Never been a fan of their stuff, but honestly this is cool!

Same, as a bigger person and also queer, this makes me feel more confident in myself, their music isn't really my thing tho.

This is iconic. The proportions and the shapes are interesting to look at for what they are, artistic representations of a "bigger" queer body. I hate some of the actual clothing, but that's just because I hate denim and I don't think dress pants serve enough.

I think they look sexy tbh love their body

I really don't get this. It's nice for him that he is comfortable in your plus size body, but why exaggerate it in your whole identity and image? It's so forced and tiring.

 It's just the same old story with over sexualizing your body to promote your new image, it's unoriginal and boring. 

i don't see any oversexualization here, tf

All body types should be celebrated. I can't wait for Sam to go through Sam's skinny era again so we can celebrate that too.

But I also fear that people will become complacent with health and that it signals we can't talk about reducing body fat without it causing offense or being censored.

this is something i will never understand about people talking about body image.

you arent sam smiths doctor/dietician, your opinion on their health isn't valid, warranted, or wanted. (when i say you i dont mean you specifically u seem nice lol )

edit: ALSO bigger people usually arent deluded about their health. they can love how they look, be happy in their weight, and also still know they're not at optimal health so it just really doesnt make sense to me

[lasagna 2,893]

the fact that all sam smith does is exist in their body in a way that people like gaga have been doing for over a decade and it causes this much commotion just because their body isnt considered the ideal body will always be deeply upsetting to me.

it is no ****ing wonder to me that so many gay men have body issues, body dysmorphia and eating disorders if this is how we speak about people with differently shaped bodies.

everyone that speaks about sam smiths body in a negative way needs to know that sam smith wont see you being hateful, but your friends who have a body like him will, and the only person you'll have hurt is your friend.

if eugenia cooney does this kind of photoshoot ya'll would drag her and hate her for being "too skinny" and "not a good influence"..but ya'll gave sam smith a pass and suddenly a "role model" and "trend setter" because this person is part of the lgbt community

 

i hate the pick and choose cancel culture..if ya'll are HEALTH ADVOCATE atleast be consistent.

 

I don’t think Sam is unhealthy tho?

like yas he’s plus size but even then it’s not extreme obesity 

Eugenia on the other hand is actually sick and has been for years…

stoopid take

the idea that sam smith is at a point that they're that unhealthy/dangerously overweight and comparable to eugenia cooney is obscene. their body is perfectly normal. just call it what it is; its just not what you find attractive.

For instance, why aren't people showing the same outrage at pop stars promoting alcohol brands, as they do with Sam showing their body? Alcohol has negative effects on our health and alcoholism is incredibly destructive. Gaga just did another endorsement for Dom Perignon and they're not the first alcohol brand she's promoted. But I've never seen anyone complain about it and show concern about the effect on public health -  rather, it's celebrated.

oh bitch

The tackiness all over these pictures … I can’t

Love that they’re having fun, but y’all need to quit throwing the word ‘iconic’ around like it’s an everyday noun/verb.
