Facebook Group Photoshops Plus-Sized Women To ‘Inspire’ Them To Lose Weight
ADVERTISEMENT
Photoshop has become synonymous with “beautifying” photos that would otherwise have imperfections. In some cases, this is OK, and magazines and online media do some photo editing with a subject’s consent. Recently, however, a group going by the name of “Project Harpoon” (Facebook page presently shut down) has drawn criticism for photoshopping plus-size models to appear thinner. An offshoot of ThInnerBeauty, a website, and subreddit, the group aims to “inspire” its targets to lose weight.
“Here at ThInnerBeauty we provide people with visible, achievable healthy body goals,” says the page description on Reddit. “We do this by showing how much more beautiful they could look if they made the difficult, lifelong commitment to a regimen of personal fitness. This is a place where we can manipulate plus-size girls’ photos to highlight the difference between how they are and how they could be.”
The Reddit site appears to be slightly less prone to body shaming, as many of the photoshopped images are submitted by real users asking to be motivated.

F**k this. Look, I'm all for promoting a healthier lifestyle. But photo-shopping someone else's body without their consent is a d**k move. You aren't trying to "motivate" them to be healthier-- you are simply saying, we'd feel more comfortable with you if you looked like this. Further more, jesus effin christ, those photo-shopped images are so unrealistic-- NO woman alive is going to have that tiny waist and huge breast naturally-- especially not if they lose that much weight. Can we all just f**k off and stop telling other people what to do with their bodies?!
VanessadeJong-Kountul 9 years ago
Exactly! Why would these women care what those photo-shoppers think? If they like how they look, than that's fine. In Fact I think that's all that matters

In reality this is all about people Photoshopping girls from popular games. People took everyone's favorite female protagonists and made them "more realistic". Which was adding weight to them and make them look less "perfect". Then another group comes and does the opposite. Making larger women look thin. The people who originally edited the female game protagonists took offense to it even though they did the same thing. Just because one seems more or less exceptional doesn't mean they both aren't ridiculous. What happened to equality?

A VERY slow clap for you, lady. I know for personal experience you just CAN'T go from big bad and beautiful to waspy waist without surgery. Achievable health goals? My pluz-size A*S!

Damn straight, being healthy is awesome but there is no way some strangers can say to me how I SHOULD be. I'm no model but, hell. if someone tells me not to 'tickle' my tastebuds or that I'm looking unhealthy & fat, I'll kick their balls.
JorellDye 9 years ago
Yes photoshopping people without their consent is not good. They were probably looking for examples to use to get started until they had a couple examples to use by the permission of their clientele. It was a risky move to use these models and it backfired. However there is nothing wrong with doing this by request, especially if for a few women, this would be a motivator.

f**k this? :D the problem of our generation is obesity unfortunately Why is there no fat people in third world countries and amongst the poorest of up simple because there are no fast food chains and obviousley not enough money to spend for food unfortunately... they should be doing that more often so those "plus size" models get helthier and put down the hamburger and the phone #selfies :X:X:X.........
LaurenElizabeth 9 years ago
This is ridiculous. A lot of these girls aren't even big. You are just body shaming for the hell of it. They are all gorgeous even if they are over-weight, but that is their decision. You don't even know if they are exercising or eating a healthy diet now.. I hate when people assume things. Tess holiday goes to the gym contrary to popular belief. Stop "fat shaming" and fix whatever is going wrong in your life that urges you to judge someone else and try to hurt them.

You keep using that word "decision"... Do you realize that most overweight people, if they had the option to be skinny, they'd chose it in a hart beat. For most overweight people, it's not so much a choice, as it is a "curse". They lack the discipline and the motivation to actually do something about it, however, they most likely dream of being skinny. So no, I don't believe that there's anything wrong in motivating overweight people to lose weight. On the other hand, I do believe that it's morally wrong to tell people that they should stay the way they are, if it's clearly unhealthy. I'm not American, and I'm convinced that one of the reasons for the growing obesity rate in the US, is because it has become a standard, which isn't the case in the rest of the world. What's considered "normal" in the US, is considered fat/overweight in Europe. If you want to get rid of obesity, stop lowering your health standards, and don't tell overweight/obese people that they're beautiful.

BelindaLockhart 9 years ago
You are in fact correct to the point that most of the time it is not by choose that someone is fat but it does not always mean that is because they lack the discipline or motivation to loose weight alot of people have health conditions that keep them from loosing weight no matter how much they diet or workout. And one persons view of what is beautiful is not the same as everyones i for one seem to see heavy women to most of the time be more beautiful because they dont act like stuck up witches and think that their all that and a bag of chips cause they are skinny
LeannaArcturus 9 years ago
Exactly David. "The Reddit site appears to be slightly less aggressive in its aims, as many of the photoshopped images are submitted by real users asking to be motivated." Some of these people are actually ASKING to be photoshopped. No one would ever CHOOSE to be overweight, obese, or unhealthy. Biologically we are attracted to fit, healthy people for good reason. We function better in a normal weighted body for good reason. Some of those women were morbidly obese, and while I'm not shaming them, there is without a doubt the fact of how UNHEALTHY and detrimental carrying weight like that is. Saying they're beautiful people is one thing, but to say their weight is OK is dangerously neglectful.

