There's a difference between being morbidly obese and a bit overweight. Being skinny does not guarantee that you're fit and healthy. I love my woman with a bit of meat on their bone. Although I have no problem with skinny woman either. If they're healthy and feel good in their skin. Go for it girl. I'm not the one to decide how you want to be.
One of my friend used to be quite fat, but he was fit. He was just eating way too ****** much lol. While one of my other friend was super skinny. I mean at some point I though his skin color turned green. He was weaker than my grandma.
I'm not talking about morbidly obese people who have trouble just walking around. That just sad. I mean at which point you're like - **** I need to stop or i'm going to burst. But after watching vlogger like Boogie I'm starting to understand why some people may become that fat. It's often depression. But boogie get a free pass from everyone because he's an internet celebrity. Ordinary people still get bullied, harassed and rejected.
it would be so much easier if everyone was the same has you and had the same personality has you and the same willpower. But it not. The world is not that simple and people aren't a list of trait that you can write down on a page and say - YES THAT IT IT'S HIM.
That's a nice point of view and all, but not exactly relevant to the point, nor is it the point the organization who did the photoshopping made.
With the exception of the pre-reboot Lara Croft who simply didn't have an anatomically correct body structure (not talking about the 150% bustsize, mind you), none of the shown characters were abnormal. They aren't unrealistic body models that would drive women into unhealthy eating disorders to achieve some sort of beauty ideal like Barby dolls or some such. Those are perfectly healthy female bodies. And they're women who in their respective contexts SHOULD be fit, let alone rigurously trained in some cases. And using Cortana as an example is downright idiotic, because as an entity without a physical body (aside from a hardware chip or however the AI physically exists), her appearance is purely based on what she (or without meta-thinking, the artists) wants to appear like. As such if she wanted to appear sexy (as no one should kid him-/herself, Cortana as a character is subject to sexualization over the Halo franchise's history), it would be based on an ideal (which may or may not actually have to conform with human physiology on that matter!), not any physical approximation of an ideal. And as such, looking like she does is 100% natural given the situation. So whoever did pick the characters didn't go along with his/her work by picking ones who may promote an exaggerated/unrealistic ideal which may lead to people developing eating disorders to achieve some such, they purely just picked characters known throughout gaming that were sexy and photoshopped them into overweight version, then stated those are normal. Or in reverse, saying the original versions aren't normal.
Likewise, being a bit chubby, whilst not unhealthy unless you're positively obese, is not a physiological ideal. And I dare say a good chunk of those photoshops aren't just a little on the well-fed side, but rather look like someone's been eating too much AND not getting enough workout, which undeniably IS unhealthy when it develops into a living habit in the long run.
But the worst point of it is the apparent normalization. The ideal of a fit body isn't there because some pervert people think it's the most sexy thing, a fit body is the physiological ideal because it's healthy. And with increasing deviation, be that whichever direction, health issues will likewise increase. Sure enough, there's some wriggleroom before things actually get unhealthy from a purely physiological standpoint (albeit as I had already said, if the lifestyle that lead to said developement persists, things will inevitably become unhealthy!).
Being slightly overweight may be normal from a strictly statistical point of view (then again, statistical bias are in effect because the national average in the US shows that nearly 70% of adults are overwight or approaching obese and around 30% adults being obese), but it SHOULDN'T be normal.
