Everybody Needs To Stop The ‘Plus-Sized Models Are Awesome’ Garbage
The Daily Caller ^ | July 27, 2017 | David Hookstead

Posted on 07/29/2017 2:56:59 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

There is a national tragedy sweeping across America, and it promptly needs to come to an end.

For some inexplicable reason, American entertainment outlets think male consumers are entertained by “plus-sized” models. They’re not. Trust me when I say that there’s a reason men read the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine, and it has nothing to do with the seemingly unending supply of bigger models.

Naturally, I’m not suggesting that obese women are bad people. Obviously that’s not the case, and it’d be a lazy critique of my argument to even attempt to boil it down to that.

My point is very simple. Men love football, alcohol and the women in bikinis that they don’t see walking around the town. If I can look out the windows of my office building and see six people similar to a woman featured in Sports Illustrated, then put simply, that woman has no business being in Sports Illustrated.

SI’s Instagram account recently featured Tabria Majors, who is a “plus-sized” model.

Farley was hilarious and I’m quite sure he had no problem getting women. He had fame and money which have long been known to be the true female aphrodisiacs.

Do you really think men buy the SI swimsuit issue like for any reason. It’s the internet age, all those picks are online before you even get out of bed.

Stick-thin runway models do not appeal to heterosexual men any more than fat women do. Men are visual, and thoroughly appreciate a nice female body. Feminist idiots taking charge over who gets photographed in a men’s sports mag with an annual women’s swimsuit issue and forcing fatties in there is utter lunacy. To then pretend that it’s anything but more politically motivated PC garbage, on FR or anywhere else, is just more lunacy.

I’m still waiting for anything remotely comparable as far as this claim being made that fat men are being marketed as sexy to women, by the way, not that you are the one who made this ludicrous claim.

Whether it’s newsstand and subscription sales or eyeballs and clickthrough online, the motivation remains the same, profit for Sports Illustrated. Do you think forcing fatties into the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is going to result in greater profits for SI? No? Why not? It’s only “fair.”

The Photoshoping/dodge and burn hurt my eyes. Would rather see the flab, stretch marks and imperfections. The natural look is highly underrated.

Btw, the supermodels/fitter chicks are photoshopped to death as well. Madison Avenue is packed full of Lucifer’s minions.

In the olden days a plus sized girl was considered healthy. A thin girl was believed to be diseased, usually with TB.

This is why so many of the old CW songs praised a “corn fed mama”.

Actually with today’s heroin addict models, that woman is considered an elephant.

You need to actually watch one of those runway programs from Paris or Milan.

Obesity is unhealthy. When smoking was determined to be unhealthy pictures of ugly, damaged lungs were everywhere. In the age of tax payer supported healthcare we would be best served to show obesity as the brutal life taker it is.
