Fat Acceptance Movement / Fat Girlcows

[brooky]

I stumbled across this cow when I was on a casual cow content hunt. my first thought was wow the deja vu, this chick is a Tess Holliday copycat, let me clear out my to-do list then sit down and collect some material and oh boy do I regret it. this is Kat Stroud, 32 y.o: instagram Facebook i need to go to sleep so this is all i got now. and sorry if i fuck up this post; not used to posting from a pc.
First off- a moddle:

Despite my membership on this site, I don't usually like to body shame people. And I don't have a problem with plus size (not deathfat) models.

But I just don't get it. How on earth is this lady any type of model? Tess Holliday has a face that, on another body, could be editorial. This lady's face looks like the Bride of Chucky.

It's a damn gunt sling. Her face is bad but her torso looks worse. It's a bizzare wrinkled mess.

 

[DefCon Dumb]

Um.., what is that peeking out from the sling? Please tll me that's not part of her anatomy...?

 

[PissPool]

Yeah, modeling is one of the only professions where it’s ok to turn someone away for not having a good look. She’s not that attractive, she’s short as hell (which makes showing off clothing harder)... how is she a model? Even if she was thin no one would book her for those other reasons. At least the plus size models that get bookings have well proportioned bodies. And let’s be honest, less lumpy oatmeal rolls that look like something you’d see in Bioshock. It’s possible to still be a good runway model without being a waif (up to a certain size anyway). Case in point:

That one still has a waist

I agree with this 100%. While I understand knee jerk reactions of eye rolling or mild annoyance when some skinnier or prettier than you says they feel fat/ugly, if you step back for a second you realize that’s actually totally valid. Very few people on this Earth think they’re totally perfect and just could not look any better in any way. And in our world of instagram influencers and FaceTune it’s hard to accept yourself totally no matter what you look like.

Even pretty, skinny girls will have days they feel like an ogre and bitter fat chicks yelling at them for confiding about their body image issues is not very supportive of their fellow woman. I’ve had friends who were much bigger than me in the past that I knew I couldn’t talk to when I was feeling bad about myself because they’d get defensive and angry. Not just dismissive ‘nah you look fine’ comments but actual anger. I understood why it may come across as bragging or make them feel even worse so I was careful how I worded it, but it still sucked not being able to confide in bad feelings with someone you saw as a friend. Putting other woman down for feelings they clearly know all too well is catty and immature, and the true feminist thing would be saying they understand and feel that way too and comforting each other.

Seriously I agree 100% with this, they talk all this shit about being so pro women and then tear down every woman that’s not in their HAES crab Bucket.

Spoiler: Dumb sperg about regular women showing dumpy photos

but what about people with EDs? Lots of ed therapy leads into normalising the body in its natural state, people in recovery could find seeing regular/thin bodies in different poses/not perfectly poses pretty helpful. It seems really close minded to shit on these women. (Actual eds not Corissa or lipids lol.) Sperg over

That one still has a waist

For now..

Actual plus size models who are good at their jobs still work out, stay toned and fit, keep their skin smooth with tonnes of toning exercises and moisturizer treatments etc. They are in the gym constantly. They learn proper posture, they know their best angles, they work very hard with a lot of patience. They can stand up for fittings for hours, without “needin’ a sit-down” and a snack every twenty minutes.

Most importantly, they DON’T wear a gut sling that literally looks stuffed full of a pile of wet oatmeal instead of human flesh. And they certainly don’t do that and demand that the world change its built-in beauty standards to include “lumpy disembodied pile of oatmeal stomachs.”

Some fat bird who wants to eat herself into 22 stone and be considered a plus moddle is not the same as a real plus size model. I don’t put in once a week lazy practices on the tennis court and then demand to be seen as on the same level as players winning at Wimbledon.

I’m sorry, just...can we address that oatmeal sling. I feel it has not yet been totally expressed how fucking horrifying that was.

I for real don't know what would be worse:

neck, boob, fat roll, another fat roll, pannus, thigh

this should be part of board exams at this point

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Ah, Kat Stroud isn't a model in any real sense. She's not signed to any agency, I checked her socials and blog, nothing.

She's one of these people who gets on a catwalk as Freak of the Week once and from that point declares themselves a MODDLE 4EVAH, not really understanding she was put up there for shock effect and most industry attendees would be either smiling at her 'bravery', making tiny squeaks of disgust or simply thanking their stars they don't look like that. Fashion people don't like fatties, never did and never will, whaever they pretend in the current poliical climate. FFS, it should be obvious they don't want you in their actual clothes (and you can't fit anyway because not even plus ranges really design sample sizes around Kat's very gunt-heavy shape) when they put you up on the catwalk in nothing bt underwear and a gian pair of angel wings, all the better to show off the body horror and NOT the clothes. Basically she was a VS 'angel' parody in that get-up and I'm not convinced it wasn' a mean-spirited one.

