Feedism Ethics - Tumblr Posts

So, on this front: In light of conversations I’ve been observing within the Tumblr Feedist community, I came to a hard decision. I’‘ve decided to remove all of my #belly envy reblogs, which included photos of guys with bellies which I had seen circulating that I wanted to reblog on my own page. Reading the discussions about consent and all that, I felt a bit called out for doing something that could be harmful to others, particularly the individuals depicted in those photos. I came to intuit that I was basically fetishizing them, a common practice in this community. I decided that I didn’t want to perpetuate that. So, I’ve deleted those posts from my Tumblr blog. I think perhaps a more appropriate way to express my admiration/appreciation of those posts would be a simple like. I wish there was a way to organize ones “Likes” on Tumblr (à la DeviantArt), but alas...

My Tumblr Likes

I’m trying to reblog posts that I’ve liked on Tumblr, but it’s becoming clear that that’s not going to happen, and if it does, it’ll be mad tedious. But I just wanna curate posts that I like and are relevant to the main topics of this Tumblr blog (food/recipes, male belly admiration, soft-core/casual gaining, weight gain story writing).

Looking at the posts that I’ve liked that had food/recipes, I’m noticing the trend that most of the ones that I’ve liked are baked goods, fast-food or carb-rich. Maybe that’s indicative of the likelihood that I’ll get fat easily, but what a delightful problem to have!
