Body positive casting thread 👩

Vrsumo2017 PieInSky but far from rotund

Sorry for asking but what does that mean?

It's what you say when one of your girlfriend's friends returns from vacation with a little extra around the hips. It's kind of like "plump" but a little more delicate -- a euphemism. It's more polite than terms like "obese", "fatso", "sumo-sized", "corpulent", "heavy", "portly", and "stout" (the last two being most commonly applied to men). "Far from rotund" is what your girlfriend would be most likely to accept without getting angry if applied to her somewhat-heavy friend returning from a European vacation with a little added adipose

withy I deleted your comment. Don't yuck other people's yum. If you don't have any suggestions or these women are not your personal taste, then feel free to ignore this thread.

justsomedude101 So, you are saying that encouraging people to advocate for "thicc" women has no effect on other subscribers? Sorry, but if you are putting a possibility out there that affects the quantity or quality of what I m paying for, then you have to allow positive AND negative comments to assess what your subscriber base - as a whole - desires to see. As I said already, suggesting something and only allowing positive feedback on it is an echo chamber. Expressing dislike for a suggestion isn't "shitting on their fun", it's expressing an opinion that is different than theirs. This isn't a SJW encounter session, it's a porn forum for customers to express what they do and do not like.

And given that I like immersive, well-produced, correctly shot, not blurry, not out-of-scale, not in a warehouse VR porn - NO, I am NOT getting content geared to my taste every day, which is why I expressed the opinion that maybe you should solve THOSE issues (which apply to the great majority of the user base) before you go traipsing down another niche road.

ibins this thread has nothing to do with societal issues. People have different tastes in porn. Get over it.

ibins There's no question that obesity is a huge problem in society, but the idea of "body positivity" is just that no one should feel ashamed or "less-than" because of the body they inhabit. Not every large person is unhealthy, and even if they were, they still deserve love and respect (and to get railed on camera if they so choose).

Aesthetics/sexual preferences/fetishes aside, "body positivity" is just about being kind to people no matter how they're shaped.

(Edit: to be clear, I know there are people in the "fat acceptance" movement that are "pro-fat", which is not the same thing.)

TBH as much as i am huge fan of curvy, curvier, bbw, ssbbw etc (literally the 1st catgories i look at when i log in) i was not a fan of the phrase body positive as the name of curvy girls thread.
I have always disliked it just because the whole body positivity movement/ideaolgy allways seem to be aimed at positivity for curvier people.

Untill i read this excellent statement.
Mutiny
Very well put. You changed my mind.

In this day and age and being adults we should be positive about everyones body shapes/types, and if something is not to your tastes grow up suck it up and keep scrolling.

Mutiny "body positivity" seems to be largely about obese women attempting to normalize obesity and make it something that is more socially acceptable. theres a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way and instead of taking the hint from society and working to improve themselves or accepting the reality, these women convince themselves that its normal and okay and then try to spread that view. its a basically a coping mechanism to deal with the discrimination they face.

dojimmy You changed my mind.

A mind was changed?!? This may be the first time that's ever happened on the internet.
Thanks for your message. Appreciate ya.

spacepirate theres a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way and instead of taking the hint from society and working to improve themselves or accepting the reality

I hear you, but to be fair, if we all took the hint from society porn wouldn't exist. Society loves to condemn from its mouth what it's hiding behind its back.

And we all have places we can grow. Maybe what, for you, would just be about a lack of self control is, for someone else, a real symptom of clinical depression. Emotional eating to mask pain is a bitch. Believe me, I know.

spacepirate a coping mechanism to deal with the discrimination they face

That feels like a valid thing to me. We all get one ride on this rock, so if someone needs a coping mechanism to make it more pleasant, I say let 'em have it. (So long as it doesn't hurt others, which, I recognize is the struggle we're all having with this topic. Encouraging other people to do unhealthy things is not great.)

ibins Nobody and especially not me said that anyone should be ashamed of their body or for the matter what kind of body types they like.

It's clear from all your replies your concern is the health and well-being of others, and I fully respect that. I should have quoted you so I could clarify what I was responding to.

ibins euphemisms like "positivity"

This is the part that prompted my message, which was just to define what I mean when I use that word. Not as a euphemism, but as an attitude of kindness and positivity toward everyone, regardless of how they're shaped. (Same as I would for their skin color or who they love or what they do for a living.)

I did mention the difference between "body positivity" and "fat acceptance" which is kind of the same thing but also not, because humans have a bad habit of drawing a circle around a group of people and saying "this is what they believe". Three people never agree on a pizza order, so how are 50,000 all supposed to believe exactly the same thing?

In every big movement, there are people on one side who say "Yeah, maybe we should change this a little bit" and people on the other side who are like, "Let's burn the whole world down and start over" and many, many more people somewhere in between.

If we draw a big circle around the "body positivity/fat acceptance" movement, there are people who are loudly PRO-FAT, and I do not agree with them. But there are people, like me, who just believe we should welcome fat people into our lives and enjoy them as humans (like you mentioned you do) without making them feel ashamed for the way they look. (And it's a beautiful thing to be supportive for someone who is ready to make a healthy change. But we can't push them into that. They have to be ready for their own reasons.)

My position is just...Listen to people who live in a large body. See what their experience is like. Empathize with them. I think, if people do that, they'll want to step into that "body positivity" circle, and find their own place in it.
