Girl posts picture of herself on Facebook, creates uproar

She isn't even that fat. I'd say a bit overweight.

I don't really understand what's brave about this. I'd say she is above average in terms of attractiveness. If you were incredibly fat or disfigured or something and you posted a picture of yourself in a bikini it might be brave, but this is just a somewhat pretty girl whose comfortable with herself.

Despite how above average she is, she has still received a lot of people calling her fat and grotesque. Apparently people cheering her on is horrible, as not being perfectly skinny means you should be shamed. So, while -we- may feel this isn't that big of a deal, for many in the world who struggle with the stigma of not being small or pretty enough, this is something to rally around. It's more of the symbol and what people have made of it than what it simply is.

Mhm I guess I can understand that. I still kinda feel like they should find an uglier person to rally around though. Being called grotesque on the internet doesn't really mean that much, I've heard Megan Fox described that way online too.

but megan fox is grotesque

Yeah, those toe-thumbs are a dealbreaker.

Do they realize how back-handed a compliment this is?

I find her very pretty, actually.

No, actually she would be considered obese. Not morbidly obese, just obese. According to the BMI, anyway.

So brave, so selfless, a true role model for slightly plump bitches everywhere.

How I hate it when guys use insults as synonyms for the word girl or woman.

Most people use asshole, bastard and motherfucker for men. And bitch, cunt and whore for women. When was the last time you heard someone call some girl a bastard? Or a guy got called a whore?

Basically if you're a man, the insult is that you're of illegitimate birth, shit comes out of you and you engage in an incestuous relationship. For women the insult is that you're a vagina that is sexually promiscuous and procreates.


Anyways, don't know how an attractive lady posting pictures of her body is somehow brave just because it isn't Hollywood. Most aren't.

I hate society so much.

You didn't get my point at all.

I know right. I honestly don't know what else to add lol. Like, to me, it's a picture of a normal, pretty girl and I'm struggling to figure out why is even a thing...

Now this is a controversy I can get emotional over! Fuck actually talking about serious issues that matter like economics or civil rights, some slightly fat bitch has to either priased as either a hero or a villain for doing what fifty million other people do because fuck you and fuck the real issues.

But only because of all the plastic surgery... she was actually really pretty before.

NEWS.

Well aren't you the most fantastic of gentlemen.

If I were a guy I would probably be, yes.

She looks fine to me, I don't get this.

@Morrow: Eww, put a spoiler box around that, please.

Aww, come on. Don't hate on pretty women :P

Aw snap!

Wow. Slow news day, Sweden?

This reminds me, have you ever been on facebook and seen the pictures of 1940's attractive women and then super skinny attractive modern women and it has some caption like "real women have curves?"

Have you ever thought that is kind of harmful/ insulting to skinny girls?

@Morrow: I am the 1%, sorry I had to.

Some women can be sensitive.

You're so cool, can I be in your cool club for cool people?

I think you guys are missing the story. It's not that a girl posted a picture of herself in a bikini on the internet, it's that there were 60,000 internet people who weren't assholes about it. Sadly that does seem newsworthy, to me.

She's so brave she deserves a medal for bravery. There is a medal for bravery isn't there? If not then lets make a kickstarter to get the medal made for her.

@mandude said:

The fuck? The shit people care about astounds me.

So is this like a crappy Swedish version of the onion?

This story only has a happy ending because facebook doesn't have a "dislike" button.

60,000 people not being assholes is simultaneously very inspiring and very depressing. It is newsworthy (somewhat), but it most certainly shouldn't be.

@Brodehouse said:

@Morrow No, I got your point. I'm saying we use insults as a synonym for man or guy just as often.

I know, but that doesn't make it any better.

Your explanation is invalid to me as I was merely stating that I don't like the usage of such insults, or better, insults replacing the neutral words like girl or woman. No justification needed from your account.

If it's ok for guys to refer to themselves as motherfucker or whatever, fine, maybe that's part of the "male culture" or whatever you wanna call it. I'd still advise you to not transfer this behaviour over to the female culture as well. Unless you like to be slapped in the face :D

Unfortunately, this.

You're a dick. But I think you know that already.

Cute girl posts picture of herself in bikini: gets 60 000 likes and a news article

Girl posts a political and well-thought out post about the unfair state of the world: no one cares

The fact that this is regarded as newsworthy is what's wrong with this world.

Or perhaps it's what's right with it. I don't even know anymore.

You seem to get pretty upset over this.

No, I just like lively discussion ;)

In this thread, a girl brandishes her vulva as a weapon against a predominantly Male Internet and some people don't understand sarcasm.

Sports at 11!

I don't think I know who she is, but I can tell from the picture that she's statistically a bad person.

A women vagina can be a powerful weapon against guys.

Ouch.

I'm sorry you made bad experiences with pretty women. I feel for you and can empathize with your frustration. But building a wall around your heart won't let it heal.

Grow some balls.
