Yes, but I have a problem when they are marketing it specifically towards children. Arianna has a doll of herself in Walmarts around the nation. She is making money off of children who want to look like her. She’s marketing herself to children- and not caring about the lifelong impact of normalizing her currently unhealthy body. People freaked out over Eugenia Clooney showing up on YouTube kids, how is this different when its on the shelves in stores, the main character of wicked- young girls idolize her and look up to her and want to look like her, and she’s making money off of that while normalizing being a weight that most people don’t live past 30. Eating disorders are highly complex and competitive, she’s aloud to exist, but she also needs to know the ramifications of being a idol and also being a triggering low weight- and also wearing clothing that shows off and highlights that low weight.
