We’re made to feel that we aren’t fat in the right way. Seeing plus size models as our only rep only ends up setting out a new, impossible goal for fat people. This should be normalized.įat people deserve art and media that reflect fat bodies honestly. Do not let fat bodies be alien to you, do not otherize us. Please take the time to look at fat bodies that aren’t marketable and appreciate them for their own worth, beauty, and fortitude. They are not indicative of how most fat bodies look. Too many people base their understanding of fat bodies on plus size models, who are photoshopped, molded with cut outs, and chosen specifically because of how they still fit conventional beauty standards. zero acknowledgement of how fatness actually works.Īnyways!

We’re thicc and thick and “chubby” and plus size.īut we’re never actually fat. the fat character still has the perfect figure because “well, some fat people DO still have curves like that!” they apologize with hyper feminine outfits or the implication that the fat character is athletic or something.
