A fragile girl with strength in her eyes.
Beautiful photo.

Fatass -- don't be jealous. She's just stretching to the side, which, on people of thin and normal weights, can cause the ribs to show. And her ribs are barely showing. Jesus. Don't be a dick.

Uh, okay, that's definitely uncalled for. You don't have to go around calling people names. There's no one commenting here being as nasty as you are. Cool it.

And saying some needs a sandwich, in other words, is anorexic isn't uncalled for?

Not nearly as uncalled for as insulting someone out of nowhere.

I think, calling someone anorexic is an insult too. Who knows if the model is reading the comments? I hope she doesn't.
A dear friend of mine is much skinnier than this model and gets asked all the time if she doesn't eat anything or if she's anorexic. She is not. She's eating totally normal (I know that because we were living in the same flat for some time), but she is simply very skinny. The doctors didn't find a reason, so probably, she's totally healthy. The only thing making her sad and angry is that so many people argue, that she is anorexic - without knowing ANYTHING.

There's only one person here calling the model anorexic, and it isn't the person we were replying to.

Oh, you're right, sorry. I mixed the comments up.
But to say that someone needs a sandwich implicates that she doesn't eat enough, which means the same as anorexic.

seeimg the ribs is kind of scarey, what are you trying to portray in the picture?

If you have a problem with it, keep it to yourself. Seriously, completely uncalled for.

i didn't have a problem with it i was seriously asking out of curiosity. i couldn't tell if it was a beauty shot or a message against something, totally to different things. i didn't realize i had worded the question badly

The word "scarey" is clearly a negative word, so I think the skinny guy had a valid point rather than being beaten up by your fat friend Aeqis. I don't think she is necessarily anorexic, I think she just looks slim.

It was just curiosity on the artists portrait. I was wondering if it was deliberate, like the photos that people take to highlight freckles, but more for like skin texture if that makes sense? or was the artist trying to give a vulnerable vibe? Making the question so short and simple just seemed to have given off a negative connotation. People use models with certain features to create certain moods, like vogue using models with very prominent cheek bones to create shadow or eyes that are a little farther apart then usual. The camera loves oddity's. I was 17 when i first asked the question and was still unaware of how to phrase things certain ways to not come off bad on the internet when any thing can be taken as an insult

What you've said is untrue, because you prefaced the question by saying it was "scary". Since you want to pretend you have problems with English, give me an example of any other sentence saying something is scary, that is not deliberately negative. It wasn't "short and simple" it was overtly negative and abrupt. "scary" is negative full stop. The abrupt follow up question sounded like an accusation.Β
The response your little friend "Aques" or whoever he was, was thug-like. A guy had expressed a concern of fairness and sensitivity, and in response he got shouted down and beaten the shit out of.Β I agree with you that a kid who is underweight is a serious concern, but unless the photographer is the parent, I am not sure dietary supervision is really the photographer's fault.
It is unfair and inaccurate to say "anything can be taken as an insult". It implies you did nothing wrong, and the guy who complained is at fault. As a bystander here is what I saw.... an insult can be taken as an insult on the internet. Perhaps I am an idiot? yep maybe. But an idiot with a degree in Linguistics and who is a professional English teacher, so reading English is not something I have problems with.
I am at fault also. I shouldn't have commented because I didn't look at the date when this happened. So, sorry. You see that, saying you stuffed up and having base level humility is neither difficult nor costly

I agree with you, nothing came out as it should have. I can't help the Aques person involved himself and attacked the other commentator. I did not want to get involved in his/her argument so did not comment towards, though hindsight it might have helped clear things up. I don't have problems with English, though after seeing some of the typos in my comments years ago make me question why I did not proof read. I am sorry if the question back then offended, I definitely did not mean to and actually quite liked the photo. I can understand now how those words were not good in context.

She wasn't insulting the picture, just asking a question. No need to jump down her throat. The girl in the picture does look as if she could gain a little weight, though I think it may just be the angle.

It was an insult. As someone who is naturally very thin, it's very easy to see through these 'questions' to see the insult. It's the same as me looking at a portrait of a girl who is 15 lbs overweight and saying, well, gosh, she has a fat roll at this angle, and that scares me. What exactly are you trying to portray here? Is that appropriate? No. It's not a crime to be skinny. Some angles and poses, do cause people to show their ribs.
π: 0 β©: 1
It wasn't meant as an insult, so there's no reason to attack her. Just because it could be taken as an insult doesn't mean she was out to bash on the artist or his picture. If she had said, "wow, this is so ugly, that girl is way too skinny. this is awful", that would have been an insult.
And it's not a crime to be skinny, but there's cause for concern if the person is too underweight. Not only is it unhealthy for the underweight person, but people viewing it might hold it up as a standard for how skinny a person should be versus what's actually healthy. Though it's probably just the angle in this particular picture.

Just like there is a concern for someone to be overweight. And there are MUCH more overweight people than fat people. What if I say, 'you are too fat and a bad role model for these young children. It's wrong for them to think that's okay.'
That wouldn't be taken too kindly. But looking at someone, such as myself, who is 5'7" and 105 lbs, I am a BAD role model. Bad bad bad. But someone of the same height and 300 lbs is just fine. Why? Because that's what real women look like.
If you have a problem with skinny people, fine. Just keep it to yourself. Just like I wont tell fat people to lose weight. It's not okay. These double standards are ridiculous.

No one said skinny people were bad. I don't have a problem with skinny people. But people are concerned for their health and worried, and it's very dangerous to be that underweight. There's a difference between skinny and skin-and-bones.
