Thanks for the scans, Squiggles & Co.
I don't remember the story but wtf is this shit, my fatphobic dick would never.
"Fatphobia"? If, by that, you mean a fully justified aversion to morbidity. No man worth his salt should take interest in that sort of thing.
I hate that word--both that word and its JP equivalent, 「むちむち」. I originally hated the former because of its reliably signaling an inability to spell correctly, but for years, I've heard both used constantly as the characteristic call of fat fetishists. First, you couldn't see a single picture of a shapely--but
not fat--girl without a bunch of people going "THICCCCCCC" because they wanted to sound like a certain demographic. Then fat fetishist artists started pushing their taste for obesity, and their fellows started crowing "THICCCCCCC" in response to that as well. Now, you have the kind of waste embodied by Laevateinn in this arc popularized.
You say Laevateinn's not fat, chief, but I've got bad news for you: you're in denial--she's fat. She says it herself, she's got
unwanted body mass; this is just a fetish being pushed. Or, rather, it's food for the already existing fat fetishists--Western culture's been doing its part to inflate their number for decades, now.
