Somebody can dislike the look of these individuals while not having cacomorphobia. I'm sure the poster is not running away from obese individuals, scared for his life of being squished.

It's a personal preference.

That first woman has boobies on her back. I wouldn't go out in public like that. I'm no Twiggy, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

It's not really going to be a big deal until they have models like that in magazines without having to call the issue "The Big Issue" or whatever. If someone just threw them in with out saying anything about it, and THEN people noticed. And I don't really get what the fuss is about models weight anyway, they are advertising clothing usually. They're not there to be role models for little girls, and they are not there to represent anything that is "right" or "wrong". Fashion is political but it is supposed to look attractive. They don't care if the model with the clothes on is or is not. People think they do, but I can tell you from working with these people, they really don't whatsoever. And usually, the people who complain about the models weights, can't afford or do not buy the clothes they are advertising. So it does not matter anyway. It would be bad business to change for something way out of your demographic. They aren't selling clothes to fat people... obviously.
I'm not saying that anorexic models are attractive, I am saying that they aren't going to make them plus-sized with high-fashion clothing. People who buy high-fashion clothing just aren't plus sized. Sorry. And most models are advertising high-fashion clothing, and this is the fashion forum.

The only people that have problems with skinny models are fat people.
