I don't have an avatar cause I can't find one that represents how fat I am...it is discrimination.

Firstly because the Yahoo! avatar-maker doesn't come with an adjustable weight option, so we're stuck with the default skinny.
Secondly, no one wants to admit to being fat! Even if it's a attraction thing. But there are cases in the world where people are prejudiced against overweight people (because of the God-damned awful stereotype of fat people are lazy/overeat/aren't active/ugly on the inside) and in a group of answers, someone might actually urge to pick a skinny person's answer (on a question about dieting for example!) in preference to an overweight person's, because it's 'not valid'. BS, I know. I realise there could be people who are also prejudiced against skinny people, but a healthy weight -not stick thin- is what should be promoted - not for attractive qualities, but for health.
Thirdly, I don't use a 'fat avatar' because I'm not overweight and therefore don't need to. ;)

There isn't any fat avatars, yahoo does this to make everyone feel equal and happy about how they want others to view them. That is why you can't make a fat avatar.

Are there fat avatars? I didn't know they were any. In any case, I'm not fat.

Maybe some us aren't fat...or maybe it's because you can't tell because the heads are the same size.

Because being fat isn't a good thing, and skinny people look better.
