Is this the start of a new revolution of more wholesome models and thus, a change in mindset and trend that skinny is out of fashion, like literally? I think its a blessing. I have just lost a friend from anorexia (she eventually killed herself in the middle of treating her problem because she claimed she couldn't live with herself looking like this.. and yes, she was super skinny and was such a beautiful person). I myself is of an average size, not fat but not too thin and I've actually been dissed by super skinny girls that even though I'm attractive, I'm way too fat! And these are all girls who only has skin and bones btw.. I have a healthy self-esteem so I am not bothered at all but what I'm bothered is their mindset. Its truly troubling.

I'm conflicted about it, because some people are naturally thin, so this discriminates against them for something they cannot change. However, it is true that fashion has had a history of encouraging eating disorders. The best idea would be to have diversity in the field, to show that people can be naturally thin, average, and large.
