Here is something I really don't understand...how come with everything else it is perfect accceptable to use degrading terms like "bitches", "sluts", ect...but with BBW you have to tip-toe around the fact that they are in fact "fat"?

I agree with most of what has been said here. This isn't really BBW as much as it is a really big ass site. There is a lot of crossover I suppose.

Jay,
This is just from my observations about what people that search for bbw say about it.
I've never heard them refer that they are looking for "fat" women. The terms I've heard them use are large, bbw, big gals, women with meat on their bones, big women, etc. (They are generally not attracted to the thin or mid sized ladies.) But, I have never personally heard any of them use the word "fat".

One other reason would be social implications. Right now in the United States anyways, there are a lot of people that are overweight. There is a lot in the news about obesity. There are constant social pressures from the media and government for people to lose weight and eat healthier. The last thing an overweight person or a person that is attracted to them want when they go to look for some porn featuring these (fat) large women is more brow beating. They simply want to enjoy looking at what they like and not have it put into a negative light.

"Acceptable" to you is not necessarily 'Acceptable' to others.

A completely different surfer segment. Plenty of surfers looking for bitches and sluts, where a BBW fan loves how they look, like another surfer see's the beauty in a centerfold. Sure there are surfers looking for "Fat Ass Bitches", but those are not a true BBW fans, and a much smaller section of the BBW market.

I have never found any of those terms acceptable and I find them very offensive and degrading. It is a sad state of society when those are considered acceptable for just enjoying your sexuality.
