PussyCat questioning her body
" For those that know me, you know that I worked hard to get the body that I have now. When I was younger, I used to be rather skinny, almost boney ( my goth faze ). I decided to get some meat on me, at least a belly. My body was stubborn and I couldn't gain any weight. I tried a lot of healthy techniques and foods, but I gained nothing. I soon found a nice combination of foods that helped me get a small belly. I continued to go on that meal plan until I had a cute and sexy tummy - not too large and not too big. The right amount of pudge that I felt made me look rather sexy. I've managed to keep the tummy over a course of a few years. I've gained and lost a few pounds randomly, but I managed to keep the roundness of the belly perfectly and my health stable. My breasts also grew along with the weight gain, which had it's ups and downs. I had to get rid of my old shirts and pants and buy some that fit me and showed off my figure. But when was the last time you saw Ookami draw me with pants on??
Right now, I'm questioning my belly. I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with my round figure. Many of the shops I used to go to no longer sell clothing for plus size women like me. They only focus on the slender and skinny female clothes, yelling the message that only slender women look beautiful and sexy. To me, that is BULLSHIT! I have to go to other stores to find some clothes that would fit me and they are about twice the traveling distance. Commercials and billboards also push the fact that a slender body is the ONLY body a woman should have. The market pushes the idea that skinny women are more visually appealing than rounder women.
It's not just the stores and media that are getting to me. Its also the furry community. I love the community and for those that know me, I sometimes question certain areas about it ( mostly the fetishes ). I don't see that many 'round' female fursona's and characters on FA or anywhere else. Most to almost all the woman that are drawn by artists are always slender with large breasts that are always the same shape and defies gravity. It's the same figure all around. Whenever I do find a furry character with a belly and "realistic proportions", its mostly a hyper/vore/inflation fetish aftermath that is the cause of it, and even those don't have a realistic feel to them. Like the commercial ads and the stupid clothing stores, the same message goes: 'A woman with a skinny and curvaceous body are the pinnacle of being attractive and erotic.' Ookami draws me with the figure I personally have and is very happy to draw my round belly. Ookami says that women should have a nice bit of roundness to their belly and it adds character.
Have you ever went to a furry convention and/or physically seen a furry fan who is a bit round in the belly or body, but their characters/fursona is the exact opposite: skinny, muscular, curvaceous, and god-like? Why do people do that? I've never asked, thinking that might be a personal area to wonder in through.
I'm rambling, so I will get to the point of all this: I'm starting to have second thoughts with the way I look. I just look at my body and I start to feel a bit down with it. I'm very round. I'm not over weight and I have no problems with the extra mass I have on my body. I just feel a bit alone. Even though I made my body the way I want it to look for years, what is the point when you can't share it? I love my roundness. It aids in my cuteness factor and who I really am as a person. I've worked hard to get this shape. But now, the general media are mostly focusing on clothes for very skinny and large breasted women and the general population believes that round woman are not "healthy" and "attractive", I'm starting to feel a bit down and alone.
I'm even starting to feel, as a feline female furry, that I look unattractive to other furs because I'm round and not skinny. I know thats not really true, but I feel like I just need some encouragement from some friends and fans...
I'm ROUND. I'm SEXY. I'm HAPPY. I'm a WOMAN. is what Im constantly telling myself whenever I feel a bit down about my physical appearance. I believe that a round woman has a natural attraction and has always been since the dawn of time."

i love your chubby art more than anything! its so freaking cute its like the main reason i watch you! that and your adorable kemono style.
beyond that i relate to your story a lot and im find myself in the same position sometimes. I too was very skinny when i was younger, even anorexic in middle school, but it was all because i was ashamed of myself for feeling differently than most people. I think chubby girls are beautiful, I think that people in general look more attractive a little rounded out (within a healthy limit). For a while I've been trying to gain weight and recently its been paying off, and in that respect I couldnt be happier. ;3 So long as you're eating well and exercising regularly, then why should you feel bad about being the way you are?

