You're being a bit overly-sensitive in this case.

He is entitled to his opinion. However, BBW is a term that describes an attitude more than anything. It wasn't a term that was developed for porn but instead came up as part of a movement where big women were becoming determined to no longer allow themslves to be told they were essentially scum. Instead, they were allowing themselves to feel attractive, to hold their heads up. So, some of us get touchy when others tell a big woman she shouldn't call herself a BBW because it is exactly the attitude the term came about to combat in the first place. Perhaps you would have to be a large woman - particuarly in the days before the internet and a BBW community was so available - to understand. In addition, who is anyone to tell anyone they aren't beautiful? Everyone has their own idea of what it sexually attractive to them but to the next person they could be goddess.
