I don’t think these people have ever seen an obese person before.

This character doesn’t look fat he looks like a wall of muscle

I feel like people don’t know why there’s a difference between body building contests and strongest man in the world competitions. 

for reference, Body builder:

Strongest man in the world contestant:

To elaberate:

Body Builders specifically build for looks, actual practicality, or real strength be damned.  

Strongmen just try and build as much functional muscle as they can with no regard to how it looks. That means huge masses of untoned muscle built for power and nothing but.

That’s old farmers and other people that have done hard labor for years to build up muscle tend to be bulky/fat and built like brick walls instead of chiseled and toned. 

I love that he’s good and fat because a lot of people equate fat with evil, badness, greed, gluttony

anyway it’s nice to see a strong god that’s fat that doesn’t represent greed or partying down like Dionysus and Bacchus
