I don’t quite understand this. You willingly put your body out there on display, using your body to promote your product and your cookbook, so, does that make you immune to criticism?
Kristin Cavallari, 32, is being body-shamed on social media after sharing photos this week from a beachy promo shoot for her jewelry brand Uncommon James. The images depict a scantily clad Cavallari teasing a topless swim look on Mexico’s Pacific coast, near Puerto Vallarta, and looking easy-breezy in her blue bikini on a yacht. But some social media watchdogs claim the designer and mom of three is just “too skinny.†“When eating ‘healthy’ makes you look sick, maybe it’s time to eat a little unhealthy,†wrote one critical fan. “A grown woman with the body of a 10-year-old boy is not normal and it never will be. Just think, the camera adds 10 pounds, so in person she must really look like she’s on her death bed.†“Tooo thin … go eat a burger, or a real full meal!!†said another.
One woman said:
*“I am so tired of grown women thinking the comment section is an appropriate place to body shame and disrespect other women,†one supporter clapped back. *
Huh? The celeb posted the pictures to (a) promote her products, (b) promote herself, and (c) get reactions. She is using her scantily-clad body to do so.
When someone says - you are looking too thin and unhealthy, is that really body shaming?
When I am trying to sell you on my diet and my cookbook, but, I look terrible (either too thin or too heavy) is it really inappropriate to comment?
I just do not understand this mentality where people want to post their “sexy” image all over the interwebs for their own self-promotion or even just self-gratification, then get bent all out of shape when there are negative comments.
Looks ok to me. That surely is a healthy shape and size.
There was another one this week where they had a go at Eilish McColgan a middle distance runner in the UK. Of course she’s thin - she’s got a runner’s build. This is normal folks.
I disagree with the fatties normalising carrying 30Ib of lard around on their arses and complaining at everyone else because they can’t get off their couch and go to the gym.
She’s not anorexic and doesn’t look unhealthy, people need to relax…
Peak outage culture
Well, I agree. But, that’s not the point of the thread.
Especially when you are a celeb - when you blast your sexy photos all over the interwebs, and enable comments, aren’t you seeking comments? Is it really “body shaming” when someone says she looks too thin and needs a sammich?
I don’t understand why people feel the need to publicly criticize anybody’s look, whatever it is.
FIFY
When I post a picture of my adorable puppy on the interwebs, I expect to get comments about how cute she is. Sure, some may say she is ugly, but, they are doo-doo-heads. Bottom line - I’m posting to get affirmation from strangers that my puppy is cute.
When windywave posts dick-pics on the interwebs, he expects to get comments. Sure, his penis is small and ugly, but, some may say it is pretty, but, they are doo-doo-heads. Bottom line - windy is posting to get affirmation from strangers that his penis is small.
When celebs post nearly nekkid pics on the interwebs, they expect to get comments about how hot they are. Bottom line - they are posting to get affirmation from strangers that they are hot.

That’s the main thing of all of social media type endeavors: attention. Whether it’s likes, retweets, or comments, all people want is to be noticed and get that dopamine kick. People don’t expect criticism, and when it happens they don’t know how to handle it.
And no, if you’re not anorexic (which is really obvious to tell and unhealthy), then calling someone too skinny is not body shaming. But the parallel doesn’t follow in this outage culture, if you’re not morbidly obese (which is really obvious to tell and unhealthy), then calling someone too fat IS body shaming.
I just don’t say anything to anyone. Holy shit I’ll call a girl pretty/good looking/etc and get ridiculed like you wouldn’t believe

So … you are kinda asking for it, are you not?
See how cute she is:
Ok, first off, she is cute as hell. Second, I know why people post the stuff but I don’t understand the mentality of feeling you have to comment. If you like it fine, if you don’t, fine. Kind of like, how in the hell do people watch the Kardashians?
It would be completely different if someone posted and asked the question, then I’d comment. Otherwise, who gives a shit.

I think kinda asking for the positive, only a masochist would want to hear the negative. Just be nice, it’s not that hard.

Which is worse, people who comment on celebrity social media or people who comment about commenters on celebrity social media or people who comment about the commenters commenting on commenters on celebrity social media. I think the first.
