I have met one (1) woman who this even remotly could have applied to, and she still has a healthy BMI, but just sits in the high range of it.
She is a landscaper and has a flat toned stomach, wide shoulders, wide hips and is fairly busty.
She is very strong and 23.9 bmi.
Also does a ton of mushroom picking, ocean fishing, kayaking, hiking, etc.
That is what as known as a "statistical outlier"
Something fats do not understand

They hear the term "statistical outlier" and think its just another special snowflake badge to add to their sash, all thought stops there

Huge bones, lots of muscle, big boobs and ‘pudgy’? Yeah, right!
NO. You’re a lying fat pig.

> Body builders have morbidly obese BMI.
The more you know. I was surprised but it must be true. Whales simply cannot lie because it goes against their nature.

There are a few morbidly obese bodybuilders but they are on heavy doses of steroids (which presumably these fatties aren't), and the bodybuilders themselves are extremely unhealthy. They are literally bringing up people who are going to die early to try and prove a point.
The whale didn't say some body builders, so it was a generalizations. It said muscle and bones throws off BMI and then exaggerated by how much. The point was moot.

Every time they pull the "muh big bones" excuse I can't help but think https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/06/f8/f0/5f/argentinosaurus-vertebra.jpg
Where are all those oversized human skellies? Fats are fucking stupid.

How do you make 5 pounds of fat look good?
Put a nipple on it.
That joke always pops in my head whenever someone says the secret phrase "xx pounds of fat"

Even though BMI has flaws, it still correlates well with what it's trying to find. BMI correlates well with and predicts diabetes, heart disease, etc. You can argue it's not perfect, but as long as it makes above random predictions, it is good science. The argument isn't whether BMI accurately measures body composition, it's whether BMI has any informative qualities. Until you can show BMI to be below random, you have no argument.

Only fat people say BMI doesn't count.
Even body builders don't even say that. They know how it works. Fats are just always grasping at straws.
