Focusing advertising efforts on the plus-sized market in the United States and Canada makes perfect sense. While some argue that featuring plus-sized models normalizes unhealthy obesity, it's important to remember that clothing companies aren't obligated to teach fitness and health. Their main goal is to sell to various markets.

Well actually, it IS the norm, or at at least close to it. According to Healthline, it is estimated that over 42% of adults in America have obesity.

I am absolutely not like you and do not like looking at you either.

It's fucking vile.
You're mostly right, but its not bullshit. Accoring to Gallup, 7.1% of Americans identify in some range of LGBTQ, with 21% of Gen-Z's identifying as the same, and, the number is rising. So again, another market niche.
