That’s actually a pretty good comeback tho…lol
The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time
I highly doubt the situation happened. Their insecurity manifested it and it was output into something that made them feel excused. In reality, no one outside of their own mind has thought or said this to them. At least not since junior school.
Just a bunch…
Someone told a mistruth on the Internet?! Surly this must be a first, we should do something about this post haste
L’esprit de l’escalier
Treppenwitz
L’esprit de les BD, maybe. I don’t know, I’m not studying French.
More like “L’esprit des BD” but good attempt anyway.

But at the end of the day, it’s not true and they’re still obese
Buddy… at the end of the day it’s a fucking cartoon calm down
Similar or same delusional nonsense happens every day. It’s real. That’s the point, but instead of empowering it’s actually sad.
Nah dawg you’re the only sad one here, on a post about a joke, acting like some kind of fucking weirdo.
Yeah gimpchrist, you tell them.

This isn’t cringe at all… 🙄
Something about this feels like it’s ten years old. It was a different time.
It would maybe pass as not cringe if not for the last panel
It’s to show playfulness and that the artist doesn’t feel THAT strongly, imagine how cold the comic would be without it.
And then consider that women have been raised to be polite and apologetic to the point it is even a habit for most of us. I guess that’s why I can’t really see it as cringe even if I try.
The last panel just makes me feel like the artist went “haha wrecked them with that one”. It’s just… not for me
i dunno, i quite like the last panel
Dont fight girls, I’ll pull it off both of you
A man of culture
I’ve been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.
Same, thought it might go in a different direction
Something about that just feels… kinda great, definitely sounds like something one should strive for.

I thought the snowflakes stayed on reddit, but apparently me saying “Copium in comic” is too offensive for moderators.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She physically cannot pull it off due to size
The boyfriend works in healthcare and it’s just his job. Bless him.
Safety shears.
I feel like these clothes are the prefect match for the body type on the right. There are many clothes that might not fit the person the the right (also many wouldn’t fit the person on the left), but the ones in the comics are not these clothes.
“Body type”? Is obesity a body type?
“body type” has always been a general term to express the entire shape, size and proportions of a person, including excess weight and obesity.
When I was obese I couldn’t pull off crop tops because of my body size, it was incredibly unflattering, and now that I’m a healthy weight I still can’t pull off crop tops because of my body proportions, I have a short torso.
Body type encompasses both scenarios, so it’s often thought of as a polite way to tell someone something is unflattering without singling out specific “flaws” in their body.
Until its only used for this because our society sucks and just becomes a euphemism, because we can’t have nice things.
That makes a bit more sense. I was initially reminded of the various pseudo-scientific attempts to classify variations in human body shapes, which usually don’t factor in great variations in body fat content. The way it’s used in the image made me think this was an attempt to frame an unhealthy lifestyle as something inherent that can’t be changed.
Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.
…yes?
“Type” is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?
No, like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type
Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.
Peak reddit conversation.
ah yes the Ayurveda, an excellent scientific take on the medical condition of the body, my back aches because my Adam’s apple is haunted.
What are you trying to say?
you: “is this type of body a body type?”
me: “yes, a type is a type”
you: “no, I meant something really specific” (provides a list of lists)
me: (looking at the list of lists): “this is pure nonsense”
I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.
Respectfully — that’s not what you said, though, until now.
It’s an illness.
Hey mods… Ever heard of free speech? People can have opinions… Let people decide by upvotes and down votes. Why the unnecessary censoring?

the censored comments are probably literal death threats against fat people or anyone who would dare support them 😬

The girl on the right is fucking hot. The comic is for girls that do not look like her but think they do 😂
I think all women are beautiful but if you can’t live up to these strict standards, it’s not the end of the world.
Obese moment
I would have been that boyfriend. I always saw women like the right as more attractive and sexual than women like the left. It would infuriate a couple of my friends because I was a pretty boy who had the attention of women they found more appropriate, but I could never get them to understand that those women were like background extras to me in dating terms. It’s not even something I willfully do, it just feels natural and correct to want a bbw vixen.
Of course people have different taste, nothing weird or unusual about that.
Have we all forgotten about the Venus of Willendorf?
Men have always liked em thicc
I for sure don’t
Did not know Cleopatra or majority of the Asian or Latino beauties over centuries were fat.
Can any ladies comment, are girls ever actually this bitchy to each other? This has to be a bit of hyperbole right?
Not a woman, but a some teenager girls I met in high school were absolutely vicious.
Usually, they say it, but not directly to you. The attacking woman will tell another person in the group, and that person will usually tell the target woman what was said by the first woman just “because I thought you should know.” Very, very rarely is it said directly.
I also have seen a lot of people pull the move of talking too loud about things they hate about the target woman on purpose so that the target woman hears it, but can’t really confont the attacking woman because she “should mind her own business.”
Not a chick but when booze is involved it can get rough lol
ooh yeah I am a woman and thankfully I don’t drink alcohol ever, and if I did I could see how my mouth would get very ascerbic. I have so many bitter, cutting, scathing opinions about people, and I learn to keep them to myself, but if I ever had alcohol, I’m pretty sure I would let it all go and probably would have been murdered in a bar a long time ago
From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”
That comeback makes the right one 500 times more attractive js
A sharp wit is more attractive than any physical feature.
Why all those downvotes? What did I miss?
Medically obese moment
Fat girls do more stuff
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.
Takes all kinds.
