No. Over here I'd call this borderline obese. These people are unhealthily fat and it's frankly an indictment of the US that people try to sweettalk this sort of behaviour with words like 'curvier' and 'plumper'.

Sorry that we don't all live in towns entirely populated by bulemic supermodels. It's frankly an indictment of you and numerous other commenters that y'all would look at these photos v. the fat people televised for entertainment and decide "yes, these are entirely indistinguishable and therefore warrant the exact same terminology and scorn".

Get a grip.

Dude. I never said that they were indistuinguishable. There's levels from fat to hambeast to "their movement influences tides". That doesn't make the first category acceptable.

Then why would you police my language and demand I use the exact same terminology for a very wide range of body sizes/masses?

> There's levels from fat to hambeast to "their movement influences tides".

And there's likewise levels from thin to fit to bulky to curvy to plump to fat.

> That doesn't make the first category acceptable.

And who, pray tell, are you to decide what is or is not "acceptable"?

I never said anything about the language you should use. I said "that is really fat though". This is all pure projection on your end.

You literally did:

Your words, not mine.

To be fair, 170 lbs 5'4" in terms of BMI is right at the top of 'overweight' and only 5 lbs (or 1 inch) short of 'obese' [1] (although it is well short of 'severely obese')

Of course, it wouldn't be good for your dating life if you considered 50% of women 'obese' so it's good you've got more sensitive language.
