@SuperDicq @sun star trek always got weird about pretending injuries didn't exist but then also casually having neuroprosthetics but then not wanting to realize the implication of neuroprosthetics.
@icedquinn @SuperDicq I wouldn't think anyone would be bald either but they said that people just don't care if they bald. but like obesity causes huge health risks. they would eliminate it
@SuperDicq I'm talking about in start trek not reality
@hfaust I am sure someone has said this but she would not fit in a jeffries tube
@sun @SuperDicq i think the whole discourse of `morbid obesity is fine actually` is from beauty companies trying to salvage customers out of an obesity epidemic. apparently the actual history of body positivity traces back to birth marks and physical defects.
obesity is heavily metabolic dysregulation, though its conceivable that they might still have some plush people (because SOME body fat is actually within human norms even in ancient times)

@icedquinn @SuperDicq yeah it definitely is that
body positivity can also be "it's ok to have paunch" like there has historically been mistreatment of women who weren't rail-thin or met hollywood beaty standards.

@sun @SuperDicq the thing about wasp waists is because they are exotic and therefore desirable and disney was in the business of minmaxing attractiveness to sell product.
the actual "what if some of the anime girls are box shaped though like most women actually are" is fine but its
its not even that, there's some weird like "you VILL have ze ugly bitches!" force in media, and the artists were puzzled by it ten years ago.
where someone like me might go "okay, just let the skeletal and skin defects be real, people get crows eyes its normal" they're like, SPECIFICALLY pushing for undesirable characters.

There are 400 year old letters between guys in Germany complaining about the women in their town looking like horses and whar to do about it.
@SuperDicq @icedquinn @CapitalB there are differences in beauty standards from 1950s to today, trending way thinner, even unhealthily thin. that is what i am talking about
Yes rail thin women were never attractive historically.
@Dudebro @icedquinn @SuperDicq @CapitalB it is a thing that changes, some cultures and times prefer thick women
Yeah when they have 0 food and is a deviation from the norm. Eunuchs are also a thing that isnt normal but happens.
@Dudebro @icedquinn @SuperDicq @CapitalB anyway my issue was unattainable beauty standards not beauty standards. admittedly some people call what people looked like normally in the 1980's "unattainable" now but I don't count dumb opinions.