PC you are a wonderful and cute woman. You are very sexy and I understand the feelings you have. My words may not help but I hope you will listen. A woman is built in design for a nice round body. You are perfect the way you are. Thousands of furs and people love you just as you are. We would never want you to change or feel bad because of what twisted minds from an even worse and twisted media say. Hell with less clothes for more round people we get to show off our beauty in the clothes we have and you can even wear shirts a little tighter that are comfy and just love the snugness. We are here for you PC and every decision you make. We will be here for you through literally the thick and thin. Please don't fret little kitty. We love you and you must know this. You rock your body PC. You set that movement. You made me feel so much better about my body and image. I will be here. Your fans will be here. We support you PC. Always remember that.
You should never have to change your appearance for the approval of others; it's all about what you want and what makes YOU happy. But I do agree with you on many fronts in regards to fursonas and their body proportions. Generally, people who aren't satisfied with how they look will project their desires onto their characters. That can be both good and bad from an objective standpoint, so it's all preference it terms of what you find attractive. But in the end, hourglass figures and big breasts are the general consensus in terms of desirability. It's definitely hackneyed at this point to see a curvaceous fox girl as the subject of many furry artwork, but that doesn't stop the furry masses from liking it all around.
In my opinion, it's admirable that your staying true to who you are despite the outside pressures. Until the media can recognize the many facets of beauty, aside from the hackneyed ones, its best to stay adamant and open-minded. :) As for me, I like generously-endowded women, (both furry and human), but I still find your body to be attractive with the added weight. To be honest, it does get boring seeing the same proportions on furry characters no matter who draws them; but again, its all about what they desire.
Keep on rockin', PC!

There's two kinds of fat. One is the ugly lose-some-weight-bitch/shouldn't-make-whatever-in-that-size kind of fat. The kind that just says lazy fatass. And then there's what you're talking about. The chubby girl who isn't slender. Those girls have an odd appeal to them; an almost addicting appeal. I say you'd be loved if I met you.
Also, artists like Sif and Drakefenwick do some nice chubby girls (though the latter does puff up the boobs a bit though I'm not complaining).

Think it may be an issue of your fans and commissioners not sure what else to do with her besides something panties based in the theme? She's a cute character to me, but since that is what she got known for over time, think most of us aren't sure what else she likes.
there's a good reason Sir Peter Paul Rubens loved drawing ladies with figures like yours.
despite what mass marketing and media say, there are plenty of folks out there who find chubby folks attractive.
I'm fat because that's what I've wanted ever since I was a scrawny little kid.
I was stick-thin until I left high-school and haven't gone back to that sort of figure since.
I'm not ashamed of my figure; I'm pretty content being the weight I am.
I hope you'll find some happy place along this soul-searching, PC. :)

I must say that I think that a little round is very appealing. I must also say that you need to be ok with what you look like. Worrying what others think happens. I won't pretend that it doesn't. I also know that it's really easy to stand on the sidelines and say just get over it. It doesn't work that way though. Everyone works through things at their own pace. No matter if they've experienced something that is identical to what you are going through it's still different because they are a different person and will react to it differently. I don't consider myself very attractive. I have a gut and am on the larger side of round. I am not even a full blown furry. I don't have a fursona nor have I gone to any conventions or other places with such. Not saying shame on you or that I disagree with what you're doing or anything I'm just telling like it is. I don't know how other furries view each other. I only know how I view people. I can say, at very least, that if you look anything like the pussycat in the image above that you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. I am not saying this to get attention. I am not trying to do anything but give my opinion... and perhaps help you with your opinion of yourself. I hope that you can become and stay happy with yourself. It's hard sometimes but you're all you've got (Meaning of course that you only have the one you. Not that you don't have anyone else).
Personally I love PussyCat's pudgy status and just wanna rub this beautiful tummy of hers. Chubby girls are the most fun type to cuddle with because they're warm and soft and have a comforting structure about them that's soothing in nature and evokes childhood memories of happiness with a favorite blanket.
That said though a person can only do so much convincing that a particular way is correct before their behavior borders on selfishness. How long do you spend trying to convince somebody you like to stay a certain way you're comfortable with simply because you're worried about how their change will affect you? Can you really insist that they remain miserable for your own selfish interests and personal creature comfort?
Sometimes the best thing to do is simply stand back and be supportive of what they want. Be there for them as they try new things regardless of how they turn out.

