And we come to it, the work that became the reason I left tumblr in the first place. So let me just preface this, this character is based on my own body. This is very similar in shape to the way that I look and as it was my first time drawing fat positive artwork it seemed appropriate to reference myself. I got a lot of flack from people about her “thigh gap”, well let me just say that not everyone has one and it’s not some magical thing that makes you attractive. I am a size 26 and I have a small one just because my hips are very wide set. So before you go jumping down my throat about how this doesn’t represent REAL FAT PEOPLE just stop. It may not represent you but it represents ME and a lot of other folks I’ve met and spoken to. So let’s not take something that was always meant to be a fun and positive statement and turn it into a shit storm this time. Trolls and fatphobes I can handle, the body positive community trying to make this some kind thigh gap crusade I can’t. Thank you. -- source link
