"Suma"... yeah. At least figure out the word. There's probably under 1000 professional sumo wrestlers in Japan, on top of that most Japanese are rather slim and the fashionable look has been that of a slim build for a pretty long time now. But you're saying what, that you expect the Japanese to nevertheless consider fat faces more attractive or something?
Next time at least pick a better example to make your point about culturally driven judgments. I think you ARE right that ideas of what is sexy, etc. have cultural and learned components. But your example is just atrocious so of course it wasn't taken seriously.
