stock photo models and community college campus brochures, Target store models, most of the models have a disability or obesity or conventionally unattractive, are these the poster children for our current generation? It’s getting a little out of hand.

    Can you elaborate on what problems you have with it? It seems like you have a warped idea of what these depictions are meant to do. They’re not “poster children” like you say, they’re supposed to be honest reflections of members of society.

    Inclusion, specifically, is meant to show marginalized groups that they aren’t forgotten by the broader society. I’m not trying to bait you into saying something, but do you think that this is a bad thing?

      Yes that’s perfectly fine, but it seems like conventionally attractive people are the ones being forgotten now.

        … for the first time in centuries. I think we can deal with a little under representation for a bit.

        Well, the world is already built around them. They’ll be okay
