RE: The Unfortunate Case of Eugenia Cooney
It is a really interesting topic for sure and I don't think they should kick her off YouTube and you pose a really good question about how it would be the same as kicking fat people off YouTube for being unhealthy.
The body image situation keeps changing all the time and people's ideas are so skewed about it because a lot of Instagram models are photoshopped and they are oftentimes on performance enhancing drugs. Then all the magazines are so photoshopped it looks like a picture of a CG doll face. Honestly people are sort of sick of seeing it but they keep doing it.
Recently there was a photoshoot with Brittany Spears and they photoshopped her face so much it doesn't look like her and people were calling it out. She is really pretty and has a great body so there is no need to make her look like a plastic doll.
Umm. I'm not sure if I agree with the general mindset among a lot of people that Photoshopping women in magazines, etc. is such a bad thing. I understand the sentiment, but still.
By now, people should be aware of the fact that everything they see on social media, TV, magazine covers, what have you, is fake.
And a lot of people like fake.
I think it's up to the individual to realize that they're not looking at anything real, and therefore to not compare themselves to something that's clearly heavily photoshopped.
Also, when it comes to modeling and stuff, the models are never supposed to be "themselves" in photoshoots; a photoshoot is supposed to create a character and a story that aren't real. If models were to be themselves and look like themselves in photoshoots, they would lose the entire point.
That's not to say I don't realize what you're going for because I do.
Brian has a valid point just like what i was saying you can't just kick her off youtube for promoting an unhealthy lifestyle when we got tons of morbidly obese with ticking time bomb clogged arteries all over youtube. They will need kicked off too then
