Tired Of Seeing Prejudice Against Plus-Sized Women This Artist Reimagined Superheroes As Plus-Size
Brazilian artist Eduardo Santos (aka Edull) believes that everyone can be as strong as any Marvel or DC character. To show this, Edull has illustrated a series depicting plus-size women rocking everyday versions of our favorite superhero outfits.
“I have been working on this theme for almost 6 years now,” Edull told Bored Panda. “I want to show the world that all women are beautiful. They can be different from a social or visual point of view, but they all are beautiful.”
“Some people say I’m glorifying obesity and that it’s not healthy. But who am I to tell someone what they can and can’t to do with their bodies? I don’t know them… I don’t know why they’re fat, and it doesn’t matter to me.”
“What I can do is help them feel great in their bodies,” the artist added. “I can help them to be more confident and happier the way they are. And this is tremendously healthy. I’m glorifying the diversity of life.”

It’s sad that as a society we’ve become so scared of potentially hurting someone’s feelings that we feel normalizing obesity is acceptable.

Obviously this is an unpopular opinion, but as someone who has been there, and also as someone who lost and regained a few times before finally making long-term changes - the ONLY way you get back from there is by dealing first with your mental demons. Therefore normalizing obesity to SOME degree is actually extremely important. Yes, it's our duty to make sure people know it's unhealthy for them but also our duty not to make it a constant message of inadequacy.

It's not about normalizing obesity. There are plenty of heavier wemon that are seen as plus sized regardless of the fact that they aren't obese. My sister, my ex girlfriend, my moms sister, coworkers, ect. Plus sized doesn't automatically mean obese. If you wear a size 14, you're considered plus sized by societal standards. This doesn't take into consideration hip width or the size of your a*s. Just as well, whether or not someone is obese is designated by their BMI. If your BMI exceeds a certain amount, you're obese. I doesn't take into account muscle mass, breast weight, or anything like that. While no, we shouldn't normalize unhealthy behaviors; art like this isn't about normalizing something that has so many restrictions per person that it can't accurately be used half the time, it's about helping people feel beautiful.

This is really cute but realistically if they were doing the superhero work they wouldn't be plus sized anyway...muscular maybe but not fat.
