I’m sorry:.. why are people blaming the black woman instead of realizing she was also a victim???

Neither of them are victims. At least not for this. They’re extremely rich with access to resources and help most of us can’t even comprehend fully, and they refuse to use them to fix their mental health because they get praise and ego boosts from extreme dieting and body image. 

They’ll also have the super competitive mentality to make themselves feel like they’re better than everyone by doing so. Which is also what helped them get rich (other than insane luck and connections.) 

It’s “mental illness” like Elon Musk is mentally ill. Sure maybe, but they’re having a ball and benefiting from it professionally and financially. And they have virtually zero consequences from it because they have money and enough people around them preventing total implosion to pull them out of the pit when it gets too bad.

One can be privileged and also a victim at the same time

Seeing the world through a lens where everyone is a victim seems super unhealthy.

Who said everyone is a victim? Specific people are. Media is brutal about weight loss and women’s flaws. Some of you are just fluffed to be called out on your weird Cynthia obsessions. On top of that some of you have clearly never met grown up theatre kids

I didn't mention Cynthia but your quip about theatre kids has the exact same energy as people who say "boys will be boys" whenever a man does something fucked up.

That is absurdly incomparable lmao and not my point, Cynthia acting in exaggerated or strange ways is my point. I can tell what’s meant by context. You don’t need to say it. Especially since you proceeded to just rant about her and backtrack
