Crazy how a woman can be sexualized for just doing her job. This woman is incredibly successful in her career as a medical doctor, in fact she’s Iowa’s director of public health, but let’s just point out how her body looks during press conferences. I really can’t stand this. 

..have you seen some of the topics here....?

[Guest Blonde Babe]

I understand how you feel, but I’m allowed to have an opinion too? I just think this woman deserves more credit for her brains than her body. Thank you :))

Nobody is saying she isn't smart and has a great background in what she does but you literally just came to a thread looking for a argument.. She is a very attractive woman and deserves to be on here im hoping the Mods dont delete this thread ! It would be a shame if one person ruined it for everyone lol

No one says she doesnt have an incredible brain too, but that's not what this entire site is about....

All I know is you wouldn't like it if someone went rooting around in your personal life and started posting pictures of you to a porn site.  It's almost funny watching people get so defensive about their awful behavior.

You do realize the site you're on and how many of these women would be mortified to find out they've been posted on here right?

Yeah I think it's pretty gross to post non-public figures on a fetish site without their knowledge.  I mean this specific situation is different because she's a semi-public figure but let's be honest this whole practice of plastering people on a site like this is pretty disturbing, celebrity or not.  Curvage wants all this attention as a bastion of celebrating "curves" yet there is a really dark underbelly to this place that any outside observer would rip a part in an instant.  My hope is that as our female membership grows we will become more of a community and this kinda BS stops.

Exactly... many of these women would be mortified... that’s the point that is being made?

I’m just as much a part of this community as anyone else and I have a right to an opinion. The issue is that you would not like pictures posted on the internet of you at work. I have not done anything wrong, please show me a little more respect as a model and as a woman. We can have a website dedicated to BBWs and ‘curves’ but we don’t need to breach people’s privacy to do it. 

[Guest FeederDave]

admiration doesn’t necessarily mean sexualized. 

also, she’s an elected official. 

[Jordan]

@Baby is right there are a few people that have no idea that their pictures are on here just because some is getting chubby doesn't mean that they want to be a bbw show some respect for those people 

[Tekkenrag]

All the videos here are public photos and videos. It's not even ripped from her social media accounts let alone some kind of intimate private material. And why would we talk about her brains this isn't a public health forum.

If you look at twitter people are being far more sexually explicit about Cuomo, beshear or Newsom basically any good looking person who is holding public briefings. This really isn't a gender thing just humans being horny. If she's on this site asking for people to take down her pictures that's a different story. 

@lovelymeow555 I hope you reconsider and post more. 

[Guest Blonde Babe]

I’m sorry if I offended anybody. I just wanted to perhaps give someone perspective on what it’s like to be a woman. It’s great that you guys appreciate plus-sized women. This is a site dedicated to ‘curves’ and as a young woman with curves I think I am entitled to voice my opinion on this topic. 😊

Here's a thought: how many plus size models became so due to some unsolicited attention online? I bet dollars to donuts there are a number of curvage models who fit the bill. The living legend Mal Malloy came about due to unsolicited attention to her weightloss youtube channel. Now, I doubt this professional woman is about to toss her hat into the ring of fetish modeling as she is undoubtedly quite successful with her current career. But I suspect if she does take offense to finding herself here, she'll take all the proper steps available to her to have her images removed as is her right.

And I believe there is some room on this forum for concern for privacy and respecting people, but I hardly see any great amount of denigration in this thread; people can be intelligent and sexy at any point of their day depending upon who is looking. We can speak of mortification of being gawked at on this forum, but if we start to remove threads just due to potential offense, one would have to shut down much of the entire forum, including much of the celeb and plus size model sections. I mean, its unsolicited, right? Is the goal perhaps to only have fetish models themselves left on the forum?

I'm just going to touch on your last point since I've already said what I needed to about the subject.  

I do in fact think we should just focus on our models and their gaining exploits since they are actually into it.  We have what a few hundred models now?  It's crazy how this thing of ours has blown up and I think we're past the point of having to scrounge around and do this to people.  Any potential feedee could come here and see our models enjoying themselves, I think that's a bigger selling point than people being plastered on here without their knowledge.

You brought up a totally reasonable point of conversation. There's a fine line when sexualizing public figures willingly or not. This site was sort of predicated on that though (originally it was called fat-celebs), and is sort of an artifact of a time when few if any women of size sexualized themselves for the community. Celebrities (right or wrong) were already sexualized by the media, and obviously we preferred the fat ones.

You're right that most women wouldn't appreciate being sexualized and objectified for their every day work. I'm personally of the opinion that anonymously appreciating her figure on this site is acceptable as long as we don't breach those personal boundaries of harassment, but obviously that becomes a thin line that is easily crossed. I think OP did a reasonable job staying on the right side of that line, but I also think you're perfectly valid in bringing up your concerns.

[thefeedernextdoor]

@Baby I do think you raise valid points, and there are definitely questions that can be asked about consent when we see people reposting photos from people's private social media profiles or taking photos without someone knowing. 

But this is footage from public meetings, nobody is going through her private social media looking for pictures to post.

As far as the sexualisation goes, this is essentially a fetish site where people come to admire larger women. I feel like as long as people aren't being vulgar or disrespectful then it's not so bad? Idk obviously it comes down to the individual, some may be flattered whereas others would be creeped out.

Even if I don't entirely agree, i see your point of view and I appreciate that you had the courage to voice it when you probably knew you'd get some defensive responses ❤️

My first thought on this thread was "man she is hot."  My second thought was "she would be mortified if she saw this."  I love watching gorgeous fat babes as much as anyone, but I tend to keep my unsolicited viewing to myself.  The fact that she is a public figure though, and she appears in televised interviews, news conferences, etc., makes this kind of a "gray area."  There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing news clips from a public forum.  So the question then becomes is it wrong to share them on a site where no one is interested in what she has to say, but will instead objectify and lust over her looks.  For myself, knowing how hurt she would probably be if she knew, I would not do it.  But I would then have to ask, since she is a public figure, is this any different than sharing clips of other celebrities?  I mean don't we have entire threads devoted to sharing images of fat women in the public eye?  Just playing a little "devils advocate."

This is just a silly double double-standard.

If she was a fit man lusted over by women in some forum nobody would care or just find it amusing. But given how it's an overweight woman with men appreciating her extra curves it's twice as bad.
