Wanting to be thin isn’t a fringe perspective, nor is it edgy. It is the dominant narrative in a profoundly anti-fat culture. And in this particular moment, making media about how it’s okay to want to be thin also acts as de facto advertising for some of the wealthiest corporations in the world.

LRP This is a big reason I can't stand male-dominated hobby spaces and shy away from those hobbies; I just want to relax and have fun, man, I'm not going to sit there and get yelled at for not doing (or owning) the optimal whatever. Why would you turn hobbies into work?

8-10 years ago I used to be in a lot of online hobby spaces. They had long had a 'optimisation culture' where a many folk didn't do stuff guided by enjoyment, but by following an 'optimal' path....

I say this often, but these folks and their supposedly frictionless technologies are the most antisocial people imaginable. The technology is an thinly veiled excuse for their power fantasies where they never have to interact or deal with another human being.

Oh yeah, definitely. I'm not exactly a film connoisseur, but the Before trilogy is one of my favorites in large part because it's just him (and the equally phenomenal Julie Delpy) talking.
