I think ppls perception of what a skinny or a fat body looks like are so warped, in art.
I've always thought that you could trace a photo of a real-life skinny person and people would praise you for your honest, body-positive depictions of women.

Here, I did it myself, just to show the proportions of a literal skinny body.
I TRACED a picture of taylor swift, a thin woman. For fun, I also edited it to look like what people expect a Skinny Body to look like, in art.

I'm not saying this art style is bad. I have partaken, myself.
But it makes me so uncomfortable when people praise thin-to-average bodies in art as plus sized.
They aren't plus sized. That's just what bodies look like.

I also think that streamlining is a part of this.
To repeat myself from earlier, I think that people get distracted by The Details. Skin responding to tight fabric, stretch marks on thighs. But the FIGURE ITSELF is thin.
I'll use my example from earlier.

I just did a silhouette trace of the body I sketched earlier.
People will see this body and marvel at the positivity for thicc and fat people, but the body itself is thin. Not entirely different in proportion to taylor swift's body.
