[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s a gorgeous young woman but I can see her bones jutting out of her chest and she looks evacuated. It’s really sad to see! [/quote]

I disagree.  She's average looking at best,  horse-like face nepo baby with a normal, healthy looking body. You Americans are all so big that you have a distorted view of what a normal weight looks like. Also she skipped the breast / butt implants, which was a very smart move. [/quote]

NP. She has acknowledged struggling with anorexia in the past. But you do you and enjoy your 800-calorie-a-day diet. [/quote]

DP, but being underweight is as bad as being overweight and I don't see people complaining about fat actors being a "bad role model".  You only have concerns when it's a thin woman. Which suggests jealousy. Being thin is hot, get over it. [/quote]

More women die from eating disorders than any other mental illness. [/quote]

Still dwarfed by the #1 cause of death-- heart disease-- caused by obesity, high blood pressure etc. Objectively, we have a way higher prevalence of dangerously out of shape women than anorexic women. [/quote]

Please research how great anorexia is for your heart if you’re going to pretend to be concerned about heart disease…[/quote]

Both are terrible for you.  You should neither be anorexic nor obese. But by the numbers, obesity is much more contagious than anorexia. Yet we pretend obesity is hot and thin people (not even anorexic) are the sick ones. It's some kind of bizarre psyop. [/quote]

Most people are saying both anorexia and obesity are bad. Nobody is saying a healthy thin person is actually unhealthy, not sure where you’re getting that.

Can we stick to the topic (Lily Collins) without whataboutisms about obesity, humble brags about being naturally skinny (and before you start, I’m skinny too) or complaints that Lizzo is part of some bizarre psy-op about obesity being healthy after all, as opposed to, you know, part of the body positivity movement for people who have difficulty losing the weight.

So we’re talking about Lily Collins. Who was heavier in the past, has suffered from anorexia in the past, and it’s a lifelong disease. And she’s super skinny in season 4. True, none of us sit at the table with her every day. But there is some consensus here that she’s under-eating again. What do you guys think about THIS?

The premise of this thread is that she's too thin. It's literally in the title. Why is it okay to pick apart the body of thin person (and all the health issues that may come along with being too slight), but at the same time, we would never be allowed to have such a thread debating whether Lizzo is too overweight.

Your argument is that the body positivity movement is to show kindness toward women who've needed to lose weight. So where's the kindness toward this actress that has struggled with anorexia? Do you really think threads like this are showing kindness?

Everything is a study in contrast. We can't talk about whether this lady is too thin unless we establish what kind of weight is socially acceptable. And I'm just over here noticing that everyone is supposed to find Lizzo acceptable but not Lily Collins. And I'm challenging that. I think she looks fine and her weight is not relevant to my enjoyment of the show. I'm here for the energy and fashion and not to declare that the lead doesn't have the right body for the role.
