Such a frustrating article. They're upset because "plus-size" in the media isn't "plus size" ENOUGH!??!?!?!!?

Quote:Corissa noted that even though more and more brands are creating plus-size options, the models who wear them are typically all 'white, under 30, on the smaller side of fat, able bodies, and evenly proportioned'.

TRANSLATION - "Most plus size models are "fat" but not "morbidly obese". We're hoping to increase awareness of those people"

I skimmed over it- but it's both hard and EASY to believe she's 21. I mean it's hard in the sense that she looks 30+, but it's easy to understand because she has no kids, boyfriend, job - this is her life.

If there was a time to get into business of "plus+plus size" clothing now is the time.

Quote:“Today I was shopping in Old Navy, standing between a teenage girl and her mom,” Rachel wrote in the caption of the photo. “The girl picked up a plus-size tank top, showed it to her mom and said, ‘Look! Me and So-and-so can fit in this tank top!’ Her mom laughed and said, ‘Yeah, you could! That thing is huge!'”

What the girl and the mother didn’t know was that the tank-top was in Rachel’s size. “I couldn’t help it; I started crying,” Rachel continued in the caption, breaking our hearts. “I guess the girl and her mom walked away. I have no idea.”

This is arguably the DUMBEST case of fat shaming I've ever read. The teenager and mother were just making an offhand comment about the clothing, that's it. They didn't do it to be mean, they didn't do it to be cruel, they were just making an observation. COME ON.

Glad women are starting to see through this insane charade.

Quote:Not to be a negative Nancy, but the original post said at the end "and these two were right, they aren't half the woman i am". Which to me sounded pretty rude itself. The positive notes at the end were added after people called her out. While this post does has a positive message about loving yourself, (i am a plus size women who basically LIVES at Old Navy), people should also learn not to let other people bother you. Especially if the comment were not directed at her.
The original post stated that she "cried {her} eyes out for a long time in the car". The people that said that about the tank top didn't think they were hurting anyone. People need to stop making mountains out of mole hills for the sake of things going viral. Just my opinion.

Quote:OMG she was probably a skinny girl ...so this shirt may be huge if you compare it to her size ..its not like they said it to her...

Good news this is not totally widespread, I ended up dating a girl from Bulgaria for a little bit who was and pretty good shape, when we flew over to visit her family first thing her mom wanted to know is what she had been eating because she noticed she put on some weight. I bet by any ones standards on here this girl would have been considered in shape. It felt good to know there are cultures that don't put up with this non sense. If you want to see a place even worse than america go visit India. This is a place I'll never return not even for the culture.

If the USA wants to cancel its debt within a decade they should organise mass hunts involving fat people across Texas with paintball guns.

I would pay top dollar for that experience. An event to tell the grand kids.

Never met a non-fat woman who did not have fully visible body shots. Women are astutely aware of their qualities. If body shots come in strange angles or there are none, that means that she is fat.

"We deserve respect"

These women are disgustingly morbidly obese. They can be "happy" all they want, but heart disease, diabetes and a variety of other physical ailments don't care how happy you are or how much you love yourself. Not to mention that the natural human reaction of revulsion shows that the aesthetic is not a matter of choice, beauty is not simply in the eye of the beholder.

I'm a generally positive person. I can find almost any reason to get along with someone. I don't care if we have different political or religious views, as long as we have mutual respect and loyalty.

But when I keep seeing articles like this, I get very cynical, because if there is one thing I despise, it's narcissism.

Think of it as a large paintball field, obstacles, hideouts and the like but in the vein of Tough Mudder. The fatties can have segways, quads and a head start.

As a tourist destination you want it to be slightly easy. No redneck enjoys missing out on shooting something and the same goes for wide eyed tourists who like to be shown sights of the country they're visiting.

- Fatties get slimmer
- Encourages tourism
- Educates people

Talk to any tourist outside the USA who'd like to come and visit and they will say one of the things to do is shoot a gun. Paintball guns aren't the same thing but you get to hunt fatties.

Not to mention skin cancer as her pallid flesh is already starting to burn in the blazing hot sun. I wonder if there was a whiff of bacon in the air as the photographer took the picture?

I have no idea what the fatties are thinking. When you meet them that somehow their magical personalities will convince your penis it is worth it? Do they enjoy watching men's startled reactions? Missed the memo that real men like physical beauty? None of that stuff where it is PC and expected that you date down?

Everyone thinks they deserve respect but they won't respect your time. Imagine how many hours a wasted thinking she might be attractive only to get ready and commute to the date. And all the time wasting your best texts to convince ther to meet. Funny.

Quote:My son's in a wheelchair so this is a common occurrence for us. Get tickets to a fun event for the kids. Load my son in the van, load his wheelchair, unload his wheelchair upon arrival, unload my son, get him seated in the wheelchair, and finally arrive at the "accessible seating" section only to find this. I'm sorry, but being obese is not a disability. The ladies blocking my son's view (oh and I'm sure they're SUPER stoked for that front row view of the Harlem Globetrotters /sarcasm) are both rolling around in power chairs that they rented today from the venue. So in the future, when you're at an event and you see the accessible seating area - just remember that there are probably some kiddos in there who's parents just want to give them the opportunity to experience live events in much the same fashion the kids without special needs can. Please be considerate and let the smaller kids move toward the front. [edit #1] Of course I don't know their medical diagnosis. However, note the numbers on the bottom of their power chairs. These were rented the day of the event from the venue. These women didn't come to the park in a chair, which tells me that their "condition" is not one that requires a more permanent solution for mobility. [edit #2] In most cases, I would simply maneuver my son in front of folks like this as he's much smaller and wouldn't impede anyone's view. In this case though, the accessible seating area was very small and clearly an afterthought at the event. Moving him to the front would have required me to inconvenience/move a lot of folks and just wasn't worth it. The show, used nearly all of the floor space so luckily the action that was blocked by the women in front of him was limited. [edit #3] Yes, this was at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO and yes we he had a great time regardless! http://imgur.com/gallery/gI2tPdr

Agreed.

Any chick with an average body or better has full body shots. They know what sells and since they're the masters of photography they can make even an average body look good.

Only very overweight and heavier girls avoid fully body shots.
What I find most hilarious is the girls who will have their first 4 pics as facial shots and then finally the last pic will show the truth. It's like they hope the first few pics will convince you so once you see the truth you'll be OK with it.

This is why fatties in handicapped parking spots pisses me off to no end, and it should piss everyone else off too.

A friend of my mom's is overweight/borderline obese, and I was told that every time they go out shopping, she'll slip her handicapped sign on her rear view mirror, take a front-row spot, and walk into the store with an exaggerated limp.

Sometimes this is just laziness, for others their knees simply won't let them walk anymore, but either way they made the choice to be fat. Why should we group them in the same category as legitimately handicapped people and let parking spots and special front-row spots at venues such as this be a free-for-all?

Fuck fat people who take advantage of their fatness.
