204: Part 2: NYT "Confessions of a Former Body Positivity Influencer": What It Gets Wrong
from Fierce Fatty Podcast · host Vinny Welsby
In part 2 of this analysis of the NYT opinion video "Confessions of a Former Body Positivity Influencer," we look at the tension between individual weight loss choices and the political goals of fat liberation. We talk about how formerly fat influencers sometimes become the loudest critics of fatness, and why it feels so painful for fans and followers of so-called "body positive" influencers who seemingly collude with systems of oppression and turn their backs on a marginalized community.
