Why it's fashionable to be 'fat' in 2022: How 'size-ism' is the last bastion of discrimination - and after a 'curvy' fashion week, all ANYONE is talking about is the 'size-inclusive models'

An esteemed magazine editor who attended Australian Fashion Week has heaped praise on The Curve Edit show that featured 'size inclusive' models, claiming that sizeism is one of the 'last bastions of discrimination'.

Harper's Bazaar Features and Fashion News Director Patty Huntington spoke to Josh Szeps on ABC Radio on Friday to debrief about the week of runway fashion which saw wheelchair-bound, amputee and curve models take the catwalk in numbers never seen before.

In April Bella Model Management founder Chelsea Bonner announced she would be spending $100,000 of her own money to host The Curve Edit show after growing frustrated that none of her plus-sized models were ever booked for Fashion Week.

Fat isn't fashionable; it's a sign of poor decisions and health problems.

Consumer advertisers selling overweight women is about people washing their hands of others who won't listen to health directions.

"I'm not going to waste my breath anymore, telling you that you need to eat right and exercise for your own sake. No, just go do whatever you want. You look beautiful."

Can’t help but notice on TV that overweight women are being empowered. And ugly people in general.

Well, nobody is perfect. Aside from beauty, she really has the “it” factor - charisma - which shines through on the catwalk.

They are not even modeling good clothes/looks. Who would want to wear any of that, or the swimsuit on the SI cover?

Fat people have other personality issues with self control.

TPTB may have decided that it is “fashionable”, but they cannot force people to like it, nor make it good for you healthwise.

Funny, that.

The left is encouraging the very thing that will take out more people with Covid.

They are not done with trying to kill us off by any means.

And there’s the cost in dollars.

From the American Diabetes Association on 2017...

“The total estimated 2017 cost of diagnosed diabetes of $327 billion includes $237 billion in direct medical costs and $90 billion in reduced productivity.”

Fat women with great personalities can be my friend—but I always had zero attraction going on...

All the propaganda in the world will not change that.

There is a big difference between being fat, and being Rubenesque.

I thought Covid went after Fatties. Wasn’t obesity one of the co-morbidities Covid was attracted to??

“I thought Covid went after Fatties.”

I suppose so. I apologize for suggesting in an earlier post that obese people are social outliers like trannies, etc.

The purpose of all this is to destroy the concept of beauty.

Which is not possible.
