Not a fan ( think people can confirm that from me by now ) but I do think she’s really pretty - until she starts adding filters and tweaking photos!
Trigger warning: I mention my experience of body image issues and ED at the bottom of this post.
I totally agree, she is sooo pretty in my opinion, she really doesn’t need all those filters and editing at all!
One thing I will say: I see a lot of comments on here about her appearance, eg. Likening her to a giraffe, commenting on her nose, her hair etc. Perhaps it’s not fair to judge as an outsider but I think someone who filters and edits so much clearly can’t be happy with their appearance, so by commenting these things about her, doesn’t that add fuel to the fire that is her self-perception and esteem
Obviously I get these comments aren’t being left on her personal account or to her inbox, she would have to actually come looking for them. But for me, surely commenting on someone’s appearance like that - on things she cannot change - makes us as bad as when she shared that meme about Tulisa? (That wasn’t directly on Tulisa’s account or in her inbox, so I’d like to think the two situations are somewhat comparable).
I also obviously get that we have seen her love the camera and the photo shoots and hair and makeup so there is the element that all the woe is me about her height is purely a play-up for the gram, but taking that out the equation, surely we don’t need to be commenting negatively about an aspect of someone’s physical appearance that they cannot change? I was always told that if a person cannot change something within five seconds then don’t comment on it at all, eg. If someone has food stuck in their teeth then tell them as they can change that, but if they have wonky teeth then don’t as they cannot change that. It’s the same with comments about Sophie’s height likening her to a giraffe and also her nose for me, it just doesn’t sit right.
I know not everyone will agree with me and that’s fine - we don’t go for the jugular with one another every time we don’t agree like the crazed Hinchers do
also sorry for the essay
Edited to add: I’m speaking as a 20 year old female in recovery from Diabulimia (I’m type 1 diabetic). If anyone isn’t familiar with this it’s where type 1 diabetics eat but don’t take insulin as this causes rapid weight loss, but is also EXTREMELY dangerous. For this reason I like to think I can relate a lot to anyone suffering with body image issues or EDs etc. I apologize if this is triggering for anyone to read, I know we support one another here with our experiences. I will add a trigger warning ar
