Why do I have to compare this to being obese? What metric are you using that implies
(obese == skinny) > fat?Very obviously for similar extreme in the physical condition.
So its only extremist based? What about body building?
Whataboutism?
You could say what about lots of things, but what about arguing your case?
Body building is not at all within a similar category of fashion magazines setting an unhealthy standard as for being thin.
Mention One high end fashion company that uses extreme body builders for their models.
Body building is a sport, being thin is not a sport.
Although body building is also extreme, it is a different category and a different debate.
It’s not whataboutism - just trying to understand your point of view how skinny is worse than fat when objectively speaking they both carry similar health risk, I’d even argue that until you get old skinny is still healthier than fat. So clearly you’re not referring to the health metric - what is it then?
You just keep patching your thought process with goal post movement. First it’s health, then it’s extreme mindset, now it’s “sport” whatever that means?
Either way cleaely you haven’t formed a steong position here and as someone who’s been friends with many people who are naturally skinny and got bullied for it I’d say that you’re really missing something here.
I never made that claim. I changed the wording of that post to make it crystal clear although it should already have been obvious. You were extrapolating beyond the meaning of my words.
I’m not moving the goalpost, but you keep changing the subject to fat and body builders. Different subjects have different arguments.
The reason super thin fashion models are banned remains the same, they cause an unhealthy ideal that is impossible for women in general to follow, causing some to develop eating disorders among other things.
This is in no way the case for fat models or sports models. You are definitely attempting to make your whataboutism stick, despite it’s 100% irrelevant and besides the point of why thin models are a problem.
Just because in your mind fat hypothetically could be the same doesn’t make it so. All research shows that very clearly. Fat models do not make people want to be fat.
I have a friend who is black, so don’t call ME a racist! /s
What a lame argument, you don’t know me, My ex was naturally very thin or “skinny”, except she wasn’t really, what she was, was hyper stressed, and at the age of 35 she had a stroke!
I also knew another girl who was anorexic, and she really struggled with it. Apart from that I’ve known many people men included that are very slim. Don’t pretend that a few thin people represent the majority of what this problem is about. My opinion is based on the research and the arguments that were the basis for regulating models in some countries, and frankly all countries should have that. That has nothing to do with shaming people who are unusually thin, because obviously you shouldn’t do that.
You still avoid answering exactly what makes “skinny worse than fat” because you have no objective measurement and just making shit up lol
I answered EXACTLY that several times.
