Seriously problematic.
Women, especially, are taught that the best thing we can be is attractive, and that thinness equals attractive.
But while I understand how these videos have come to be, and why they are so popular – because of society’s focus on weight, we too have a focus on weight – they are incredibly damaging.– this unfair and limiting beauty standard that has metaphorically imprisoned women for so long.
But it shouldn’t even be about how she looks – and that’s something that need to underpin this entire discussion. While it’s important we break down the myths about thinness and fatness and the beauty standards first – because if we don’t talk about them and dismantle them, they won’t just… cease to exist, unfortunately – the goal is to not talk about appearance at all.
So that Barbie, who is a very talented actor, can simply do her job without millions of people taking to social media to discuss the differences in her body from EIGHT YEARS AGO… Even writing that, I’m struck by how ridiculous it is.
