Because I’m a bit fed up with some people acting all high and mighty. Whatever works for me, stranger. :|

I like the idea but these girls look like they have nearly the same body type outside of some slight visible ab definition on Fitspo and some slightly larger hips on curvespo. PUT SOME MUSCLE ON DAT GIRL AND HIPS ON DAT CHICK.

That’s just my drawing skills falling short, sorry. I was counting on everyone getting the message instead of obsessing on my anatomy work, which I admit really sucks in this photo.

You know what? I’m fucking sick of people picking on this girl. She’s an amazing artist, and people seem to be so picky and self-righteous when it comes to her posts. “Oh this girl is too skinny!” and “Oh you’ve drawn her wrong!” or “Change their body types!”. Seriously? Have you nothing better to do than to put down someone’s artwork? I think the message is far more important than random “faults” in the images. 

I’m really sorry, but “find inspiration where you can”? My criticism has absolutely nothing to do with the drawing but the concept behind it. Promoting the idea of thinspo as a legitimate source of inspiration and a legitimate way to go about discussing bodies and attitudes towards bodies? Really?

Thinspo is vile and a medium entrenched in and part and parcel of the pro-ana, pro-mia and other pro-eating-disorder mindset. How could something that encourages shame, self-loathing, and body-hate ever be considered legitimately inspirational? Not to mention the fact that thinspo glamorizes eating disorders and props up the fallacy that EDs are a lifestyle and not a dangerous and fatal mental disorder.

Does not inspiration denote something positive and warm and loving? That does not sound inspiring at all.

It needed to be bold.

For the bold comment!

Reblogging for the bold comment as well:

That kind of thinking is exactly why I made this picture. People think they have the right to dismiss thinspo as a bad and unhealthy source of inspiration just because it doesn’t work for them, or they prefer something else. This thinspo=eating disorder thinking is pretty ignorant, not to mention hurtful. I know a lot of people whose bodies definitely qualify as thinspo, and guess what? They’re not disordered. I believe it’s called a body type.

And yes, I think it’s a legitimate source of inspiration because some people do find inspiration in them. I’m fitspo all the way, but that doesn’t mean I can go about telling people that thinspo is wrong just because I’m not into it, or worse, because I’m narrow-minded and prejudiced about it. The problem here is that people are so quick to judge and generalize. Miranda Kerr qualifies as thinspo, so is it rational to assume she’s disordered? I think not. You can’t just say thin girls have eating disorders if you don’t even know half their story, the same way you can’t say heavy girls have bad health. The scale tips two ways.
