What's the alternative! Hire a plus sized models for each size? Wouldn't that be too expensive.

[–]Zarathustra420 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Usually, with models, the payscale is weight(kgs)*time(hrs worked). So, a larger model costs more to use for the same amount of time compared to a regular model.

Source: Am weight-recorder for models. Often, companies will tell a modeling agency in advance that they only want to pay a CERTAIN AMOUNT for a models time, no more. So models will have to do serious cuts before being weighed in, not unlike MMA fighters.

[–]Tessskimo 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Most of the time they don't even have a model of the pants. Not sure why they chose this as an example? Like what fat person knows how many little people fit in their pants?

[–]KidFranki3 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Those aren't little people tho, they're average people

[–]Monksbane102 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Only if you have to feed them.

PLUS SIZED PERSON OF HIGHER MASS NEED TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES SO WE SHOULD ACCOMODATE AND CREATE A FANTASY AROUND THEM WHERE THEY ARENT FAT

[–]Convict003606 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (13子コメント)

I don't think the problem is that it makes the pants look fat, I think the problem is that cramming four people into those pants, two in each leg, is an extreme way to demonstrate that. They could have just found a genuinely fat person. So it's not a matter of creating a fantasy, its a matter of poor taste in marketing materials.

Edit: look at the feet on the fat pants.

[–]Sam-Gunn 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

WANTED: Really really really really fat person (XL+++) to model the largest size clothing we offer.

I can't see anything going wrong with an ad like that.

[–]Convict003606 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

They could get a person that was a fat but not quite as fat and just photo shopped it the rest of the way. There were so many other ways to do this, like with a mannequin, that this is really the dumbest possible path they could have taken.

[–]Sam-Gunn 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm sure at the end of the day it all boiled down to how much money they'd have to spend to model it correctly.

[–]lopsiness 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes we could just have the two professional models we already hired who are on set, or we could commission a mannequin of a 650 lb woman! I'm guessing the first is easier , faster, and cheaper. I'm also guessing that that the hassle of finding a suitable model that size to take a couple pics is also borderline impossible or at least very impractical. It's actually a very smart idea.

[–]serenwipiti 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Where are you seeing the extra 2 people?👀

[–]corruptGAMRking 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Am I missing something, or are there just two people in those pants, one in each leg?

[–]buffalocoinz 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not sure a person of that size is ever getting out of bed and standing long enough to take this picture.

[–]No-Yes-No 41 ポイント42 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I hate that this is what some people actually want. Fat acceptance must be most stupid shit ever...

[–]Chirimorin 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Depends on what level of fat acceptance we're talking about.

Sure, I'll accept that some people are fat and don't want to do anything about it. But I do have problems with people expecting special treatment because they're fat, people who lie about why they're fat (it's "because I eat too much and exercise too little", not "genetics" or "big bones") and most of all: people who claim that being fat isn't unhealthy.

[–]Zarathustra420 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

people who claim that being fat isn't unhealthy.

This one floors me the most. Not because I want to force fat people to admit how unhealthy they are, but because they're spreading completely false information to other people who may not be well-informed about their health. I have seen seemingly well-educated large folks say with total confidence that being obese isn't correlated with health in any way. Like, sure, believe that if it makes you feel better, but don't say it out loud, where some stupid kid might hear you and think "ooooh, welp i guess I get to eat all the cake I want now!"

Just because YOU want to eat without moderation doesn't mean you should be encouraging others to have your shitty lifestyle, ESPECIALLY your kids. I get so upset whenever I see a kid too young to know any better who's just been made MASSIVE by their parents. I honestly think it borders on child abuse.

[–]TheRealMotherOfOP 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Let's be honest here, the ones who want fat acceptance are usually fat themselves.

[–]femalebot 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean they aren't just get a fat model

[–]Nixie9 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's a time to tell people to sort their shit out, when you're trying to sell them something is not the time. Can you imagine if you walked into a shop and the staff took the piss out of you? Would you then buy their products? Or would you get the hell out?

[–]squashedbananas 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Come on. It's not unreasonable to want clothes that are made for my size. And to want them to be modeled by a fat person, not four skinny people.

[–]nagemmherb -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Gut Lard, are each of your legs the size of a whole person? Come get you some UUGalaxy Apparel pants!.

Nice pants for fat cunts.

Lol yes it is

[–]ayilura 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Does the green one really have two pair of foot ?

