##Description

A place for plus-sized people to discuss fashion, body acceptance, dating, hair/make-up, fitness, health, fat-shaming and other related matters. Accepting of all sexes and genders. 

We boot any shaming or negativity, sexually harassing comments, or inappropriate remarks.

------------------------------------------  

##Am I Plus-Size?
"Plus-size", according to the Cambridge Dictionary is, “A size of clothing designed for people who are larger than average.” 

Not everyone uses this term, so we have listed other descriptors that may describe yourself:

- Curvy
- Fat
- Full-Figured
- Rubenesque
- Voluptuous  

We do not enforce a criterion for plus-sized. For more information see this [Position Statement](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlusSize/wiki/plus-size-criteria)

##Rules: 

**(1) Be respectful**

Shaming (including body shaming), gatekeeping, sizeism, ageism, personal attacks, racism, harassment, and hate speech will not be tolerated. Do not post hateful or hostile comments about others who may need support from this subreddit. The term “plus size” is going to vary among each individual. The definition for /r/PlusSize is on the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlusSize/wiki/index). Follow reddiquette.

**(2) Avoid toxic negativity**

This includes posts and comments containing intense self depreciation, “fat equals ugly” rhetoric, and toxic pessimism. Please remember that there are people of all sizes in this community. Be mindful of what you say. Posts that seem to serve no purpose other than "ragebait" may also be removed under this rule.

**(3) No pick-up dialogue, no creeping, no perving onto members**

Hookup-activity of any kind - including creepy "compliments" is off topic and unwelcome in this sub.

**(4) No NSFW images or promotions**

NSFW images are not permitted. Please note this includes lingerie and swimsuit pics.

**(5) No Weight-Loss Talk**

- For any conversation referring to diets or weight loss please use the weekly *Intentional Weight Loss (IWL) Wednesday* thread

- Do not make unsolicited comments about diets or weight loss anywhere other than the IWL thread.

**(6) No Self-Promotion**

- To promote your group, product, channel, insta, facebook, discord, book, article, medium, discord, youtube, or swimwear line, please use appropriate subs/channels. 

- Market research / product development surveys are considered self promotion. Academic surveys which have appropriate ethics approval may be considered but approval must be obtained from the mod team before posting. 

**(7) No personal information in screenshots**

When posting screen shots of any kind, ALL usernames, personal names, business names, subreddit names and human faces must be censored, cropped out, or otherwise removed.

Also, please do not link to threads in other subreddits.

Doxxing, witch hunts, or "Reddit drama-instigation" will lead to an instant ban.

**(8) Self-pics are only on Sunday**

Self-pics (pics of yourself either taken by yourself or a third party) are allowed on Sundays, under the flair, ‘Self-Pic Sunday’ from 4:00 UTC to 3:59 UTC. Please see [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlusSize/wiki/index/general#wiki_selfie_sunday) for rules and FAQ on this matter.
