I wasn't trying to go all 'model culture' on you. and I apologize if I was unclear as well. These ads aren't of models, they're of 'successful ordinary people' in Japan that have managed to slim down in this fashion thanks to whatever product the ad is trying to sell. These ads are everywhere in Japanese magazines (literally the back of every gal zine is 20 pages of them), and products like these are sold everywhere. Appetite suppressants in Japan are sold in flavors and snack like containers; meal replacements with natural laxative additives come in bulk packs.

I wasn't trying to say you were wrong that lolita is considered 'a big girl's fashion' by the Japanese people; I was trying to say the entire culture of thin in Japan is twisted even by western standards and dangerous to the well-being of all girls who try to emulate it. Moreover if we take this already unhealthy standard and impose it on a race that is statistically bigger and taller than Japanese girl on average, you're just perpetuating a culture in where eating disordered behaviours are not only encouraged but acceptable.
