    If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don’t want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you

      “body type” has always been a general term to express the entire shape, size and proportions of a person, including excess weight and obesity.

      When I was obese I couldn’t pull off crop tops because of my body size, it was incredibly unflattering, and now that I’m a healthy weight I still can’t pull off crop tops because of my body proportions, I have a short torso.

      Body type encompasses both scenarios, so it’s often thought of as a polite way to tell someone something is unflattering without singling out specific “flaws” in their body.

      Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.

      …yes?

      “Type” is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?

          ah yes the Ayurveda, an excellent scientific take on the medical condition of the body, my back aches because my Adam’s apple is haunted.

              you: “is this type of body a body type?”

              me: “yes, a type is a type”

              you: “no, I meant something really specific” (provides a list of lists)

              me: (looking at the list of lists): “this is pure nonsense”

                I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.

      I just don’t find obese women attractive, a little 胖乎乎的婴儿肥 is one thing, but not a serious health condition.

        We all have our own attractions, that’s fine. However, people don’t have to meet our standards of beauty to exist and take part in society.

          Okay, but let’s stop the creeping cultural psychosis and acknowledge it as a massive health crisis that some people have a fetish for.

    Hey mods… Ever heard of free speech? People can have opinions… Let people decide by upvotes and down votes. Why the unnecessary censoring?

    The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂

    I think all women are beautiful but if you can’t live up to these strict standards, it’s not the end of the world.

    I’ve been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.

    I feel like these clothes are the prefect match for the body type on the right. There are many clothes that might not fit the person the the right (also many wouldn’t fit the person on the left), but the ones in the comics are not these clothes.

    I would have been that boyfriend. I always saw women like the right as more attractive and sexual than women like the left. It would infuriate a couple of my friends because I was a pretty boy who had the attention of women they found more appropriate, but I could never get them to understand that those women were like background extras to me in dating terms. It’s not even something I willfully do, it just feels natural and correct to want a bbw vixen.
