As a non smoker, I do. Not sure why that's relevant.

Because there are plenty of things which could indicate poor health in a person.

Except I'm going to lie about my weight.

That life preserver just wouldn't work.

She'd keep it from drowning.








Oh god I'm so sorry

 

[Alucrid]

Ah, yes. Tess.

She was a plus size model before... a legit one, curvy and gorgeous.

She then bought into FA full stop, ballooned a huge amount of weight, and now if you look at her without Photoshop (her skin is not smooth), and the fake facial structure (all contouring and Photoshop)... it is really something else.

what is FA

I am almost afraid to ask, but what is FA?

 

[Ahasverus]

Great face but definitely looks like she's at an unhealthy overall weight.

That's weeeeeeeeeeeell past unhealty.

 

[Caboose]

Now alright I don't mind a little thickness, but she's morbidly obese and that shit ain't healthy. Thumbs down.

Google came up with fat admirer.

Edit - backslashbunny got it first and my Google-fu is horrible.

 

[Booshka]

That amount of weight on heels looks brutal.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I'll say she has a pretty face and leave it at that. Good for her.

 

[Dead Man]

FA is "fat acceptance."

You can google it. I really liked the idea of it, but it spiraled into something else that I can't agree with.

Like almost everything in life, moderation is key. People suck at not going all in on an idea and then ruining it.

oh ok, thanks. i might not

i got 4chan's fashion place, which i correctly assumed was wrong

Fat acceptance. Educate yourself.

a testament to what good manufacture gets you, though.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

No gracias. Not my cup of tea.

 

[Octavia]

If this is something she REALLY wants, like legit likes herself for it, then I suppose that's an achievement then. Regardless, I don't really like the idea that "Being obese is okay!" as it's pretty much like saying "getting blackout drunk every other day is okay!" or "Smoking 2 cartons a day is okay!" or "Eating 400 calories in kale is okay!"

They're all self destructive behavior, and indicator an underlying problem, which is not okay. It requires help.

 

[Wasteman]

Jesus. There's nothing wrong with being obese, but doesn't stop it from being stupid.

 

[-MD-]

Gross.

[Entropia]

marketing yourself works

Pretty much the jist of it.

 

[Winterfang]

You guys are being too mean, do you want this to become a graveyard thread?

I don't find her attractive at all but according to her, my beauty standards can get fucked. And she was signed by a major agency, so what do I know?

 

[Floridian]

Jesus. There's nothing wrong with being obese, but doesn't stop it from being stupid.

There's something wrong with being obese.

Will someone please think of the children

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

This looks like a shot from a live action musical based on Pixar's Wall-E.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

 

[Dead Man]

It really is a shame. What started out as not bullying fat people and not degrading them or thinking they are inferior (basically, antifatshaming), became a strange movement rooted in antiscience and pseudoscience.

Really strong message initially, but it became...well...just look at Tess.

Yeah

 

[BobbyRobby]

I get annoyed when people claim they are healthy at any weight because it's a lie. Don't care if she wants to get fat and become a model. It's her body.

It's like smoking or taking drugs. Everyone has vices.

 

[MMaRsu]

Yup, thats too much

 

[terrene]

I don't find her attractive at all but according to her, my beauty standards can get fucked. And she was signed by a major agency, so what do I know?

Re: Her signing to an agency; that shouldn't necessarily be an endorsement of her personal activism. It's more likely that there is a market for clothes for people this size and they need models to wear and sell those clothes, pure and simple.

 

[God Dayumm]

I like the sailor pic!

 

[OricWindstar]

While agree this isn't promoting a healthy lifestyle, let's not pretend most models are where we should be telling people to aim for.

And, as others have said, it isn't like she's being made the poster girl for a health movement.

 

[bcl0328]

her face is pretty hot. she would be gorgeous if she lost weight.

i can't tell you how many girls i see with a hot face, but are just way overweight.

 

[Kurdel]

Fat acceptance. Educate yourself.

Wow, these people are serious? What a revolting idea, fat acceptance, holy christ.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Fuck it, she's good looking. I'd buy her dinner and take her dancing.

You know America is rotten when not only is it not giving a shit about obesity being a serious health pandemic that needs to be addressed urgently, but is celebrating it as "beauty".

Well if you read the posts here you'll see that it really isn't being celebrated as "beauty".

 

[loaf of bread]

Theres nothing wrong with being overweight and people shouldn't be made fun of or criticized for it, but it is a real health issue and should be strived to get rid of, not embraced.
