Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

because humans don't point out overweight in other humans for health reasons. that's a lie, they're only commenting on your looks. if it was about health, they would comment on other things like drinking or sleeping habits, but saying you've been up partying and drinking the whole week only gets you a "cool!!!!"

yeah nobody ever says 'hey that's enough drinks' or 'hey you have raccoon eyes you okay'

yes, the raccoon eyes are also a comment on the looks. if you say you haven't slept but look fine isn't a problem. if you're fat but have good health isn't enough for them.

i frequently get asked if my makeup is running because i'm perpetually exhausted from working two jobs, and when i tell people i'm not wearing makeup and that's just how my face looks, literally no one has ever made it into a case about physical beauty. it's always "omg i'm so sorry are you going to be alright?? take some time off, get some rest, don't work yourself to death." and idk maybe i'm the asshole for thinking they are actually concerned about my health and not just saying that because they don't want to look at the dark circles under my eyes because it aesthetically displeases them.

and to your other point, if you just say you haven't slept but you still look fine, people will assume you're probably exaggerating or just making conversation via hyperbole because you're not showing any visible symptoms of legit exhaustion. yet. the concern will come when people can actually see that you're not in a good way.

i'm a whiter than white girl and very anemic and i constantly have dark circles under my eyes. they get worse the more tired i get, sometimes to the point where i've had people think i've been hit and have black eyes.

sometimes it just is what it is. i'm not going to pile on pounds of makeup to hide something that's going to be there no matter how good/bad i feel.
