They are really "unrealistic body images" for the average viewer. I understand the thinking that this type of advertisement creates a negative image of the viewer's body to the viewer because the viewer's body doesn't fit that "ideal" image, but the image itself is not a negative body image. Good point. The main photo that started this tweet fest looks just fine to me. And so it is not negative, but difficult to attain. Unrealisitc that many will attain it. |
