King Henry VIII was famously overweight. He had a 54” waist. And around this time (1500s) for a couple hundred years, excess weight was seen as attractive. As it meant you were wealthy, because you could afford extravagant meals.
Yeah neighbor, but none of this is relevant today.
That's the estimate of all executions during his reign, I think it was around 75k? The thing is, you could be hanged for petty crimes, but the higher number comes from religious persecutions (mostly catholics but ironically enough other continental prots as well)
That is so fricking r-slurred no he was considered handsome because he was fricking built in his youth. He was like 200lb and muscular. He just did the usual old bodybuilder thing as he aged and never stopped bulking
It effectively points out that thinking fat is unattractive or not is a localized cultural thing, at least. Which gives them permission to dismiss the haters and build their own culture without “rejecting reality”

Henry VIII was seen as attractive when young, back when he was a muscular chad.
He became a bitter fatass after a jousting accident which severely injured his leg, leaving him unable to perform physical exercise
