Plus size doesnt mean obese ppl.
Thank you
Fat people are getting outraged because they don't want to hear that what they are doing is bad and that they need to eat healthier and exercise.

Not quite.
Pose shaming now?
Considering that most people are fat nowadays, I don't Think the "eating disorder" argument works to counter the message they are sending here.
They are basically shifting down their size requirement for "plus size" which is a symptom of being larger than the "Calvin Klein average" being smaller than the normal average.

Completely understand the pushback. Lots of shitty replies in this thread though.
Both
There's plus-sized petite clothing.
She's normal. That's what a normal woman her age looks like (or is supposed to look like).
Most people that are normal weight are probably not going to be sick from their weight. I wouldn't say they are healthy, necessarily, but they're more unlikely to have health problems from/related to weight (as opposed to extreme thinness or obesity).
Thank you

But that model isn't plus-sized at all. Even if you exclude obese people, that woman is around average. She's not plus anything, unless you use the fashion model standard to be average.
Not quite.
My friends call them 'grenades'.Huh. Didn't know that.
In the modeling/fashion industry. To the laymen maybe not.If she wears a size 10, she's plus.
Not even close.She looks fat be honest, look at her arms

I don't think there's anything wrong with sending the message that people should try to be skinnier nowadays, and the pushback against this seems counterintuitive when we have people complaining about obesity being a problem and then getting angry at the messaging that might push back against that imbalance.
It's not about denial. People just don't like the labeling of her as "plus sized" by the fashion industry and that's not because of a misunderstanding of the way the industry uses the term.Laymen's in denial.
Proportions matter so much though. Most size 14s don't look like that exactly.
And yet it is possible to be too thin. Being underweight is a huge problem as well. Maybe we should push for healthy weights rather than supermodel thin.
Going to be totally honest with you, I can't tell the size 6 or 10 apart lol. They both look like they are the same size to me x_x?
Size 14 doesn't look bad because she is airbrushed. Most people (men and women) who are of that size also have muffin tops and flab.

When you say being underweight is a "huge problem" (word choice is funny)... is "huge problem" referring to severity in the number of persons who are underweight, or referring to the severity of the problem for an individual person if they are underweight?
If it's the former -- the numbers -- I don't think that's true at all.
Her chest is bigger, but I'm having a hard time seeing the considerably thicker limbs, or the curves (aside from her chest).
Oh well. All three of them look very physically attractive to me. Most women don't look like any of those women...
Nothing stops the internet outrage machine. NOTHING!QUOTED FOR THE NEW PAGE
Calm down everyone.
For men who are confused as to why this is problem, imagine:
1) A women's basketball being portrayed as a men's basketball
2) A Nintendo Wii is as compared favorably for its graphics to a PS3/360
3) A someone in Subaru challenging you to a street race
Sometimes a message is being made that just comes across as retarded and that's what this usage of plus size is doing.

So... what is considered "normal" size for women? A 6?
