I had never heard of this until last night.
"No shaming please. No hate speech please."
That's what was written in the About section in a new "skinny acceptance" campaign called Project Harpoon before it was taken down from Facebook. The "campaign" photoshops images of plus-size women to make them look skinnier.
And yes, it's wildly problematic.
The creators of Project Harpoon describe the project on Instagram as a "movement" that asks people to support "being in shape and not feeding into obesity." The images include plus-size celebrities, models and everyday people.
It's fat-shaming at its ugliest.