@David Helberg Im a big woman and I f*****g love and I mean LOVE my body. I am never cold in the winter, I eat what I want when I want it. I am 5' 7" and 242lbs of beautiful curvy sexiness. My husband loves my body my family loves my body. When people hug me it's like hugging a pillow so they hold me tight. I don't "dream of being skinny" my big beautiful body is not a "curse" it's a blessing it's the way God made me. I know it's a f*****g concept that you as a "Non-American" has a hard time wrapping your tiny little brain around. BTW being a foreigner to the USA isn't an automatic pass giving you the right to talk s**t about us Americans. It just makes you an a*****e that spouts to much s**t out of it. But then again it's pretty easy for the little man to spout all his s**t when he hides behind a blank profile, no picture and a keyboard.

Dude it's not a standard of course your not an american other wise you'd know that your just basing your opinoun off of some tv of something you heard infact yoour whole opinion is poor because you have no real evidence have you been to america???? if you've been to hollywood you'd know that the standard there is being underweight like size 0 or people will call you fat even when your not. Next time try to not base your opinions off things that aren't facts. People like you are the reason why I think we should just stop foreign aid totally and completely. If a country invades England or France or whatever or well we should just sit back and let the haters burn.

Yes, they are all big. They may be gorgeous, but their bodies are not. It's not healthy to weigh so much, biologically it is wrong to have so much fat, and not a single person looks better obese than not obese. This is not fat shaming. This is trying to convince fat (not big, fat) people to lose weight for the sake of their own health. If you take your damn fat dog or cat to the vet, 9 out of 10 times the vet will say "hey, your pet is too fat, if he doesn't lose weight, there will be health risks". SO WHY THE F**K IS IT WRONG TO SAY THIS TO PEOPLE?
ShariShanari 9 years ago
Because people are independent, autonomous human beings and you have NO STANDING to say it to another person. It's arrogant and obnoxious and those people live in their bodies, do you REALLY think they don't know their size? It's. Not. Your. Business. no matter how much you want it to be, no matter how much you want to control women, no matter how you couch it in fake concern.
justinmiles 9 years ago
Damjan, I disagree. You are neither an owner of these people nor their pesonal physician. We're talking about people not animals. People with feeling, struggles,...transformation should always start in person's head and the body will follow ( given the weight gain is not due medical condition which should be treated differently) and should come as independent decision. Not because somebody bullied them. You don't know any of these women and you are not allowed to judge them. Besides look at Lena Dunham. She seems to be in a healthy range of BMI (not that BMI is a great indicator of health). And yes the after pic is not realistic at all. What anyone of us can do is to mind our own business for I am sure no one of us is flawless or doing their absolute best to contribute to society or themselves.

Mostly because it's no one else's business and there are better things for us to worry about than someone else's waistline. Also, we're human beings. Not cats.

You talk as if it's a choice to be obese. And some of these women have beautiful curvy bodies by the way. Don't tell me it's a choice...Dr. Phil....it's called the yo-yo diet effect. Every time we lose weight we gain it back plus more. If our parents fattened us up as little children then we have more fat cells develop then a child who was not having food shoved in their face every time they cried. Because of political correctness the only people you can make fun of or put down are overweight people. And you Damjam are insulting and trying shaming us no matter the fact that you say you are not! THAT'S WHAT'S F*****G WRONG WITH IT!

I'm a med student and YOU ARE RIGHT! Being fat is A HUGE risk. Most people coming at the hospital are fat ( like 90%) and the problem they have come for comes from obesity! Of course ... if there was a health issue making them obese, that's ok. You can get help. But if one eats like a pig and only from fast-foods and s**t like that, not caring if they might have problems, DON'T COME COMPLAINING to your doctor that you have problems. It's your f*****g fault. Watch your FAULT!!!!!

All the extra weight all the extra blood pressure all the extra wear on the back, hips and leg joints, the human body was not created to carry all this extra weight, if you were at work had a normal body and were carrying a bag on your back with all this extra weight in it you would probably get suspended and a letter from the health & safety committee.

But if one eats like a pig and only from fast-foods and s**t like that, not caring if they might have problems, DON'T COME COMPLAINING to your doctor that you have problems. It's your f*****g fault. Watch your FAULT!!!!!

All the extra weight all the extra blood pressure all the extra wear on the back, hips and leg joints, the human body was not created to carry all this extra weight, if you were at work had a normal body and were carrying a bag on your back with all this extra weight in it you would probably get suspended and a letter from the health & safety committee.

Please look at the above pics of Clementine Desseaux or Viktoria Manas and let me know - sincerely - if these ladies are in any way overweight by your standards.

Some of these women look better "now", not "after". Someone had a very bad idea.

@joshua mcdonald: Hope you have the pride to face your daughter one day when she's struggling with her own body image issues....ALL women go through it, and it's obvious she will have to lean more on her mother for rearing and support and not from some a*****e like you.

I believe you're completely misunderstanding what @HildeMarstrander was trying to say. What I believe @HildeMarstrander was trying to say is that the women looked better in the before photos (before being photoshopped) compared to the way they looked after they were photoshopped.
