It's the Same Pose (part 2) In Part 1 of this post, I talked about the argument of "fatshaming dehumanizes people" doesn't work because adding that much excess fatty tissue distorts the body, which is literally dehumanizing one's own figure.  I decided to take this a step further and compare silhouettes. I zoomed in to black everything out, and once I zoomed out I noticed something strange: despite the fact I knew that it was Tess Munster in the image, my brain took a second to recognize it as "that Tess Munster pose you were just looking at". I didn't recognize it as a human figure. I immediately saw some kind of bag with a flag or something on top of it, and my brain was trying to make sense of it in that regard before it caught itself and remembered that it was an obese "model". Even knowing this, looking at it now makes me think the akimbo arm is an elephant trunk, since that's a more recognizable shape than the entire body as a human image. The image on the right, however, took zero computing time to recognize it as a sexy human female.  Please note that some bumps and jutting shapes are caused by the clothing. Also note that, yes, Munster's forearm is so fatty that it actually has a roll. A forearm roll. Holy shit.
