When sonic fans grow up.

I love big women, but I always found this shit creepy. There's tons of big women out there already, don't need to photoshop.

Yeah, this isn't about politics or body image, it's a fetish. Like pregnant Sonic.

Well this is... huh.

Not sure how I feel about it actually. It's like, there are plenty (though not enough if you ask me) of plus-sized/bbw models out there already, why Photoshop thin celebs? Seems weirdly backwards to me in a way I'm having difficulty articulating.

Yeah "plus size" is beautiful. Dangerously obese isn't. At all. Kim Kardashian is already bigger Tha most and is fine as she is.
 
Plus sized women already exist. I don't think this guy is going to convince anyone that being heavy is attractive by making photo shops of skinny woman.

The only people this really appeals to is people who already like both skinny and heavy women and would like some kind of weird "What If" situation.

It's kind of ironic that he's taking unrealistic photoshopped photos of female celebrities and photoshopping them into as unrealistic, or more so, "makeovers" that only changes their weight, yet keeps their flawless skin and otherwise perfect features. It's perpetuating the same unreasonable expectations as the original photos just with a fat fetish veneer on top of it and yet think's it will change peoples perceptions of beauty. It's the same damn unrealistic perception, just morbidly obese.
 
It's always weird when the reaction to unreasonable body standards is to jump to the opposite end of the spectrum and euphemize morbid obesity as being "just a little chubby" or "overweight".
 
I miss when Ai Kago was plus sized. I know that's shallow and I shouldn't feel that way. And I feel like she's beautiful no matter how she is and how skinny she is.

Though.. I've been a fan of her since I was a teenager, and she was so cute to me when she wasn't so skinny like she is now. She's always adorable and wonderful. But I miss when she was more plus sized. I think that chubbiness on her is really flattering.

Ordinarily, I'd be right there with you.

And yet something about this seems off.

I mean, it's obviously fake, and taking the "Photoshop women to look like how we want them, not how they actually look" issue to the extreme.

Still though, I think they look much better this way, and still would even if it were real.
