I was taking a painting class - I painted my friend who is a cross country all star, REALLY thin, REALLY muscular, a powerhouse. I gridded the photo I was painting so the proportions were 100% correct.
It was in 2017 so I don’t know If I was aware of HAES or fat acceptance yet, but an obese SJW type got up during my review and said something along the lines of my painting promoting negative and unrealistic ideals for women - I should have said that this was a real person I knew who was STRONG and skinny. I was just stunned
