Let's be honest, the average person does not have the best body according to beauty standards. They may not have a flat stomach. They may not be as tall as most peope find "attractive". Infact, in many ways the average person is the complete opposite of what we see in the media. However, we all are guilty of expecting someone who fits the "standard". And when someone who likes us for who we are, we expect them to be fitting our high standards. (I'm not telling people to just settle but still).
The truth hurts, my goal is to make people realise this.
Would you date someone who has an average body. (please don't associate this with "fat". There is more to a body than the weight. It could be a skin disease, or different type of hair)

Picture source: Kevinbolk on Deviantart Not sure the pic is gonna fit so: On the picture there is a bunch of conventionally attractive women with different body types, who push ugly people (men, poc, old people, very fat people) out of the highlighted frame where they're standing, the frame says: "everybody is beautiful". The ugly people are outside of the frame, standing in the dark (excluded) from the "everybody is beautiful" group. I feel like the body positivity movement is made for conventionally attractive people who are insecure with their flaws to hype each other up. You'll see tons of chubby women with a beautiful face, smooth skin and good body shape, skinny women and athletic women who are completely gorgeous, supermodels with Vilitigo, women who have stretch marks or scars on a hot body, girls with acne on a doll face, whatever cute girl who usulally don't put makeup on with a cute makeover... And for poc, if they're not East-Asian (because Asian fever trend) they better be gorgeous to be included, same for disabled people. You won't see actual ugly people, who could benefit from positivity a lot too. Nobody stops them from joining the movement right? But to me it feels like participants and and people who support the movement don't want to deal with helpless ugliness, minorities, ill people... They want to tap a like on a pretty picture, they don't want to be confronted to actual negativity and give some support. This is how I see it. What do you think? I'm not trying to put a guilty sticker on all the participants of body positivity movements, just trying to point out what I feel that's wrong with it. Also I'm not a writer don't be too harsh pls thanks.
