This seems like a very dubious set of standards?

At least to me, the problem is not just saying that someone is fat. I'm fat. It's not intrinsically an insult. People often use it as an insult, but at the end of the day, some people weigh more than some other people, and that's not fundamentally a negative or insulting thing unless you make it one.

Where I think you run into problems is when you either start making it an insult, or when you start framing it in terms of norms, and standards, and start demanding certain things from people. Nothing in the other conversation touched on body standards. On the other hand, this whole conversation is framed around body standards - what kind of body standards it's reasonable to demand from male actors. Just finding Daniel Craig unattractive, whatever, it's a personal preference. But talking about Daniel Craig being bloated and overweight, like an objective fact, in a thread about what kind of standards we demand from male actors, is implicitly trying to police and enforce those standards.

And, yes, women in Hollywood face much more severe and harsh standards of appearance than men. But trying to police men's appearances does nothing to help eradicate those double standards of beauty. It only entrenches them more.
