But really you are going a bit extreme.
Should the Olympics allow normal athletes to participate - one step farther - Special Olympics, why don't they let non special people compete???!!!??!
But just one last time Uhoh. If the two models in this thread are "fat" then you need to redefine "fat".
The reason we want to see "normal" is because we see so much photoshop (not saying the photos in this thread are not photoshopped) and too thin models, people start to have unrealistic ideas of body image and what is "normal".
You are probably one of those guys who only dates girls with ITG
I also didn't watch the Special Olympics, what did I miss?
It's obvious you guys have had this discussion before, so how about not having it all over again in this thread?
I posted this to be a positive thread about how trend setters like SI are featuring natural, healthy body types more often, helping the rest of society to accept bigger women who are healthy and fit.
Hey now, some men are allowed to find ITG sexy and I'm one of them. I like how the next picture is some 70lb anorexic suffering from not only malnutrition but mental issues as if that is what guys mean by slim.
The stickler here seems to hinge on the word "normal". Its very interpretation is what is leading to an otherwise unnecessary argument. Replace the word 'normal' instead with 'average'. Based on that, the average in North America for a woman is 5'4 and 140-145lbs. Not sure where FGW gets the impression of 5'1 and 105, all I have to say to that is I wish! In China maybe.

Do subscribers to SI automatically get the swimsuit edition? Do you have to pay more? Opt in? Opt out?
The 2015 cover of Hannah leaves very little to the imagination. Another inch and her lady parts are out.
I can see many parents getting upset if this is automatically mailed to their houses. I, on the other hand, may have to run out and pick up the issue.

Yes, it comes for no extra charge, with the normal paid subscription. However, about 6-8 weeks before, SI has a short blurb in each issue that indicates anyone not wishing to receive it can notify them and their normal subscription will be extended. I can only guess at how many would choose to opt out. It is a men's magazine, right?
And it is wrapped in cellophane and if you have ever known anyone who works for the USPS, you would understand why.
My sense is, you have got the two ladies mixed up.Did you actually look at the Ashley Graham pic?
6'2" tall and has a rocking body. How on earth could you call her fat?
Robin Lawley is the model who is 6'2" tall, she is not fat, she is tall.
Generally, BBW refers to horizontal distance not vertical distance.
Looking at Ashley Graham, and I didn't even know who she was until this thread, I would have no issue with anybody who called her fat, or any other euphemism, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I do know the vast majority of the guys on this board would book a session with Robin Lawley, before they would book a session with Ashley Graham, based on the photos alone.
OMG, I think they are trying out for the new planned Michelin Tire ad campaign, geared towards female customers, and to be known as the "Michelin Woman".OK, they went a little too far with the centrefold:
We are all familiar with the "Michelin Man" ads.
With a couple of more body fat rolls, the one on the left should be a cinch....:thumb:
There wasn't any need to be condescending. Thank you for providing the most hyperbolic of examples. This is more what I have in mind.
I take real issue with the word "normal". We are all unique and beautiful in our own ways. By calling one type normal people are basically saying most women do/should look like this. People don't realize body shaming goes both ways. She doesn't reflect my image... Should I feel ashamed or like there's something wrong with me, because I'm not "normal"? Women should all uplift and support each other in our unique life experiences instead of trying to dictate to each other who is "normal" and who is not..