But what if they are only unhappy the way they are because of pressure from other people?
Staying the way they are is then "being true to themselves", which is an important thing.
It also reminds me of a song about a man who was a musician, but then was talked out of it by a 'friend'. "So a burnt my guitar/and I forgot all my songs", and at the end he's left wondering if he lost the most important thing by becoming conventional and generally-approved-by-society.
And when you come to think of it, they are only miserable because of these outside pressures. Why should they give in to them?
By being friends, we should encourage them to follow their dream - I know that term is overused, but it applies here. I personally had to fight very hard for most of the things I really believe in, and despite the toll it took on me, it was more than worth it.
PC, don't give up ever!

Now, I love women of all shapes and sizes, but I must say a round sexy happy woman is the best kind of woman there is. X3 Don't let there be an inkling of doubt in your mind that people don't appreciate the lovely form you've worked hard to achieve! Also a big fan of PC.
Hope my words of encouragement help along with everyone else's here. X3

I personally prefer a woman who does have some extra weight on her. I love tummies, I love curves, I love roundness and suppleness. They are great and just a preference of mine. Everyone has their own views of beauty, which is why I don't understand why the media is trying to create a centered "this is THEE sexy body everyone should have to look attractive."
I don't like that. A woman is beautiful if she is confident and healthy, I care little about the shape since I find many sizes and shapes attractive to a woman. People may like skinny, people may like tall, and people may like heavy. That is fine, but I don't understand why some consider certain weights and looks "wrong" and they should be "corrected". What are we, the fucking Third Reich? Comparing to Nazis is a tired comparison, but seriously, how do you "correct" a body? It was shaped by genetics and nature in a certain way to preform all its intended functions.
Just my rant. TL;DR, I like nice round tummies, I like full figures, I like plump girls, I like curves. It's fucking hot straight up.

I agree with all your points!
I think part of the reason for scapegoating anyone who isn't the media-idea-skinny, like you said, is some of the same reasons the Nazis had - making an 'us' and 'them' thing. 'Us' being the very anoxeic-looking-skinny few, the majority of people trying to fit in with the 'us' crowd, and taking out their frustrations on the Approved Scapegoats - the 'them' crowd, of people like PussyCat. And it makes people who normally sympathetised/were partly in the Scapegoat Group pull away, either for fear of what the 'us' group will do to them (and scoffing at people was also a powerful tool in the Nazi regieme, not just physical force!), or to try to fit in with the 'us' crowd (most people want to be in the 'it' crowd, sadly) or because they've been made to feel abnormal and think they're 'wrong'/'unhealthy'/'(other controlling term)'.

And I think part of this is that the 'us' crowd
(and I add tha't I don't mean all skinny people, just the ones who are pushing this anything-not-skinny-like-them-is-bad adjenda)
don't want anyone else to be able to dress how they want. Especially as the more 'severe arty set' part of the 'us' crowd - the types who tend to be newspaper columnists and call themselves Social Commentators and things like that - seem to have a vendetta against cute clothes in general (I've seen that crowd push and push and push that - odd), and they are determined that no ordinary people "should be allowed" to wear them. It may be that they realise that it does make usual-build people look good - well, look at PC! She looks so cute!
And I think, like the laws in the old days - such as only nobles can wear anything other than sackcloth-fabrics - that the 'us' crowd are trying to keep people down by making them dress in the 'I can't stand the way I look, so I'll cover up (and look like I'm obviously covering up, it's so extreme)' way.

PC shouldn't be worried about those stupids beauty stereotypes dictated by the medias. Real men love chubby girls, not the hyperfat/oversized/whatever ones but the ones with just the lil bit of chub that make them lovely looking, just as she already looks, no more no less. ;3
NO! PC don't be sad about your body.
I was really sad about my body for the longest time, and I'm a man. Never liked my chubbyness all that much, I was always teased about it as a kid, but you know what? It's ok. I designed my character to be chubby because that's the way I look in real life. You get what you see, and you know what? I'm just find with that now. My chubbehness just means I give really good hugs an' cuddles, just like I'm sure you do!

Why should you feel embarrassed about your belly. If anything, this feeling is the result of the media giving stereotypes. Kinda like Ookami's post about being gay. There are ways that people default to, and its just not right. I myself am pudgy, and I'm wanting to lose a little bit of it. The reason is that I trained for a race, lost some weight, and felt good about it. Granted, I'm not the most motivated person in this area. To me, I'm used to pudgy women, because my mom and sister are that way. I have come to take that as being beautiful. I don't see anything wrong with being pudgy, and at the same time I don't see anything wrong with being skinny. The only time I have a problem with it is when people fuss over a few pounds gained, like its the end of the Frakking world.
Anyway, You should be proud of yourself. You've kept your weight the way you want it, and your fans adore you for it. You're a taste of fresh air from all the mannequin dolls floating around.
Stay cute!

