Size 0 Or Nothing: 22 Heartbreaking Examples Of Iconic Women Being Labeled ‘Fat’ By ‘00s Media (New Pics)
Picking up a newspaper or magazine from just twenty years ago can be nearly as shocking as taking one from the 1960s. The 60s were longer ago, but it’s clear and obvious, the language, the photos, the products are so clearly old. The 2000s are a whole different story, so similar to our present day, but when you sit down to read what's there, you’ll quickly be hit with a slew of ideas that are downright unacceptable in the present day.
One Twitter thread went viral recently when a netizen pointed out some examples of ‘00s media promoting and brainwashing people into accepting the most unhealthy and unrealistic beauty standards. Other readers joined in, sharing all the other examples they could think of.
More info: Twitter
The ‘00's tabloids and media had horribly unrealistic expectations for women’s bodies

While some might look at these examples and only conclude that things were a bit absurd in the past, the unfortunate truth of beauty standards is that they tend to have long-lasting effects on multiple generations of women. Simply put, there is a direct correlation between the combinations of words and images that these tabloids used and how women and girls feel about themselves right now.
A recent study by Dove found that just 4% of all surveyed women would describe themselves as beautiful. In 2004, pretty close to the time period that most of these tweets are referring to, the number was as low as 2%. This is an abysmally low number, but a direct indicator of just how toxic these standards can be.

They Called Alicia Silverstone “Fatgirl”
Holly Stevens 1 year ago
That was a horrible scandal. She put on some weight and they had to refit the costume so someone in the art department made a "fat girl' poster of her that was leaked. All the tabloids reported she was too fat to fit her costume and most of her role was cut out of the movie
The same research also discovered that 72% of women, primarily young girls, stated that they feel “tremendous pressure to be beautiful,” no doubt a result of being shown individuals who can afford absurd diets and personal trainers, all the while being told that this is what a woman has to live up to. It’s not hard to imagine the psychological difficulties that come from constantly feeling like you aren’t good enough.

The omnipresence of these standards in media have been around long enough to become basically internalized, as 54% of women surveyed globally answered in the affirmative to the statement that “they are their own worst beauty critic.” Despite the plethora of information and knowledge about how the body works and what a natural body looks like, the barrage of certain words and images from the tabloids has irreversibly caused self-esteem issues in a lot of women.

The nasty truth is that women never really could catch a break when it comes to what society perceived as beautiful. When we see films set in the 19th century or art depicting people at that time, the women tend to wear massive dresses, all while constricted in unbelievably tight whalebone corsets. Researchers studying the corpses, or at this point skeletons, of women from that time period have discovered the detrimental effects of this fashion trend, including spinal misalignment and deformed ribs.

Before the Victorians were making women suffocate just to attend a social event, the Chinese were binding girls' feet to get a specific look and shape. The process, which would take agonizing, long years, would yield feet that did fit some particular beauty standards, although it’s unlikely that any modern viewer would find anything appealing in the process. It’s shocking that girls went through literal years of pain for what amounted to a fashion trend.

These foot wrappings are, unfortunately, the perfect example of how ridiculous beauty standards can be at times. There are no evolutionary reasons for this preference, just a combination of powerful cultural forces and the ability of others to dictate to women what they should look like. For those curious, the perfect bound foot would be 10 centimeters or 4 inches. This is not a typo, yes, that small.
Now, humans aren’t the only creatures that do strange things in the name of desirability, for example, the Parotia bird does a long and elaborate dance routine to impress a mate, although how this dance translates to getting food is unclear. Evolutionary selection has also helped breed crabs with oversized claws that only exist to impress mates. However, using these examples for humans is ridiculous for a number of reasons. Firstly, we are considerably more intelligent than a crab and shouldn't be taking social cues from them.

Secondly, our “standards” of desirability are genuinely harmful and unhealthy. Remember, most Parotia birds can actually do the dance, as it doesn’t pose a risk to their health. Trying to not be “fat” by tabloid standards has made millions of women miserable and caused countless eating disorders from nonsensical diets.
This is why Twitter threads like this are important, as it’s vital to show the younger generation that just because a flashy magazine publishes something, doesn’t mean it’s real, true or worthwhile. Happiness is not really found in the validation of strangers. And it’s not worth destroying your health and mental state over an arbitrary standard that will shift in a few years anyway.

