Stupid on every level.
Really fishin’ hard, ain’cha?
Not intentionally, just curious about what they meant.
I picked other because I can’t get past the horribleness of most of those “fashions”.
The teal hair on the one chick works, but that stringy red mess with the dark roots is not.a.good.look.
Silver Sequin/Chiffon skirt dress in the second picture, Lace Dress chick, Sound/DJ chick, Pink Peasant Crop Top Chick all seem to have a decent sense of dressing to look good.
Hard to tell. The only pics of her I see are in that rotating gallery of tiny pix right below the word ‘Instagram’ towards the top of the right-hand column. Can’t see any one long enough to form an opinion.
Are you in the matrix? Here in reality there are not 3 billion clones of that woman.
As to the blog, which woman am I supposed to be evaluting her worth based soley on her looks? There are a lot of women on that page and I need to know which one you mean.
I think she has one of the thousands and thousands of crafty &/or fashion blogs. There are a lot of fat* girls and women who are into “fatshion” or “fatshionista” – it’s about finding cute or stylish clothes in plus sizes and having fun with their personal style, as well as sharing tips or store recs and whatnot.
It’s generally a really friendly and supportive community.** They’ll be the first to agree with you that they’re fat/obese – it’s not like they somehow don’t know. It helps a lot of fat women feel they aren’t inherently gross or completely invisible; their self-confidence, -esteem and -worth go way up. And even people who are REALLY anti-fat should treat that as a good thing: Negative or shame-based “motivation” actually does the opposite of its intention - people are more likely to STAY (or even BECOME) obese.
- speaking plainly, because “fat” should not be an insult or epithet. Fat is just fat.
** Of course there will be exceptions who are rude or mean, but I’m talking about on average.
Disorder? You call being overweight a disorder?
Are you quibbling with the specific word choice, or are you making a broader argument that being that fat is not a suboptimal situation?
Both
“My pants are tight!”
Well she and the rest of the women on that blog are grossly, morbidly obese. I find obesity a huge turn-off, so there’s no way I would sleep with any of them. Interestingly, no one has suggested I do so.
They also look like a fun-loving bunch of people and they might be great to socialize with. I like socializing, so I might enjoy their company.
If, however, their personalities and mannerisms are as loud as their clothing, that would wear thin after 15 minutes, and I would make my excuses and flee.
The blogger is no better or worse looking than anyone else on the page. The most striking outfit is the black woman in the dress with the gold straps around her boobs. OMG!
So to answer the OP, I really don’t know.
I’m pretty sure it already is. Heck, I discovered “Hollywood fat” first when I saw supposed fat people in TV shows. Like how everyone goes on about Commander Riker being fat.
I’m too busy being a terrible person for entirely other reasons.
Yes.
She’s promoting a body type that’s just as unhealthy as the anorexic heroin chic crap the mainstream fashion industry focuses on. Neither of those shapes are healthy. Both come with inherent health problems. Claiming “oppression points” and crying about “privilege” won’t make Type 2 Diabetes any less likely to cause your foot to rot off. Obesity isn’t a lifestyle any more than anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa are lifestyles.
Google “this is thin privilege” some time and ask yourself whether it’s any more sane than the “pro-ana” (pro-anorexia nervosa) or “pro-mia” (pro-bulimia nervosa) blogs.
In that case, I don’t think we’re going to be able to reach any sort of agreement.
Can you show me where she is ‘promoting a body type’ on the blog?

I don’t like smoking.