A lady who has a nice belly will always look fine in my book. Never you mind what people in this crazy society think of what a woman should look like. You are beautiful on the inside, and I'm sure you're just as lovely on the outside! I usually find those who are twig-like on the outside are usually just as unattractive on the inside as well, probably because they are just as starved as they look. Hahah, I know I was that hungry (still am) when I was around that skinniness.
I've had the same feelings on all points!
I have had the feeling for a long time that alot of twig-like people are sort of brittle on the inside - even if they are nice enough people deep down - a sort of unable-to-be-honest-with-themselves thing, trying hard to please other people, and never really comfortable with themselves!

Your not the only one who your sona matches your natural figure! Skinny is attractive, but pudge is the cute.

Though granted I've put on some weight since then, but I love my body and the way I look in both sona and in real life. The media sucks and you should ignore its stupidity. Roundness and plush for the win!

Don't change yourself based upon those little things!!! Be proud of your pudge and give all the hugs!!! Have confidence and most of all: you are super cutes with it!!!!
PC - You're adorable and sexy in all your glorious chubby round self.
I'm one of those female furry artists that strives to make their female characters round and pudgy and chubby, because that's my body type (and truthfully, the body type that I'm most attracted to in others - my Dragon has a pudgy 'beer belly' and I'm always fondling it and going on about how sexy it is and how much I adore it).
It's hard being a plus sized woman in a society that's so hyperfocused on 'skinny = sexy'. I'm currently working on losing weight, but my goal is to get back to the weight I was before I had my son many years ago - while I'm frustrated sometimes that I've regained some of the weight I lost before college, since my son was born I've lost and kept off over seventy pounds! I still have about fifty to go before I hit my goal, but once I reach it, I will still be squishy and pudgy and curvy, because that's a look that I like.
You're so fantastic, PC. Keep on keeping on. :3

As a man I'm really slender, a little short and thin, not as muscular and masculin as others of my gender. But I feel good with it, that's who I am. It doesn't make any difference how you're built, you look or act, as long as you like who you are. If you don't like your appearance you often have the chance to work for it. It's Ok as long you keep realistic and don't put yourself in danger to reach the goal. The great deal is, that we are all individuals, everyone's great as they are and we should show the world, that there are awesome people out there which cannot put into a box like advertisements try to tell us.
Find yourselves, be yourselves, like yourselves.
Find yourselves, be yourselves, like yourselves.
I'm a pudgy woman and I like it that way. I know plenty of guys/girls who find that extremly attractive. Much more so than the skinny stick figure models you see on the billboards. The big boob thing is the only thing I can think of that would really mess with a girls head. A medium to large C or D cup is considered to be the minimum size of acceptable sexyness for women. I am pear shaped and not as big boobed as that and like your issues with the belly this sometimes makes me think I am not sexy or womanly enough, but then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror wearing my favourite clothes and I can't help but think, "fuck the image society tries to force on us, I'm an inteligent, sexy, confident woman and I am happy with my body"
I find many furs don't portray their online selves as their real selves because they want to live up to this imposed image of being "perfect" and loose sight of their own perfection in being imperfect.
Your beautiful as you are, be happy and be proud :3

No!!!! Don't be like that. Though I draw skinny, I also like a bit of pudginess. I say that too skinny and I'm afraid I'll break her while too big and I'm afraid she'd crush me. But you PC, you are the type that I'd go for... If I wasn't already taken. Besides the way I see it, a chubby girl means more to love, so there's just more to love of ya' PC
I really have to say, that I'm trying to lose some weight for years now. Maybe I'm the only one, but I feel kinda like an elephant with my big hips... Yeah, having some meat and the bones isn't false, really, round women look sexy but... I really like skinny women too. I don't know why and maybe some people will hate me for saying that, but I prefer beeing skinny, 'cause I've been 'chubby' my whole life.
Anyway, I reall like your art and this is such a great piece!

