I let people make their shapes based on their comfort level and had them take it a step further. No its not an every day thing for them, but that doesnt make any of this more or less meaningful, especially for those who don't know what it's like to be fat in
sl...like giving a voice (pretentious much? lol) and shedding light on how it is for people who are not looking to be a size 0.
Just because my shapes arent big enough to make you happy, does not mean that I don't catch flack. it does not mean I don't have to adjust prims just as you do. I want people to see you can be a bigger size and still be beautiful..even if its just by adding some curves. I know what its like being big in real life and im happy with my size in
sl. that doesnt make your plight anymore important or real than mine. I was just telling the story of my experience, and that of a few willing individuals; people who were willing to try being in someone else's shoes for a bit. and it may not have been enough to get people to fatten themselves up, but it opens up their eyes to what it's like.
