I’ve wanted to draw this thing since forever… And now it’s done. With MS PAINT. It’s so stupid and I love it.

I saw this and was like…no way…this cant be real…this has got to be a photoshop crap post… But holy shit this is real Cosmo has since deleted this tweet, but not before major news outlets picked this up and countless twitter users screen captured it. I have NO IDEA what the PR person behind this tweet was thinking. Like…have we as a society become so shit that a woman can be dying or sick, but at least she is skinny, amiright? I have a friend who is chonically ill and goes through weight fluxuations, and whenever she starts becoming skinny again (an indication of a downswing in her health), she will complain about the fatigue and aches…and some co-worker of hers will reply with “But at least you look good.” It’s salt on an open wound. It’s not the compliment you think it is. Reminds me of how people, both men and women alike, piled on Angelina Jolie for eliminating her risk of breast cancer (she carried a gene that put her at greater risk) by surgically removing her breasts. better to be more appealing to cishet men than dead??? Runway models are so underweight and unhealthy looking, pressured to be unnaturally underweight and a size 2 is considered “too fat”…but hey at least they are skinny…Skinnier the better no matter what, right? Like…what??? Cosmo has not as of the date of this post made a public comment. There could be just a tone deaf “I wasnt thinking whoopsie” story behind this. But still…that possible behind the scenes story doesnt erase the crazy, dangerous message sent by that tweet and corresponding in depth article.  If anything…we have really warped ideas of what beauty “should” be….really warped ideas on body weight
