An internet stranger's opinion on your or anyone's appearance shouldn't matter :roll: she is a drawing, i'm sure she will get through this hurdle.
i find this statement both ridiculous and hilarious at the same time, the fact that we’re discussing the physical features of a drawing is not the point of the argument, the agreement stems around the generalization of the female body in a negative way that’s becoming socially acceptable. and again the fact that it’s a drawing means nothing because you and i both know these drawings are depictions of real life people. it’s also worth noting that you talk about how an internet strangers opinion shouldn't matter about your opinion, but that’s subjective is it not? a real life person or an internet person commenting on your look for some people makes them uncomfortable. yes there are some people who have that i don’t care what people think of me attitude but they will still get annoyed if someone is constantly commenting on their looks, because again this is a depiction of Serena Williams and she has been getting constant back lash for training her body to its optimum potential to achieve her goals. so why is it ridicule she receives for it? it may have been only two people who commented so far on PIMD but there is a swarm of people who think like them. now I’m a passionate person when it comes to controversial topics because no one seems to want to talk about the and shun them away and for what reason? i love talking about it and will continue knocking down social stigmas on my own time, even if i do not reach a large population. but anyways, i find it strange that as soon as we begin to talk about stigmas the responses are always ‘it’s just a game’ as if what you say about a drawing depicting an actual person isn’t what you would say to someone you see in person. if you can say it here you can say it there. anyways this is long but eh
