    I’d agree if you were arguing about banning all unhealthy behaviours in ads.

    I’m for that.

    I don’t think fat people need to be brought into it in this case though, this law is about the fashion industry encouraging eating disorders.

    Per the paper I linked a few replies back, it’s completely relevant and urgent to bring fat people into this, because there is real harm in the messaging they receive, and it’s having even greater real-world consequences (due to the greater number of people impacted).

    The fashion industry does need to be addressed. But I also think that people forget that fashion models also victims. The whole thing is awful.
