Isabella Lanter's view 

Isabella Lanter is a YouTuber who made a video called, "SkinnyTok Is BACK & WORSE" and she unpacks the toxic culture of skinnytok. She explains that she thinks these content creators that push disordered views onto their followers aren't correct and she even thinks they're "embarrassing themselves."

Isabella talks about a popular content creator on TikTok named Liv Schmidt. In this particular video Liv is holding up a huge bouquet and states, "It's all about confidence guys. Genuinely join the skinny society. Get skinny, get hot. Pretty skinny privilege is real." Isabella is appalled by what Liv says in this video and explains that it doesn't matter what size you are. She explains that if you have confidence you will get these opportunities as well, and it has nothing to do with your weight. I agree strongly with Isabella. Confidence really does so much more for a person's appearance than their weight. In a different video Isabella is looking at, the content creator says, "You don't wait to become that girl until someone chooses you. You become her now so that when they show up, it's clear you've always been the prize. Imagine the freedom of not worrying of how a photo's coming out when it's being taken. Not checking the angles, not adjusting your shirt, not hiding your face, just existing, enjoying the moment. That's the freedom that comes with showing up as the best version of yourself." Isabella then replies with, "I am so over this mentality that being skinny is the best version of you. Not everyone is built to be skinny. Like truly, I'm telling y'all not everyone is meant to be built that way. And the quicker we let go of this perspective, the happier everyone's going to get. Because, also why is it that in order to be happy, in order to get nice things, in order to get treated well in a relationship, in order for people to give you things and respect you? Why is it that all of this is under the bias of we have to be skinny? That is stupid." When I was sixteen years old I believed the only way for me to be liked and wanted by the people around me was to be as thin as I could possibly be. I was the most miserable I have ever been. Forcing yourself to be skinny doesn't bring anything productive to your life, if anything it takes it away.
