Now, Watanabe is making waves across Japanese social media for her fashion-forward hair. After audiences couldn’t get enough of her quirky celebrity impersonations, Watanabe quickly shot to Japanese comedy fame with not only her talent, but her weight, thrust into the media spotlight. Following a number of mostly unsuccessful diet routines, she became a body-positive spokeswoman and cover girl for bigger women’s fashion magazine, [i]la Farfa[/i], before establishing her own plus-size label, PUNYUS. More than seven years later her”Japanese Beyonce” glam game is still going strong, appearing alongside RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Shangela last month in Las Vegas.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;49137062] So I take it that she is a he. Pretty cool to see such warm acceptance, nonetheless![/QUOTE] What?

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;49137062]So I take it that she is a he. Pretty cool to see such warm acceptance, nonetheless![/QUOTE] Even if she was trans, "she is a he" is really offensive and not correct at all. She would be a she.

Fat Idol groups. We live in revolutionary times.

Finally, FPers have a chance to be male models!

[QUOTE=Elspin;49137120]Where are you getting that Naomi is trans and would that be a cause for a "nonetheless"??? Bit of a bizarre op[/QUOTE] Because of that Shangela vid I included... I could be wrong, tho. :/

I'm very sure she's not trans [editline]17th November 2015[/editline] Naomi is female since birth and shangela is drag queen

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;49137155]Because of that Shangela vid I included... I could be wrong, tho. :/[/QUOTE] its still a disgusting and unnecessary transphobic comment

[QUOTE=KillRay;49137176]I'm very sure she's not trans [editline]17th November 2015[/editline] Naomi is female since birth and shangela is drag queen[/QUOTE] Well then, I stand corrected. [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] Back on topic, I must say that I don't pay attention to Japanese girls, but I've never noticed any chubby Japanese girls... they all seem to be -as far as I could tell- rather skinny. Never thought such a thing would catch on in Japan.

Never thought such a thing would catch on in Japan.[/QUOTE] there's been a few chubby idol groups emerging and stuff, its a push toward more acceptance japan is very strict on weight as compared to the western world iirc, the "trend" of pocchari is very recent and is a push for self acceptance

[QUOTE=KillRay;49137176]I'm very sure she's not trans [editline]17th November 2015[/editline] Naomi is female since birth and shangela is drag queen[/QUOTE] That doesn't make it ok.

[QUOTE=Ms. Gyroscope;49137332]That doesn't make it ok.[/QUOTE] Where did you get that I implied that (assuming you meant the op's sentence)? I literally was just saying that Naomi is not trans and Shangela is a drag queen. I wasn't defending anything.

[QUOTE=KillRay;49137306]apan is very strict on weight as compared to the western world iirc, the "trend" of pocchari is very recent and is a push for self acceptance[/QUOTE] That's precisely what I meant when I said that I never expected such warm acceptance on a seemingly growing number of Japanese people.

[QUOTE=Judas;49137229]its still a disgusting and unnecessary transphobic comment[/QUOTE] He definitely seems confused and it's pretty weird how he made the assumption that she was transgendered, but I don't think he was trying to be deliberately transphobic.

This beats that typically Japanese thing where girls need to act like socially and mentally retarded five year olds, "because it's cute".

Fakku has a chubby category. This is the tag icon [img]https://t.fakku.net/images/upload/chubby.jpg[/img]

Nothing wrong with bigger women.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;49137697]What's with the donut? Is it supposed to be one of those food fetishes...?[/QUOTE] I think it's "Shes fat so if I offer her a donut she can't resist sucking my dick"

she's been popular for what, 7 or 8 years now? [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;49137062] So I take it that she is a he. Pretty cool to see such warm acceptance, nonetheless![/QUOTE] also what the fuck is wrong with you

Something like that.

[QUOTE=butre;49138132]she's been popular for what, 7 or 8 years now? [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] also what the fuck is wrong with you[/QUOTE] Slow your roll big boy I doubt he was trying to be offensive in any way.

[QUOTE=Judas;49137229]its still a disgusting and unnecessary transphobic comment[/QUOTE] You are very easily disgusted. I'd say it's at most "slightly disrespectful", but probably not even intentionally. Why do you care about other peoples opinion of genders anyways?

Facepunch: the only place where in one thread they attack groups for being "overly pc" and in the next thread condemn a user to hell and back just because he used a phrase that he didn't mean to be offensive but was taken the wrong way. Anyway... the only thing I can find concerning about this is if this will spawn any ideas of girls forcing themselves to gain weight in order to fit in with the current trend.

op clearly wasn't trying to be offensive, calm down [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] like it's cool to correct someone if they're wrong but dont be all "holy fuck that is so disgusting what the fuck is wrong with you" [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Judas;49137229]its still a disgusting and unnecessary transphobic comment[/QUOTE] weren't you the same person that said crossdressers should fuck off from the trans thread?

Appreciate the support, guys :cat: [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] Didn't want to derail the thread answering them, specially after jumping at my throat like that. [editline]18th November 2015[/editline] Now, back on topic [I]for the second time[/I], [QUOTE=Fapplejack;49138293]Anyway... the only thing I can find concerning about this is if this will spawn any ideas of girls forcing themselves to gain weight in order to fit in with the current trend.[/QUOTE] I'm under the impression that a number of easily duped girls, with no self-control, let themselves go in order to fit into the HAES ideology... something I never understood. "-Oh my, I have a few extra pounds... eh, might as well keep at it, this group of people says it's totally fine to 'love your body at every size', and I can't be bothered to do exercise and control what I eat right now, so this works for me!!" Not a healthy outlook in life, IMO.

So, Being unhealthy is a social trend now. Alright.

[QUOTE=Passing;49138601]So, Being unhealthy is a social trend now. Alright.[/QUOTE] You mean being super skinny wasn't unhealthy? Nothing wrong with chubby.
