Just as celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian are praised for their "curves" despite being very fit and slender women, the popularity of so-called "BBW" porn indicates that as a culture, we seem to be most accepting of "larger" women when they aren't actually that large in the first place.
If you look up the most-searched porn stars on the list, you can see that they still have collar bones. One of the women in the article even mentioned that she was classified as BBW despite having a healthy BMI. I think it's more that porn labels are dumb than humanity is becoming hopeless. But maybe I'm too much of an optimist.

I'm guessing bbw is suppose to refer to women that are larger but still in the healthy weight range. I think fats have stolen it like they did with the word "curvy".

That's possible. I can't say I've ever searched for that kind of porn, so this article was the first time I've seen BBW refer to anything but butterhuffers. I'd only seen fatties claim the title before, but then they tend to be the loudest about calling themselves "curvy," too.

Surgery or not, no one can deny that Kim Kardashian has curves.

body-positivity trend in the style sphere
Is that someone's way of subtly shitlording? It's just another way to say "fashion world", or more bluntly, planet. To me it's almost like using the word "rotund"... or am I reading too much into it?
I think I'll start calling fat models "style spheres" from now on.

I suspect pornhub will happily say whatever gets them some media attention. Looking at the numbers though: that's growth from 0.8% of the search terms to 1.2% of the search terms. A tiny niche then as now. And what's the margin of error on that?

Carmella Bing, who is the far-and-away leader of the pack of actresses whose names are searched with the term "BBW," is actually not much of a BBW to begin with. She doesn't market her work as BBW and running a quick Google Image search for the porn star pulls up a number of photographs in which she looks, with large breasts and a small waist, like a conventionally attractive porn star. Runner-up Vanessa Blake isn't much larger.
Hahahaha. Even fat fuckers wants a woman who is at least somewhat human-shaped. These butterhuffers are furrowing their forehead fupas that no matter how many magazine spreads they put fatties on, they're not actually changing what men find attractive. As Jasdecoy said, search results are also skewed by fat women looking up fat porn. Even then, it's still a small percentage of people looking up this garbage at all.
I also like how fatties are all butthurt over the liberal use of 'plus-size' when they've been hijacking 'curvy' for years now. Now you know how it feels.

The hypocrisy is fantastic isn't it? :D

tl;dr - Fatties from fat states look for fatty porn to pretend that a hot guy will ever fuck them. Which they won't.
Of course this is the one time porn is "empowering".

"Everybody is beautiful, you tall, fit, ugly bitches."

Ugh. The only reason why search results are showing increases in searches for BBW in the fatest states in America is because fat women are looking it up to try to find porn of women like themselves which would justify their need to feel sexually attractive to others. Then, when they find ACTUAL curvy and tall women, they get all butthurt.
