Sorry, but that’s kinda like the whole point of the joke.
I think you would have been fine calling them “plus-sized women”.

this is not the place to complain about moderation. You can message me. You can “report” the moderation which will message all the mods, or you can post in ATMB.

yes, the whole point of the joke is “ha ha, some women are fat, and it’s cool to put them down and call them names”. That’s not actually a great look. I mean, there’s also the bit about whales and Wales being puns, but as you observe, it’s not super funny without making fun of women for being fat. That’s the sexist part that we’re trying to cut down on.
How about “pleasingly plump”?
Something to think about: Would the joke have been as funny, to your eyes, if the “whales” were men, rather than women? After all, men can be just as obese as women. If it’s only funny when women are fat, but not men, that’s a sign that the “humor”, such as it is, is based on misogyny.
You shouldn’t make fun of fat people.
They’ve got enough on their plates already.
You can’t be too thin or too rich.

Signed, Howard Hughes.
The late playwright Wendy Wasserstein said that Nancy Reagan was living proof that you can be too rich and too thin.
As far as I know, she didn’t die of it, though. Hughes did.
I didn’t say she did. It’s called a joke.
Dang. Tough crowd.
Sorry to be dense… is it because no one checks out that book?
It’s because she’s a Mother, AKA a person who collects Moths.
Like how a person who collects birds is a Birder, and a person who collects bones is a… well nevermind.
Ooooooo… ha ha, it still took a minute. Thanks.
It’s always great when a stupid pun comes up in real life. Cleaning out my parents’ basement I just came across some old oil lamps and spare wicks.
I took a picture of the latter and sent it to all my cousins and siblings with the text, “I know I shouldn’t have these; I got a pretty good night’s sleep last night.”
I can’t wait for someone to ask why so I can text the whole group, “everyone knows there is no wick for the rested.”
Ouch!
Abraham Lincoln was not only a great President, he was a humble man. Once when he and his Presidential entourage were traveling, they stayed overnight at a country inn, where he insisted on helping the proprietor prepare dinner.
He was given the tasks of shucking corn for fresh roasted corn on the cob and coring apples for apple pie. Problem was, his kitchen prep skills were not the greatest, and he was very slow with his work. The concerned cook, frustrated at seeing how late it was getting, nervously asked Mr. Lincoln how close he was to being finished.

John was driving when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his window and said to the officer, “Is there a problem, Officer?”
"No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. "
“What do you think you’re going to do with the money?” John thought for a minute and said, “Well, I guess I’ll go get that drivers’ license.” Judi, sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, “Oh, don’t pay attention to him – he’s just a wise guy when he’s drunk and stoned.”
Brian from the back seat said, “I told you guys we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car!” At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, “Are we over the border yet?”
