Is Rihanna Going To Make Being Fat The Hot New Trend?

So is it possible these photos of Rihanna from this weekend in NYC are a classic “bad visual” situation where she’s the same as she’s always looked but happens to appear like she’s going for Ashley Graham’s spot on the plus-sized hierarchy? Absolutely. Or maybe she’s been on the road, enjoying that good room service a bit too long. We all know that feeling after indulging a little too much for vacation.
But it looks to me like Rihanna is rocking some new high key thiccness. And based on what I’ve seen, that means it’s time to worry if you’re not a guy who fancies himself a chubby chaser. In a lot of ways, Rihanna is one of the biggest influencers in female culture. Think about some of the things she’s lead the mainstream pop culture charge on in the last few years. Nip piercings: Rihanna. Relentless thottiness on social media or public persona: Rihanna. Unrepentant approach to sex like a man: Rihanna. For as much credit as Beyonce or the chicks from
Girls have gotten as tastemakers of this generation of women, Rihanna is right there up front as any of them.
So you see her pushing 180 and it’s a tough world to stomach. With all the fat acceptance and “love me as I am” crowd, there’s definitely a world where I could see chicks see Rihanna make some strong “I don’t give a fuck I just love pizza” quote that goes viral and bam we’re in a world where all the hottest girls look like the humans in
Wall-E. And just in time for summer too. A world of ladies shaped like the Hindenburg loaded into one-piece bathing suits may be on the horizon now that Rihanna is traipsing around out there looking like she’s in a sumo suit. It’s a dangerous precedent and you may want to start adjusting your porn browsing to primarily BBW porn to condition yourself to this dystopian future we now face. This guy’s expression says it all:
Had to dig a little deeper in Rihanna’s Instagram for some pics from her glory days. Here’s hoping she’s just pregnant, happens to the best of us.
