While g3 is a lot better about including different body types, I feel like ppl are applauding the bare minimum just bc they made Draculaura's doll have a pear shaped ish body but like. Thats just an average body type?? Sorry but thats not far from the body type of our body and we are not considered fat. The rest of the characters are often simply at least a bit skinnier than whats actually average. I feel like Iris Clops and Tundra Bominable are probably the only humanoid body characters whose bodily types even diverge a bit from the norm?? And I feel like they made Clawdeen in the show (and practically every character ofher than Draculaura) very skinny compared to her live action counterpart.. It feels like media franchises want to be lauded for just having a doll and character with an AVERAGE body type and that being "body diversity" for them. Media in general makes it seem like average is "skinny but not so skinny that your bones show"

#impromptu rant and. Im not fat myself so sorry if Im speaking over fat people #but I have a gripe with ppl acting like including an average body type is so progressive #I feel it detracts from ACTUALLY including fat people in society and representing them in media #when shows are hailed for making a character have an average sized body #thats still basically not even fat #I know that the new drac doll helped some ppl w an ed #but. uh. the norm should not be made “skinny is average and this character whos a little bit bigger is body diversity”#like. Im sorry but all characters and dolls etc. shouldnt be on average made this skinny in the first place #it just promotes the false idea that the “normal” body is very skinny #and I think it functions as “thinspo” without being intended that way #or maybe it is intended. you know how corporations are #g1 mh is even worse bc all of them are stick-thin #like. bro. what. very few ppl look like that wtf..and if they did you would see their bones it wouldnt #be like “average body but just thinner everywhere” it would be like bones poking out #bc thats how bodies look if they actually have that less fat and muscle !!#monster high g3 #mh g3 #mh g3 dolls #fatphobia in media
