We all know what a morbidly obese person is, right?

Question

We also know that they do exist. I'm wondering why we don't see any morbidly obese avatars. Are they not facing reality, when they choose their avatar, or is it just wishful thinking on their part?

Answer 1

well, if you're feeling under-represented you could always import your own...

Answer 2

Yahoo does not offer overweight avatars, nor old people either

Answer 3

I would totally use a super obese avatar if it existed, and i'm super skinny! lol.

Yahoo dosn't have them, because it would make people feel too self conscious. By making you look good, you are attracted to the avatars, yahoo answers, and therefore, Yahoo itself.

Answer 4

i want to move to Avatar land!!

Answer 5

I know that Yahoo doesn't provide obese avatars.  I'm personally not as skinny as my avatar, but this is the best Yahoo has to offer.

Apparently everyone is reasonably thin in the Yahoo world.

Answer 6

i don't think yahoo offers avatars depicting morbidly obese people, and if they did I don't think anyone would choose one, because people can be whoever they want to be on the Internet. Personally my avatar looks like she is about 30 lbs lighter than me, but I have no problem with it! lol
