Is that a sex doll or a creepy wax sculpture?

    Doesn't even look real. The shape of her face and her hand and even her leg look more like a barbie than an actual human. It's gotta be fake.

    But feel free to continue arguing that these unrealistic body standards/proportions are totally real and fine and not harmful in any way.

    This picture is so old it could be a Photoshop but it almost definitely predates AI

    Doesn't change the fact that those are not natural human contours. If it's a real photo, that person has had heavy plastic surgery done and is also probably anorexic.

    I don't think it's weird to question the realness of the photo, although the particular words the original commenter used are more questionable. But phrasing it as "just a girl being happy" is missing the point.

    If she's had work done, then so what? What is it about critiquing women's bodies that is so compelling? If her being "just a girl being happy" is missing the point, then what is the point? "This woman's body doesn't look the way I think it should"? Just gonna add that to the pile of body-policing comments that she's no doubt heard a million times before.

    Damn, people really like to rug-pull and bait-and-switch.

    For all the times I hear about "unrealistic beauty standards in the film and advertising industry," and now all of a sudden you want to suggest that I'm being sexist for calling out an obviously fake picture of supposedly a "woman" with grotesque proportions?

    If it's AI and she looks like a barbie, I'm not body shaming anyone. Hell, even if it's someone who has had heavy plastic surgery done, critiquing their uncanny valley look isn't body shaming, cause it's not a woman's body if it's just silicon attached to a woman's body.

    And honestly, the cosmetic surgery industry preys on women's insecurities, telling them they're not good enough and that they need treatments to meet unrealistic standards (which don't even look good, by the way). So shit like that absolutely should not be normalized by society, and you're not liberating women by saying we should tolerate it.

    For instance, there's nothing sexist about shaming mar-a-lago face. I'll shame RFK jr.'s leathery face and the orange menace's makeup too, so don't pretend I'm only applying this argument to women.

    As for the anorexia, if this woman is real and she really looks like that, she needs help. Maybe someone pointing out that she looks anorexic will be the push she needs to go to rehab and get better. But coddling her by saying "No girl, you look great, it's totally healthy to have the proportions of a barbie doll. Keep it up!" Is far more harmful than saying "This shit doesn't even look real."

    Maybe breaking the illusion if unrealistic beauty standards isn't supposed to be comfortable? But I don't see why that means I should pretend that it's actually totally okay and normal and healthy.

    I don’t know why you are being downvoted, there is definitely some uncanny valley shit going on in this picture. But I can’t tell if it’s just super low resolution or if it’s a fake human.

    As a rule of thumb: If you see a person doing a completely non-sexual thing and your first words are "is that a sex doll", those words say much more about yourself than you think.

    Or it says absolutely nothing because the internet is a weird place and I have definitely seen weirder shit.

    It very much does lol. You say the picture is 'uncanny valley' enough for anyone to immediately think of her as a sex doll. But as soon as someone finds that conclusion weird, suddenly you've 'seen weirder shit'? What was your point again? Here's the original video btw

    The original comment said creepy wax sculpture too, I think you are reading way too much much into an internet comment and now for some reason you are projecting about finding conclusions weird.
