Why the SI Swimsuit Issue Should NOT Feature Plus-Sized "Models" (Page 5)

[Anonymous]

"Waah i have the Internet so i have never bought a SI swimsuit issue in my life but I'm still mad other guys jerk off to girls i don't find attractive.

Bruh. Get out of other people's business.

[CoolSky01]

The due is right you know... people who bust their asses to look good have to shut up because you want fattys to be on magazines? i want to see hot women not fat ones, sure the ones he mentioned are not super fat or anything but they are still fat, dont get too comfy ladies and lose weight, its not even healthy why in the world would a sane person accept being fat over being skinny? eat right and workout and stop being a fat ass.

I difnt read everything but your ideal girl is not the smae as many other men. Many men like differnet looks and appreciate a bit of meat on a woman. Im skinny and the model your downing is a body type i would aspire to have. And being a skinny model is an accompliseng but that doesn't mean other people can't do it too.

Im not sure that Ashley Graham should be on the cover of SI. But then again, I'm not sure any /model/ deserves to be there. I don't know much about it, but I believe it promotes Sports and the sporting lifestyle. So wouldn't it make more sense to have female athletes? Someone who actually has accomplishments greater than the ability to hold clothing on their bodies and stand upright.

I'm 269 lbs. And sexy as hell. And a bbw cam star. The guys on those sites tell me I'm not big enough lol. They beg to see my naked tummy. I think it's kind of different but hey, so is my fetish. So is yours (, I presume)

[Ticxel]

( earlier I fell asleep before I could finish) The point is, it's not wrong to have a preference. We all do. When men have said they just aren't into big women, I say "thank you for letting me know, good luck with your search" or something of that nature. I'm fine with it. But why be a dick about it? If you saw an overweight blind date for the first time, would you talk to her like a normal person and explain that it just won't work out, or would you yell "Ewwww a land whale!" And take off running? No! I would hope not.

I'm also quite perplexed by the guys who are so angr the one particular magazine showcased one particular model that didn't meet his standard. If you guys have such particular tastes in pictures you'd like to see, there's this thing called Google search. Trust me, it's really cool.

Finally, I'm just mind boggled by the man who said something along the lines of "Ashley Graham could be hot if she lost weight, but she just stubbornly goes around thinking she's ok

[Ticxel]

and having self esteem and liking herself as she is and not making herself fappable to me and that makes me angry wahhhhh". Okay I embellished quite a bit but damn. Like one poster said, get over it

[Blonde401]

I'm so tired of reading takes about who should look like what and what people don't like about people's bodies and that if you're over this much pounds, you're a disgusting whale who doesn't deserve to be represented in the media. Honestly, life is too fucking short to get so upset over this bollocks time and time again. So you don't like fat chicks? Good, we don't like you either.

[Blonde401]

And it's always conservative virgin men and women who do these takes. Honestly, come up with something new.

[BuchitaBuchys]

Ashley Graham, to me is a bit fat, but also curvy and sexy af! Just because you're fat, it doesn't mean you can't be hot. On that note, just because you're thin, it doesn't mean you are automatically hot.

I say bravo to SI for featuring a woman who's fat and hot.

[YourFutureEx]

Coming from a guy who strictly prefers curvy women over skinny ones,
She's ewww. I don't know how people find her attractive. She's may not be fat, but she's ridiculously overweight.

I think this is a propaganda by that fat country to amuse those fat citizens (girls) about themselves.

by the way, I didn't like your "good" example either.

[YourFutureEx]

But yes, take writing was good and influential.

[DCHomos]

This guy is probably reminiscing of the day when all the models were white also.
Ignorance at its finest.

[RainbowFanGirl]

That's what this reminded me of as well.

[dominiquois]

Lol, exactly

[Riseagainst29]

"and so as a man I felt the divine call of duty to take a stand for heterosexual men everywhere."

Don't speak for me. 1. She's not even fat. And 2. I think Ashley Graham is more beautiful than Marisa Miller.

[bloodmountain1990]

Why do you care? She's not even close to being fat or obese.

[Anonymous]

If you think that woman is a land whale, then perhaps you would prefer to see women like this in Sports Illustrated?

[SweetHomicidalQueen]

dat ass

[CœurRosé]

I didn't even read all the way through and I still disagree.

[SweetHomicidalQueen]

lol same

[WhaChaChaKing]

"accomplishments"? Wow I didn't know being born beautiful and having a naturally large chest was something that could be attained.

[Reginelli]

Whatever. She is sexy to me. All women are not tall and thin.

[Righttobeararms83]

This is that whole fat acceptance movement at work. Being overweight is not something to be ok with or to accept its something that needs to be fought and overcome but with women's and men's waste sizes rising this bullshit is to be expected unfortunately.

[FallOutBoy2001]

What the fuck are you taling about? That isn't fat. No one there is fat

[AtillaTheFun]

Here in reality, she's a fatty with a nice face.

[cobrar97]

Sorry... but she's way too big. Like someone else said, her face is amazing, but her body shouldn't be in a bikini.

[CHARismatic110]

@cobrar97 her body can be in whatever it wants to be in...

[FallOutBoy2001]

@cobrar97 I can't see it? Are we looking at the same photo? She looks normal

[apple24]

Yo! Everyone who like this is gonna have bad things happen to them. So your saying if I have her body than I can't wear a bath suit? Thats riducles? I don't think I'll ever understand. Not everyone was lucky enough to have a natural small frame. Some people have bigger frame like me. My grandmother had my body and so forth. I can't control my genetic make-up. So since I am not a VS should I hide my body and cry! Nope that crazy!

[Waffles731]

Yeah I can also see Marisa Miller's pelvic bones.
She is underweight

[apple24]

@Waffles731 Yeah thats also pretty sad!

[QuestionMan]

I have to say your myTake was well written. I agree that the magazines shouldn't be pushing plus sized models onto the front page in order to reeducate people on what it means to be beautiful. As much as it may hurt some people to hear this, not every man and woman is beautiful.

I see Ashley Graham as a woman with potential if she lost about 20 lbs.
However in the end it comes down to one simple fact, they can print whatever they want; if you don't like it don't purchase it.

[Anonymous]

This is how you know feminism has gone out of hand. You will NEVER ever see a plus sized male model. So many fat feminists are pushing for fat models and we're forced to comply because if we don't we get labeled as sexist bigots or something. FUCK FEMINISM

[Ticxel]

I agree that modern day feminism is like fingernails on my brain's chalkboard, but dude... Have you not noticed the overwhelming number of fat guys on tv. And they all have exceptionally hot wives. Honeymooners. Flintstones. King of Queens. Simpsons. Family Guy... Sorry, I mostly watch cartoons lol

[Jessicocoa]

Well, it's clear that their marketing scheme is working because so many people are talking about it haha.
