thin and fat are both beautiful. Don't knock the thin women to praise another body type. I love this term i think it's adorable, but I have an obsession for cute things. People may see this as derogatory, but in Japan being fat or chubby isn't seen as bad like it is in the USA and some other countries. It's okay if you want to be thin, but peer pressure makes people feel subhuman if they are and that is not okay.
"Are you a “marshmallow girl?”
If you’re plus-sized in Japan, one fashion magazine wants you to try the label on—as a new way for girls to feel good about themselves in a culture full of fat-shaming. The Japanese fashion magazine La Farfa is trying to change the way the nation thinks about plus-sized Asian women by adopting the new term as a positive description for larger women. And despite intense ridicule and dismissal from an intensely fat-phobic culture, women all over the world—and all over the Internet—are starting to listen.
In recent years, Asian and Asian-American women have begun speaking out about the pressure they face to live within the stereotype of the ultra-thin, petite Asian girl. In Japan especially, the increased reach of unhealthy Americanized fast food has brought with it even greater pressure for women to be thin. There’s even a fat-shaming weight loss app that Japanese women can download: Unlike its male counterpart, which features hot anime girls gently encouraging men to lose weight, the app for women features hot anime boys yelling fat-shaming phrases at women to encourage them not to eat—including addressing them as “fatty.”
But things are slowly changing: Lolita fashion is popular among plus-sized women, and La Farfa recently became the country’s first plus-sized fashion magazine. Last year, La Farfa threw the country’s first plus-size fashion show."
