Really enjoying the sheer volume of columns / comments saying the media shouldn't comment on a celebrity's weightloss. Like, maybe don't write about it then?

But if your column's point is that we shouldn't be celebrating OR denigrating, just not commenting at all, then doesn't the very writing of the column undermine that point ?
I mean sure, but then how does literally anything get stopped? If people didn't right those columns, people would just be celebrating her weight loss undeterred and uncriticised. Someone with a platform/sway has to argue that point first if things are going to change imo

Yeah I can accept that, I'm just not sure it's a particularly new point to argue? Like don't we go through the same cycle every time a high-profile woman changes their appearance? I remember the exact same pieces running the last time she lost weight

Yeah sure, but I do think it's less and less every time, and I think dissent, both from high profile people and "the masses" is what changes that
