    So? That doesn’t mean negative body messaging can’t get to her.

    As well, even if she doesn’t feel personally affected, she can still stand in solidarity with those who are.

    But in the end, it’s pretty shitty to judge someone’s body as a way to invalidate their message. Thin, fit, heavy, out-of-shape, none of that makes a different to the point she’s making about women’s swimsuit marketing.

      Definitely a good thing that people like that are talking about things like that. If a fat person posted that there would be a deluge of people pointing out how to just lose weight and stop being fat and calories bro it ain’t that hard you cant outrun a fork lol you know you can even get surgery must be lazy AND stupid lmao PIGGY BTFO etc.

      Someone in shape saying it? Shit, maybe its a problem.

        But what IS the problem exactly? It’s just manufacturers trying to make bathing suits flattering for all different body types.

          I can’t specifically nail it down, I didnt realise I was in the women’s section until it was too late, but my guess is its continuing the effort to push the ideal body type that everyone needs to aspire to.

          If you dont look like [model-of-the-minute] you’re worthless. The old Barbie-Doll argument but they’re still showing us how pervasive it is even after all the ruckus
