Fats are covered in props because they are desperately trying to draw people's attention towards anything but themselves.  ftfy They don't get male attention, so they cover themselves in props to get some sort of attention. Anything. They feel shitty, and want to be validated by someone at least noticing they are there, when in reality, we do see them, it's hard to miss a buss standing in front of you, we just don't want to communicate or acknowledge.
