“Fans” claim to support her, but only the younger, slimmer version of her.Another day, another fun example of celebrity fan culture, beauty ideals, fatphobia and the internet intersecting. How parasocial! Isn’t modern life a ride!was released in 2011. Not only do people love her music, but they love the way she looks – her coolness coveted, her style emulated, her beauty put on a pedestal. And, like most pedestals, the person on top eventually falls off.
Beyond the blatant body-shaming is a more subtle trend. ‘Fans’ who seemingly still support her, and her new music, will create adoring videos. The catch? All the clips are about a decade old. Some users are grasping that this is not okay. A video with 408k likes says, ‘I hate fans that say they don’t body shame yet they refuse to post photos of lana after her weight gain and it’s so upsetting’
As humans grow, so do our bodies. That is a fact. But we expect women, especially those in the public eye, to look the same at 18 as at 30. They are expected to be immune from the realities of life , and miraculously stay frozen in time.This isn’t unique to Lana. Society, at large, romanticises women’s teenage bodies over adults - sexualising youth and demonising ageing. The beauty standard is one that does not account for anthropology and the very natural process of growing.
