So like, to preface, I’ve never hidden my partners from my fam and I’m sure my fam can kinda tell I have a type. My family however doesn’t know that I intentionally gained 140 pounds for fetish reasons. Lmao I learned from my girlfriend that my ex told my sister in law (bro’s wife). I’m not like upset, however I’m mildly embarrassed about it. There’s only two things in life that can embarrass me and my folks knowing that is one. 😅

Thankfully she’s cool about it, but like she’s the sister I never knew I wanted and we’re total partners in crime. I’m also 1000% lucky to have my girlfriend in my life who is also very open and welcoming of my kinks, so long as I’m healthy (actually have been losing weight for health reasons). However I still kinda wanna crawl in a hole and disappear 😂😂😂

Anyone else have anything similar so I don’t feel like the only one in this boat? Lol

Do we want to learn more about fat admiration and ssbbws in various times and cultures, from any source which can provide this information,

or do we want to use only such sources, whose authors share our own positions? The second option would be absurd. there are many things in history which we can learn about only through sources which were written by haters of these things.

We have no sources written by those fat admirers of Samaria and by those women of Samaria, but we can learn about them through things which Amos writes about them. I definitely think that to learn about these people from their hater is much better than not to learn about them at all.

That's why I don't understand the reprimand declaring that material which I quoted doesn't add anything. It adds bright information about huge and luxurious ssbbws of Samaria, and about those who loved them, appreciated them and were their enablers. It would be very strange, if such an information would be accepted as offopic here, I think.

That’s exactly why I am not religious! These quotes cited by the OP depict extremely fat women in a very negative light and seemingly enjoy their cruel treatment. Mysoginistic bs as far as I am concerned. Goes right along with declaring gluttony a deadly sin. As a fat man and husband of a fat woman I find that very offensive!

Olga01:
Yes, but for me it's interesting not the fact that Amos hates these women, but the fact that they existed and that Northern Israel people loved them and pampered them. We have info about this fact only through Amos with his hatred.

Munchies:
That's not why he was mad. He was mad that they were taking food from the mouths of those without. This is a class and corruption issue.

Olga01:
He was mad really in literal sense of the word. Food consumption of elite cant " take food " from the mouths of common peoole. Even in egalitarian bands of hunters-gatherers of Magdalenian paleolitic Europe 20 000 years ago women could gain weight up to epic proportions. And there was no society in the world history where elite could be costy for main part of the people because of its food consumption.

Munchies:
*le deep sigh*

How about you stop talking about something you do not fully understand.

I have read Amos in full numerous times. I am very familiar with the text. Yes, there is misogyny about how he is addressing them. However, it is not the fatness itself that is the problem. He spells it out very plainly.

Olga01:
Oh oh yes, it is terrible terrible oppression with which the husbands of these women overburdened the poor laboring masses, in order to provide for these women food and wine! Of course, all we know that slim women and husbands of slim women can't overexploitate poor people, only fat ones and their husbands can!

If Amos would have ever meant anything you try to ascribe to him, he wouldn't mention fatness at all. In this case he would just express indignation for overexploitation of people by elite without any mentioning of body type of exploitators, as it is totally irrelevant to degree of exploitation. Moreover, in this case he would speak not about women but about men, because women were not property owners and could not exploitate people at all.

You can try to make any kind of communist or friend of the poor people of this religious antihedonistic fanatic, but it will be a useless attempt.
The same biblical prophets express very brightly that the vast masses of the people hated their ideas and their threats and mocked them. It is hard to reconcile this fact with the idea that Amos and company were great champions of poor laborers, oppressed by greedy upper classes.

Curious why everyone is still commenting when it was established this post was fake? Can a staff member remove this thread?

I mean I'm all for SSBBW admiration but I don't know how a bible is depicting what they witness as being obese women back then. OP, what are your thoughts and why bring this over from chan?

Munchies:
Yes. They starve themselves, dehydrate themselves, hell they can't even season their food so it will taste good.

And then after all that, they mess up their metabolisms after all the stress and shock they put on their bodies. This is why live action superheros look more impressive in movies than on TV shows. It's not sustainable.

JN_TumLover56:
Really? Well I’ve heard of actors who do that method acting stuff and go on such fad diets to better suit the role. But for a superhero movie? That’s interesting to say the least. Probably something that nobody talks about.

Plumplumplump:
Anyone see the Minecraft movie? My eyes were glued to Jason Momoa’s belly! It looked so nice and round! The whole time I was hoping his shirt would lift up a little or when he would huntch over you could really see its roundness hang. Mmmmm I was hoping it would have been rubbed and patted at some point

Munchies:
After his stint as Aquaman, Jason is taking a break from superhero movies. Not sure if you know, but those actors train like crazy and starve themselves to get those bodies.

They all hate it.

So Jason's been taking a break from all that by rocking a dad bod.

JN_TumLover56:
They starve themselves?? Sheesh no wonder why they end up looking so lean and mean! But hey I guess it’s for the sake of the role that they need to act and whatnot.
