#because a lotof time thats just a scary weight ot be!

Lots of weight talk here, so watch out

I know this happens in other spheres but being in kpop fandom and watching people normalize extreme skinniness as like... athleticism or whatever WHILE simultaneously complaining about companies forcing diets and fans being too critical of idols is sooooooo much.

And like I do keep it to myself when I think an idol looks gaunt and unwell because commenting on other people's health is largely unnecessary but sometimes I do want to point it out just because I'll see people go "Wow, they look SO good and confident right now!" meanwhile they're a day away from being put on medical leave. And in some cases ARE put on medical leave.

It's even weirder because people will be soo passive aggressive about an idol putting on a little weight and will make sure to make weird comments about their styling or ~how brave they are or how they must be going through something tough right now, maybe it's medication making them larger, but if I think, even privately to myself, that someone looks too thin and I worry for them I'm the fucking problem.

Like witnessing drastic weight loss in real time and someone going "Yeah, they've just been taking care of themselves more" but if I go "Hey, maybe they're not okay and weight loss isn't inherently healthy" I'm the weirdo :|

Absolutely do not go out of your way to speculate stuff and again... commenting on other's health is WEIRD which is why I'm being o vague about this but... watching people do this in reverse (ie fawn over the weight loss and gush about how good they look) makes it so... I really feel the need to counteract it. Cause like... they'll say this about someone who looks like they're going to have a fainting spell. It feels a bit like someone is drowning and someone remarks on how cinematic it looks. Like... idk man is that the best way to react
