    Why do I have to compare this to being obese? What metric are you using that implies (obese == skinny) > fat?

          Whataboutism?
          You could say what about lots of things, but what about arguing your case?
          Body building is not at all within a similar category of fashion magazines setting an unhealthy standard as for being thin.

          Mention One high end fashion company that uses extreme body builders for their models.
          Body building is a sport, being thin is not a sport.

          Although body building is also extreme, it is a different category and a different debate.

            It’s not whataboutism - just trying to understand your point of view how skinny is worse than fat when objectively speaking they both carry similar health risk, I’d even argue that until you get old skinny is still healthier than fat. So clearly you’re not referring to the health metric - what is it then?

            You just keep patching your thought process with goal post movement. First it’s health, then it’s extreme mindset, now it’s “sport” whatever that means?

            Either way cleaely you haven’t formed a steong position here and as someone who’s been friends with many people who are naturally skinny and got bullied for it I’d say that you’re really missing something here.
