these are getting a ton of attention on twitter so here for tumblr too, really cute fat girls from an advertisement for anti chafe cream

holy shit can we talk about these for a hot second here, they are so pure

these are cute (!!!), realistically proportioned, non-sexualized depictions of fat women’s bodies, in a recognizably standard anime style

these characters have big arms, round faces with double chins, wide frames (that don’t conform to the hourglass huge-hip/tiny-waist/enormous-boobs “acceptable fat” model), and are presented in poses that read as happy, excited, fun-loving, and even flirty (but again, not overtly sexual – these are obviously characters, not simply bodies for consumption)

and they still look like they could be right at home on the pages of a shoujo manga

so i don’t ever wanna hear anybody say again that they can’t draw fat people because they don’t fit your “style” or you think they can’t be cute or pretty or non-fetishized. that’s a load of fatphobic crap and you need to do better. learn from this.

The condition is typically characterised by high levels of testosterone, ovarian cysts, irregular menstrual cycles, and problems regulating sugar, but the causes have long been a mystery. “It’s by far the most common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age but it hasn’t received a lot of attention,” says Robert Norman at the University of Adelaide in Australia.
