Wait until you hear her speak. I honestly don't care that she's heavy; shes such an insufferable twat. A real feminist wouldn't tell other women how much cake they're allowed to eat, Virgie.
A little, maybe? This is her bread and butter as an author and journalist though, and stuff like this article and that video are par for the course with her. I think the most likely scenario is she figured out she can get money for saying shit like this on the internet and is running a grift.
Jesus Christ. Sheās so obsessed with what other people think of her she canāt enjoy the piece of cake she wants to enjoy without everyone else eating the same amount? Not everyone likes to eat a fuckton of cake you stupid idiot. Not everyone even likes cake. Jesus fuck.
Can you imagine not realizing that youāre literally sending the opposite message of what you āintendedā with this video?
Yeah I'm a dude and I don't like cake. I still bake/buy them for my family but I don't partake. I prefer a whole ass block of chocolate to myself, yet if I so no thanks I'm fat phobic? These people have no real adversity in their lives and have to come up with some way to be the victim for that sweet sweet sympathy
That's the one thing I takeaway from alot of the people in the fat acceptance community, is that being fat is their whole personality. Every tiktok/reel is only about being fat š. Like do you have no hobbies?
Youāre kidding me. What I just saw someone got paid to createā¦ man this country is in serious trouble. You need to be real with yourself. Eating yourself to obesity or even close to it is clearly an issue in large part of not all due to cultural and dietary differences to that of literally every other country. Iām all for the war on fat though love the people underneath and sure some stuff is medical or from age even then. Sheās delusional š¤¦š»āāļøAND she wonāt allow comments on that video
Also that cake looks pretty disgusting. Like, fine for an eight year old's birthday party but not for a middle aged woman to be so obsessed over that she takes it as a personal insult if you don't want a big slice.
As an old lady, I am here to say all cake is pretty great. Even bad cake is a delicacy after two or three manhattans. Which, consequently is the fuel I think Tovar is running on with her backhanded support and dead grandma clothes.
CAKE FOR EVERYONE
Wow she is a narcissist. She thinks people all like cake all the time? I don't ever really eat cake but I don't eat particularly healthy, it's just not something I enjoy. So I'm fat phobic if I ask for no cake? This woman has never faced the real world obviously.
That sounds an awful like the Christian anti-gay bigots who assume that every man has the same "sinful temptations" as they do, when actually they are just gay and repressed.
The presentation seems tongue in cheek to me but I couldn't relate much so I quit halfway. Is it an American thing that someone cuts your cake for you? Here we all cut our own, so its as small a slice as you want it.
It's not that uncommon for someone to be manning the cake at a party and cutting several pieces, letting people pick which piece they want. It's equally common for this person to ask their coworkers/friends how big a piece they want. At an office or large birthday party it's just easier to have one person with the knife, or let a parent choose how big the slices are for the children at the party.
a) What is she doing with her eyebrows? Itās like theyāre on pogo sticks.
b) I have never heard someone complain about how much (or little) another person eats in their presence. Jesus, lady, just bc someone wants less cake, it doesnāt have to be about you at all.
You're having a go at.me.because I rational limits for my own health and safety?! I don't drink 20 pints of beer as I know I'll probably throw up, I don't keep on eating more than I want or need as I don't need it and don't enjoy it. Most people aren't greedy. Get over it.
Of course the comments are turned off. Look, Iām a big dude myself and I find these sorts insufferable. Itās ok to partake in a burger and some fries but as my girlfriend calls it, thatās āsometimes foodsā and for her to pull the tactics she does is wild.
As if it's really putting the cake server out to cut a smaller piece. Hey Virgie some people are concerned about the amount of fat and sugar they're putting into their body. Just because you can't stop doesn't make that normal Behavior. Every single party I've ever attended the cake cutter has always said how big of a piece do you want. So we're supposed to cut extremely large pieces of cake in equal portions and hand them out to everyone so that she doesn't feel bad for eating twice as much as everybody else.
She looks worse in motion somehow. I've never seen or heard of a "fat activist", but that's probably because they'd die two blocks into their own parade.
They advocate for the rights of fat people. While they sometimes have good points and are correct that fat people deserve to be treated with dignity like everyone else, FAs are often characterized by a persecution complex bordering on fetishistic and conflate being fat with actual minority statuses like blackness or gayness. Seriously, I can't count how many dumb Tumblr takes I've seen where OOP thinks existing while fat is somehow inherently tied to being black, or calling fat phobia the last acceptable form of bigotry. Extreme cases will gatekeep being fat, where smallfats and midfats need to make room in the movement for deathfats (not my term) and uplift fatter, "more marginalized" voices in the community. And nothing is ever good enough: a company offering 6XL clothes is fatphobic because they're less available, or they're more expensive, or they don't have the style I like, or they should have 7XL too, or a million other nitpicks that make baby Jesus cry.
Someone saying they'd rather eat pizza than be a size zero? Technically a fat activist but not really in the spirit of the definition. Romanticizing overeating, policing artist's fanart of their own OCs, or writing a ten thousand word essay full of pseudoscience on why weight loss is physiologically impossible? Now we're deep in fat activist country.
Poe's Law. I promise Virgie Tovar is very serious, or an extremely dedicated troll. She's also a motivational speaker who sells classes on how to love your fat body or some shit. This article and that video are a great microcosm of her career.

She looks exactly like how I imagined.
