Why Aren’t Fat People Allowed to Be Trendy?
InStyle ^ | July 22, 2020 | Amanda Richards

Recently, I saw an image of two women walking down the street. Both of them were wearing a slightly different iteration of the same outfit: high-waisted, knee-length shorts with graphic T-shirts tucked in, and a pair of chunky sneakers. The look is trendy; a perfect encapsulation of the pared down, vintage-inspired aesthetic embraced by GenZ TikTok influencers who seem to take style cues from teen movies released 25 years before they were born. It is, as the kids say, a vibe. The women’s heads are cropped from the photo, leaving them unidentifiable. Based on the trendiness of the clothing alone, I’d have mistaken them for a pair of off-duty models, were it not for one key physical characteristic: the women in the picture are fat.

I don't judge people because they are overweight. We all all imperfect, and there but for the grace of God we all go. But I do judge people who are overweight who tell me that it is just as good and worthy as being a healthy weight for your height. And I am judgmental of someone who wears inappropriate clothes for their body. I am no spring chicken and about 20 lbs overweight, so I don't go without a shirt. Period. End of story. If a woman is 5'6" and weighs 240 lbs, she is free to wear what she likes, but I'll be damned if someone tries to tell me that is attractive and tries to force me to believe it too.

I don't judge people on a personal level who are homosexual because in my mind, it is between them and God as long as they keep it to themselves. If they treat me with respect, I will do the same back. I do judge people sharply who want to tell me that homosexuality is as healthy and worthy as a heterosexual relationship, that we should teach grade schoolers that, and who lobby for special privileges and benefits.

But I do judge harshly and without reservation any human being who is a supporter and advocate of a political, Marxist, racist, violent organization such as Black Lives Matter. Every single one of those people is one of three things:

  1. Someone who is ignorant and being ruled by their shallowness and emotion.

  2. An imbecile, racist a-hole. This is different from being ignorant. We are all ignorant in one way or another. This is being a dumb ass who wants to use race to advance an ideological goal.

  3. Someone who wishes to tyrannize others and have power over them.

I looked at that page of hers, and that was all I had to see.

Photo number one:

Middle and right look nice. The one on the left looks like she needs to be force-fed a few Big Macs.

Total number two:

I am now impotent for the next 12 hours. Quick, show me pictures of hot naked women.

Momentum. Trends change at the whim of the latest designer. It takes too long for people of heft to change direction. ;-P

I have seen people who would look good in a plastic garbage bag. It’s not about what you wear, it’s about the body wearing it. Whether someone is attractive has very little to do with fashion or style and everything to do with biology. There are exceptions, but they have more to do with “class” than fashion. I have known women who hold themselves with dignity and act with such good deportment, they look good regardless of age or attire. A kind smile on a late middle-aged woman beats a frown on a super model.

I don’t know why I wasted my time reading this article.

Take a close look at the photo, they ALL seem photoshopped into the picture.

Unless the middle chick is radioactive, that is.

Because they are fat. Fat should never be trendy. STOP celebrating being fat. STOP normalizing fat. Just stop it. Being fat is nothing to be proud of or to celebrate. Stop trying to force fat acceptance. Accept people, but not their fatness. Gahhhhh! I am so sick of this crap.

Signed,
Fat Guy

Fat is trendy, at least for the fake media. They fall all over themselves pretending that poor obese singer Lizzo is beautiful.

That’s what you’d surmise from this latest controversy Buzzfeed has stirred up with their interview of former Biggest Loser host and fitness guru Jillian Michaels. The interviewer asked Michaels, who literally hosted a show helping overweight people lose weight, a question basically saying, isn’t it great that the pop star Lizzo shows off her obese body and slays!!

In the least surprising answer ever, Michaels said, well … no.

“Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes,” Michaels said. “I’m just being honest. I love her music, my kid loves her music, but there’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘I’m so glad she’s overweight.’ Why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?”

So yeah, Michaels refused to glorify obesity. For this apparent thought-crime, Michaels has been savaged by the woke online Left.

Trends are set by people that other people want to look like. Nobody wants to look fat.

Bingo. No one's labeling anything "Fat Full" in an attempt to drive up sales. "Fat Free" on the other hand helps sell to certain customers.

Foster Mackenzie III, 48, widely known as Root Boy Slim, a raunchy rock-and-roll musician whose songs satirized popular culture while pressing the limits of outrageousness, died at his home in Orlando, Fla.

The cause of death is being investigated, but a spokesman for the Orlando coroner's office said he appeared to have died between Tuesday night and yesterday morning of natural causes.

Died naturally, at 48.
