Or maybe some people legitimately were concerned for your health?
I know the motives of the judgy people who were a part of my life better than you do.
This kind of comment really should just never happen. In one sentence, you are casually dismissing conclusions about my own life that have taken me decades to arrive at.
Also, GP was pointing out the double standard when it comes to how anorexia and obesity are treated by society.
The article is about France, not the US. The observation that Americans are oversensitive about this could be deemed "off topic." The article lays out the completely valid reasons why France is concerned about a) excessive emphasis on thinness in its country and b) photos not simply lying to you about how people look.
Really, it is kind of BS to act like there is something wrong with requiring a two word label notifying you that the photo has been retouched. We are inundated daily with endless photos. Knowing which are legitimate representations of what actual people look like vs photo shopped fantasy bull seems like a completely valid desire for a long list of reasons.

- Mz 9y agoTaking decades to draw certain conclusions about my own life is not something I would describe as casual.
- oh_sigh 9y agoHow many decades of life do the people have under their belt that you're judging?
- tomhoward 9y agoMost likely very little of the kind that qualifies them to express such opinions. I've had experiences that are reminiscent of Michele's over the past 10+ years. I can tell you that neither your own comments, nor the comments others made to Michele that you're now trying to defend, are at all helpful, and in both cases can be quite damaging. Please show some humanity and give it a rest.
