Leaking unphotoshopped images
Sometimes, someone will grab a hold of unphotoshopped images of a celebrity – images showing cellulite, a larger waist, no actual thigh gap, and other things – and leak them to the world. The idea behind this action is to show people that what we see in magazines sets us up for unrealistic expectations and that the world of beauty and fashion is all lies. But, that is still an individual in those photos. That may be an individual who wasn’t quite ready to show their body, as is, to the world. Unfortunately, in these moments, it seems there is no regard whatsoever for the feelings of the person in the photos.
