The authors of so-called "fatshion" blogs -- with names like Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too, Manolo for the Big Girl, Curves to Kill and Thicker Than Your Average Girl -- seek to send an empowering message to their plus-sized sisters: We're here, we're fat, we look just fabulous -- and you can, too.

Quote:

Fat girls representing themselves as confident, smart and resourceful is key, Kinzel says.

Quote:

"The people who get angriest about fat girls looking good and feeling hot are the people who are the most strongly invested in the idea that a person has to be skinny in order to be happy, healthy, and loved," Kinzel says.

Quote:

"At the end of the day, its just your outer shell -- there's a whole personality underneath that's just waiting to shine. And even if you don't realize how beautiful you are, someone else is out there who thinks you are the most beautiful person in the world."

Jesus.

I fixed her quote...

Seeing shit like that just makes me want to scream.

Men of status don't give a shit how lovely a fat girl's personality is... We're never going to get past the gigantic, excessive folds of flesh.

To us, "confident, smart" fat girls just means bitchy an extreme entitlement attitude. No thanks.

Fat western bitches STILL don't seem to understand that men don't want smart, careerist women... Just one that looks good and has a tolerable personality.

These women, like all women, are high on their hamsters. Nothing guys say is gonna sink in. Just ignore them until you're in a deep slump and willing to use even an amorphous blob as a cum dumpster.

We should be throwing out the names of companies that make type 2 diabetes related treatments, whether it's to control the disease, or to cope with the effects, like limb replacement. Diabetes is going to hit the US like a tsunami. There is money to be made off the BBW/fatshionista meme.

Purely from a business standpoint, this propaganda is pure genius. We're a nation of fatties. Fatties have gradually come to accept that they are fat, and either can't or won't lose weight, so they force the rest of the country to in many ways adjust to them (various goods and services will begin to accommodate). New stadiums are built with fewer, but wider seats and bigger aisles. The pseudo-knockoff clothing business is very lucrative. See all those high-end fashions on the runway that you can't afford? Well, there are lots of manufacturers who just days after that item is seen on the runway are cranking out their own similar version - just enough like it for them NOT to get sued, but close enough that chicks will buy it. They'll simply do the same for the plus-size crowd, because high-end designers will only make the item in a certain size range. Fatties have money to spend just like everyone else, so why not try to get it?

I wonder how accepted this movement would be if it were for overweight men?

Fat women don't even have good personalities from one I've experienced (obnoxious yentas who love to compare their "voluptuous asses and tits" to "skinnier bitches").
