Ok Wow

Normally I wouldn't post something like this, but it has to be done.

After posting that SP genderswap drawing and reading the comments as they came in, I noticed a really horrible trend.

'Why is Kyle fat?'

'Kyle looks fat.'

etc

You guys, the girl version of Kyle I drew wasn't fat. I'm not gonna lie, the fact that so many people actually think she was fat is scary. It's straight up fucking terrifying. Because it shows just how warped people's sense of body image is. The media, celebrities, advertisements, they all glorify this particular thin body type that most people don't have, and because of that, people with curvier, heavier body types that are well within the healthy body range are being labeled 'fat' (Not that there is anything wrong with having a heavy, 'fat' body type).

And the fact that people, especially girls under the age of 18, think like that...it makes my heart ache.

There is nothing wrong with having big hips. Hell, there's nothing wrong with tiny hips. Big breasts or small breasts, both are ok. Long legs, short legs. Both ok. Trim stomach, large stomach. Both are ok. And everything in between is just as good too.

The female body comes in all different shapes and sizes. There is no one 'perfect' type. That's apart of the Beauty Myth. Different cultures and time periods value different figures. What some find attractive or ideal isn't what others do.


So stop bashing perfectly good body types.
