Rant skinny bashing wtf
So I post a beautiful editorial to discuss composition in my fan page A guy comments: "Well, if I would see a girl in real life with such legs, I wouldn't find her sexy - I would pity her for whatever consumptioning sickness she suffers.  " I call him on it and I'm accused of "bullying my fans/subscribers" Arregghhhhhhhhhh There, I feel a bit better Jul 19 14 05:54 am Link Natalia_Taffarel wrote: If you can dish it out, then you should be able to take it. Don't take a swing unless you're prepared to get hit back. Jul 19 14 06:07 am Link 'consumption' - 'consumptioning' I haven't heard that word in ages!  .Jul 19 14 06:07 am Link I have no problem with him liking more voluptuous women. To each their own. After all we need fans too  but your "fan page", is not the appropriate forum for these opinions. Shame on him! If he wants to right about it on a different board that's his prerogative. But there's a time and place for everything and sounds like he chose the wrong place imoJul 19 14 06:24 am Link lynne g wrote: Where is the right place to say: "pity her for whatever consumptioning sickness she suffers. " Jul 19 14 06:41 am Link Taking shots at thin is one of the newer peanut gallery past times. It's almost as if we have created a culture of people who feel it's their right to be perpetually offended. The kicker is they have to be told what to be offended by, For the most part they haven't got the sense to come up with something on there own. FWIW, It's beautiful work Natalia. Jul 19 14 06:42 am Link Jul 19 14 07:02 am Link I love them all. Each model has some unique quality they bring. Some are thicker and some are thinner. I am not sure what average is or looks like. Jul 19 14 07:08 am Link I really dislike the skinny-bashing trend, especially since many of the people who are criticized are often really not that skinny, often height/weight proportionate or close to and not suffering from anorexia. I think a big part of the problem at least in the U.S. is that with over 2/3 of the population being overweight, obese or morbidly obese, we've lost all sense of what height/weight proportionate is, often referring to people who are actually height/weight proportionate as skinny. I've had people call me skinny, in well meaning way, even though I'm at least 20 lbs overweight. It's so skewed. Not only is this not fair to those who are skinny or height/weight proportionate, but it's a bad message to be sending at a time when obesity is becoming a leading health care problem. We should holding up, healthy, skinny people as something to be emulated, not ridiculed. Jul 19 14 07:20 am Link The way I look at it people do make fun. Of short people of people with less hair, of people because they speak differently. I would agree the illness part would bug me. Only because I don't joke about health. You never know what someone has or their brother has or they suffered threw. Not a joke. But people rant on the internet. I don't fight it, not because I agree, but because I agree with my right to express my opinion. With that right I must allow people who have opinions I think are abhorrent to voice theirs. It's a us first amendment thing. I hate racism for instance, but if I want the right to fight out against it, I have to allow some guy to say what he feels for it, even if I think his thoughts are awful. Jul 19 14 07:50 am Link There's always a heckler in the audience. The trick is to make them look bad, with elegance. The guy is trying to be politically correct. Unfortunately for him he doesn't realize that the pc pendulum is swinging back. Jul 19 14 08:13 am Link I thought it was a really cool debate and wanted to see some discussion on it,.. till i read the commets. Hostility, negativity, i find them so draining. I probably would've deleted the comment because it takes too much energy to continually deal with idiots and assholes. Fuck em, you did well. Jul 19 14 08:14 am Link Welcome to a world where a women's body is everyone's business, and not being someone's particular choice of wank material gives them the right to slag off your appearance at best, at worst attack your health, your personality and a million other irrelevant factors.

He ruined that for me. Jul 19 14 08:33 am Link Where is it? I want to check it out. Send me a PM. Jul 19 14 08:35 am Link So many prejudice options, so little time. I prefer the word "slender", it's a beautiful word for the slender beautiful people.

Jul 19 14 09:45 am Link Update: At least he is consistent. He seems to think is also totally ok to go through life telling people off for how they look. Brilliant!  Jul 19 14 09:53 am Link Wow, dude's a complete and utter asshat... Jul 19 14 10:03 am Link I think that seeing the image would put this in more context:  Not one to Terry Richardson's better images of that period. While the language the guy used was not nice at all he does have a point that the model is really skinny and does not look naturally slender.

Really like this shot. Sophisticated, silly and fun. Jul 19 14 10:10 am Link Here is a portrait/vertical version of the image. http://styleinfashion24.info/wp-content … dson-7.jpg It would be nice to discuss composition.... . Edit: i'm really slow posting today, keep getting logged out. Jul 19 14 10:12 am Link However I must say that discussion about composition being done on an image that is online and not cropped as published is the sort of thing that is annoying.

If anyone doesn't want to read that kind of thing, they can delete him or not bother visiting his page. Putting stuff like that on someone else's wall/page, especially when that's not what they're talking about, is out of line.

My legs are like hers. Haters wanna hate. Yes, I know my legs are thin, Genetics.Jul 19 14 11:30 am Link Update: Jul 19 14 12:48 pm Link Oh holy fuck where do I start... Apparently it's totally acceptable for people to make such snarky comments as "woah I bet I could snap her in half" or "eat a cheeseburger, nobody wants to root a 10 year old boy", but if one of us skinny folk were to tell a fat chick to cut down on the pies we'd be horrible, insensitive bitches.
