^^^ I'm not arguing a matter of rights, but rather that once remuneration enters the picture it is not crass to express severe disapproval.

The rabbit has a point, it is upsetting to be criticized over your body, but if you choose to model it will come with the territory. Modelling is by definition a very vain world, it's not about setting a standard or trying to look "realistic", If people are aiming to have the body of a goddess/god, then criticism is very much needed to push people to that goal, it can of course go horribly wrong when those criticizing have a very warped perspective over what is considered beautiful or healthy but they themselves are also subject to criticism. There are numerous BBW models considered sexy, if a model was considered disgusting just because she's a certain size then yes I'd find that criticism to be ridiculous, if the model lacks the body type to have at least an even distribution of fat then chances are people won't find her attractive enough to be a model.

In this particular case (being the internet and all) is it really a case of criticism or is it abuse?

I don't really care one way or another. I like a bit of variety.

I've met some totally gorgeous women that would be considered 'Fat' by some.

I'm not a fan of exoskeletal bitches, I find them almost as repulsive as someone who is morbidly obese. That said, I think everyone should try and make an effort not to become one thing or the other, but you know. I'm not saying being overweight makes it impossible for you to be beautiful, though. I've seen really overweight women with beautiful faces - I just don't think they're very attractive. No, I don't think Beth Ditto is beautiful.

Beth Ditto's a bad example. I think she puts more effort into pushing boundaries of taste than into fulfilling other peoples' ideas of what's acceptable.
