Japan has a very shitlordy culture, but have a lot of respect for sumo. Personally, (and not Japanese) I don't care. I'd be curious to hear from someone more familiar with the Japanese.

Wouldn't want to sit next to one on a plane, though.

Couldn't agree more, it's impressive though that they can eat over 10k kcal/day and still move faster/more agile than the average American. Other than that I think it is and should remain a grey zone that isn't defined. After all they are in Japan and don't block the line in the supermarket with their 10L of Mountain Dew and Diet cola.

I can respect it.

Their decision is conscious, intentional, and still requires work and discipline.

It is silly, and dangerous for their long term health prospects, but unlike most fat people, they are doing this for a purpose. A purpose that makes no sense to me, but I am aware of how respected Sumo is in Japan. Comparing it to Baseball in America doesn't even begin to cover it.

They also tend to slim down when their career is finished.

And it's kinda fun to watch.

So fuck it, there's exceptions to every rule. Sumo makes my list.

That's all it takes to get banned, folks.

If you don't hate fat people, you don't belong here.

They're fat. It's not acceptable.

Not all sumo wrestlers are necessarily fat:

This guy was basically pure muscle.
