I'm still bummed out that Ice Cream Girls never got finished. THAT is one of the all-time pregnancy weight gain story GOATs for me.

It feels like they honestly, and I say this as someone who's just turned 42 this year...it feels like they honestly have made ZERO progress on this issue since about 1990. Whoever the makeup and SFX artists are, it's like they couldn't be bothered to Google pictures of BBWs or even plus-sized models like Ashley Graham or Loey Lane or something. We don't NEED fucking orangutan dewflaps on EVERY...SINGLE...FAT...FACE. Fuck's sake, they even did it to Ryan Reynolds in one of his old romcoms! It's infuriating that fat people have to be caricatured like this, instead of being allowed to look unique or to have more slender faces than whatever the FUCK that is.

Whew...so...there's been a lot of stuff discussed in this thread that really had an impact on me growing up, much as it did for all of you: various episodes of cartoons like Totally Spies, Total Drama Island, The Simpsons (the "King Sized Homer" episode was absolutely appointment viewing for me, and I think it might have been the first time I actually used my parents' VCR to record an episode of a TV show!) and stuff like that. But if I go back further, I can remember a specific Loony Tunes cartoon where Daffy Duck swaps places with a turkey in order to steal ALL of the food that that farmer was gorging the turkey with to fatten it up. Daffy helps the turkey to lose weight, while at the same time becoming HUGELY fat himself. This shit sounds like it could have been a weight-gain fanfic over on someplace like Dimensions Forums or something back in the day, but I swear it was a real cartoon, and it had a HUGE effect on young me.

The movie "PIGGY" was originally an ALTER short horror film. It was pretty fucked up, but kudos to the filmmakers for actually using a fat girl (and I say "girl" because I'm honestly not sure how old the lead shown in the pictures above was at the time of filming) in a movie like this, and NOT opting for a cheap-ass fat-suit or shitty CGI.

The look on his face...I think that would be all of us in his place, LOL!

And now instead of being a cute plumper, she's just a skinny chick with saggy skin and an out-of-place potbelly. Losing THAT MUCH weight was a mistake, I think.

They...do? Mind sharing?

Is it just me or are there some pregnant women on the opposite corners of that poster? Can't quite tell if they're fat/bloated or pregnant....

Whoever the photog is, they just got BUSTED, LOL!

Is it just me, or do the two ladies on the left of the picture look suspiciously like Big Angel's Michiko and Eripyo?

Ember's ALWAYS been kinda thicc...she got downright chubby at one point in her WWE main roster run, but slimmed back down to "thicc" status shortly before they just gave up and decided to do nothing with her.

Where is that "Just stop" Michael Jordan GIF when you need it, LOL.

Under her real name, no less. And yeah...of ALL the women's wrestlers whom you COULD post here, Becky Lynch is the absolute FURTHEST thing from "pudgy", let alone "chubby", "thicc" or "fat". Not everyone needs to be Doudrop sized, but Bex is absolutely SHREDDED and honestly, depending on the angle, sometimes looks worryingly thin.

I like to think that as Deonna keeps gaining weight, the promotions she wrestles for keep on having to have her wrestle even FATTER women, in order to maintain the illusion of Deonna not being that fat. One day she's going to be left with only maybe three women, tops, who even remotely make her look slim.

Yeah, you'd have thought that the movie would explain her clearly Australian accent in some way, given that it takes place in America, But whatever, it's not like I'm honestly going to watch this movie, and it'll be interesting to see if she pulls a Melissa McCarthy and plumps back up a bit, if and when those "leading lady" roles fail to materialize for her.
