Celebrities Photoshopped Show Fatphobia and Sexism





I was stunned to find a link to a gallery with various celebrities "photoshopped fat" today.

FATPHOBIA AND SEXISM EPITOMIZED





Things to note:

-most of the photoshopped celebs are women
-most of the photoshop is HORRIBLY DONE. It serves to portray the overweight as monstrosities, deformed, or unproportional at the least. (See: the Olsen twins, who resemble White Chicks).

-several of the photoshops, that were better done, do not look "oh my goodness morbidly obese", but rather normal woman. (See: Victoria Beckham and Kristen Bell).
-a few of the photoshops, for example the one of Katie Holmes, reinforce the stereotype of overweight women, or overweight people in general all being fatties who are spilling mustard and ketchup on their shirts.


This website gallery is disgusting and demeaning not only to the overweight and women, but to people everywhere. I've submitted the link to both Sociological Images and Jezebel for further discussion.
