I get the idea of drawing sanses with a lot of varying body types (especially in a human design lineup where they'd be even more different) but it's disappointing that them being fat is almost never the starting point
I feel like it's (in large part) the oc-ification of the characters that led people to disregard that canon sans is fat and start with a skinny baseline with their variants and only just barely deviate once in a while. and it got me thinking, would yall ever make skinny alphys aus? would it not raise an eyebrow if suddenly the majority of fanart for her was turning her skinny?😭
(then again we know what happened with old toriel fanart.. idk how many people are still on that today but the phenomenon def felt like "I find her attractive -> but I don't find fat people attractive -> I'll make her skinny to fix that instead of questioning my bias" but the fandom just wasn't in love with alphys enough to "fix" her. sans on the other han-)
Putting the tags here cause I think they're important.
I also think people forget that fat people actually, y'know, exist in real life.
As a fat person, it can feel really upsetting to see canonically fat characters turned skinny for literally no reason other than aesthetics. As if being fat isn't visually appealing or attractive or cute, or however you want to put it.
Maybe people need to ask themselves Why they want their version of a canon fat character to be skinny.
If you think a character looks Worse fat, maybe, and hear me out, don't draw that character.
