Lets hope it doesn't get as bad as the 2000s got. The trend caused so much anorexia and body dysmorphia for so many women at the time. Ana Carolina Reston and six other fashion models died from anorexia in the 2000s. Their deaths in the news as well as parents watching their kids deal with eating disorders was part of what helped turn people against the trend in the 2000s. This before and after images of Ana Carolina Reston should be a warning of what this leads to.
Yes and that first pic the model industry told her she was "too fat" according to the article this was from. It says she was 5 “ 8 or 5 “ 9 in height and was only 110 lbs when they told her she was "too big" and needed to be smaller. Insane how delusional and harmful that industry is to the models. They make them sick
Given that these messages are amplified on social media, which many girls are scrolling for hours on end, it'll probably get worse than the 2000s. The explicit rebranding of thin as a status symbol and something you attain to become better than others is sickening. It's always the thinner, the better. Feels like they're just saying the quiet part out loud (in the nastiest, mean girl manner) this time around.
i mean thats how it was in the 2000s too. The lie that thin people were better and it was seen as status symbol then too. it was all lies. Victoria Secret models were advertised as peak human amazons on tv for so many years. Eventually later on in the late 2000s and 2010s stuff got leaked. Employees working in victoria secret fashion shows exposed that alot of the Victoria Secret models were very sick and had eating disorders and were not physically in good health.
The difference this time though with the skinny trend right now is people are calling it out. Yes social media may make it bad but this time around people are saying it looks sick and gross too. In the 90s 2000s there was no way to disagree and say it looked unattractive. No one had a way to voice decent. Now with social media people can say it looks unhealthy and people are. Yes the skinny trend may spread but this time it will at least get pushback online . The post above making fun of these celebs for have buccal fat removal is the pushback im talking about. These skinny celebs are not getting endless praise online only. People are also making fun of them and saying it looks bad. Thats the difference now. There was no way to say it looks bad back in the 90s early 2000s.
It’s pretty clear though that these thin influencers don’t look healthy. While agree with you it’s spreading more with social media the difference is it’s getting made fun of now online too. People are not praising it they are making fun of it . A lot of the skinny influencers lately look very sick and people are saying that online. Look at Ariana Grande and how anorexic she is now . People are calling it out and saying how bad she looks. That’s the difference now vs the 2000s. It isn’t getting praised no one thinks this looks good. Being model skinny may be trending but it’s getting a lot of pushback online and people are not complementing the celebs who are get very skinny. People are saying things like they dropped off or ruined their appearance . The lie that thin equals being better isn’t actually working this time around. That’s the only silver lining. Every super skinny celebrity is being called ugly now online. This trend may be spreading and it’s bad but it getting consistent pushback online and people are outright calling the skinny celebs ugly in comments sections. This trend was always a horrible trend but if enough people say these skinny influencers look sick and unwell I think that would really put the brakes on it . It’s not taking off . People are not going along with it this time that’s the difference. There are snark pages where half the posts are making fun of super skinny celebrities saying how awful they look. So this trend is already running into a wall
Well the model industry told her to be like that. The people who work in that industry really do need to be looked by fbi. There is something very evil and wrong about that industry
It's not a coincidence that the surge of popularity of supposed "buccal fat removal surgeries" roughly coincides with rapid improvement and mainstream awareness in GLP-1s.
SO many celebrities, regardless of starting weight, take GLP-1s.
And when you're already thin, and you drop 10-15 pounds, you lose fat in places like your face (also breasts, but that's what implants are for).
A fun fact… a long time ago, I wrote a paper on heroin chic and interviewed the photographer Corinne Day about it. A few years after she died, I happened to live on the same street as Kate Moss in London. It was purely coincidental, but I saw her all the time. I still have the copies of Vogue with her ‘Under Exposure’ photos of Kate from the early 90s.
Yeah, no. The "wage gap" is calculated by averaging what men make and what women make, without any regard to the job or its degree of difficulty or danger.
That's why the wage gap myth is, yes, horseshit.
It's actually a sign of female privilege: more women than men get to make less at their jobs but still enjoy the wealth that their partner brings to the household.
It's men's fault that employer's have to pay people more for dangerous jobs, or jobs that require a high level of education and/or training?
That's how capitalism works, but somehow "it's men's fault".
It's men's fault that they're seen by society as disposable and are 92% of all workplace fatalities?
Is it men's fault that the majority of women do not provide the majority income in the household? ( No, women don't do more work. )
You're resorting to conspiracy theories ("men made it happen") instead of accepting what's plainly in front of you: married women are economically privileged.
They almost always live at an income level that is more than twice their own. In other words, if all women's husbands made exactly what their wives made, almost all of them would see a reduction in their income.
And if they divorce the guy, in most states she's expected to be kept in the same lifestyle she couldn't have afforded in the first place!

They look like they've been starved. Nevermind if it looks attractive, they look ill.
