"We're just worried that people who buy the magazine won't know how fat and ugly you really are, Lena. It's important for feminism."

Get it, Dunham. That was a classy response. My thought, from a comment on the original story: I just don't think this is the right case to illustrate that point [the industry depicts an unrealistic image of women]. In the first photo, if the photographer had given her better direction about fixing her posture and if…
When I look at the retouched photos in comparison to the originals, I don't see what the big deal is. They cleaned her up a bit, covered some not-so-attractive areas, and she looks like HER. They didn't reshape her whole body to give her a figure she doesn't have. "Oh noes, they made her chin smoother!" That's exactly…
Yes, wring those hands, Jessica Coen, wring them good and hard while you flush your make-up down the toilet and smash your camera because it has a red-eye filter.
Good god. LET. IT. GO.
She's polite, at least, for not calling out Jezebel for calling her fat and unattractive. Which is what all this underhanded concern trolling was really saying. "LOL Lena, you're definitely fatter than that. You must be photoshopped!"
You guys are barking up the wrong tree here. Give it up. You're coming off as nitpicky, petty, and douchy.
you guys gross me out.
Jez,
But on the cover, according to your very own expose, you said she was photoshopped minimally. ("Just a few changes.") Which is true. So... did you want her without makeup having just woken up?
Your own sad post admitted the cover photo was the least retouched of all the barely-retouched photos. I can't believe you're really trying to play this off like you didn't make a huge mistake.
What do boobs have to do with pant size?
We will not rest until we see a fat, non-white, trans, gay woman from a poor background with some sort of mental disorder AND physical disability modeling for every clothing company in America.
Have I personally offended you? I've seen you on here before and know you're not a troll. Are you just a massive fucking asshole, or what is your deal? My point was that these aren't particularly edited shots and that they were fairly true to the original photos, so the bounty on the pictures did not serve any purpose…
After spending 15 years as a photographer and countless hours in the darkroom, I am authorized to say you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Dodge and burn, fool. Dodge and burn.
Wow. This is the ultimate in concern trolling.