[–]Lupan88 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's actually a pair of legs in each leg of the pants.

[–]randomuser8765 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (2子コメント)

As people eat, they become larger. Once they become large enough, they begin a process called fission, in which they will eventually split into two separate people. The first parts to split are the legs and arms, with the torso next and lastly the head.

[–]Johnnybxd 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"Hey you fat piece of shit, you need pants that two normal people can fit into. You disgusting pig." - best weight loss plan ever.

[–]intelligilliterate 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think this is the PERFECT way to show your wares are plus sized.

[–]Pm__Me_Steam_Codes 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I want to know who the fuck answered "how should we display our fat people clothes" with "put a person in each leg".

[–]41145and6 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (2子コメント)

If I remember correctly this was from an Asian country. They don't care about hurting fatty feelings.

[–]dreucifer 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

To be fair, it wouldn't at all hurt a fatty Asians' feelings. They'd just be all, "yep, I am the size of two people."

[–]41145and6 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And that's how it should be. When I speak with my clients I use very matter of fact terms about obesity and fitness because things are far too sugar-coated in American society when it comes to this particular problem.

I lay out the current situation, realistic goals for a given time table, and what will need to change in day to day life in order to achieve it. I'm not judgmental, but I don't dance around the truth at all.

[–]stuffiliketosay -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No screenshots

[–]TommyTwoTokes 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ahahaha, that's hilarious. Maybe it will save someone or change someone. If they see the pants they were about to order can fit two adults in it - maybe they'll realize they have a problem and need to do something about it.

[–]squashedbananas 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Look, man, I know I need to lose weight, but seeing the way people are talking on here just makes me want to eat more. Because it makes me sad. It makes me feel worthless. And that makes me want to eat.

Maybe this insight will save or change someone. If they see that they're hurting and not helping - maybe they'll realize that treating someone like less of a person because they weigh more than the average person is in fact a shitty and stupid strategy for helping out.

[–]DisposableBandaid 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Look, I get it, I'm fat. That means I'm wider. It doesn't mean I'm fucking TALLER. Why does every clothing item I am forced to buy have the crotch at my knee level?!

Just like this 10XL picture...it's like 12 inches longer than the blue pants for some reason. Honey Boo Boos mom wasn't 10 feet tall, ffs. She was just WIDER!

[–]Lupan88 82 ポイント83 ポイント  (63子コメント)

Why not? This shows that the green pair is gargantuan

Sure it is, shame the fuck out of those two people in one person motherfuckers.

[–]IWearHipsterGlasses 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What about the odd number plus size ? Where are the 3XL, 5XL, 9 XL ? That shit ain't right.

[–]tweedchemtrailblazer -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you don't like the way "fat" is depicted because it effects you personally there is an easy solve for that. Don't be fat

[–]Cottidae 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (1子コメント)

At some point, I would think that they probably stop being "pencil" pants.

[–]ShiplapTravertine 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep, they become Magnum Sharpie pants.

[–]pm_me_ur_pudendum 143 ポイント144 ポイント  (5子コメント)

If you have to buy 10xl clothes it's time to reevaluate your life.

[–]Chirimorin 67 ポイント68 ポイント  (3子コメント)

If you managed to get to 10xl, it might be way too late to reevaluate your life.

[–]Kanzel_BA 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Your decisions may weigh heavily on you at that point.

[–]vitriolic_amalgamati 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Laying it on kind of thick there, don't you think?

[–]FLIPRecords 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Plus size pencil pants.I love alliterations. It's the reading version of popping a pimple.

[–]shane_low 43 ポイント44 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I'm going to guess that the reason for this is not so much to be funny or offensive, but because they couldn't find a person of the correct size to model it.

[–]threenamer 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

They have obviously never been to America.

[–]Kayak_Fisherdude 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Asians have a culture of shitlording. They give no fucks. They have followed obese tourists around just to take pics.

Are we just going to ignore the fact the far left model is packing six inches of man meat?

[–]ElectroMonsta 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was about to ask why nobody was bringing up the fact that the left model had hooves. Then I realized there are two people in the pants lol

[–]Brandonono 79 ポイント80 ポイント  (7子コメント)

It's that a bulge in the left pant leg?

[–]TheRealMotherOfOP 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Is pant even the correct word for one half of a pair of pants?

[–]Ceph_the_Arcane 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean, grammatically, you just answered your own question.
