Airbrushed isn't a significant problem??? Wow. And you call ME delusional…

And honestly, what is it with you going against fat people wanting to FEEL GOOD in their own skin? Every person has that right, to feel good in their own skin, to celebrate themselves. Of course, in your world it must be a felony for a fat woman to have self confidence or have people who disagree with your claim that they are too fat to be considered attractive. And you STILL refuse to consider the idea that fat comes in different sizes. There are a considerable amount of people, including myself, who DO NOT SHOW THEIR WEIGHT IN THEIR BODY TYPE. You said it yourself "Between Oprah and Nicole Ritchie, lies a whole world of choices that are hot."

I am not saying all fat women are good people, nor am I saying all skinny women are bitches, but quite frankly the hatred against fat people is quite tiring. We know we are big as fuck. We hear it from the doctors. We don't need to hear it from fuckers who obviously have too much time on their hands to go out of their way to remind us that we're going to lonely and in considerable pain because of the love handles we have. You said that "she is too big to be an honest contender in a beauty pageant." Reality check: she's runner up. Nothing you can do about it. The big girl got in and made her way to the top, along with many other fat women in the fashion and advertising industry. Because obviously SOMEBODY finds it attractive.

Besides, with the amount of video around these days your dreamign if you think air-brushed still are a significant problem They aren't.

Your next comment is the most telling… "Yeah, she isn't the "norm" and quite frankly, it's about damn time we had someone who wasn't beat out those who are.". You have to love the avergae revenge fantasy. Damn right! Put all those girls who didn;t love you in their place. You'll show them! Who needed a pony anyway!

"There actually ARE people out there who are attracted to overweight people". Of course their are… social dynamics require it. Not only is it well within the variation for a large population but in any situation where a desirable resource is scarce the majority will find a way to be happy with the sub-optimal.

As for this… "as fat people are the lowest denomination of human" you must not be paying attention. it used to be terrorists but after the last election it is those evil greedy "capitalists". Socialism is the new black, baby.

Your own prejudices show here in this comment as well… "So skinny gold diggers are better than a fat girls with a good heart, huh?". Once again, not only is your own paranoia (the base assertion) wrong but so is your weak attempt at creating a false choice. Not nearly all fat chicks are good people, and not nearly all hot ones are bitches.

I'll take hot and good hearted thanks

"Because this fat girl is more honest than that" – you go right on with your bad self. Fight the power. Desert is a revolutionary act.

Yeah, she isn't the "norm" and quite frankly, it's about damn time we had someone who wasn't beat out those who are. To say fat people as a whole aren't attractive is bull. Just as there can be fugly as hell skinny and "normal" size people, there can be beautiful people who are overweight. There actually ARE people out there who are attracted to overweight people, but they are ostracized by society for "lowering their standards," as fat people are the lowest denomination of human. So skinny gold diggers are better than a fat girls with a good heart, huh?

Also, let us get one thing straight about body types. There are 12 body types to a woman. 12. Meaning fat people can come in various shapes, not just the stereotypical shape of BLOB. Chloe Marshall is one of those folks who DOESN'T fit that blob body type, along with PLENTY of others, including myself. Too overweight to be attractive my fat ASS.

Just as you can be honest about calling out a fat person on their fatness, I'm calling out the bull that skinny is the only beauty. Because this fat girl is more honest than that.

Of course this is what happens when people don't have the balls to be honest. Lots of guys (and gals) won;t come out and say "fat is simply not attractive to me". They will try and be sneaky and talk about the health issues. "No honey, I don't care that you have an ass like a zebra I am just worried about your HEALTH". That way (they think) they can get the wife to the gym and still come off like a good guy.

I am much more honest than that

The NRA fell into the same trap. Instead of saying "guns are important because they let us kill any scumbag who tries to hurt us instead of cowering like sheep till the cops arrive" they got all weepy about "hunting". The result? Idiocy like the "assault weapons" ban.

So yes, it is quite possible that you can be too overweight to be really attractive but still be healthy (for the moment). Good for you, I hope you have a long and healthy life filled with joy.

By the way this whole idea that "Oh, but that's right, we can't let folks know that" like there is some vast conspiracy is just paranoia and wallowing in the joy of perceived victim hood.

As for your last comment? I actually think she got that far for political and publicity reasons. Hell, I'm surprised they had the guts to not give her the crown.

Oh, but that's right, we can't let folks know that. We have to keep up the facade that fat people are slobs and blobs of flesh ALONE. Please. Fat people are active too. Don't believe the hype.

And the woman got THAT FAR in a BEAUTY pagent. Meaning she had more to her than just her weight to keep her in. You make it seem that just because of her weight, she shouldn't be considered beautiful. Obviously the judges saw more to her than just that one number.

Even your comment shows a complete lack of the shades of Grey you seem to want to instill in us. Obviously the only people who are thin, trim or toned are going to "kill themselves for a barbie doll perfection"… I mean, we all know the only mentally healthy and balanced people are the chunky ones, right?

Please.

You are right obviously – there are a lot of women shaped like her out there (kind of, in many of her other pictures you can see that she is, in fact, rather large). The thing is that whether or not she is “average” doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not she is fat or attractive. It just means lots of folks are fat.