Kat's blog seems to be the usual influencer type spon hauls and try-ons of Eloquii and other brands thay run super-large. She may be the Poundland Tess (linktree full of BLM 'resources' and all), but I think she at least has the sense not to insult the hand that feeds in that sense.

I wish that was the case but:-

I didn't stop to read her long captions yesterday so I didn't notice the narcissism: "people are tired of seeing those pretty models who actually put effort in their work, they need more of ME!!"
also she's a self proclaimed "petite''.

another fkn degenerate

 

[AbraCadaver]

Is “alternative” the model code for “ugly”?

Fashion is aspirational and people are more likely to buy clothes modeled by attractive people. No one wants to wear what the lumpy saggy girl is wearing. No, we’re not all six foot and hourglass-shaped, but those figures sell clothes more.

The average flashy convertible auto buyer is likely a balding middle-aged man, but they sell a hell of a lot more of them when they put a handsome young man with a sexy woman in the car for the ads.

So Dr. Rachel Millner--an eating disorder specialist--could easily lose at least 50 pounds, but she's still mobile and likely not in agonizing pain due to obesity.

Again, it's easy for someone who isn't literally crippled or limited by fat to say that being fat is "magical." Irresponsible, unethical twat.

Update on this Millner HAES loon.

Just stumbled across a comment on obesetobeast's video from a former patient of hers that makes interesting reading.




It really does seem that the obvious is true - these women use their job to push vulnerable patients to get as fat as they are. It's evil, really.

ETA: Weird that Stroud doesn't have Part&Parcel listed on her pages. They were apparently a brand new agency specialising in fat models in late 2019 and Stroud was one of their initial 15 signings.

I wonder if they've already gone out of business, hastened by the pandemic shutdown? Their website partandparcel.com isn't reachable.

Facebook page seems to imply that the whole company went bust- they were a clothing company before they branched out to modelling. They had a massive sale in February and apparently people are still waiting for their clothes. Sorry for no link but I don't know how to FB link anonymously.

I see! Well, that explains all. Stroud was signed for a few months before the agency and the entire company behind it folded leaving the usual trail of debris and 'inspirational' word salad behind it. I wonder if she even got any gigs out of that mess before it crashed into insolvency?

Oh god, that this woman was a child makes it much worse. She's not just trying to psychologically manipulate a vulnerable person into gaining weight, as if that wasn't bad enough, she's telling the parents to punish the child (I checked, the kid had a 23.4 BMI, perfectly healthy) for refusing to keep gaining. Honestly, that's beyond disgusting.

While googling Rachel Millner again, I found these HAES "experts":


Fall Ferguson, JD, MA, is the Program Chair of the Health Education Program at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, California. She teaches courses on health policy, community health, health coaching, educational methods, and body acceptance, among other subjects. Fall served as the President of ASDAH from 2012 through 2015, and currently chairs ASDAH’s Public Policy Committee.

Oh, looks like Fall died last year...of a diabetic-related condition:



Deb Burgard, PhD, a psychologist specializing in eating disorders and sexuality, is one of the founders of the Health at Every Size® (HAES®) approach. Deeply interested in both stigma and body image, and how people find ways to cherish the bodies they were taught to distrust, she uses these lessons in her clinical work with people suffering from various forms of body estrangement. She has written and done research on these topics and co-chairs the HAES® SIG for the Academy for Eating Disorders, serves on ASDAH’s Public Policy Committee, and on NAAFA’s Advisory Board.


Dana Schuster, MS, is a Health & Fitness Instructor with a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling. She co-taught the Kaiser Permanente Great Shape exercise class for thirteen years, co-founded Women of Substance Health Spa (open 1997-2001), and currently teaches exercise classes at Every Woman Health Club in Redwood City, California. Since 2005, Dana has been involved in School Wellness Policy development and implementation as an avid promoter of the Health At Every Size® model. She is the married mother of two adult (and fabulous) sons, has a terrific daughter-in-law, and prefers to describe herself as a “Freelance Agitator & Advocate for Integrity.” She is currently the Vice President of ASDAH, chairing the Internal Policy Committee and serving on the membership and blog committees.

-So, somehow this awful Millner woman telling a young, healthy, vibrant student athlete to pork up makes more sense now. The worst part is that loving, trusting parents who just want to get help for their kids will take bad professional advice to heart instead of trusting themselves and their own common sense and intuition.
