Plus-size models

[Kalinoche buenanoche]

Whenever ppl argue about sth. A market is created

[suedehead]

While I have no problem with the existence of this nice within the modeling industry, I disagree with the proposition that people need to adjust their aesthetic sensibilities in order to accommodate for fat people.

[Hitta]

I have nothing against people being overweight, but at the same time I feel like some people just get fat to be famous or something. Being overweight is not a good thing, it's not healthy.... people should be supported when they are overweight because anyone can be overweight... but the idea of encouraging people to be overweight is ridiculous.

[squark]

Like several people said already, when you're shopping for clothes it's nice to have models in the size range you're looking for: smaller models for small sizes, larger models for larger sizes, and varying heights as well from petite to tall. The whole point is to see how the clothes look on a real person. So, I think it's good to have that whole range represented.

Any issues regarding the influence of models on women and girls has more to do with value judgements than anything else. People are told small = good or healthy, or people are told that big = good or real, and that's not really the case either way. People come in different sizes and shapes, and while being very over or underweight has strong negative health correlations there is such a huge range in the middle of those extremes that is healthy and perfectly normal. I think showing a variety of shapes and sizes in advertising or modeling in general is a good thing and allowing people to see that range and recognize and accept that variety is also good. I don't think forcing anything down anyone's throats as in calling only larger women "real" women, or criticizing every ounce of fat on someone's body help anyone and certainly doesn't have anything to do with concern about people's health.

If you speak negatively about people who are overweight on the internet, you get called insensitive. If you speak out in support of not being judgmental of overweight people on the internet, you get people like Jeremy PM'ing you for pics to make sure that you're not actually a fat yourself. Sigh.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What? Lol. That was because your personality reminded me of someone lol

[Jeremy8419]

I know what your motive was... especially since you felt the need to comment on it.

Nice gaslight, though.

You talk like my ex, you type like my ex, you look like my ex. Don't lie about me, ass.

You talk like my ex, you type like my ex, you look like my ex. Don't lie about me, ass.

You need to seriously cut out your creepy shit.

[Jeremy8419]

I said I wanted it for VI.

P.s. Fuck off.

[Kim]

I will fuck off when you stop the creepy shit ("You talk like my ex, you type like my ex, you look like my ex. Don't lie about me, ass.").

[Jeremy8419]

Tell you what, Kim. How about you fuck off, and mind your own business to begin with. Mkay? Thx. Bye.

[Hitta]

Lol this thread just went circus mode.

[Kim]

I am really not very good at minding my own business when creeps act entitled.

[Jeremy8419]

Lol this thread just went circus mode.

Well, I had Ne. Respectfully ask for a pic for VI purposes. Have one girl lie about the and make false accusations. Provide evidence of the contrary. Then have another girl insult me for such. They both need to take their hormone bullshit elsewhere. /triple snaps fingers mhmm

[Jeremy8419]

I am really not very good at minding my own business when creeps act entitled.

You spelled your type wrong.

[Jeremy8419]

You mentioned for VI when I questioned, then immediately made a comment on weight after you saw a pic in the archives. I'm not stupid.

Yes. Clearly you're not stupid.

Why can't more people think like you?

[Kim]

You spelled your type wrong.

Sure.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Jeremy I dedicate this song to you:

Never gonna get Starfall's pussy
Never gonna get it, Never gonna get it never gonna get it
Not this time.

Lmao

[Hitta]

Starfall send me a photo with a measuring tape around your waist. Measuring tapes turn me on for some reason. As a matter of fact you can just send a photo of the measuring tape without you in it... k thanks.

[strangeling]

I feel like I'm watching an episode of Seinfeld.
