I feel bad for these women who just took a picture at lunch, and now are being body shamed.
Like, yeah, it's a meme. I know I'm a buzz kill and will get downvoted. But this still sucks.
Thank you. I almost typed out a similar comment, but deleted it.
Although this meme is just supposed to be "thing, bigger thing" maybe half the time I see it it's someone trying to say "thing, objectively better thing" and it just feels really gross. I hate most memes that are just stolen social media posts of people living their lives honestly.
I'm delighted that I am not alone in this take. :)
Higher inflation is definitely not objectively better so you can stop worrying about that interpretation.
I hear you. I just start to think about how expensive bras are at that size. They are expensive enough as it is and I am thankful I can stick to something comfy from TomboyX.
I really wish we didn't exploit people on the Internet quite so much. Do these girls even know or approve of their pictures being posted?
I was about to tear OP a hole for the same thing glad i am not alone and atleast a few lemmings share my view
Honestly really sad that some people seem to be more upset by you writing "body shamed" instead of "objectified" than they are about the objectification happening in the OP
How are they being body shamed? I don't see anybody saying one is better than the other. Some people like bigger boobs, some people like smaller boobs so there isn't a correct answer. I can see them being objectified sure, but I wouldn't call it body shaming.
Ye, objectified is probs what they meant.
How is this being objectified though? If one is a brunette and the other is blonde is an observation. It's not saying they are only an object. It's just a description of an attribute.
Pejoratives don't have to make sense. Don't take it personally.
Yup, honestly I debated on which word to use but objectified would've been best.
And most likely they have similar breast sizes, just the left girl is wearing wonder bra or some more padded bra. So false advertising and false shaming as well.
gtfo with that.
Her breasts are HERS. Not yours or anyone else viewing her. She is not advertising! She is wearing whatever clothes feel comfortable to her and at no point does that become something she should be attacked or over.
Comments like this are why I like Lemmy, y'all are good people.
It’s a good people thing to make problems where none exist?
How is this bodyshaming? Its just natural that some people have bigger breasts than other people. There are also meme formats where one of them is taller or something so is that also bodyshaming or what?
While I agree with the message of the meme, it does kinda suck to use real people's bodies as the representation
Shamed?
Yeah it does not feel right to push sexist beliefs onto people who just took a photo
And this is one of the less problematic memes of this template, there are way worse ones :(
What? No one here is body shaming. I mean maybe you are, but no one else is
How exactly am I body shaming? You can decide whichever one you personally find more attractive, we all can, but these are just two women with breasts at lunch. Probably posted it to Facebook/IG, and now there are people using a meme to compare their bodies, neither one of them is better or worse, but the meme is inviting us to judge, so they are both being body shamed for not having the others. Objectified would've been a clearer word choice, but we can use whatever word you feel fits best so long as we agree this concept is gross.
The meme is inviting us to see: BIG and LITTLE.
If that’s a basis of judgment for you, own it as your own thing instead of trying to put that on others.
The fact its on the internet probably means it was posted by them to show off.
Does it make it right, no. But they aren't blind and know what they have.
Or they just posted a lunch picture to their social media and somebody grabbed it and made a meme out of it. Your body doesn't determine what intention you have when you post pictures
Don't put a picture of yourself on social media. Also don't make fun of how a person looks. Everyone sucks as far as I can tell.
If you had lunch with a friend, took a picture, and posted it online, would it have been to "show off"? Ask yourself why you're making that assumption about the subjects of this photo.
Agreed, this is pretty gross.
