To be fair, there was a time when anyone who regarded Russia as not chubby were side-eyed. Everybody thought it was somewhat canon, or at least it seemed, and seeing Russia as only muscular with no chub was considered an immature and fat-shaming fangirl thing to do.

So even if I don't mind chubby Russia I was glad to see some confirmation of the opposite just to negate those more pretentious fans.
