let me just say a few things about ‘all about that bass’ real quick

1. it’s a song about body positivity and we don’t get many of those so can we just take that into consideration please
2. i know people are kicking off about her using the phrase “skinny bitches” but she does follow it up with “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”  she’s taken an insult commonly given to slim women and basically a said so what if you are skinny/skinny but you think you’re fat, YOU’RE STILL PERFECT 
3. i’ve seen shit loads of people saying it makes them feel more confident, and slim women get a ton of media reinforcing the idea that their body is perfect anyway
4. IT’S CATCHY AS FUCK 

SHHHH SHHHH SHUT UP SHHHHHHH YOU CAN STILL LIKE IT BUT YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE IT’S PROBLEMATIC AND WHY. to be brief it is not body positive or feminist because: a) it features pretty much only small/socially acceptable fats b) it bases self esteem on the fact that men want to fuck you c) it uses people of color as props basically d) it puts down one body type to uplift another and no I’m not just talking about the skinny bitches line. so pls stop treating this song like some kind of body posi anthem it’s really not it’s a mainstream watered down version of body positivity that alienates other body types on both ends of the spectrum and it’s really not a good representation of the movement k thanks
