Sarah Nicole Landry has become a professional victim and she wants the world to know about it. I haven’t read the article yet but I’m going to assume it’s a woe is me story and how she’s going a great service for women everywhere by ‘showing up’ I’ll let you know if I’m right!

    I was gonna go read it because I really do read a lot and love to stay informed, and then I realized that is in sports illustrated who also hosted the event, so like… The call is coming from inside the house;). Credibility is everything, So, although multiple media outlets will feature or post articles and attribute the writing to sports illustrated, the fact that it’s out on sports, illustrated, firstly lessens the impact of whatever is said. Even people who are snorkelers are not criticizing her body, because it literally just looks like a normal body of a 40-year-old! Like that’s it and there’s nothing wrong with that. People here are noticing how different photos that she posts look compared to things that are posted by other people who are not using multiple filters. Now I have not read the article, so maybe if I do, I’ll discover that somewhere along the lines it says something like “multiple trolls were asking her why she looks so different in photos taken by other people than the edited photos and videos she presents” but my well educated guess is that she’s upset that people who follow sports illustrated said she wasn’t up to their standard. Once again this is an extremely problematic, (at least historically problematic) publication that sexualizes people, and still looks for “pretty faces” on average or proportionally curvy plus sized bodies when they do feature them.

    The most “conventionally beautiful” woman of recent time that you haven’t heard much from in a very long time (Angelina Jolie) , because she a humanitarian who literally devotes her life to important causes. She could’ve just rode the beauty thing forever but she didn’t. There are also average looking people with “pretty” faces working for humanitarian organizations, losing followers for speaking up about Sudan, Gaza, DRC. News articles and journalists from warring countries are being shadow banned. There are so many other important things to worry about than what people think about your body. Like literally, she was sponsored put up in expensive hotels given free food given free wardrobe given the glamour treatment (over and over again) and yet that’s not good enough?

    So now we’ve seen SNL featured on a magazine for drastically losing weight, convincing people that she did it in a healthy way, NOW then we’re in the “I look like everybody so should be featured everywhere” era. So next we will either see “ I’m becoming plus sized, and I should be featured everywhere” era or we will see the reversion back to being “healthy skinny” that “deserves to be on every cover.”