I remember that exact photo of Jessica Simpson down to the blonde curls and leopard print waist belt but in my mind she's much, much bigger. I was a scrawny 16/17 yo and thought "I have to make sure I never get that big". I look at the photo now and she looks beautiful. It just goes to show the negative affects the media can have on you - especially as a youngster.

I think it also goes to show how society as a whole, in the West, has gotten bigger. If we look at graphs of average weight of people, in the UK people have gained about 7 kgs in 25 years. That's average, so half have gained more than that. larger people are a familiar sight, so we are looking through eyes that see people differently. The celebrities pictured here are "normal", within the average weight range. But the norm for celebrities was, and is, to be slightly thinner than average. The preference for unhealthy skinny models was terrible, but now our acceptance of unhealthy weight is also harmful. (My 130kgs best friend died this week at 51, so I'm in health mode.)

Every other TV show that I watch has actresses in it that look like they live on a lettuce leaf per day. And most of these actresses, A-listers or not, starve themselves in order to get hired at all. If that is the standard you judge people by, then anyone who is not underweight is automatically a whale.

There's a reason why half the girls in my high school had an eating disorder in the 90's. Thats not hyperbole that's actually how it was. So many girls went to treatment and most girls were calorie concious or eating low fat. The beauty standard was very skinny with no butt. I'm so grateful to those who blazed a trail to make fuller bodies more acceptable and then those who pushed even farther for body acceptance in general. I still had leftover 90's-early 2000's body ideals for myself into my 30's.

Amen. I'm from the same generation and I remember the ultra skinny craze of the 2000s, with Paris Hilton, Keira Knightley, Mischa Barton, the Olsen twins. I was rather average and felt like an obese because I could not wear the size zero and 2 at Abercrombie when in the U.S on holidays. Good thing for me was that smallest available sizes in France are actually bigger than in the US so I got to understand I was not that 'fat', and I mostly listened to rnb where women weren't ultra skinny at all.

It's crazy that women with flat stomachs and pant sizes in the single digits would be thought of as fat. I'm 40 so I definitely grew up around all this and always struggled with my body image. I'm a lot more confident now but I still struggle a little, even though I've been working out for over 20 years and I'm really healthy and in shape. Now they do body positivity but way off the deep end showing a model who is an XXXL. So it's tiny XS women or XXXL and that's inclusive? Why can't they just show an average sized Medium (like many in the photos above) for goodness sakes? Why?

More the late 1990s, but I remember thinking I was "chubby" as a teenager. I knew it. My peers knew it. My mum kept telling me I shouldn't wear this or that because I was chubby and had "backne".

I am "plus size" to the media, yet by medical standards, am in great shape (weight, muscle, etc.) per my own GP. Per my media-skewed brain? I am fat. Per my late dad? Fat. Fat fat fat. We're meant to be addict-scrawny *and* healthy (you can't do it, btw, I know this as a medical doctor), but if you're not a certain shape (male or female)? You get shamed. It's insane. That I escaped anorexia baffles me and my shrink alike. I am over 50, I weight about 70kg (154 lbs for the non-metric) and 1.78m tall (70 inches for the non-metric). I can lift fifty pounds and carry it up stairs. Yet I am "fat". Sidenote: Still wear same jeans size I had 20 years ago by measurements, but they changed the numbers on the sizing. ARGH. I went from an 8 to a 14 to a 10 without changing body size!

Yes, yes they did. It sounds like you were very young then and probably didn't notice. As someone about the same age as many of these celebrities, but much larger I definitely remember. Paparazzi photos and celebrity gossip were being amplified by the internet and "heroine chic" was the fashion ideal. It all made for a very toxic fat shaming environment to be a young woman.

The so-called "ideal" woman changes frequently, from the lush bodies Rubens painted to the boyish figures of 1920s flappers, from the impossible cone boobs of the 1940s to the bottom-heavy Kardashian thing. No single woman can have all those different bodies, therefore the standards are unrealistic and we should all ignore them. Do what's best for your health.
