Hot take of the day is that the world is kinder to fat people than it is to people with longer than average limbs. Shirts and pants never fit right because the sleeves and legs are too short. And if I buy one size larger, the shoulders are too wide, or the shirt is too big around, and the waist is also too large and wearing a belt just makes it fold and look bad. Meanwhile, a lot of stores offer plus size options. Fat people can go to any regular store and find clothing tailored for them. I have to go to a big+tall store if I want sleeves that reach my wrists. I shouldn't have to go to a specialty store to get clothes that fit correctly. Fat people are celebrated in tv and movies and cartoons and music as representation. Body positivity normalizing fatness is a current trend. Long-limbed people are only celebrated when they go to the Olympics. Otherwise, we're called freaks. And yes, I'm speaking from personal experience.
