So, I am listed as female on my yahoo details (public
profiles allow not listing a binary gender, but registration did not), so it
gives me gendered ads based on that. So,
I see one of those fatphobic weightloss ads where a fat person shrinks into a
thin person on the side while I'm checking my email. As I watch it she
shrinks from fat to medium to thin to…organless. I did not manage to get a screengrab of the
beginning stage of the animation, but this was the end result:
Wasp waisted and organless, a literally impossible beauty
standard.
Of course, maybe I am wrong, given the history of unsafe
diet drugs, I suppose having all of your abdominal organs and some of your
bones melt and warp is conceivable…
I really hate the ads where people shrink :( They're maddening :\
