Not so for Spanish artist David Lopera: He uses photo manipulation to make svelte stars look 10 times heavier.

Must be a "deviantART" artist.

 

[Certinty]

Shit like this could turn me gay.

 

[Stinkles]

When sonic fans grow up.

I love big women, but I always found this shit creepy. There's tons of big women out there already, don't need to photoshop.

Yeah, this isn't about politics or body image, it's a fetish. Like pregnant Sonic.

 

[CrankyJay]

Hey you left out fat Mila Kunis

Keep reading.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I don't think this really counts as "plus size"

 

[JackLongRod]

This is weird as fuck

 

[Coreda]

When keeping it wrong gets real

 

[Kurita]

Yeah no

 

[Floridian]

Hey you left out fat Mila Kunis

 

[Arjen]

Why did I click this thread :/

 

[jerry1594]

I don't see it

[DiipuSurotu]

Keep reading.

Ohhh. :lol

 

[JC Lately]

Well this is... huh.

Not sure how I feel about it actually. It's like, there are plenty (though not enough if you ask me) of plus-sized/bbw models out there already, why Photoshop thin celebs? Seems weirdly backwards to me in a way I'm having difficulty articulating.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That is fucking hot. wow

 

[Black Republican]

BCT?

 

[jblank83]

I can't tell the difference.

 

[Junior Mint]

What the fuck

 

[captive]

when did the definition of plus size change?

Yea, seriously. This isn't plus size, its obesity.

 

[Mimosa97]

Since when does plus-size equate to morbid obesity ?

 

[Alchemy]

This is beyond plus-size. That kind of weight is problematic for your health.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Yeah "plus size" is beautiful. Dangerously obese isn't. At all. Kim Kardashian is already bigger Tha most and is fine as she is.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I didn't think this was plus-size. This is like obese.

 

[Hrothgar]

An actual plus sized woman could probably fit twice into these.

 

[Daemul]

I'm out

 

[BWJinxing]

This is what i thought. But i hate photomanipulations.

 

[depths20XX]

This is weird and that body size shouldn't be encouraged or celebrated.

This just comes off as a fetish thing.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Plus sized women already exist. I don't think this guy is going to convince anyone that being heavy is attractive by making photo shops of skinny woman.

The only people this really appeals to is people who already like both skinny and heavy women and would like some kind of weird "What If" situation.

 

[JustAnotherMike]

It's rare that you get to see the source material first for the random banner ads for porn sites.

 

[Maximo]

Definitely not plus size.

 

[ipukespiders]

Any obese people I've ever seen never have smooth skin like that.
Needs more cottage cheese filter.

 

[Enduin]

It's kind of ironic that he's taking unrealistic photoshopped photos of female celebrities and photoshopping them into as unrealistic, or more so, "makeovers" that only changes their weight, yet keeps their flawless skin and otherwise perfect features. It's perpetuating the same unreasonable expectations as the original photos just with a fat fetish veneer on top of it and yet think's it will change peoples perceptions of beauty. It's the same damn unrealistic perception, just morbidly obese.

 

[Hankodank]

 

[Necromanti]

It's always weird when the reaction to unreasonable body standards is to jump to the opposite end of the spectrum and euphemize morbid obesity as being "just a little chubby" or "overweight".

 

[DrSlek]

Sure bigger people can be attractive....doesn't mean obesity magically becomes healthy.

 

[Caddywompus]

I can't tell the difference.

Isn't that kind of mean to put an undoctored photo of her (Kim) when all the rest are clearly photoshopped?

 

[terrisus]

Hot.

Unfortunately, this will meet the same fate as all the other threads we've had about bigger women.

 

[Despera]

 

[HolyBaikal]

I miss when Ai Kago was plus sized. I know that's shallow and I shouldn't feel that way. And I feel like she's beautiful no matter how she is and how skinny she is.

Though.. I've been a fan of her since I was a teenager, and she was so cute to me when she wasn't so skinny like she is now. She's always adorable and wonderful. But I miss when she was more plus sized. I think that chubbiness on her is really flattering.

 

[Col WillieSharp]

Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got em.

 

[JC Lately]

Hot.

Unfortunately, this will meet the same fate as all the other threads we've had about bigger women.

Ordinarily, I'd be right there with you.

And yet something about this seems off.

 

[HolyBaikal]

All of the pictures here are of white women.

Why aren't there any women of colour?

 

[Ferrio]

All of the pictures here are of white women.

Why aren't there any women of colour?

That's your issue with this?

 

[Col WillieSharp]

Iggy ain't black?!?!?!

 

[terrisus]

Ordinarily, I'd be right there with you.

And yet something about this seems off.

I mean, it's obviously fake, and taking the "Photoshop women to look like how we want them, not how they actually look" issue to the extreme.

Still though, I think they look much better this way, and still would even if it were real.

 

[The Llama]

What in the what... This is just confusing.

 

[HolyBaikal]

That's your issue with this?

W-What should be my issue with this?

Is it offensive to draw or depict people as being more plus-size?

 

[AzureTranquility95]

You know, NeoGAF is unusually anti-fat considering the demographic of people that come here. :/
