from a comment

Fat = Materialistic, Mindless, etc... Your work is at its most dull when it returns to this theme. I understand the appeal of using fat as a convenient, socially understood physical distortion to provoke horror, but it's lazy. It really doesn't work, either, if the viewer isn't disgusted by fat people.

Well, guess it does work then

That would imply that said viewer is corrupted beyond the point of recognizing things for what they really are...sort of like an enabler of genocide not batting an eye because "X people aren't human".

You could say our individual reactions to the piece are very much an extension of it through reacting to those who see no horror in it.

Well, drawings don't really affect blind people

but I doubt blind people find fatties less repulsive, you know, hearing and smell are more than enough
