Before I go on my usual rant, I just wanted to say this was kinda cute. I mean... I am pissed at the fatphobia, but it's typical at this point. Nobody's creative. But, I enjoyed the innocent love flourishing for the two, they're very positive and they're great for each other... There were some questionable aspects, like the brother as well as the virgin thing but whatever LMAO after he got skinny I went braindead. (also the fact that the MC was into the ML even before he got thin???? He only got thin bc the MC thought it'd help with the ML's confidence. Changing one's self does not increase their confidence, but instead makes them feel like they're only lovable ONCE they've changed and they have to stay that way.)
Now on to ranting... I'm tired of the trope where if you're fat you're automatically ugly. Newsflash, if you have a good-looking face then it'll stay good-looking if you're fat. Those of you out there who are on the chunkier side or those who just do not feel attractive, please realize what makes someone attractive is how they style themselves. It's not how thin you are, not how immaculate your face is or your skin... It's all about how your clothes fit, how you put your character into your style, how your hair is cut, etc...
It's difficult being a bigger person, barely any clothing fits properly and the brands that do care are super expensive. It's hard to dress fashionably as a bigger person (tbh I feel as if they're purposefully trying to make big people look bad), but that doesn't mean that you aren't attractive. When you think about it if someone covers their face with their hair, wears a mediocre oversized hoodie and random baggy track pants 90% of the time they'll look iffy. But if they figured out a style they liked, put some thought into it, and accessorized then it'd be a whole different ballgame.
When you look at celebrities, and you REALLY study their faces.... They're just your average joe with better skincare, ability to get plastic surgery, plus the riches to get the best clothes. They're nothing special. ANYBODY CAN BE ATTRACTIVE WHEN GIVEN THE PROPER MEANS! Plus some celebrities are fucking ugly but because they're super cool and have a unique/good style it makes them attractive.
All in all, don't let comics like this put you down. I wish there were more positive comics with just fat characters in general, but I'll just wait until some more come out. I know there's a few, but tbh I cannot remember the names of them and I'm too ADHD to figure them out. Anyways, goodnight folks remember to stay sexy
