That first video... what fat people don't seem to understand is that a skinny person can't just wear a 3x item of clothing and expect it to look good or be wearable whatsoever.
Oversized clothing meant for thin people is cut completely differently from plus sized clothing. A skinny girl can't wear a pair of plus size jeans as "oversized" without looking ridiculous because the waistband just has too much excess material to look anything but sloppy and weird. they also add some extra room in the front to accommodate a fupa, which ends up becoming an awkward fanny pack of sagging denim.
The only truly "oversize" clothes I see skinny girls wear are tops and sweaters, which are either cut that way, or they buy clothes in larger straight sizes. A woman who wears a size 8 can easily get the oversized look with a size 12 top or sweater, or a men's Medium hoodie, sweater, or flannel.
A woman who is a size 14 or 16 (XL) has to size-up into plus sizes, but we're talking an 18 or 20/2X, not megafat sizes. Skinny girls and "in-betweenie" smallfats aren't buying 3X and up clothes. They're just not. The clothes just wouldn't work on them.
And no skinny girls are sizing up on pants or leggings, because it doesn't work at all fit-wise, for the reasons you've described. They'll buy roomy, straight-cut "boyfriend jeans" in their own size, or boys'/men's jeans if they're slim enough.
I tried on some of my fat tops after losing weight and the necklines are ridiculously huge compared to normal clothing. Like a top thats supposed to have a modest neckline exposes my bra levels of large.
PL, but relevant: I'm an oddbody who is much bigger up top than on the bottom, and hates tight/clingy/revealing clothes. In straight-size tops, I wear an XL.
On size charts, a straight 16 and a plus 1X/16W are cut for women with almost identical measurements (though the 1X is usually a couple of inches bigger in the waist). But I can't buy plus-size 1X tops, because not only is the neckline
crazy fucking massive, but so are the arms/armholes. According to size charts, those garments should fit me (at least in the bust/shoulders, where I'm biggest), but they don't.
It's also an issue on the rare occasions I find a plus-size garment in a thrift store worth re-making into human-size clothes: is the top/ bodice long and wide enough for me to work around the vast neckline and huge arm holes, or am I going to have to piece it?
I know there are people who actually do buy larger clothing for materials and sewing projects but they really aren't very common.
Yeah, there really aren't that many of us, because while the Venn diagram of "women who love rummaging through thrift stores" and "women who sew" does have some overlap, it's not as much as you'd think. And, frankly, buying curtains, sheets, duvet covers, unused yardage, and other whole textiles is a far easier way to acquire cheap fabric than sifting through all the ugly polyester in the plus-size section.
thrift stores probably have fewer plus items because fatties get grease stains all over them and their rolls rubbing wears them down, thus rendering them unsellable. And that's before you begin to address the smell issue.
Fats are hard on their clothes, which tend to be cheaply made and in fabrics that don't wear well. And since the bigger the fat, the poorer they tend to be, they only get rid of clothes when those clothes are at the end of their lifespan.
So that's why you rarely see anything over a 3X in thrift stores. Even if it gets donated, it's usually not in good enough condition to put up for sale. Superfats without much money are going to have much better options (and require less work to find them) at Walmart, and, depending upon the market, they might even be cheaper.
Many of the people we document here (not limited to fatties, but definitely including fatties) show a very limited/childish understanding of the life cycle of products. This is indicative of larger issues, but to keep things on topic, they see clothing and fashion in general as something that is given to them by some person in power or authority, kind of like a parent giving something to their child.
This is why you also see them saying things like "Make more plus size clothing!" or "Fat people deserve cute clothes!" They don't consider market demand, it's more about what they see as having been made available to them.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing how little politicized social media fats seem to understand about supply and demand, why businesses exist in the first place, and what they have to do to stay in business—knowledge that most people understand as a given. It is so absurdly childish, all I can do is be glad they represent a minority, are considered a joke by most normies, and that they don't wield any real power.

So....wait. She's wearing a 3X t-shirt, and a 5X flannel. Why isn't she wearing a 3X flannel? If she's wearing the 5X just to get that oversized look, then she's
literally stealing 5X clothes that are needed by, and thus rightfully belong to , even larger fats than herself.
What a fucking hypocrite. But hey, they all are.
