The Roundtable

I feel like this may have a bunch of overlap with Hoofus' "Roundgenderness" thread (which I think again was a wonderful perspective and one I'm at least a little tempted to borrow from a touch, if not align with wholly) but I would love to have both some clarification and also some feedback from other users on how they feel on this stuff.

So I've noticed the term "permablob" recently and since I've been here, I've noticed it be adopted much more generally by others. So far it seems to be just with folks with 'sonas who're immobile-fat/infinifat or that and those who like our admins connect deeper to the concepts of size-orientated immobility for deeper and more personally meaningful reasons than just surface pleasures (as much as those can be involved to, of course!), but I'd love to hear a more direct overview of what the term means to those using it.

For those who feel similarly attached to being immobile-fat/infinifat on those levels, would you consider using the term "permablob" for yourself and if you would or already do, what does that mean to you and what makes you feel "permablob" suits better than other related terms? And if you'd rather other terms, then which ones?

No wrong answers here so long as you're being yourselves and respect the thoughts and feelings of others, naturally, but feel free to sound off!

(Tbf, part of this is also because I wonder how much I'd get out of the term "permablob" myself even if I enjoy using the fat-acceptance-community-approved term "infinifat" to help normalise the term and the communities that term serves...though I also wonder now I think about it if "permablob" is better as I'm not robbing actual infinifat people of their terms for their own presence or what, but I digress...)


(...oh yeah, ALSO if this is the wrong forum category for this to be in, feel free to move this over and sorry for any inconveniences, oop...)

(Thread moved given it's primarily about fat.)

what does that mean to you and what makes you feel "permablob" suits better than other related terms?

I like how to the point it is. 'Permanent blob' is an apt description of me and my critters, all of whom are uncompromisingly immobile large in ways that are effectively irreversible.

It also just sounds nice to say, I think???

No disagreements there! I myself find the term fun, just felt like I wanted to get a better understanding of the term in how its used before deciding if its for me too or not...well, if there WAS more to know but figured asking shouldn't hurt. x3

Aaaaa, sorryyyyyy. @.@ Part of me wasn't sure but I guess it leans too heavily towards that to not be more appropriate here, eh?

Bloat kinda nailed it in one, tbh! "Permablob" is just concise and rolls off the tongue really well, my fursonas are permanently and forever immobile blobs, they have methods of compression for when the mood strikes but that's simply hiding their true weight, not getting rid of it!

It's an easy way to identify my preferred and ideal size, and it's something that other critters less familiar with the term can intuit and pick up on pretty quick!

Thanks, Eli!

Heh, yeah I'm feeling increasingly silly on this thread being around given I may of overthought something that is way simpler than I felt it might be (my greatest skill is unfortunately overthinking so whoopsy-daisy) but...yeah, this might be a nice term to have for myself too if outside of here it really is a pretty harmless, comfortable way of easily talking about that stuff. :O

I'm glad that its so helpful to both you and Bloat, for sure~
