Hi there, A friend of mine has introduced me here but I think the honest way is just doing it by myself. I just love the fat community since many years ago. From the first pic to the last had been maaaaaany lbs of difference. However, most important, I have never been as confident and happy as I am right now. Do you notice the difference? Body language speaks, dears😉

Digitalized globalization of culture, fashion, medias, arts and ideas swifting to-and-fro betwist the Western hemisphere and the rest of the world following the public launch of social medias during the late 2000s-to-early 2010s, coupled from one hand by the mediatically-handled corporate scaling of fewer sub-national/trans-national non-Eurocentric ideals of beauty long rummaging within North American countries (such like the still-controversial "Big Booty Era" amid else) and, from a second hand, louder questioning about the presumed validity of vapidly utilitarian (thin-centered) ideals of beauty in popular medias and the fashion industry frim a second hand, has opened up following 2012 an ever-uproaring reinvigoration of the fat acceptance movement at its third wave of existence. Models whose sizes alone long doomed them from being ever sidelined far away from the greatest runway events and their scrawny figures wailing ghoulishly over the podium, found themselves rapidly beneath the spotlight in a matter of clicks with earnest attention and curiosity. Within the next fewer years, names such like the tattoo girl Tess Holliday, the veteran-ranked Velvet d'Amour, an once-waifily-silhouetted-then-one-hundred-pounds-heavier Tara Lynn freshly reconverted, a Hispanic American single-mother-of-multiple-children-turned-Miss-Plus-Size-America-turned-B-list-celebrity named Rosie Mercado who would never have imagined the same sixty-or-so-inches wide haunches that forbade her from enjoying a ride on a bike or fearing small hallways and turnstiles would someday propel her to success, the regretfully-unforgotten first black Plus Size supermodel Joelle Borgella (R.I.P.) and the list goes on. Millions of white girls and younger women whose mothers grew old still jealousively being pressured into looking like the next Jane Fonda or having their older sisters being pressured to choose between Mischa Barton' (long before her mom bods's days) , XTina' (from her years before she has gone up beyond size Large) or Jillian Michaels's figures as ideals to thrive for, now hesitates between a Kardashian's cosmetically enhanced backside or hoping to look like a pleasantly obese Ashley Graham (from the days she was still obese, of course) ... whom for women and younger girls of other races, that's a whole another story to cover. To these days, the motto "Fat Is The New Black" never rung so true. And at the upturn summers of an exponentially aggrandizing cash flow such like the Plus Size / Body Positivity machine, the blacker the merrier. It became in U.S.A. , Brazil and a fewer European countries more-and-more frequently heard about how mainstream Curvy and Plus Size models are so vividly encouraged by their agents to engorge themselves extensively, subconsequently going up several sizes up with little to no medically monitored restriction regarding those seemingly-queer diets... if you are curvy, grow curvier, if you are thicc then grow extrathiccer, if you are plasantly plump then grow bigger and if you're big already and still booking, then say farewell to roller-costers and a decent economic seat at any airplane. Even many couples of those are counted amongst social media "influencers" and Youtube fashion / MUKBANG / fitness creator makers as the years passes. Weight gain within this complex networking of different communities has lost the unappealing sheen it had back to the days "The Biggest Loser" used to be a major international television hit and that Eddie Murphy could still make crude skits about rampant obesity within the average-waging to socially-upward African-American families (Nutty Professor I, Nutty Professor II) without being accused of fat stigma and Misogynoir (Norbit) while Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry could still make fun of it (Big Momma's Home trilogy films, Madea films) as much as they portrayed them as transvestizing tokens for a public far less sensitive to the coveted social and political issues Eddie Murphy nailed long before than even the most cherished Plus Size icons are now looking, exactly like Sherman Klump before them, for their fluorescent blue hued instantaneous slimming formulas. Because whether we like it or not, being fat and notorious for thìs before being booked and having your wallets is all fun and game, the tasteful savory flooding from their palate to down their bellies inching forward-and-downwards or their beam widening heavier-and-heavier, the satisfactory gooseflesh of alleviating victory as they lurch themselves out of their expansive studded couchs more laboriously than ever, is liberating... but most of them end up developping lots of anxiety and internal conflicts about IT. ... yes. I mean FEEDERISM. Everything about it without the name neither the trademark prejudical imagery that comes along. Are they gaining weight to ensure their booking rates? Are they gaining weight to better look more reliable and cimmercially inclusive for the predominantly-overweight population that constitutes their clientele?? Are they willfully selling commodity fetish content by doing it??? Then, congratulations: this is simply an altered iteration of the same play led by BigCuties, Curvage, Pornhub, Lucy-V-dotorg, 50InchesOrBetter and so many other adult entertainment platforms does for years, even decades for a few of them. The fact than a overwhelming majority those same mainstream models like to eiter feign not knowing their existence - in spite having half of their googled content being just about it (you can thank me. And everyone else) - or discarding vehemently the Fat Admirer community as "fringe" , "creepy" and "toxic" is one thing I cannot agree personally-- because their comment sections on social medias and Youtube videos aren't always filled with the best specimen of gentlemen and ladies as well... but acting in willful ignorance is worse. Is that possible the way than Dieting Culture is counterproductively evolving in broadsides from Body Positivism was all about?? A means to escape from the emotional and psychological turmoil that constitutes all of those logical fallacies, fattening diets and edgy leaps forward the unknown?? A means to secure their health over money and notoriety?? Or the contrary??? Any else??? Feel free to share your insights. https://medium.com/@ClickHole/this-plus-size-model-was-inspiring-49100bcc0c15