I do think curvy is WAY more sexy than slender on some, but for others, it doesn't suit them well. Weight and taste is so personal, I won't dare to say if one should be slim or pudgy, it's a matter of choice, comfort and confidence, Society is a thing that won't get people anywhere but in a stupid box in a hole with no memories, nothing to be remembered for. What will make you happy in the end is yourself, and what you lived with and for :D
Yes we all gain & lose weight... That's NORMAL, people! A situation happened to me long ago back in college that still haunts me today in phis ed class... Oh yeahhhhhhhhh you all see where I 'm getting at... that dumbass teacher measured my weight, height & fat percentage thighy, he looked at me and said directly "147lbs.......you're extremely overweight, based on your height your safe health should be 90 lbs!" I stormed off with frustration while he was still talking... OK I am 4'10.5" tall and I still weight 147lbs today! and proud of it! that "professional" did not bother to ask my background & origins be4 saying shit like that. I've been self training since I was 9 (used to get beaten up pretty bad in school) I have a big bone structure and I am British, Irish, Egyptian ethnic... All I am saying is that don't let media and whatnot (criticism) put you down, Be proud of your curves cuz they're real, and it makes more to love
To PussyCat:
All the things you've noticed, about the media's pushes? I've seen it too. And I agree totally - it's awful.
I spent an hour (or longer) on Buzzfeed the oth'er night, writing comments on articles trying to encourage women like you to appreciate the way they look. I especially had to work hard on the article that told them that becuase they had a visible stomach, they had to wear silly high-waisted bottoms that went up to their ribcage and covered up their cute stomaches! What ah silly thing!
I think it awful how the stores don't cater in their cute clothes for women like you. Personally, I think your figure looks nicer in short tops and all those cute outfits than women with the idealised flat stomaches!
Why hide what looks so cute? Why want to hide it? The 'community ideals' are stupid!
(And in the Upper Volta/Volga region your build, or chubbier, is considered ideal! So there!)
It especially annoys me having 'how to dress' shows that mainly focus on telling anyone who's not utterly flat-skinny that they have to 'cover up', that they're somehow 'indecent'/'ugly'/'slobby' for wearing cute clothes. (I notice the hosts are always skinny...seems like a 'we'll stop the not-skinny/not-us from dressing well' tactic to me!)
I also agree with you about being annoyed at the hyper/inflation/vore/etc fetish group; most of what I come across in categories like Chubby is really in that group, and most looks grotesque and awful (truely 'inflated'), not anything a real person would have (unless they were really unwell). I think those sort of pictures sully things for cute people like you, adding to the general bias "if you're not skinny, you must be an awful slob". Iht's so awful!
And you are right: the right amount of pudginess does make you look very sexy! And you are just right and very sexy!
Now a little about myself, which may encourage you: some time ago, I was reading a webcomic, and came across the term Chubby Sexy. I couldn't get over it. A term like that meant someone else felt the way I do - that figures like yours are beautiful! I was even more encouraged to meet the supporters of BBW like you! Wow - I still thought I was the only one, in a world of 'you should/must be skinny or there's something wrong with you'! It really means alot not to be alone! Don't give up!
Don't feel alone! That's how I felt for long years! There are others here like you!
And I agree it aids in your cuteness factor (!!!!!!!, for want of better words) and who you are as a person. I've seen women who lost weight and seemed to have lost their personality with it - they just look bland-faced now...I watched an actress, who had tried not to become skinnt, finally give in to media pressure, loose weight and really go downhill personally
And don't feel you're unhealthy - for one thing, the 'body-mass index' (or whateveh) has been gradually shifted over the the years to count people who were accepted as healthy a few years ago to now be called...well you know the insults.
Keep being kute!
All the things you've noticed, about the media's pushes? I've seen it too. And I agree totally - it's awful.
I spent an hour (or longer) on Buzzfeed the oth'er night, writing comments on articles trying to encourage women like you to appreciate the way they look.

Why are you looking at cartoons for healthy body views? You know that heads/hips/eyes aren't that big either, right? That it's a cartoonishly unrealistic ideal that'd look weird if not downright disturbing on a real human. Not to mention, if it's porn, you're not going for realism. You're going for exagerated attractiveness to help get the job done.
Funny enough, in virtual reality porn forums guys tend to prefer less exagerated, more natural bodies. The huge silicon tits and stretched faces look weird when you move closer to real life.
