SFU research suggests plus-size models may lead to obesity

[Crazy CanuckMember 4215]

Research conducted at Simon Fraser University suggests the inclusion of plus-size models in advertising results in less motivation to have a healthy lifestyle, but critics say the results are overly-simplistic.

The study, The (Ironic) Dove Effect, claims one of the reasons why being larger-bodied appears to be “contagious” when seen in advertising is because it’s seen as more socially permissible, especially when it’s coupled with certain types of messaging.

“I don’t watch these ad campaigns and go, ‘There’s my excuse not to go to the gym that day,'” she said. “It doesn’t work that way.”

She says regardless of the results, a person’s size has nothing to do with how healthy they may or may not be.

Wow this bitch is clueless it is social acceptable to be over weight then a person is less likely want to lose weight. Look at the number of obese people in North America since the fat acceptance bulls~~~ came about. But hey let’s get people even fatter.

How am I suppose to get hard for sex with this fat ass? It’s no wonder men go to porn instead of having sex with fat whales who refuse to exercise at moderate levels.

“May lead to” is the wrong verb tense. Whatever is causing it, the fatties are superabundant. (Pun intended)

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[XSDBSParticipant 3598]

It’s backwards.
Obesity has lead to plus-size models.
(excluding male models of course)

This has me thinking. There are a whole bunch of studies regarding how watching/observing some activity compels a person to behave like what they are watching observing.

It’s what gamergate was all about. Violent video games lead to violent behavior of the player. Women in video games lead to objectifying women. Both of which were proven to be untrue. Men do not typically imitate the behavior they witness.

And then we have studies like this. Seeing more fat women makes women feel it’s ok to be fat. It used to be the reverse. Seeing skinny models made women want to be skinny, so those were bad too.

It’s also always the women who are upset about what’s being displayed to them. Men generally will just walk away, turn the channel if they don’t like it.

So perhaps not about whether something is or is not proper, but more then men can stand firm, while women are going to blow which ever way the wind goes.

Ok. Then do it.

there are many stories of guys who lose 300+ pounds because they took the initiative to change their life………

yes, some people are born fat, but these people choose to stay fat.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

HAHAHAH, this whole plus-size model thing was invented by obese feminists wanting to change the beauty-standard because they themselves are fat. And f*ck, they managed to do it. So now we have to accept fat-f*cking pigs like they are “normal”. This all stems from the fact that American women are getting fatter and fatter, and now they try to solve it by changing the standard.

And don’t you dare say they are obese or overweight, because women will shame you to death for it. They are asking us to deny the truth and shove this new standard down our throat. We need to start shaming fat c*nts back instead. Because in 25 years, plus size models will be the new norm for “medium-size”. Women will ask themselves why they can’t get married or find a partner. Take a look in the mirror and drop the cheesecake.

It’s possible that it could work one way and vice versa, right?

Women could be so inspired by these chubby women that they become them to feel better about themselves, and the growing amount of obese women lead to the need for plus-size models on magazines and advertising.

A disgusting circle of catering.

[goadsaidParticipant 100]

Something very similar to this topic has been on my mind a lot lately. It’s the whole “you forgot why you came here thing.”

This fat model stuff starts out with a few fat women trying to broaden what nature has made men attracted to for thousands of years in order to be accepted as sexy and then it gets accepted (by brainwashed women) and then it get momentum (with those same women) and then it gets monetized and then people aspire towards it because there is now money involved and then they get carried away with it because chicks have such heard mentality…

The fat women should realize that selling fat women in the mainstream to men is a lot different than getting them accepted by a few dying-to-be-trendy companies. Those two things are not synonymous (being in a magazine and appealing to men) no matter what those women tell themselves. Same goes for single mothers.

Male amputees could pull the same act and posture themselves as the new thing and try to sell their “look” in the media as the new sexy etc. And subtly encourage other people to cut their limbs off.. Only men would never fall for it because we know women aren’t really attracted to it. Fat chicks should realize the same.

WOW the SFU research has opened my eyes. I always thought that over eating combined with lack of activity caused obesity.
Just another way for land whales to justify their inability to control their eating while keeping the permanent indentation in their mattress intact.
Land whale; “It’s not my fault I’m fat, the plus sized models are influencing me to eat that 6th piece of Brownie surprise. I’m the victim here!”
For years, skinny models were used for advertisements and people in general didn’t get skinnier because of it.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

Two reasons why I like younger women the older I get:

1) Because youthful looking women are fertile and by nature I am designed to desire such a mate.

2) Most women seem to gain weight over time. Some more than others, but few stay fit for life. Leaving me in a sea of whales my age now that I am in my 40’s. I have no choice but to look for younger women, as I am certainly not going to be attracted to someone larger than myself.

[Spank The MisandristsParticipant 2308]

women like to sugar code stuff, rather than say it as it is. Rather than fat, they use plus size, it’s a plus, see what they did there. And it’s nice to know the tax money got spent on non-sense “research” s~~~ that a 3 year old could answer in 1 sec. What’s next? Research show men rather date younger hotter chicks than the fugle large and charged ones?

Oh. research show men in general are stronger than women! <– beware now you guys are warned, this one is coming soon.

What Project Harpoon did to poor Roxy (photoshopped her images into a more appealing figure — think, shrink horizontal axis 60%) and

She wrote in a blog post that being shamed on the Project Harpoon Facebook page worsened her anxiety and depression, and she was concerned about what it was doing to women less confident she is.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ruby-roxx-plus-sized-model-takes-on-online-bullies-who-used-her-image-1.3212263

Project Harpoon was removed from Facebook. Online bullying. Oughta be a law….

And how can you be ‘less confident’ than someone who already has anxiety and depression?

I reckon, as is so many times the case, it’s just feminists singing the tune but someone else paying the piper.

Plus-size is advocated because in the land of obesity, the man with the food is king. There’s money to be made from fat women – LOTS of money – so the models appear, selling their products.

Less money to be made from men – we can live the simple life – so overweight guys still get shamed. Nothing new there.

Yeah. Academic study disproven in one page of forum chat.

a) Skinny models did not lead to a skinnier West.

b) Obesity drives plus-size models as corporations try and figure out a way to sell more s~~~.

Were I back in academia, or if I get my doctorate, I can steal your ideas from this page, puff them up to seventy or eighty unreadable pages of s~~~, highly footnoted, with some original research that a five year old would find pointless, and put another notch on the ol’ tenure belt.

I find the economics of higher education completely f~~~ing baffling at this point. Clearly most of these degrees are just worthless Marxist dialectic at this point.

I thought the words in the upper left corner said “Viagra” instead of “Varga”. I would need a handful of it to be able to perform with her.

That would make a great ad though…Is your partner disgusting but still want to have sex with her…Just take the little blue pill and you’ll get hard no matter what she looks like.
