Shapedivergent

A person who actively desires to diverge from their naturally skinny or slender body shape by pursuing significant weight gain, specifically for pleasure, erotic thrill, or playful self-transformation — often within consensual feeding, gaining, or feederism dynamics.

Related forms:
- shapedivergence (n.): the act or lifestyle of pursuing this body transformation for fun.
- shapediverge (v.): to intentionally gain weight for pleasure. "After years of staying slim, she decided to shapediverge and hasn't looked back."

Etymology:
- shape (from Old English sceap, "form, figure") + divergent (from Latin divergere, "to turn apart" or "go in a different direction").
- Coined to capture the deliberate choice to "diverge" from one's current body shape in a direction society typically discourages (toward fatness) purely for enjoyment.

Usage examples:
"She's always been naturally thin, but lately she's come out as a proud shapedivergent and started documenting her intentional gain on social media."
- "In the feederism community, shapedivergents often seek partners who will help them achieve their dream curves."
- "He's not unhappy with his body — he's shapedivergent and finds the process of getting softer and rounder incredibly fun and liberating."
