While I understand the last anon’s concern, I do think it was a side effect of a disposition to assume a lot of depictions of fat characters are done maliciously because of the malicious depiction of a lot of fat characters in media. I don’t necessarily fault them for it especially because Miss Piggy Peko could be misconstrued, but I find you do well with genuine depictions of fat characters, and I find it quite endearing how fat!Peko is always just as attractive, badass and beautiful as canon!Peko in your art, especially in the eyes of Fuyuhiko and there’s no infantilization or fetishization. Peko is just fat and hot and those things coexist and are not contradictory at all.
I’m sympathetic to anyone who’s been traumatized by fatphobia and fatphobic microaggressions. I focused my last post on providing quantitive-backed information about my past art where there was confusion. I think all of us (me included) could maybe do a bit better about not automatically assuming bad-faith takes from independent creators, though.
I understand the knee jerk reaction to Miss Piggy. I won’t pretend that she, as a character herself, exists in a vacuum free of fatphobia. I tried my best to highlight my POV of The Muppets as a still-beloved and timeless franchise for me, and how I admire Miss Piggy’s immediate propensity to kick some ass in the face of hate.
Thank you for the kind words! That’s very nice of you, I’m glad you enjoyed my art :)
