      This thread is insane. Apparently skinny people can’t jiggle because…I guess they’re not allowed to have meat and organs and other squishy jiggly things?

      Just sexy bones I guess!

      I was honestly hopeful coming into this thread only to be confronted a wall of people basically arguing that cartoon bodies are an attainable beauty standard or something?

        Just a bunch of people arguing that Taylor fucking Swift is not skinny.

        It’s wild.

          By 20th century standards, she’s perfectly normal. Now that obese is the new normal, she’s dying of anorexia.

      No. That only happens when there’s surplus fat or stretched skin.

      Skinny people don’t jiggle.

      It’s really true.

        Have you ever met skinny people? Even when I was at my thinnest, my body did jiggle. Not because of fat or stretched skin (at my fattest, I have still been on the lower end of normal weight), but because relaxed muscle jiggles too, unless you have muscles like stone. Which you cannot really have, if you are underweight, which people in this thread seem to think is “skinny”.

        Also thin is not the same as healthy, nor beautiful. People with anorexia are really thin, do people think they are healthy? Or cancer patients. Or someone like me, whose “miracle diet” is autoimmune diseases combined with mental health problems. I am all bony to touch, you can see my ribs and a tight gap. My cheeks are sunken in. I still jiggle.
