I can't wait for the big butt fashion to be over.

[fallacy]

I'm more 'straight up and down', and slightly apple when carrying a few extra pounds, so the current trend for bottom-heavy hourglass figures is totally unobtainable for me.

I'll be glad when it's over, selfishly!

I'll also be glad to see the back of the massive lips with tiny pointy chins.

Aibu to expect the trend to die soon?

I totally understand the weight-height ratio being healthy and attractive but to aspire to having an unnatural for many hip to waist ratio is the problem

*"Does MN ever get sick of complaining about big lips?

If you don’t like it then don’t get them done"*

I think anything which becomes a trend like this, putting pressure on DDs to want to accentuate their lips, is a bad thing.

People underestimate the sheer prevalence of this stuff, the way celebrities can beam themselves into a teenager's mind.

Kylie Jenner is a paper billionaire. A billi! Over 150 million people a day view her content. And her lips aren't as God intended.

I do not, I really do not, want my DDs to be sitting there looking at people who have humanly impossible features, and go "I am inadequate and do not shine with the popularity they do." That really bothers me.

Find something more interesting to talk about! There's plenty going on at the moment, you don't need to talk about trash TV.

EXACTLY

@NoBaggyPants Why are you here when you could be typing about something else.

I'm able to have a few different subjects going on in my head at once. Can't you?

Ffs it’s not body appropriation I have this figure 100% naturally and I’m white British. It’s not a shape that is found only in black people! It makes me angry when people say that and I have been accused of having implants to “try and look black” 🤔

People of all races come in all shapes and sizes. And all of those should be celebrated, not used as another way for women to be against each other.

GinDaddy it’s your job to teach your own child this.

If Kylie Jenner or any other person wants to get her lips done then they can.

But Red, you can agree that big butts/ small waist figures are less common in Europeans. Hence loads of Europeans getting surgery etc

I have many. But I'm not the one obsessing over trash TV.

The only conversation I've had about Love Island is with stepchildren, and that was calming their anxieties that they don't look like someone who has had thousands of pounds of invasive surgery.

If you have kids, and you're letting them watch this crap without talking about the harm it does, you are part of the problem. It's not conversation fodder, it's harmful.

Well of course, but no one can deny the influence of others. Also, why does KJ want massive stupid lips. Why??

I'm not obsessing. Stop making you're own mind up about what I'm thinking.

I do have a child, but he doesn't watch any tv apart from peppa pig.

"Loads" of people aren't having bottom implants. You're choosing to look at a narrow group and assuming that to be the norm. It's not.

"GinDaddy it’s your job to teach your own child this."

Why thank you for that, one tries one's best.

But your simplistic view fails to acknowledge how people arrive at the decision to go and do their lips once they're "of age" to make that decision.

I support anyone's feminism that says women have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies.

I have issues however with the all pervasive trend, being alteration. And that my daughters may grow up seeing thousands of altered, unusual shapes and think "this perhaps is a beauty aesthetic to aspire to, although my dad says I should be myself and not worry".

My short point is, for years we had women of all shapes and sizes; now we're creating extraordinary aesthetics that didn't exist before.

Is this to be celebrated? Perhaps, in the sense of empowerment and choice.

But come on...how many people can realistically afford all these alterations? How much could this feed into existing dysmorphias? I'm not buying it.

I think it's crazy to allow yourself to be bothered about what is in fashion when it comes to a body shape. Fashion should be fun, not something that you have to either be sliced open, operated on and/or injected with shit for or have to kill yourself at the gym every day to try to achieve. Who the fuck gets to decide what a woman's shape should be anyway. I'll tell you who, fucking me when it comes to mine, that's who!

@GinDaddy I couldn't agree more!!

We're facing unnatural and unobtainable standards that we've never had to face before.

People are getting their jaws infilled for gods sake. And because it's relatively cheap, more people are getting it, therefore more people will feel the need to 'keep up' with their peers.

I actually feel the pressure to balance out my slightly smaller top lip. Something I've never ever even noticed before. I used to have confidence in my figure but now I feel like I have a small bum and a think waist. Ridiculous. All I see everywhere is bum implants. Perhaps I need to bin Instagram

You're obsessing.

There's so much more going on in the world. Scrap your social media and start new accounts, and think about what you're adding. Take all the trash away and you'll feel an awful lot happier than you do now.

All I add is cute pictures of my son.

You've judged me as something I'm not. Perhaps you should think about that.

@fallacy

"lso, why does KJ want massive stupid lips. Why??"

Good question and I really do feel its' for two reasons:

1. Cartoonish personalities and beauty, sells. KJ looks extraordinary, and that pumped up aesthetic is making money, so why not make it permanent?

2. The original reason I think KJ wanted it, is all part of that African-American aesthetic I mentioned that Kim K chased in the beginning, and which KJ now follows. I'm sure I'll get roasted for saying this by a whole load of race warriors (despite being AfroCaribbean myself) but if you look at the specific body parts and look they try and go for..... it just saddens me because real Black women have been overlooked by mainstream fashion for years, I can't even finish this sentence because it's all so ridiculous and weird.

YANBU. I'm sick of being made to feel unattractive, unhealthy unfeminine and frankly like a freak for being an apple with very little difference between my waist and hips...even typing that I'm expecting to be told I am those things, I've been tempted to ask my GP about it and to investigate if I'm intersex 😭 I can't help being born like this and I eat very healthily I've always been like this. Some twat on here told me to be emaciated everywhere else to get a flat stomach. Thanks, I already hate my body.

Or if you don't want to start again, for each trash star you've got on there, add an inspirational figure. Michelle Obama, Greta Thunberg, Hillary Clinton. Populate your time line with healthy, positive measures, not fake figures trying to sell you crap.

Well when white people decide this 'trend' is over I will still have my big ass and lips so I guess I'll just be unfashionable.

Bum phase is fine, I don't have a good bum but I don't care.
The lips now they are horrific most young girls look like they got punched in the face.
My own niece has big sausage pumped up lips, injected with crap, she looks ridiculous along with her ridiculous big lip pals.

And here we go, DFOD shear

You're assuming that I don't already do that Baggy. Can you see how you've judged and misjudged me?

@EmeraldShamrock and what does 'good bum' mean to you. This is my point
