Comment on The fashion industry is still pushing crazy thin body images

  It's also distasteful to encourage eating disorders to enter the modelling industry by exclusively featuring models that are extremely underweight, but I guess who are we to judge...

    We are the society and judging other people’s behaviour is what defines morality. Not speaking up about things that are clearly fucked up as the model industry just shifts the whole moral-scale in their favor.

    But when they’re extremely overweight from their eating disorder, that’s body positivity and needs to be included for those people to not feel excluded?

      Why are the only options the extremely underweight or the extremely overweigh? What wrong with just using people of average weight? Or even just a healthy weight?

        The fashion business seems to thrive on either body positivity or body negativity, but not body neutrality. If you feel neutral.about you body, I guess that doesn't prompt you to spend a ton of money on products to celebrate or disguise it.

      The fact that you choose to take personally what was a comment about a model in an industry that specifically selects for extremely underweight models regardless of how they achieve that weight doesn't mean that it was an insult directed at you. You are not the subject here. You may have a unique metabolism, but the industry projects an unhealthy and largely unattainable image for the vast majority of people.

      We aren't ridiculing the model, we're concerned for their health...

      That’s not skinny, that’s starvation thin. The person in the picture is clearly not eating enough, any suggestion otherwise is just giving power to the notion that it’s healthy to be that underweight.

      Not eating enough food is an eating disorder, regardless of the cause of it.
