Like... have you ever seen an actual chubby person? 😭 Makes me feel even worse when looking at myself.

Some people have genuinely lost all touch with reality when it comes to recognizing a healthy body and also the fact that bodies come in so so many shapes and there isn’t just *one* healthy type. It’s so much more complex

EXACTLYYYYY it's so infuriating

Like, I am far away from being skinny, so if you call a person with a healthy amount of body fat chubby what would you call me then? A whale?? Because I'm definitely not chubby anymore, I am fat. that's just a fact. But that makes me worry how people with such views see me. It's just sad

At the same time, I kinda want to try and diversify the kinds of bodies I draw. Maybe drawing characters with a similar build to mine would help me feel a little better about myself. I've been scared to do that so far especially if someone were to insult the characters, they'd unkowingly insult me.

Anyways, sorry about the ramble 😭 it's a thing that has bothered me a lot, especially lately. I just hope there will be more diversity with characters in both animation and gaming, so that people get to be more accepting of other body types
