As bad as social media is for body image issues, it’s often understated how hard things also were pre-social media. Coming of age in the 90s/00s, I would’ve had to walk through the store with my eyes closed if I wanted to avoid seeing abundant body judgment.
She’s right and she should say it! It was completely insane how she was treated
I will always appreciate her, because she was the first person I ever saw who represented my body type. I felt a similar way when I saw renaissance paintings for the first time. Like, “oh I’m not built bad, I just never see my body reflected back to me.” The early 2000s were so homogenous and white supremacist (white, thin, no curves, perfectly straight hair) in their beauty standards. Really upsetting that we’re heading back there.
