Re: Actually..

DA

And you don't think the obsession with weight and thinnness that leads to a lot of girls especially becoming overweight thanks to esteem and confidence issues isn't related to that at all?

Re: Actually..

I think it's the responsibility of parents/guardians to raise children, not the entertainment industry. I really can't simplify it anymore than that for you. Parents/guardians are responsible for creating a healthy foundation for their children based on their beliefs and morals. This includes body image.

Re: Actually..

Then you're a very, very naive human being with no comprehension of how the powers of influence work on a person's mind.

Do you think everyone with an eating disorder was raised by people who made them feel shit about their bodies? You don't think any of them were raised in environments where despite the best efforts of their families to make the most healthy environment possible, they have this illness anyway?

Ever heard of peer pressure? Ever heard of adolescents developing self-esteem issues because their barometer of how they think they/the world should be shifts from being influenced by their parents to being influenced by the world at large (as it should be, unfortunately in some cases it's for the worst).

Did your parents raise you to never be influenced by anything at all? You've never done a single thing because you saw someone else advocate/endorse/enthuse about it? That's influence. That happens, regardless of how you try and protect people from it.

To think that raising a child 'properly' is somehow going to make them 100% immune to being influenced by others, or to having e.g. the media amplify an illness or disorder they have anyway is incredibly naive.

That's not how things work, though. In a perfect world, parents/guardians could insulate their children from all outside influence and ensure that they grow to hold certain values and attitudes. But that's simply not the world that we live in. Kids are influenced by their total environment, and that includes people other than their parents. Additionally, it's in the nature of children, as they age and develop, to pull away from and go against their parents, and to latch on to other sources of guidance/information. It's very hard to guard against that, and it's also not particularly healthy to do so.

Well, yes, parents are obligated. But some of us don't have parents, or are raised by really shitty ones. We learned how to be a decent human mostly by reading books and trying to imitate fictional characters, because we DIDN'T have that foundation at home. If we had relied solely on our family, we would've been tanked.

The entertainment industry isn't some natural ineffable force like rain or snow. It's something we humans make, quite consciously and with awareness. It's not as though 'parents' and 'people in the entertainment industry' are mutually exclusive, and it's not as though the trends in media are accidental; a lot of money and thought goes into them.

As an artist myself, I see it as vital that we critique the media we consume! It's how media grows and changes.
