Do fats ever affect you being able to do your job well? Half rant and half question for the rest of you shitlords/ladies. When I read discussions here I see how often these redundant adipose shitforms get in the way for people at work and it occurs to me that I have a similar problem. I work as a caricature artist and also attend art school, and at both places at some point I have to draw an obeast. Life drawing models are almost always paunchy and gross, I understand why artists need to be familiar with more than just the idealized form, but it's hard to muster up the effort to draw something that is visually repulsive and have to make it visually palatable (especially in a long study). If I'm not in an actual class I'm paying for and just sitting in to get some good sketches, I'll walk out if the model is fat.  Caricatures are the worst because despite the fact that fat people actually are in theory great to deform and fuck with on the page, I have to worry to some degree about them actually buying the drawing. Almost invariably every fat fuck who sits down to get drawn makes a comment about me drawing them without the double chin (tee-hee), or leaving out the gut. Generally what this means is that I have to go easy on them and make them kind of cute, which is made even worse because they then proceed to react as if it's an honest representation of them. The only time I've done drawings and had people who didn't want to buy them were all from fats who were mad about the way they looked.  How often do fats affect the rest of you being able to do your job?
