A plus-size actor has opened up about the relentless online trolling they endure, while a self-proclaimed 'body positive' influencer receives praise for embracing her size 6 frame. The glaring disparity has sparked a heated debate about society's hypocritical beauty standards.
The Harsh Reality of Online Bullying
The actor, who prefers to remain anonymous, shared screenshots of cruel comments targeting their weight. 'You'll never get cast in anything but comedy roles,' one troll wrote, while another sneered, 'Lose some weight if you want to be taken seriously.'
Influencer's Controversial Post
Meanwhile, a popular influencer posted a bikini photo captioned, 'Learning to love my size 6 body!' The post garnered thousands of supportive comments praising her 'bravery' and 'realness.'
Experts Weigh In
Body image specialists note this double standard is pervasive. 'We celebrate thin women for embracing bodies that already fit societal ideals, while larger individuals face constant scrutiny,' explained Dr. Sarah Thompson, a psychologist specialising in eating disorders.
The controversy has reignited discussions about performative body positivity and whether the movement truly includes people of all sizes.
