tripperfunsterI am drawing a naked Neville, so I googled images for 'slightly chubby naked man'.
Now, I'm not here to fat-shame,we are all built differently but the #6 image is NOT SLIGHTLY chubby.#6
Neither is #9
How can these two people BOTH show up under that search?
This reminds me of the time I was looking for a picture of two people 'cheating' and being caught by the husband. I googled 'surprised lovers' and got photos of a guy fucking a chicken. Wow. Was I ever surprised!

Serious answer - Google Image searches are based on words appearing on the web page the image is embedded in, not just metadata attached to the picture itself. If you check the pages, the phrase "chubby" or "slightly chubby" appears on both.
