Woman weighing 464 lb reveals men pay to watch her chug calorie-filled drinks through a funnel and jiggle her flab on camera
A woman who weighs a staggering 462lbs (210 kg) has gained a plethora of online fans just by eating 10,000 calories a day in front of the camera while her viewers pay to watch her eat different kinds of food. Amanda Faye, a 25-year-old who lives in Southern California, is part of a fetish community called feederism. This community's members see eating and putting on weight as a form of erotic activity.
Unlike many of her peers in the community, Faye has actually found a way to make money off her enormous appetite by charging viewers per video to see her do anything from downing calorie-filled drinks through a funnel to jiggling around her fat, Daily Mail reported.
She explained: "I do stuffing videos, where I eat massive amounts of food, funnel feeding videos, where I funnel down liquids through a tube and weight gain shake chug, where I down large amounts of liquid in little time, so my belly looks even more swollen. This is all as well as other fat fetish content, including fantasy talk or playing with my belly."
Faye's partner, who has not been named, is referred to as a FA or "fat admirer". He is also said to be completely supportive of what she does for a living. At one point in time, Faye even lost 98lbs in an effort to fit in with society but found out that she was more comfortable with being big after some soul-searching. In spite of all the negative comments, she said that "being fat makes me happy, physically and sexually".
Faye added: "The negative comments are nothing I haven't heard all my life, or called myself for fun anyway. I get the typical insults — fat cow, Shamu, like the killer whale, or lard a*se. I'm a very positive person, so I generally ignore it, or give a playful comment back."
A friend introduced Faye to feederism in 2016 and in the community, she is known as a gainer or feedee. A gainer or feedee is someone who likes the physical act of getting bigger.
Gainers will either increase their size by overeating to a critical level or use padding to make themselves larger. There are also those called feeders who love watching others get bigger and encourage them to put on weight. Faye said: "I was shy about feederism at first. But, as time went on, it felt more like my calling and slowly but surely, I fell in love with the community."
Faye started her social media journey in feederism on Feabie, a site for feedees and feeders. She then moved on to micro-blogging site Tumblr and finally set up her own Instagram account. It wasn't long before she gained more than 51,000 followers.
The social media star did reveal that she has been asked a lot of interesting questions and requests with regard to the food that she eats. She said: "I feel the most popular food people enjoy seeing me eat is Taco Bell, burgers and fruit. One guy paid me to eat 13 pears and crack open a coconut to drink its milk while half-naked on camera."
Faye said that she films about two to three videos each day for her Patreon supporters as well as those who submitted specific requests.
She also live streams on Instagram so that her fans can feel more connected to her. The woman typically eats about 4,000 calories a day but this can go up to as much as 10,000 when she is filming, depending on what her fans ask her to eat.
The main appeal with the job is that it allows Faye to be creative. She said: "I love interesting ideas so my job is never boring. Personally, I don't find it difficult to maintain my size for my followers. I'm naturally a bigger girl, so as long as I continue to eat well, I easily stay fluffy and gain for my fans."
Even though she has had to endure some aggressive or overly demanding customers, the majority of all her fans are very respectful towards her, unlike the internet trolls who leave nasty comments.
She said: "You really start to flourish as a person when you choose to be yourself, despite all the forced perspectives and idealized characters you're told you should be, in order to truly love yourself. As long as you're being true to yourself, nothing else matters."
Faye added: "Body positivity is such a controversial topic and no matter what I say, there will always be people with their swords drawn, ready to fight me on this, so I'll keep it simple — everybody and every body is beautiful. There shouldn't be any shame in celebrating that, from hairy legs and flat tummies to back rolls and saggy breasts."
