There needs to be more body positive songs in pop culture and I think this is a great contribution. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING.

this is rly cute

#SLAAAAY!!!!!

Holy shit this video is fucking adorable

THE OUTFITS!

“body positive”

shits on skinny people and then goes lol jk

yeah okay, if your body positivity involves making fun of other bodies and putting them down to bring up another one thats not body positivity at all, even if its “oh we’re just kidding!! ur all beautiful lol :))”

Guava has a good point. It’s refreshing to hear songs that are positive about larger bodies but the fact that it is negative towards skinnier women is problematic. 

“She’s putting down skinny people” is something you’re only saying if you didn’t actually listen to the song, or if you have really really selective hearing.

Here’s the full lyric:

I’m bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that
No I’m just playing I know you think you’re fat
But I’m here to tell ya
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

THIS IS BODY POSITIVITY FOR ALL SIZES. She is actively trashing the notion of “curves are great, fuck skinny people” that we so often hear in fat-positive media. She literally says it, in plain english, right there, you’re not bad because you’re skinny, I know you have body image problems too.

Instead of jumping on the “hate the thing” bandwagon, how about we actually do our research first? Thanks.

This video completely SHATTERS any form of negativity towards ANY AND ALL body types, and I hope to see much much more of this all over! Let’s stop hating and start loving people for exactly who they are~!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. this song is absolute shit for the body positive movement, no matter what way you slice and dice it and here’s why:

“Yeah, my momma she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, boys they like a little more booty to hold at night
You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll,
So, if that’s what’s you’re into
Then go ahead and move along”

So, we’re still trying to adhere to hetero-normative stereotype in the sense that a woman’s beauty is based on whether or not a man approves of her body? What’s wrong with “stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll” women? It’s their choice to look however they want. I can understand your own choice in not wanting to look that way but don’t put down other women who do.

“Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches Hey
No, I’m just playing I know you think you’re fat,
But I’m here to tell you that,
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top”

Skinny bitches? Fucking seriously? I don’t care if you add a “No I’m Just playing” right after saying that. It’s bullshit and perpetuates the idea that women should dislike each other based on their body sizes. And what’s wrong with calling ourselves fat? If the shoe fits, I sure as hell am going to wear it.

“I’m all ‘bout that bass, ‘bout that bass, no treble“ 

So basically you’re saying that bigger women are better than skinny women. Wow. Isn’t it just so empowering for women when they still feel the need to put other body types down just to feel good about themselves.

So great job on attempting to promote fat and body acceptance! You did such a lovely job, Meghan!
