as much as I support the #progress #leftists are making towards being #bodypositive, there is still a hard limit evident in which forms of #bodypositivity are considered #capitalism friendly--mostly things involving #fatPhobia, which IS important, I'm not denying that. however, there are many other body parts that don't get the same commercial-friendly normalization--because they're harder to sell to consumers, I guess. very rarely you might see an ad campaign featuring people with #vitiligo, #amputees and other #disabilities etc, but it's always done as a one-off PR stunt, not sustained awareness and destigmatizion of bodies that look like that. and I have NEVER, EVER seen an ad campaign to normalize #acne especially #adultAcne or #acneScars, unless it's to sell something that allegedly prevents or heals acne. trust me, some of us have tried all that, and it still doesn't work. rather than shame the millions of people who deal with these kinds of things, isn't it way past time to normalize them, too? (at least socially, by calling out #bodyshaming for more than just being #plusSize or #curvy - - capitalism will follow once they decide it's more profitable to pretend to support it, just as they're starting to do in fat-centric body positive campaigns.)
