i’m sure someone has said it already but have you noticed the “comfy girl” romanticization

doesn’t extend to fat people?

a thin girl wearing sweats and a messy bun and old t-shirts or jerseys and slippers and etc. is cute and so loveable and sexy and girl next door like

but a fat girl in the same exact outfit is sloppy and lazy and unattractive and must mean she doesn’t care about her appearance and doesn’t take care of herself

The further you are from the thin/cis/white/etc. definition of “beauty”, the more intensely you are expected to perform femininity as a way to “make up for” your failure to be perfect.

What a perfectly succinct way to put it.
