(Anonymous) 2017-08-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)Yuri's weight only matters because it's harder for him to balance and perform on the ice but say he finally retires from figure skating, I don't think he'll care much about whether he has a big belly or not. And nor would Victor.
That said, I do think we need more body positivity especially in Asian countries where a normal weight is already 'fat'. Calling a chubby Yuri 'fatso' and 'pig' isn't helping.

(Anonymous) 2017-08-14 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah on one hand Asians have a different obesity scale from the rest of the world. (Checking online I'm actually on the normal weight/BMI, but I'm already erring on the side of overweight according to my doctor because our scale is a bit on the lower side. Mostly because the risks for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases double for Asians at a lower BMI than Westerners.) So: I'd have a hard time seeing a retired Yuri, who was an athlete, actually blow up. If only for health reasons. But he will be plump because that's how his genes work.
On the other, I do want some kind of anime that shows how fat people are still healthy you know? They're not fat simply because they're lazy or eat too much?

(Anonymous) 2017-08-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)If you bothered reading what I said to anon above, nonnie, you'd see me mention that I don't expect a retired Yuri, a former athlete, to actually blow up because of health reasons. BUT he can't help being plump if his genes work that way. It's not always about lack of exercise and a bad diet, in case you didn't know already. Some people just can't lose weight no matter how fucking healthy they are. Listing those diseases one can get as a fat person isn't helping me: I'm normal weight, like I mentioned (bordering on chubby but eh). I run the risk of all those diseases anyway because of genetics. My cholesterol levels are through the roof. BUT I'M NORMAL WEIGHT.
My best friend weighs about twice I do, she eats healthy and exercises daily. She also plays tennis on her free time. I get tired more easily than she does. Whom do you think is healthier?
Don't give me that kinda shit.
