i don't mean model in the professional sense, i mean model as in "someone modeling different outfits" or "someone posing for a photoshoot". perhaps i could've used a better word, but i was running into the character limit. but still, my point remains that by putting their concept into a body positivity photoshoot, they aren't actually doing much for the concept by using just themselves as the subjects. why not get friends with different body types to pose with them, too? friends with bigger stomachs, friends who are taller or shorter, friends who don't have perfect skin, friends with glasses, friends with frizzy hair, friends with crooked noses, etc... i'm not here to criticize their message, which is a very good one. but their execution doesn't really do their idea justice, seeing as it isn't bringing anything new to the table. i'm not saying they shouldn't have done it, just that the way it is now isn't particularly article-worthy & that they could've done it a bit better if they wanted to actually prove their point, in my opinion.

"petty, cruel, & insecure"? "dragging others down to make me feel better about myself"? i "obviously have a lot of things to work through"? you're assuming a whole lot about me just because i expressed an opinion that you don't agree with. the comment section is for sharing opinions both positive & negative, & i offered constructive criticism about what i see as flaws in this particular photoshoot. don't agree? just scroll by. but for someone touting the phrase "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" you sure were happy to accuse me of being a "petty, cruel, & insecure" person who needs to "work through some things" before being allowed to share my opinion. as for the designer clothes thing, i wasn't suggesting they waste their money on overpriced trash. there are a lot of fashionable & highly affordable clothes in a variety of styles at walmart, target, thrift shops instead of whatever online shop they used (prob shein, ive seen these clothes on shein ads).

Exactly her entire comment just sounded hateful and it was totally unnecessary
