It's No Body Shaming People..........Unless It Is A Skinny Person

FOR REALL

i saw a comment on akp news about rose's body and i was like pls shut up

Quote from bartkun

question is where is the line?

I think line is very thin between being concerned about someone / bodyshaming that person

you can tell, skinny shaming is when people are saying "oh that's unhealthy and its setting a bad example"

Quote from bartkun

ok but let's use Somi as example

she lost weight and needed to get IV's

because her body couldn't manage promotions

in this case I will say damn that's unhealthy, and it's also a bad example for kids

because during that time when this happened Knetz posted on forums praising her body, and face, etc...

yet for me I would say fvck that, I'm concerned because it's unhealthy when you need to go to hospital when your 'schedule' is basically to perform one song choreo in music tv show... and re-runs happen when you are the one making mistakes, not the cameraman.

no but see that's it, the difference is some idols are just like that. calling that unhealthy and bad is skinny-shaming because what's healthy and what's not entirely depends on how you were born.

And no, this isn't just a problem in the kpop industry.

People love to preach how you shouldn't body shame someone and then go on call people who are skinny "unhealthy" "skeletons" etc.

Some of you don't realize how harmful this is. There are skinny girls that see these comments and think there is something wrong with their body.

And stop using the "they are promoting unhealthy beauty standards excuse" when a someone skinny posts a pic. Because if it was the beauty standard, you wouldn't be calling them skeletons and unhealthy in the first place.

I personally used to be really skinny and experienced these kind of comments. I started eating a lot and gained a lot of weight. And now people(my relatives) are saying I am too fat(I am average weight btw). We can never win can we?

I find it disgusting that this still goes on. I will use Rose's recent instagram post as an example. She posted a pic of herself, fully covered in clothing and people are calling her body unhealthy, calling her a skeleton, and saying she is promoting unhealthy standards when you can't even properly see her body. By the way, she has always been skinny and we all know she is foodse.

Point is, if you are going to preach about body shaming, then stop body shaming skinny people. Being skinny is a natural body type too.

Thank you for listening to my tedtalk.

Also I don't know if I posted a thread like this already.

Rose, her weight really hasn't changed since its debut era. She never promotes unhealthy habits, and from all the bp content it seems like she enjoys eating portions of good food.

also idols do so much more exercise than us...so clearly they will burn a lot of calories.

Rose is also always energetic on stage, never looks tired/malnourished.

so I think people just are projecting their insecurities onto her.

She has never shown any issues with food. And even if she did, pointing it out and commenting you look like a skeleton is the WORST way to deal with an ED.

I think it is hard yet easy line to identify.

If they are saying things like "they look like a skeleton" "promoting unhealthy beauty standards". Or perhaps "they are fat" etc I think it is pretty obvious what their intention is.

I think being concerned is not writing things like "she is way too skinny" or "they look too fat" emphasing on the skinny or fat part is when it gets wrong and offending the person.

spot on. I think it's nobody's business to comment on others' bodies...espcially since its harmful most of the time.
