Even for those who got fat unintentionally, there can be two independent causes:

1. Metabolism. Genetics, easy to gain weight, difficult to lose. You just gain and gain and gain weight seemingly without eating more than ordinary

2. Appetite. Huge appetite, feeling hungry all the time.

If you are gaining intentionally, and could choose between two pills, one changing your metabolism to be able to gain faster without eating more, and the other augmenting your appetite that you would feel hungry more often and would require much more food until you feel satiated, which one would you choose?

(ignoring the money aspects, so assume you could afford the extra food if you've chosen the second one)

There are many types of physical limitations, and one can have different feelings about them.

1. having trouble fitting behind booths, through narrow doors
2. becoming slower, tiring faster
3. health issues, diabetes, heart problems
4. sweating heavily
and many more.

"Converting" a big but shy woman to feederism. No tricks, no cheating, no unethical methods, just simply showing love, care, and adoration. She then turns from someone who hates herself for heir weight, to someone who accepts her weight, then slowly to someone who enjoys her weight. At the same time, she goes from trying (but failing) to control her huge appetite (the reason she got fat for in the first place), to a phase of just letting herself go, and then graduating to a phase of deliberately overstuffing.

I've never heard any example of someone who wasn't interested in feedersim in the first place, to develop it later due to the persuation of someone else, except for Cherries (from BigCuties)

So although such people are rare, they exist.

Was it removed? I can't find it here.

Stardew Valley is another game where there are several mods which make certain NPCs fat. Currently they are static (so the NPCs become fat from the beginning, not gain weight), but it's theoretically possible to make a mod which makes NPCs to dynamically gain weight. (I checked the code, it's possible)

If no one else makes it, and I'll find enough time for it, maybe I'll code such a mod...

Whenever I'm bored I'll just open up this thread and laugh at how strong the ideological echo chambers in many commenters' heads are.

I've never seen one single intelligent comment here. All of them are just tribal signaling. Everyone wants to feel superior, and seemingly didn't chose their side out of some rational evaluation, but on how easy to feel superior by bashing the other side.

If you described in a few words what you mean by it, maybe people would be more inclined to answer.

There is one kind of video content I've never ever seen.

A time lapse video of weight gain. Make a picture every day or almost every day, in the same pose (or you can slowly rotate the pose), for years.

It would be very interesting for someone who starts relatively thin, to get huge over the years and make a time lapse video. It seems no one ever did it.

There are time laps videos about pregnancy, and about growing hair. But about gaining weight, there aren't any.

You can become the first one in history to do it

And it would be a welcome addition, as videos seem to have much less variety than pictures. In the pictures section there is a wide variety of poses, styles, clothes, situations. In the videos section it seems 99% are just about rubbing your own belly from a close-up view, and the rest isn't really diverse either.

I followed a user, but later decided to unfollow. However, there is only a "follow" button on the profile, I cannot unfollow. If I click on follow, a message comes up that I've been blocked by that user. However, that user's content is constantly showing up on my following page, and as a very "productive" user, it floods out all other content.

It seems there is a bug, that if you follow me and then I block you, you can no longer unfollow me, and my content will forever litter your page.

I wouldn't use weight alone, not even BMI, as people have different body proportions, fitness levels etc. regardless of weight.

I would use relative categories, mostly focused on their effects on daily life.

For 1 to 10 (I intentionally designed this system so that almost everyone fits into 1-6, ideal if you want to create fantasy scenarios with dice). I made this list with women in mind, but you can adjust them to men if you wanted

1: skin and bones, even those who prefer thin would call her too thin. Unhealthy and dangerous. Likely has an eating disorder.

2: thinner than average, but not clinically so.

3: most people would consider this to be normal, and strive to reach this weight if they differ from it.

4: chubby, considered above average weight by most people, but she can still hide the extra weight by carefully chosen clothing and camera angles.

5: definitely fat, and can no longer hide it. Still, the extra weight is not too limiting in most daily tasks and activities. If really attractive and has a great personality, might still be found desirable by those who aren't specifically into fatties (but they see her weight still as a major negative point)

6: obese, the weight starts to impose limits on many activities. People who aren't into fatties start feeling at least somewhat disgusted. Folds appear on different parts of the body regardless of posture, belly can firmly rest in the laps when sitting, some chairs become too tight, some difficulties when picking up things from the floor, basically the biggest size one can get without having either a severe eating disorder or being into feederism, and the biggest size most people will regularly see outside reality TV, or the Internet.

7. fatter than most things are designed for, cannot fit into small cars, into some restaurant booths, and even the largest clothes in supersize clothing stores start becoming too small. I consider the border betrween 6 and 7 to be the border between BBW and SSBBW.

8. still being able to care for themselves, but only with great difficulties. Standing up, or going up a single flight of stairs, or walking more than a few dozen steps, or just standing more then a few minutes are all very exhausting. Basically the biggest size one can have while being able to live completely independently.

9. requires a caretaker for everyday life, but is not completely bedridden. Still, getting up is difficult and might require help.

10. immobility.
