About the pilot of your ship in the obesiverse

I’m a middle aged white guy average to chubby build who is enthralled with the size acceptance movement out of a passion, as in most cases! In my particular case, I am hopelessly physically attracted to a “type” of woman who just happens to be considered “obese” in today’s modern culture. While a simple attraction to a particular type would not be viewed as a “big deal” in most cases, I am particularly intrigued with the confusion and complete lack of belief that some people experience when faced with the harsh truth that there are some guys that like “fat chicks”.

In itself, the simplest solution to a guy in my situation would be to shack up with a nice round fatty and be happy. Unfortunately, living several decades in this type of situation has educated me to a whole hell of a lot of wrong going on in our “culture”. When it comes to the care for and simple respect of our super-sized brothers and sisters, our culture seems to revert back to the “string’em up” days before another certain civil rights movement came along. Does it have to get to that point before somebody calls attention to the lack of political correctness for the undisputed disability of obesity?

While words of “hate” can’t be used without risk of a show being canceled or a blog getting deleted, it is totally acceptable for people to continue to openly discriminate against people of size. The media is not countering this phenomenon, but instead, it is catering to the sponsors selling products meant to “cure” this “problem”. If there was a “cure” in existence, there would be no obese people! There is just too much money to be made to be nice to the fatty. The diet drugs, the surgeries, the “healthy” processed food products, the list goes on and on. It’s just too lucrative to be mean to fatty to make them feel bad and sell them stuff to make them think they are doing something about it. In reality, dieting and failing over and over creates more larger people, which means more money for products and surgeries!

So, there is no money in openly discriminating or persecuting anyone for race, age, sex, or sexual preference. Not only is there no money in it, but there may be penalties! My guess is that as long as there is a dollar to be made, there will never be respect given to people of size until enough people make it obvious that somebody gives a f*ck.

What’s worse is that there is a percentage of people of size who do enough hating on themselves to make it impossible to demand respect for who they are and what they look like. Any formal attempt at size acceptance started back when I was born, but more people I talk to have been exposed to plus sized erotica than size acceptance propaganda. I hope that in this information age, the blog is the way to educate and enlighten more people about what is going on and how somebody has to point this stuff out before people of size just start “disappearing”.

I have worked more with photographic media in the past, capturing the look of what I find to be totally feminine, womanly, and attractive. I create work whenever I get the chance in the hopes that the sight of my work will inspire someone to look at themselves and celebrate the unique look they possess instead of seeing size as the thing that ruins everything else. As I get older, I seem to have more to say on the subject because of my personal experiences and all of the research I have done. While I never took opportunities to be more involved with formal size acceptance groups, I feel that I have something to contribute to the size acceptance movement nonetheless.
