I’ve seen that gif too, and not only is that dude’s beer gut nowhere near how artists in this thread portray fat - seriously even the ones they say are supposed to be only mildly chubby look obese - but a lot of gymnastics isn’t about strength so much as flexibility, coordination, and balance since moves like those flips are accomplished by building enough momentum and then letting physics take care of the rest - it’s when you can hold one of those positions for a period that are a feat of the muscles.they usually insist that fat people can be super athletic as well, and use the less than one percent of the population of fat olympic athletes as an example. there's also that gif of a fat dude doing some acrobatic shit that they use as an argument, but i really doubt the average obese tumblr artist can do 10 situps without crying
here's the gif, i used to see it all the time on tumblr when i still used the site. it was constantly used as an argument that there should be more fat video game characters.
It’s when the same thing when they bring up the weight of athletes like shot-putters. Sure they look bigger than average and what they do is impressive, but they aren’t a one size fits all body type and they certainly aren’t the same as the HAES fuckers who can barely walk a block without getting winded.
