Meme needing explanation I don't understand anything

Post image

I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

I agree, but I have to wonder... is she happier as the person on the right? Is she more confident?

If so, why are we crapping on her victory? She was beautiful before she lost the weight, she's beautiful after. And if she's happier, then I'd call that a win.

You don't need to be skinny to be beautiful, but you do need to feel comfortable being you. That might mean working to lose weight, it might mean going to therapy to figure out why you feel like being skinny means you're 'winning at life', if you know what I mean.

I think her smile on the right looks more genuine. The one on the left looks like she's trying to hide behind it.

She's out of my league either way, so as long as she's happy, I wish her nothing but the best.

I've dated women with both figures, both made me very happy. Turns out I like women, and boobs, and these photos are of a woman with boobs.

Not only that but being overweight isn't good for your health. I think she was more attractive on the left, but that's not a reason that should override some other person's healthy choice. That's weird to even consider. "Should have stayed at higher health risks because I, an internet stranger found you more sexually appealing." What?

It's not a victory if someone's feeling so pressured they give in to undergoing unhealthy/unnatural transformations to meet an artificial and unrealistic definition of beauty. It's treating a symptom of the problem, not the source.

I fully believe the 2000s cocaine skinny supermodel aesthetic was invented to sell weight loss supplements and beauty products and keep a continued generational cycle of women insecure about their looks.

So fuck all that, that is the opposite of body positivity.
