You've got to be kidding me. We finally put this 22 page trainwreck out of its misery 3 weeks ago, and you had to go and resurrect it for that???
Holy crap!

In the vanilla world there is a lot of discrimination against larger size people, especially women.  As someone who has been what would be considered height/weight proportionate by most and also gained weight for various reasons,  I know personally what it is like to be treated differently because of my body size (and made to feel like a second class human being because of it).

I have got to really admire the many lovely, larger sized ladies (BBW's if you like) who post their photographs publicly on this site and while I am sure there are some who still give them a hard time, I wonder if BDSM folk in general, especially male Dominants, are more accepting of BBW's than the population at large?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences?  Thanks!

Are BDSMers better at size acceptance?

Thanks for the answers so far.

In terms of judging the obese, I kind of sigh at what I call the "matrix" group who have been brainwashed by the diet and fashion industries in particular to think of obesity in simplistic terms.  To quote one of the world's foremost obesity researchers "obesity is a complex and difficult disease".  I suggest anyone truly interested in learning more about it do some IN DEPTH scientific research.

On the other hand, if somebody is happy to be overweight but still healthy, that's fine, that is their choice, even if they like to be obese, only if it is their own doing I find it a bit unfair to burden others with the costs that result from the condition. Actually I would tax fast food to high heaven and use the money for the health system (and whip every politician to an inch of his life if he'd attempt to use it for anything else).
