Part 3/8:
In a candid social media rant, Bass expressed her frustration, reminding the online community that her body—like that of many women in her age group—was a reality for countless people. She argued that the filter’s use implied that being overweight was universally negative and that mocking or joking about larger bodies was inherently harmful. Bass emphasized that many bigger individuals lead healthy, active lives, and that weight does not automatically equate to poor health. She also highlighted the absurdity of societal obsession with fatphobia, questioning why being “fat” seemed to be the worst thing imaginable in today’s cultural landscape.
