Anyone else notice a relatively high amount of BBWs in Fine Arts Programs? I'm in college right now, at a place with a relatively low obesity rate (it's rough), but even then every art elective I've taken has had at least 3-4 big girls in the class; even more so outside at club events. I wonder why that is, compared to other majors. Anybody notice any other majors rife with fatties?
>>59594 I think its because art is something that can get very stressful and most girls in use eating as a way to relax. Art majors also seem to care less about their physical looks in my experience.
>>59597 Also forgot to mention but fattest art major I know was 397lbs
Fat girls are often outcasts, artists tend to be outcasts. Speaking as high school outcast who graduated with a BFA.
>>59597 >>59598 Ignore this childish retard. >>59610 This is the reason why.
>>59594 The BBW I lost my virginity to was a fine arts student, so you might be on to something. I've also been with BBWs who studied English literature, psychology, archaeology, two who studied law (note: this is what I myself studied), and two who studied midwifery. Honestly if you're trying to scope out BBWs based on their university course, I think midwifery and nursing are probably safe bets
>>59628 These women choose majors that are basically “painting with a twist” or “book club” rather than engineering. The reason is their soft willed consumers are heart, consuming talented people’s cultural works isn’t an education it’s vacation.
>>59594 Here are my two cents as someone who studies IT, but enjoys doing art/creative stuff as a hobby. Art is in no way physically demanding, with sitting at your desk for hours on end. This for one enables you to lose track and munch on a bunch of snacks every couple of minutes and is far less effective at burning calories than other more sporty hobbies i.e. soccer, track, etc. You also would not join the soccer team and munch on snacks every chance you get, just with all the social pressure and actually training/doing the sport... The same goes for hobbies like reading, gaming, etc. What these things also got in common is that you don't need to go outside or be very social to do them, as you can just stay in the safety of your own room with no one bothering you/making fun of your physical apearance. Also from my observations of artists on social media, most of them seem to be left-wing feminists. This goes hand in hand with bodypositivity, self-love, and sometimes even health at every size. The same goes for almost everyone who's producing media/content/nonnecessary things like art. This is in contrast to somebody who does woodworking, metal work, etc and is more down to earth/less likley to be leftist.
>>59628 I don't want to be cheated on with a doctor.
>>59632 Artists tend to be "left wing feminists" because to be creative is to be sensitive is to be empathetic. But thanks for that unnecessary injection of political bullshit. Media/content/art are the furthest things from "nonnecessary." Imagine your life without it — it would be unbearable. Creativity goes back to the beginning of human existence for a reason.
>>59636 "Media" and "content" feels necessary to you precisely because your real needs are met You have food, you have shelter, you are not currently in physical danger. Most people, in history, didnt have "art" save for a few folk songs and passed down stories. The relationship we have with an endless stream of "content" is a byproduct of technology and life being better. I'll go further : when you have a genuine community around you, the need for "art" actually decreases unless it's something you can experience together. Zoomers are obsessed with media because they have less friends than any other generation.

>>59639 You're drifting off topic, or rather, changing the topic to fit your argument. By your definition how "necessary" are any of the most popular college degrees? We could easily survive as a species without marketing or IT. >Most people, in history, didnt have "art" LOL You know nothing about the history of art/music/literature/dance/etc, and your last paragraph contradicts itself.
>>59636 > Artists tend to be "left wing feminists" because to be creative is to be sensitive is to be empathetic Hahahaha. The meanest people in my life have been left wing feminists. Most are racist and think their shit doesnt stick. When they aren’t wallowing in their white mediocrity they make claims of unearned male privledges then complain that their boyfriend only pays for 80% of the stuff and she wants more stuff. They’re have 0 awareness of class or race or really anything truly political beyond their unionized golddigger alliance. They’re just professional consumers who think that spending $250k of daddies money on a useless BA degree makes them smart or talented.
>>59632 > This is in contrast to somebody who does woodworking, metal work, etc and is more down to earth/less likley to be leftist. Equally retarded as the globohomoist white feminist take. The working class is allied to unions and the left, try again dummy. Right wingers are people like Musk who buy ownership of other people’s creations.
>>59634 This made me laugh but it's probably accurate, at least for non-specialist doctors who work in hospitals. It seems to be extremely common for non-hospital GPs and hospital specialists to fuck/marry their secretaries (rather than nurses), and I say that from personal experience (people I know IRL)
>>59644 I don't have a dog in this fight but are you really trying to say that many tradesmen aren't right leaning? Yes they tend to support labour unions (obviously) but they also tend to be pretty right wing / anti-woke on anything not directly related to labour rights (LGBT stuff etc) I mean how many construction workers voted for Trump? Isn't that his support base? Stereotypically, at least
>>59651 Tradesmen tend to not vote. You’re yanking your own chain if you think dudes making $45k a year to put their bodies on the line want lower taxes for the rich and less unions with curbed strike power and lowered worker rights. The only reason they don’t vote is the dems are not “left” it’s a party of corporate “neoliberal” globalists who’ve destroyed the working man’s standing in America for most workers. Normal tradesmen aren’t Nazis itching for the opportunity to became a penniless serf for some autistic tech nerd.
>>59651 God you can smell the 5-foot-nothing stink from a mile away. Own your beliefs faggot. And next time try some data literacy: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/10/17/key-facts-about-union-members-and-the-2024-election/ God I wish you genetic rejects would jettison yourselves out of the white race so we can have a shot at winning sports next century.
>>59658 Support for the left are at an all time low right now. Even I am more focused on waiting for the next 1923, Landman, Super Bowl over progressive politics.
>>59651 Construction workers hate Trump because his craft is shoddy and he hires unpaid labor. He's only popular in the South Jersey-Long Island area. To answer OPs question, snooty fat woman who likes arts is a stereotype of NY cause of school of visual arts. This ignores the fact that Art used to by misogynistic because of Dali, Picasso and women didn't get credit cause of the art movement. Valerie Solanas started the trend of radical feminist but she's was skinny and schizo. Andrea Dworkin started the fat feminist, but she despised pornography and was super conservative. Before Sylvia Plath was the go to for schizo poet.
>>59610 >>59632 this thread requires no further discussion, these are the answers. art is a low physical exertion hobby that accepts and sometimes even celebrates outcasts. it also allows you to vent inner pain or outsider ideas. end of. the rest of you are just stretching the thread premise to sperg about your politics like you do in every thread. fucking embarrassing.
>>59671 as a bbw in fine arts rn, and has been fat and interested in art ever since i was a social reject internet kid, this is 100% true
>>59673 Make thread.
>>59671 That's a negative stereotype of art from people who don't live in the art world. We're way past the time Basquiat died of a drug overdose or Woodstock. I argue art is going back to its Catskill-Norman Rockwell roots. Progressives are just defaulting to hating billionaires
>>59682 i know i know don’t feed the trolls but “art is going back to its Catskill-Norman Rockwell roots” is the most hilariously out of touch braindead take i’ve heard in a minute. thanks for the laugh.
>>59877 I meant that post modernism, dada, and pop art doesn't dominate art scene. Art has gotten conservative and Catholic in terms of design with Europe and Asia dominating. America cares about the Cheifs-Eagles. Conservatives don't like modernism to begin with so there's no real incentive for me to be Kisame17
