@Lali1right? There are some people who look underfed and weak, there are people who have leather hides for skin and all kinds of scars, cellulite, hair and moles. Yet here we sit, wrapped in a coverup, afraid of our rolls, waiting to finally have the stars align so we can diet and exercise to reach an impossible standard. In the end we've missed out on the pleasure of sun and sea on our bodies.
FYI, there is no dearth of comments around here regarding what some think is an "underfed and weak" looking person. In fact, it seems to be just fine for some to ridicule thin women. @HaileyB
I have never seen that on these boards.
@NYCLatinaMe , I assure you that Suzyq3 is correct about the comments regarding thin women on this board. I started posting here nearly 13/years ago and heard "anorexic, skin and bones, popsicle stick, stick figure and various other endearments. Being very slender myself, I guess they stung so I remember them...
@Trinity11 I am so sorry you were stung for being too thin. As I have written on this thread, I don't care for hateful messages about the shape of women, whatever shape they are.
I was just speaking for myself, responding to @suzyQ3 that I read these boards and I have never seen thin women being ridiculed.
The only comments I have read regarding extreme thinness are concerns expressed about Celine Dion's health because of her extreme weight LOSS. She was not being ridiculed in what I read. The posts were about her fashions. The pictures posted showed her weight LOSS. Posters wrote that Celine Dion said she was happy and healthy.
I have not seen any criticism of thin models or other thin people not popularly known regarding how thin they are.
It might be because it's not on your radar, @NYCLatinaMe, I've heard all the examples given by @Trinity and more.
I remember the "popsicle" remark. I responded to it, and the poster made no attempt to even understand my dismay.
I think that it's fair game around here. Thankfully, I do see blowback when a poster makes rude remarks about women of more size.
In real life, I recall two "friends" of mine making fun of me with lame remarks. There was no way I would have ever said such things to anyone who was very heavy, as was one of these women.
Do people think that because you might be very thin that you wouldn't be offended at insults?
