11 cases when plump bloggers expressed their dissatisfaction, but only doomed themselves to criticism (8 photos + 4 videos)
Body positivity is gaining popularity and has become a social movement that encourages people to accept and love their bodies, regardless of size. There are bloggers who have achieved success simply by sharing what it means to be overweight in an ever-changing world. They are not afraid to judge others for their “fat-phobic” behavior, advocating for equality and inclusivity. However, as we know, the audience does not always support their "idols" 
1. Discrimination in Bollywood 
Anjali Anand does not agree that she is considered a plus-size actress in Bollywood. She feels it is unfair because actors like Govinda and Rishi Kapoor have never been called that.
She told Fever FM, “Nobody would call Govinda a plus-size actor. Nobody would call Rishi Kapoor a plus-size actor. But as a woman, I am always called that. People often ask me why I don’t advocate for body positivity. I don’t want to do that.”
2. Slim Parties 
Miami Beach in Florida is famous for its nightlife. This is where 27-year-old Fallon Melillo, a staunch supporter of body positivity, was heading. She and her friends bought tickets for the party bus to the pool party. But the organizers didn't tell her that the event itself was closed to big girls.
Mellilo tried to get into the party, but was turned away.
"There is no law governing this, and it's just awful, rude, and degrading," the girl complained.
3. Fashion for the skinny
Samira, a TikTok content creator, tried to shame Target for making clothes only for skinny people.
She read on the stand: "Choose a jacket size or two bigger for a lighter, more relaxed feel."
"A prime example of how brands target skinny people. If I'm a 3XL or 4XL, where can I get a size or two bigger?" she asked.
But her followers cut her off: "Not many people have your body type. Corporations define the market, not your feelings."
4. Pool Handrails
In a video filmed in July 2024, Jaelynn Cheney argues that public pools without handrails "are not inclusive." She also repeatedly emphasizes that "obesity is not a disability."
“Handrails in all pools are a must for swimmers of all sizes and abilities,” says the 27-year-old American. “Without handrails, we are preventing so many people from using pools safely. It’s time to make sure everyone can swim.”
5. Quitting her job after being told to ‘cover up her belly’
Abigail Canterbury was simply doing her job at a job that had a lax dress code. Her manager told her to dress more modestly and cover up her belly. She simply replied, “No tops, I get it.”
However, after talking to her colleagues, the girl found out that they do not follow the dress code, and never before even revealing outfits raised questions.
“Not only did it catch me off guard, but it also hurt my feelings,” Abigail admitted.
Her reaction? She quit.
6. A look of disgust
A Brazilian blogger known under the nickname Sidney recorded an emotional video for his subscribers, telling about an unpleasant incident during a trip.
When he was on his way to Rio de Janeiro by plane, he accidentally touched a woman: "I was passing her and my stomach touched her because of my weight. She looked at her hand, wiped it and looked at me with disgust. I felt like the most terrible person in the world."
"I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Usually I don't allow myself to be disrespected, but this time it was different," the Brazilian admitted.
7. Taxi Driver Refuses to Pick Up Overweight Passenger
When Dajua Blanding, aka "Dank DeMoss," called a Lyft, she was turned away because of her weight. The driver took one look at her and immediately locked the doors, preventing her from getting into his Mercedes-Benz sedan.
In the video, Dajua says, "I can fit in this car."
The driver replies, “Believe me, you can’t. I’m so sorry, but I have to cancel the trip. You won’t be charged. I’ve been in this situation before.”
The driver apologized and suggested she order a bigger car, like an Uber XL.
8. Car Seat Size
“Supercars should be accessible to everyone,” said Gracie Bohn, a Panamanian plus-size activist who demanded that the makers of the luxury McLaren sports car increase the seat size to accommodate her 55-inch hips.
It's no surprise that netizens have criticized the model. They suggested she switch to a larger car.
27-year-old Gracie assures: "It's not my fault that I have such a big butt."
Many believe that her appearance is the result of numerous plastic surgeries: "There's no way that such forms are natural. So it's absolutely your fault."
9. "Why do you need two chairs?"
Gracie Bone once again caused heated discussions when she asked for two chairs in a restaurant. In the video, the owner of the establishment helps her arrange the chairs.
The video has gained more than 5 million views and 80 thousand comments.
“Life changes when you love yourself. I’m so happy that you’ve all witnessed my transformation. To those who criticize me, no, I’ve never had any procedures done to my face. This body is a gift that God gave me. I should cherish it,” Bon said.
10. Paying extra for a seat
And again, Jaelynn Cheney. It’s known that airplanes have uncomfortable small spaces. The travel enthusiast is not satisfied with one seat, so she created a petition on Change.org.
“Airlines should provide all plus-size passengers with an extra seat, or even two or three seats, depending on their size, for free,” Cheney wrote.
Her request caused a storm of negative comments. Some users suggested introducing “weight pricing,” like they do for luggage.
“So my body is compared to luggage? Weight pricing is fatphobia and dehumanization. It’s time to stop treating fat people like we don’t deserve respect,” she countered.
11. Private Jets Are the Solution
After Gracie Bohn advocated for more spacious seats on planes, several airlines blacklisted her. But that’s not a problem for her, since she’s now decided to fly private.
“Every time I traveled, I bought two or three seats. I asked for more space and they didn't like it. Now private flights are my only solution," the model explained.
