Anorexics and people with bad body images would still exist even without fashion magazines or even if fashion/modeling magazines had more reasonable models.

This is not a reason to avoid encouraging the fashion industry to change.

The real problem is that after living with my fiancee for 2 and a half years I have watched enough E and Bravo to comfortably say that the fashion industry is populated almost uniformly by the worst people alive* and thus actually expecting them to play ball on anything that would affect not even their bottom line but force them to reflect on their self-worth and collective value to society even one whit is doomed to crushing failure.

i liked the idea of at least having to put in a disclaimer if you, for example, photoshopped your model's hips down until they were smaller than her head.

I dunno about uncanny - it seems to be the only culture other than some fringe paramilitary and debutante groups that acknowledges its own gross inhumanity and actively celebrates it.  The more mean, vitriolic and critical the designer or model is, the more they are respected FOR being mean, vitriolic and critical.

High Fashion is really nothing more than the monastic pursuit of impossible perfection.  There's something almost Zen-like and respectable about it, even if the results are utterly horrifying to those outside the cult.  I can understand the appeal of treating one's body this way - I don't think it's good, obviously, but I can understand it.

It also means that, no matter how scandalized we may be by this whole CG passing off thing, the fashionistas probably view it as desecration of a goddam idol, a trivialization of everything they'e fucking LIVED for.  So let's take our amateur indignation aside and watch some very thin people get into a slapfight.  :popcorn:

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

To be fair, they seem to be okay with it when it's not happening here.

No, the one that was the child rapist wasn't the one who was shot. The shootee may be the only completely normal person in the house.
