Wtf at Miss Alabama? I promise I'll let it go eventually, and I know I'm probably not being the nicest about it.

But how did the judges come to that conclusion?

I'm not saying anything about her personality tbf, as I know nothing about her really.

But imo there's two things wrong with her win, and if the Media see these particular viewpoints as being a "vile troll" then I'll gladly join that group, because these are my two issues.

1. It's a competition essentially where beauty is a huge component of the contest, being severely overweight in my view (and I think that a fair few people do agree with me on this) isn't really a beautiful look.

And just to clarify, I am not talking about being slightly chubby, or even being slightly bigger than chubby, she is really unhealthy looking which then brings me to my second point. Which is also the bigger issue.

2. It's not a good look that the Showbiz world keeps promoting being severely overweight as a beauty standard.

Severe eating disorders shouldn't be being celebrated really by anyone imo, but especially by the Showbiz world, and it's clearly visible for everyone to see that the person in question has an eating disorder, it's beyond sick imo to encourage it.

They do it with both extremes of skin & bone and obese .. it’s quite bizarre given both are extremely unhealthy/dangerous .


I’d rather they went back to the old way of celebrating perfect bodies .. though I bet that view is regarded as negative

I'll freely admit that I have a bit of a negative thing about anorexia.

Honestly no hatred towards anyone suffering with it (as I know that it's a Mental Health issue,) but for some reason I actually struggle to look at anyone with severe Anorexia, so to anyone that thinks that I'm a horrible fat shamer, I'm an even worse person to deal with Anorexic people.

Again like with being slightly chubby, I can understand these competitions being accepting of slightly underweight (as tbf, it can be hard for a lot of people to get the "perfect" weight.)

What some people need to accept, is that extreme weight gains or losses isn't attractive, I already feel sorry for these people because they've got a Mental Health issue either way, and I feel for them even more when some people are encouraging their Mental Health problems.

I'm over this topic, like how LT is on anything LGBT related, I know that I'm coming across badly for what I'm saying, to some people on here, but I can't lie and pretend that being 30 stone overweight is okay/beautiful.

Neither of us are fat/thin shaming though …

It’s ridiculous for the media to promote both as positive role models imho

Personally I do agree with you.

But because tbf there are douchebags out there that do love to just be vile about people with weight issues in general, it does get some people's backs up when anyone has legitimate concerns about someone's (in this particular case) severe weight gain.
