""Our brains must see evidence of body diversity. If we don't, our brains clock our bodies as wrong.""
""It absolutely feels like backtracking. It hurts my heart because of all the work that I personally poured in, as well as all my friends and my colleagues and people who came before me.""
""Real people's bodies aren't a trend. Bodies are now becoming a trend again.""
""We fought the system [with body positivity], and now we need to come back and do that again.""
The media is shifting back to promoting ultra-thinness, influenced by GLP-1s and celebrity weight loss. This regression is disheartening for advocates of body positivity, who feel their efforts are being undermined. The rise of trends like 'SkinnyTok' sends harmful messages about body image. Celebrities are also expressing concern over the return of damaging appearance norms. Additionally, the availability of weight loss drugs creates a divide between those who can afford them and those who cannot, complicating the body positivity movement further.
