There is tremendous bias in the 'western world' against big, beautifully curvy women. Every time that I encounter it, I'm still slightly shocked by its vehemence...almost as if a big woman frightens or somehow pushes buttons in insecure people of any sex. Makes me wish I'd been there to ask, er....Darkstarhellion a couple of questions. Like: Are you by any chance an adolescent male? Or perhaps just at an emotional age that approximates adolescence? Did you feel uncomfortable looking at a representation of a female who out-weighs you and is possibly stronger than you are? And, as you pointed out, LadySilverMage, they chose to view the image despite the description you provided. So they deliberately exposed themself to something that disturbs them...sounds kinda kinky to me ;)
