Yes, but you're not allowed to say that to them.

They are victimized by the fact that models are attractive, and that is "unrealistic," so they've been getting plus sized models etc.

The "extreme beauty standards" are basically just "healthy BMI."

Anorexia is overrepresented in both male and female models.

To get that "ripped" look so many "fit" guys have, they often have to be dehydrated.

Actresses wear full faces of makeup even in apocalyptic scenarios.

It goes way beyond "just don't be fat".

    It does, but the remedy they choose is not "women don't wear makeup," it's "we use fat women, and they wear more makeup than skinny women."

      Including plus-size models doesn't fix the problem, but it's also not bad to have models show fat people "this is what our clothes could look like on your body". That's a logical choice under capitalism if you want fat people to buy your clothes.

        There isn't a problem with what's shown on TV.

        The problem is inside some people's heads, and diets.

        I'm not talking about models for clothes, anyway.

          Right, you're talking about beauty standards in general, which we've already established go way beyond "just don't be fat".
