Quoting Leisurely Duchess:" Stop pretending you have all this empathy for fat people.  "

lol, whatever! I have a lot more empathy for people with medical issues now. Since I was pregnant and experienced AR, constipation, back aches, etc. it really opened my eyes to how much some people have to deal with. It's just sad when it's self inflicted. Like pain killers, how could anyone get addicted to them knowing they constipate you so much!! omg, that was one of my worst pregnancy symptoms  

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" Lmao dafuq is that?! Also, I just moved from KC a few months ago! Brookside area.  "

then you were basically down the street from me lol. Im in the Plaza area

You're hilarious. "I try not to judge fat people" which means you really do. That's why you thought diabeetus was a "prevalent" threat to society, fat people is something you linger on.  

Like, omg, how do people get addicted to pain killers after being on them for months from a serious spinal injury or something? This is so mysterious!

Quoting Leisurely Duchess:" You're hilarious. "I try not to judge fat people" which means you really do. That's why you thought diabeetus was a "prevalent" threat to society, fat people is something you linger on.  "

I do judge, I just think twice about it when I do. It's human nature to judge what is different from us. I just know the number of people with diabetes has gone up, and so has the number of obese people, and being obese is a risk factor associated with diabetes.....

First true thing you've said pretty much in the whole thread.

We also judge that which is familiar to us.

Quoting wombie:" Offended? no.......I mean, if they're selling plus size clothing, I think it's pretty appropriate to ... [snip!] ... a plus size mannequin. Now, the mannequin's head is a different story. It's freakin me out and it reminds me of this   "

Agreed and lol....

Quoting dat uterus tho:" What the smurf is wrong with it's head. I'm going to have nightmares   I like the mannequins in Torrid. They aren't freaky."

it shrunk, lol  

Quoting wombie:" I have to try smurf on too......because plus sized mannequins don't have fat rolls. I need to see how something looks on my fat rolls"

same here.

Quoting Ꭶwan♥Nemö:" then you were basically down the street from me lol. Im in the Plaza area"

My mom and grandma still live there! lol. I actually grew up in Odessa if you know where that is.

Quoting Colt's mommy:" What do you think of this mannquin? Are you "offended" by it? It was posted on my FB page and there's ... [snip!] ... to their demographic though. I am not offended by this, nor will I probably think about it again after this discussion, lol. "

No, why would I be?
Most of our population is overweight/obese. Why is it offensive to cater to the general population?
Big people need clothes too...

Quoting Ravey Candyass:" Finally. I'm tired of looking at skinny ass ones. I need one closer to my weight, so i can see how the clothes will really look."

this.

Quoting Krystal +2 Boys:" I don't think much of it, but I don't like the twig ones I mean why not make a normal size one not everybody ... [snip!] ... make one that is a normal size?? But eh we'll it gives people a example of what the cloths will look like on a bigger person"

"Normal" sized is overweight/obese.
The average size in the US for a woman is a 14. That's considered overweight/obese...
I weight 225 and wear a loose 16.

Quoting Jas ♥:" Offended? No. It looks ridiculous though. Probably because its head is so tiny. I''ve seen plus sized mannequins and they don't look anything like this."

Yeah, the head looks ridiculous..lol

Quoting wombie:" Offended? no.......I mean, if they're selling plus size clothing, I think it's pretty appropriate to ... [snip!] ... a plus size mannequin. Now, the mannequin's head is a different story. It's freakin me out and it reminds me of this   "

YES!..haha. I was thinking of that too.
