I'm fat and I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. It feels so patronizing. Not to mention that 99% of the time they're still drawn with absurdly small wrists/hands and ankles/feet to give off a sense of delicacy.

Like, seeing a character I love and maybe even identify with as fat doesn't make me feel empowered or happy. It just reminds me that I'm fat.

This exactly! It's also why I can't enjoy shows with fat main characters even though people around me seem to love the fat representation, it always reminds me that I was never the cool fat chick, I was just fat and bullied for it.

I’m trans and this is how I feel about canon characters randomly being declared trans by fandom— it’s either condescending “perfect boi uwu” infantalizing shit, someone’s kink, or an attempt to look like the most progressive member of fandom

I have this issue with character being drawn with a variety of skin conditions. More often than not, it's broderline offensive and fetishising. Like, no, having acne is not empowering, wtf.

I feel this way too. I idealize these characters and as an ideal, as a fantasy, I like to read about/see them drawn just as they were in canon. Now if they were already chubby? I wouldn't want them drawn skinny, either. I love some already fat characters! But when you change up an aspect of a character I liked, they aren't that same character anymore. And if I ALSO found them hot, you're messing with my tastes, and that's an instant turn-off. FWIW I am attracted to fat and or ugly characters too, just not ones that are CHANGED to fit a certain aesthetic in fanart/fic.
