Munchies:
Just so you know, you aren't supposed to have multiple accounts.
Curiousv:
I don't understand your point. If you lose access to your account (forgot the password, e-mail account where you registered no longer exists), then you should never ever be allowed to take part in this community again, never ever in your life?
Not having multiple accounts is supposed to mean using them actively at the same time, or alternately, pretending to be two different persons.
Munchies:
It makes no sense for you to arrive at this conclusion. I am choosing to chalk this up to English not being your first language and you simply misunderstood me.
When I said you are not supposed to have more than one account, I am going off of what admin as told me. They give you grace if you lost access to your old account, but you will ultimately have to choose an account.
If you don't like that, take it up with admin, not me. I don't make the rules.
I understood clearly what you said.
Notdjorki wrote about not being able to access an old account, and I gave the benefit of the doubt that this new account might have been created because the old was lost, so we don't have to assume that someone uses two accounts.
It was you who replied about the ban on having multiple accounts, this is why it was you who I replied to, and not to the admins.
Maybe one of us misunderstood Notdjorki. But it's no longer relevant, as it is clear now that the old account has been lost. So there will be no concurrent accounts for the same user.

This is fascinating. Based on my anecdotal experiences, I am inclined to believe these statistics. That said, I would be interested in seeing your raw data or methodology.
As I was only interested in a very rough estimate, I did not do a very deep study, I just let a LLM go through the most prominent sources to compile this info.

I did some research about the prevalence of FA and feederism, and it coincided with what I already assumed about the distribution of feeders and feedees from my online and real world experience.
For every 1000 men who are fat admirers (FA):
- There are about ~50–150 women with a feederism fetish attracted to their own weight gain
- There are about ~3000–4500 obese women (BMI 35+) (regardless of the fetish)
- There are about ~300–600 extremely obese women (BMI 50+)
So if you are a man looking for a woman who is into the kink, your chances are low, as there are only 50-150 of them per every 1000 of you.
However, if you are just looking for a BBW big enough for her weight to be very noticeable, there are 3-4 of them or more, for every one of you.
Even SSBBWs who are big enough for their weight to significantly affect their life, there are plenty of them to have a reasonable chance to find one, but then you have to be prepared for them to feel miserable about their weight and hopefully you can love them for themselves and accept that they don't want to gain any weight, and hopefully still make their life better by loving them and accepting them, compared to a non-FA who might not find them as beautiful as you do.

when consuming feedist media (pictures, stories, videos), what are some general themes or additions you enjoy? i'm personally a fan of soft feedism and romance being a focal point in stories, but i think teasing is always a nice touch.
To have character development, and interesting motivations and causes for why things turn out the way they do. To explore what caused the gaining character to be gaining, and if she enjoys it, then how and why did it develop. This is what I try to focus on when writing stories (although I haven't done it in a while), and this is what I seek in other stories as well.
Even in comics or drawn sequences, I try to imagine a story, character traits, and motivations.

Im curious, why is the statistic higher for men? O.o
If it's just fat fetish in general and it counts both enjoying being fat and being attracted to fat partners, then the explanation is relatively easy.
Usually the fetish in men is being a FA, and the fetish in women is being a feedee. Of course there are exceptions, but this does indeed seem to be a general trend, we can even notice this by a casual glance on profiles and forums on this very site.
So the question might as well be why are there more FAs than feedees. I have many guesses for this, one of them is that it's easier to be attracted to someone who is very fat, than to actually take the health and mobility and social risks of becoming extremely fat.

Weight is not a good measure for this. Compare Dankii and Boberry for example, just to take two names you can easily find public pictures of. Dankii is below 400 pounds but looks as fat or maybe even fatter than Boberry who is (again) above 600, because of the height difference and having more of her weight in her belly. And even compensating for height, people can have different body types, different fitness levels, muscle, etc. The effects of her size on the body, what it can do and where it can or cannot fit, would be a better criteria. I would define the borders between the categories more in the terms of how her size affects her everyday life, and how it compares to sizes smaller or bigger.
I would say BBW starts where it starts getting impossible to hide that she's overweight, even with clever clothing choices and posture. But still a very much livable size without significant adjustments and without drawing attention.
I would consider the threshold between BBW and SSBBW to be where one starts getting bigger than most things are designed for. Chairs, cars, seats, booths becoming too small to fit into comfortably (or at all). Certain body positions and movements starts becoming very difficult or impossible (tying shoelaces, walking up more than a single flight of stairs without having to stop, etc.).
I would consider someone a SSBBW from a size where one has to start making significant adjustments in daily routines because things start not being designed for that size. These routines are still possible, but only with difficulties. Where every physical activity is still possible, even if only for very short periods of time. A size which starts seriously affecting what one can or cannot do, but still not as big to make most activities impossible.
And when even very basic daily routines become impossible or almost impossible without help, would I use the term USSBBW.

In fantasy, yes, all the way up to the point where standing up requires a lot of effort and preparation, and several tries.
In reality, no. Well, maybe if she was athletic and got moderately overweight, and overestimates her capabilities and ends up winded, yes, that can be hot in real life too, so maybe, a little.
I'm more of a Boberry-fan, liking someone to be as mobile as possible for her weight. Or the other side of it, to exercise and be healthy, to be able to be the most fat for the same amount of desired mobility.

Boberry is one of the biggest models who is surprisingly strong and agile for her size, and works out regularly.
