Disney fans to avoid

The hair color equals diversity fan:
Look at all the hair colors. There's a blonde, a brunette, and a red head! So much diversity!

The it wouldn't be accurate fan:
Stop complaining, there are like four princesses of color and you want more. That would be historically inaccurate.

The I wish there were more white princesses that looked like me fan:
I wish that more blonde haired a blue eyed princesses because I can't relate to any of the other white ones.

Representation is Vitally Important–

today a Mechoopda Maidu adult came into the office and looked through our language resource books, found a child’s coloring book with Maidu words under each illustration. As she traced the words with her index finger she started crying.

Thin Privilege

thinpeopleareawesome:

because I work out 2 hours 3 days a week and you sit at home on the couch eating unhealthy shit everyday.

both lifestyles are fine. People of all body types and shapes can exercise the same amount, if not more, and still be their body size and shape. Exercise is not exclusively an activity for people with thin or athletic bodies. Thin privilege is having media promote only slender, thin, and athletic bodies, while shaming everyone who doesn’t fit into that category. (there is more to it than that, however.) Discussing thin privilege is not shaming people with thin, slender, or athletic bodies, it is about extending perceptions of beauty, in western cultures, to include all body types and sizes.
