None of the girls depicted could possibly have over 25% body fat percent. A healthy percentage for a woman is 25%-35% or about, sometimes higher depending on body type.
What you think is bad is healthy if you think anything “fatter” than depicted is bad. Check your unhealthy expectations and get them away from women.
First and foremost, you may have read my comment but you didn’t comprehend my comment. If someone has 25% body fat they, by definition, have more body than fat.
When we’re talking about the form of a character that we can see, then I feel like the most relevant sense of “body type” is one that includes the whole picture of both the underlying bone structure/musculature, and how fat is distributed on the body.
Linking things back to the original image, I personally find it absurd that even the body type described as “full figured” still has a thigh gap. Even people who are slender rarely have a thigh gap, so this depiction is ridiculous. I would interpret “full figured” as describing someone who is on the larger side of the healthy range (or is a bit overweight) but is not obese, so this image is silly even without getting into discussions about whether obesity constitutes a body type (though I would argue it does, for the purpose of a drawing guide that is showing the difference between how different body types are drawn. A better drawing guide might even have included references for characters who are overweight and/or obese — after all, obese people are people who exist in the world, and thus I would expect them to appear in fiction also.
Tbf. obesity isn’t a body type. It’s an illness. It would be like calling a shriveled up cancer patient a body type.
It’s definitely a body type. Just not necessarily a healthy body type.
When you’re more fat than body, can you really call it a body type?

Depends on how you define body type I guess. If it’s more about bone structure and how fat deposits or how much fat/muscle you have on your body.

None of them are obese though.
That’s the point.
Some body types aren’t actually body types 🤷♂️
