a lot of people draw fat characters as like Vaguely Round stomach, throw on stretch marks (drawn in a way that stretch marks DO NOT work) and often body hair (for some reason?? like i’m fat and have body hair but it seems like fat artwork is OBSESSED with adding it on as some sort of statement), pert boobs, maybe the glimmer of a double chin, big ol’ thighs cause they’re in vogue rn, and maybe round upper arms

and it’s like… zero acknowledgement of sag

or how you can be fat and have small boobs/ass/thighs/hips

no thick neck along with the double chin

no fat rolls

all fat people are also drawn to have looooong legs as if to apologize for the rest of the proportions

i look at a “fat” character and what i see is just a skinny character with weight added on, even though that’s not how that works

and it’s just very clear to me that some artists want credit for “diversity” but don’t want to actually look at fat bodies. they apologize with hyper feminine outfits or the implication that the fat character is athletic or something. the fat character still has the perfect figure because “well, some fat people DO still have curves like that!”

we’re thicc and thick and “chubby” and plus size.

but we’re never actually fat. even the “largest” characters i have seen drawn are just… larger chubby girls. zero acknowledgement of how fatness actually works.
