minus-squareSoup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19arrow-down2·17 days agoAriana Grande looks like she has a very serious eating disorder. She’s not skinny, she looks malnourished. It’s like saying that a Honda Civic is a muscle car because someone rolled up in a poorly setup Kei car.

minus-squareeestileib@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down7·17 days agoSkinny means you can see the bones. I’m not saying I find it attractive, I’m not arguing that it’s healthy. Taylor Swift is not skinny.
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down1·17 days agoThats not what skinny means. You’ve defined skinny as ‘medically dangerously low levels of body fat/muscle tissue’. It is possible to be skinny and healthy. Ariana Grande is so far beyond skinny that she genuienly needs an immediate medical intervention.

minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down3·17 days ago Skinny means you can see the bones. No, it does not. Your opinion of what a relative term means is not fact.
