Saw some artwork of a character that by my measure would be considered skinny/slim, but the artist referred to as chubby.
Its incredibly concerning the difference between artistic rep of larger sizes is compared to real-life larger bodies.
I saw a post semi-recently where an artist drew Taylor Swift with, like, conventional artistic thinness, and then did a drawover to compare and draw attention to the fact that actual thin bodies (like in the drawover) look plus-sized because of how thin the "default" is in art
Hmm, found a twitter post of that description, and ye I agree that it highlights how warped the ideas of beauty are in artwork.
this shit drives us up a wall
it's not enough that it's nearly impossible to find clothes outside of expensive specialty stores (yes i know torrid exists, and it's not particularly affordable for the average person) or very middle-aged-stereotypes as a fat girl*, or that stuff in half of the fashion industry is grossly undersized even when there ARE pluses
but then we get to go online and see some dipshit refer to a feminine type as "chubby" because their waist dares to actually look like it has room for their organs
and i can't even attempt to comment on the concept of '"fat" should have a content warning' without getting incoherently angry
welcome to Fat, your options are Lane Bryant for hella-expensive business casual, Torrid for "cool" fats, and Catherine's for granny clothes! of course, plenty of other places sell fat clothes... but only online!
