Nobody in this thread bashing fat people sincerely cares for the persons well being. At best it's because of the strain on medical resources, but I don't see nearly as much contempt for mentally ill, drug addicts or poor people who also contribute to this strain.

This is weird. Is this regarding uh, porn content, or just general metrics for determining obesity? If it's the latter, well there are plenty of diagnostic criteria for determining if someone is overweight, or obese.

I could care less what weird poo poo people like to look at nor would I want anyone arbitrating what is or isn't acceptable, provided that no one is being harmed. I guess that's a somewhat gray area for BBW stuff, what with incredibly creepy poo poo like feeders and other types of unhealthy obesity enabling behavior being involved.
In spite of what some goons think, societies standards for attractiveness aren't based on medical definitions of obesity. They're much more subjective. That was my point. With media, you can't objectively determine a person's bmi or specific health. So it's up to the viewer, and that is going to vary more than goons believe as well.

Take ten women of equal bmi but different height race and body type and people, based on their own culture, will give wildly different guesses at who is overweight even if all ten turn out to be a healthy bmi.

Your mistake is in convincing yourself that because you don't find it desirable, nobody does and nobody should.

So, if I was attracted to someone who indulged in a kind of self harm that was both physically obvious and was drastically shortening their life, and affecting their day to day activities negatively I should:

a) Find it desirable, and encourage their happiness in their indulgence.
b) Find it undesirable, and wish that they could see the terrible path they're on.


I should be a better person and encourage people?

i want to see someone lift something so heavy that their roided up arm muscles and pecs literally explode.

bbw fetishes are probably very strongly correlated to mental illness and constitute an infinitesimally small portion of the total porn viewership and are thus irrelevant

wait lets look at the data: http://sexualitics.github.io/

only 3% of "likes" on xhampster are of videos tagged as BBW

from this you could reasonably infer that 97% of the population doesn't like looking at fat people

pretty sure that more than 3% of the population is fat so even most fat people dont like looking at fat people

Y'all seriousposters are acting like there needs to be a big smart reason for poo poo. The reason for any of this poo poo is mocking something for your own amusement. There is no greater goal that needs its validity confirmed. Cynical ridicule is its own motivation and its own reward.

The conversion isn't typically about how fat they are but when they're talking about a part of their life being bad that's directly linked to how fat they are. This might not be something you get out of a coworker but my fat friends say this stuff and I go "well yeah, you're overweight and that's going to make that worse" and they typically go "yeah sure" and shrug it away. The answer is staring at them in the mirror but meh can't deal with it.

Yeah nobody said most people can or want to find fat people attractive but some people do because people are varied and complex.

As far as likes on porn sites who knows. I wonder how many casual browsers actually like or dislike vids.

i went with likes because it removes the possibility that someone viewed that video by mistake

there are videos of people guzzling poo poo or getting their dicks smashed with a hammer on the internet so there is probably an audience for that too

It would legit be the only variant of the Olympic games I'd actually watch. I loved it when the wheelchair paralympians would put tacks on their seats because they couldn't feel them, but had the same adrenal reaction so they'd essentially hulk out for none of the drawbacks. Talk about taking a lovely life situation and just making the loving best out of it.
