Uproar Over Obese Mannequin

According to The Gloss [2], a photo posted by a user on Reddit [3] is creating quite a stir. The picture, which features a larger-than-average mannequin, started a flood of comments when the user posted it with the title “Anyone else horrified that they make obese mannequins too now? [3]” 

Not shockingly, the photo instantly got attention, with many upset over the idea of an obese mannequin. Comments including “It's like the person who designed this has never seen a fat person before. ‘I'll just make everything...bigger.​’'

What do you think?  Why is this causing such a stir when no one seems to be upset about super skinny mannequins we normally see?
