What this never ending debate boils right down to is that the majority of modern societies on the planet do not find overweight individuals physically or sexually attractive, and have a tendency to make them the object of frequent criticism and derision. The overweight individuals do not like the fact they are viewed by the majority as unattractive, and often take personal offense when honest opinions are expressed; as a result, they perpetually seek to have the rights of others to speak their mind openly and voice their opinions on the subject honestly curtailed. Until the world's majority changes their views on the subject, unfortunately overweight individuals will remain in this quandary, and bitching and moaning about it will have little effect but to exacerbate the situation. It sucks sometimes, but there it is. Maybe change the root cause of the issue, and the rest will resolve itself in due course.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right protected by clear legislation. Just because someone's opinion on a personally sensitive subject offends you because it may hit close to home where personal insecurities and self-image are concerned, voicing that opinion (if not directed at any one individual) should not be viewed as bullying. It's simply stating a fact. Being offended, and being the object of hate are two VERY different things. Unfortunately, many overweight individuals who are the object of the discussion are not able to distinguish between the two.
If we are to accept the comments of those BBW advocates, so too must we accept the comments of the BBW detractors. Fair is fair where free speech is concerned. Example: Leo posted a picture in this thread, and stated he found the individual depicted was, based on attributes, personally attractive to him. The subject of the post obviously felt this was acceptable, and made no complaint, yet I suspect if someone else posted the same, or another photo and stated he found the subject unattractive based on the same attributes, significant concern would have been voiced, and the negative personal labels would quickly be applied to the poster. Funny how that double standard exists.
Bottom line - all members here should be free to say what they want, and state their opinions honestly without fear of backlash, or being negatively labelled, regardless of subject, and in so far as negative comments are not overly personal in nature or overly persistent.
Where the qualification of personal beauty and attractiveness is concerned, it's an escort review board people! Wake up. If you hold yourself out in the public eye for examination, assessment, and evaluation of your personal/physical attractiveness, overall service value, and individual sexual performance, be ready to accept negative comments without complaint, along with any positive acclaim that may come your way. The industry can be harsh, but if you want to work or play in it, you better develop a thick skin. If you can't do that, best to stay out of the public eye.
