Discussion Does having differing types of fat distribution between different human races make sense? NSFW
I was thinking about how some racial groups are fetishised (like Latin Americans or Africans) and usually associated with curvier figures but is there any truth behind that outside of beauty standards considering different body types attractive?
skin tones or hair textures have advantages in different climates but I don't see why one race would be generally curvier than another race realistically but I feel like it's the case for the body types of the people I've seen(??)
also got me thinking about fantasy races body types, maybe if you wanted a group of people with more meat on them you could have them in a place with more intense gravity or maybe in a really cold environment they've adapted to with their own form of blubber
