Is this really what passes for fat nowadays? The pic on the right is not what I'd call fat. She has bigger boobs and thicker limbs and a bit of a gut; she doesn't look like a beach ball.

IA. I remember seeing the outrage over the video characters made "fat" thing before. Most of them didn't even seem 'fat'. I mean I'll grant that the hologram one was pointless because she was a hologram. But the way a bunch of people were talking about obesity and 'landwhales' I would have expected them to be a little bigger than just not stick-looking.

Yeah it's fat. Also overweight considering her short height. It's not at the level of being bedridden, but still noticeable.

lol no.

She's not "fat". She has a little excess body fat, but she isn't shaped like a ball.

I think you have a strange concept of fat.

NAYRT

I think you have an even stranger concept of fat. As someone who is very thin, has always been thin, and used to struggle with anorexia, I tend to see a person as "fat" before most people will, and even I would hesitate to call this character fat. Chubby? Sure. But almost everyone looks heavier without clothes on. Give this character a decent outfit and she'll just be on the heavier side of normal.

I agree with OP's secret; I just don't agree with your concept of fat.

DA

I have a body type similar to the one in the second picture, and trust me, it's fat. "Normal" would be somewhere in between the two.

Well, since there's no standard universal agreed upon size or shape that officially defines one as "fat" we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I think what another anon says down thread is really pivotal here. Which is that some people define "fat" as overweight, while other people define "fat" as obese.

I define fat as obese or at least very close to obese, which that character is not. I do agree, however, that she is overweight.

Americans

She's clearly fat. That half your population is overweight and a third obese means Americans legitimately don't understand what the line for healthy and fat is.

ayrt

I'm not American.

But American media has a very narrow view of beauty norms... Like magazines calling celebrities who've put on five pounds fat.

Not American, but I think the disconnect is probably whether fat=overweight or fat=obese. I'd say above pic is overweight, and most would probably agree, but not obese.

I hadn't thought of it this way, but I think you're absolutely right. I commented above saying I wouldn't consider this character "fat." But you're right that I would consider her overweight. I just see "fat" as being a state far closer to obese than to overweight.

Hahahaha yup.

Haha, play nice anon.

*tips fedora*

Yes, she is noticeably overweight and it has always been that way. Immobile beach ball is not the only level of fat.

Because different body structures don't exist, amiright?

Because she's just "big-boned", right?

So she's a fat endomorph. Still fat.

You're not very smart, are you?

That's definitely fat. Not obese, but definitely fat.
