--- End quote ---
As a decidedly not-curvy woman, I would like to object to ranking of women based on physical characteristics

This. I'm scrawny through no fault of my own (having the metabolism of a hyperactive ferret tends to lend itself to said scrawniness). I guess I'm immediately sub-par because of it?
Also, can we please refrain from using that obnoxious tiny text? I hate having to interrupt my read flow by clicking quote, just so I don't miss anything, and frankly I think it's a little inconsiderate to make people do that, just to be able to read the entirety of one's post.

Right on, sitnspin and Omega Entity.
My bottom half is curvy. Does that make me at least half as good as a curvy woman?
Physical attributes don't make the person, and it's honestly a dagger to my self-esteem every time I see stuff like that. I can't make my top half curvy to save my life. And I hate it. Thanks for validating that I should feel that way. :/
I would really like to be curvier. But I just can't force my body into doing that, no matter what I try. But all bodies are good bodies, unless you're physically ill because of it (whether you're big or small). I don't say that any body type on a man makes them better. Please try to extend the same courtesy to me.
And agreed on the tiny text. If it's short, I can highlight it, and it's all, "Search Google for [insert phrase]." But if it's too long, I have to hit the quote button, and by the time I get around to looking at that tab, it's become relatively irrelevant. You can make text small while still being readable. Just another courtesy, please. :)
And what is that person who sent that comment so butthurt about? This is an accurate portrayal of Marigold as a character, not "Generic Big-Bodied Girl #1."
Oops, missed this one:
--- Quote from: sitnspin on 30 Oct 2012, 18:57 ---I like athletic builds as well. Frankly, I like most builds as long as they are healthy. I was cursed with a slim body as well. I can't add mass to save my life, literally. I had body issues for a long time because of it. Too skinny, mistaken for a boy, etc. Bloody hyperactive metabolism. I eventually learned to be okay with my body and now I dig it. But, I still tend to be more attracted to the curves. Nice hips, round butt, and let's not forget that ladies' bosoms are rad.

I've also been mistaken for a boy quite a few times. :( I'm starting to learn to be okay with it. And if I were attracted to women, I can't say I'd say differently.
And this one:
--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 30 Oct 2012, 02:16 ---I'm also a big fan of the concept of Pepperberry, which is a shop that sells dresses with different ratios of waist to chest size. They're labelled according to curviness, which is cute. If I ever have money I'm going to and buy a dress from them.

I pretty much went immediately to their website as soon as you mentioned it. XD Sounds like a good plan--I may do the same! How bad is the price of shipping from the UK to the US?
Omega Entity:
See, that's what I don't get. I read comics to enjoy them, and I generally don't look any deeper than the story being told. Do people get a kick out of getting riled over some nit-picked detail that was most likely just some insignificant thing? Why can't a story just be a story? Does every story published have to be PC to every person on earth for it to not fall victim to this sort of thing? I personally hate politics, so I really have no desire to see anything about them in what I read.
Near Lurker:
Again, it is true Marigold is much more shapely than she looks with her clothes on, or than she has any right to be given her lifestyle.
DSL:
Some people just want to be offended. And if no one offers them offense, then they'll go looking for it and by god, they'll find it.
Omega Entity:
Loli, I think they were pissed that Jeph didn't portray her with rolls or something.
I'm wondering if this person has ever legitimately drawn the human figure before. Because if they had, they would understand that drawing convincing large people isn't easy, by a longshot, for (what I think are) obvious reasons.
