Fine if they also ban ads for people being unhealthily fat, but for some reason that is promoted as ‘body positive’?
And yet you could have a morbidly obese model and it would be celebrated.
If there’s a healthy look then it needs to go both ways.
Anyone over 100kg should be banned for modelling as well then, unless they have a body-fat ratio less than 17%
Wonder what her BMI is because it wasn’t mentioned in the article. She looks tallish, say she’s 5’10’ so a weight over about 9.25stone is healthy.
I would actually like to see my body type represented. Just an average weight, not under and not over. That would be nice for a change. And someone short, for the love of God.
I’ve seen a lot of unhealthily fat models in ads, definite double standard here.
Wow I didnt know they started doing that. There have been models who worked right up to their death from anorexia.
Obese female model is empowering
Obese male model fat and gross
Skinny models unhealthy.
Most likely an overweight HR nanny that made this decision. Why do we allow fats into society?
1) Thin people exist, and;
2) They have absolutely no basis whatsoever to have made the judgement that she is ‘unhealthy’ or that any such health issues in fact relate to her size/weight.
I actually don’t think this model looks unhealthily thin at all. There’s plenty of very thin & unhealthy models out there but this one it seems her natural frame?
The article says it is more about the pose making her look even thinner than she is. Which was considered irresponsible. It also says Next faced a similar censure for a similar issue.
It’s a weird camera angle but IDK how you can say it’s promoting the thinness of her legs when she’s wearing slacks lol.
She’s only unhealthily thin if she’s unhealthy, and there’s nothing in the article to suggest that she is. Isn’t this just detrimental to other similarly thin people, telling them that their bodies shouldn’t be catered to?
Yet I bet her blood results would come back perfect vs a “plus size” model who will likely have high cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin resistance, fatty liver etc. Reminder that over 60% of adults in England are classified as overweight or obese, so where does the true problem lie?
Healthy at every size (except if you’re thin then its bad)
The model in the ad doesn’t look ‘unhealthily thin’ to me, she’s slim yeah but I wouldn’t say she looks ‘unhealthy’.
Yep it’s ridiculous, that’s just her body size, a lot of people are naturally underweight. And let’s face it, i doubt anyone is going to see this ad and think I want to be that skinny, because it’s an unusual look and pose. I think it’s a bit discriminatory, what happened to ‘ celebrating all bodies’ or is that just for overweight people.
This is amazingly disgusting body shaming.
“The ASA also said the model’s head appeared out of proportion with the rest of her body which further highlighted her small frame.”
This is a piggish comment about a persons physical appearance. It appears the Advertising Standards Authority is not fit for purpose.
Oh, so a morbidly obese person is body positivity, but a thin skinny person is unhealthy?
Fucking double standards.
