in ... we all know I'm fat, but fat doesn't have to be a negative word.  I know I'm fat. It doesn't bother me. I like being fat, and I'm beautiful and I'm healthy. So can we move on?".   Um, no ... because she is sending out a very unhealthy and dangerous message to her fans the idiots who believe she has some kind of discernible talent.

 

Lizzo also spoke about her awareness of not only being a black woman in America but also being a black woman in America who doesn't fit into the "standard" body type and how it made her "cynical" before she decided to change the narrative as she found more and more success (looks pretty standard to me).  "I was like,  'OK, what can I do with this? How can I make the best of this? (Going on a diet and becoming healty wasn't an option?). I wasn't supposed to survive.  You're actually lucky to still be amongst the living. I wasn't supposed to make it this far. I wasn't supposed to be a millionaire. I wasn't supposed to be a sex symbol," Lizzo said that smashing glass ceilings brought her to a new conclusion. "So how can I make this worthwhile?   How can I make this not just a flash in the pan?".

 

Actually, from where I'm sitting, she sadly IS typical, and IS lucky to be amongst the living, and IS a sex symbol (to weirdos with morbid obesity fetishes called "feeders"), and most definitely IS a flash in the (greasy frying) pan.  Yeah she's a "Queen" alright ... of da Nile.
