Copium in comic.
She physically cannot pull it off due to size
The boyfriend works in healthcare and it’s just his job. Bless him.
This isn’t cringe at all… 🙄
It would maybe pass as not cringe if not for the last panel
It’s to show playfulness and that the artist doesn’t feel THAT strongly, imagine how cold the comic would be without it.
And then consider that women have been raised to be polite and apologetic to the point it is even a habit for most of us. I guess that’s why I can’t really see it as cringe even if I try.
The last panel just makes me feel like the artist went “haha wrecked them with that one”. It’s just… not for me
i dunno, i quite like the last panel
That’s actually a pretty good comeback tho…lol
But at the end of the day, it’s not true and they’re still obese
Buddy… at the end of the day it’s a fucking cartoon calm down
Similar or same delusional nonsense happens every day. It’s real. That’s the point, but instead of empowering it’s actually sad.
Nah dawg you’re the only sad one here, on a post about a joke, acting like some kind of fucking weirdo.
Yeah gimpchrist, you tell them.
The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time
I highly doubt the situation happened. Their insecurity manifested it and it was output into something that made them feel excused. In reality, no one outside of their own mind has thought or said this to them. At least not since junior school.
Just a bunch…

I feel like these clothes are the prefect match for the body type on the right. There are many clothes that might not fit the person the the right (also many wouldn’t fit the person on the left), but the ones in the comics are not these clothes.
I’ve been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.
Man, I thought Lemmy was supposed to be better than Reddit. These comments are proving me wrong.
Most of the negative comments are from Lemmy.world users, which is the instance that recieves the bulk of the Reddit crowd before the users find a more fitting instance.
Lemmy.world tends to attract people from Reddit that are too ideological to stay, but want the same thing as Reddit without the enshittification, so they go to the largest generalist instance first. Over time, some leave for more specialized instances, like Beehaw, Lemmy.ml, programming.dev, or blahaj.zone, so that leaves .world usually with newer accounts, or people who just want Reddit 2 before it went to shit.
Not saying everyone from .world is bad, of course not, but what drives users to .world over more niche instances is usually coming straight from Reddit.
I joined Lemmy.ml because it looked like the largest generalist instance plus apparently ran by Lemmy developers. Here you list it as a specialist one. Well, I couldn’t have known at the time. :D
I just don’t find obese women attractive, a little 胖乎乎的婴儿肥 is one thing, but not a serious health condition.
We all have our own attractions, that’s fine. However, people don’t have to meet our standards of beauty to exist and take part in society.
Okay, but let’s stop the creeping cultural psychosis and acknowledge it as a massive health crisis that some people have a fetish for.
Oh yeah, absolutely. I’m not saying that obesity is good, but I also don’t think we can judge people for it. If someone is learning how to love themselves, who are we to stand in their way for it?
Maybe they need that self love to push them forward and lose that weight? Maybe not. Regardless I don’t think telling people how they should or shouldn’t dress will bring anyone any sort of good.
It’s that old saying “if you don’t have anything good to say, perhaps don’t say anything at all.”
A huge amount of people here were Redditors not long ago.
I’m one of them. Still, was hoping the hate would be left behind.
A platform is nothing but a reflection of its users and of humanity :) An empty canvas we can fill.
Let’s smear shit and semen all over it!
This is one hell of a joke, love it.
Fat
and cute
Like yo momma.
Gottem
You can’t say that in Tumblr 2!
Let me guess, as an average lemmy user the chances are pretty high you are a white male in early adulthood, probably living off a very concerning diet but not gaining weight because of some genetical inability to build up fat.
Like, thats me, but I am aware of it. People can get fat if they eat as much as I do, which is not even much. Get a hold of your privileges dude.
I’m actually a 31 year old female living together with my bf and cat. I’m going to the gym about 2 to 3 times a week since a few months. My bmi at this moment is 24.1 which is still quite high but I’m getting there.
All I did was say fat. If that offended you, go to the gym.
This person gets it
BMI is kinda bogus, it doean’t take into account muscle vs fat. At peak working out with small waist, but visible muscle mass my chart BMI was Obese
I agree about BMI often being a bad measurement. Even my own doctors ignore it on me because my BMI is well into the obese range and yet every other measurement of health is in the healthy range, most well into it. My body fat for instance is just below 30%, which is perfectly healthy for a woman. My waist line is well into healthy range as well. Additionally, all my tests such as blood tests come back more than healthy and show that I’m not at risk for any obesity related conditions. Of course, I don’t look like the standard “healthy” body most people imagine a woman should have. I would look fat to anyone who doesn’t know the full picture.
That’s why I always hated that whole thing people say that “If you’re BMI is high and you’re still healthy it’ll be really obvious.” People just assume that high BMI and healthy means muscular, when you can have a normal body fat percentage as well as other measurements but still have a high BMI.
This is even ignoring the fact that even when you are genuinely obese and unhealthy, it often stems from body image issues in the first place. The same way a depressed person often goes “I’m doing everything wrong anyway so why bother even trying?” A fat person often is having the struggle of “I’m ugly anyway so why even bother trying to be pretty and healthy? Healthy just means I gotta live longer being ugly.” That’s why berating people for being fat usually doesn’t work. It just makes them feel worse and reinforces that idea they already have that they’re too ugly to bother. Sure, some people it might kick into gear to try their best to lose weight to prove they’re not ugly, but that’s the difference between somebody who still has hope and somebody that’s already lost it all.
Hahahaha, I love how the OP just smacked your little made up anecdote down
People can get fat if they eat as much as I do
Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It’s one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can’t really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.
Here’s a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?
It’s one thing to be fat because of a health
I’d argue it’s a mental health issue.
Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone
yup, sounds very psychological to me
also like… a mental health issue is also a health issue?
That’s not what I meant. I understand what hypohyroidism is. I just meant overweight people without something physical like that are probably going through something mentally. Is that controversial?
it’s not, but that’s not the way you phrased it originally
Yeah, I see how that could have been unclear, sorry. I wasn’t intending to dispute the quoted portion, but to expand on it.
More like phat
The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂
I think all women are beautiful but if you can’t live up to these strict standards, it’s not the end of the world.
Obese moment
Can any ladies comment, are girls ever actually this bitchy to each other? This has to be a bit of hyperbole right?
From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”
Not a woman, but a some teenager girls I met in high school were absolutely vicious.
Usually, they say it, but not directly to you. The attacking woman will tell another person in the group, and that person will usually tell the target woman what was said by the first woman just “because I thought you should know.” Very, very rarely is it said directly.
I also have seen a lot of people pull the move of talking too loud about things they hate about the target woman on purpose so that the target woman hears it, but can’t really confont the attacking woman because she “should mind her own business.”
That comeback makes the right one 500 times more attractive js
A sharp wit is more attractive than any physical feature.
Why all those downvotes? What did I miss?
Medically obese moment
If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don’t want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you
that comic is fatphobic. you’re making people believe that fat folx are cringe
Fat girls do more stuff
