Advertising Standards Authority’s ruling criticises YSL’s use of female model with ‘very thin’ legs and ‘visible rib cage’, calling fashion advert ‘irresponsible’

An advert by the fashion company Yves Saint Laurent has been banned by the UK’s advertising watchdog for using a model who appeared to be unhealthily underweight.

Upholding a complaint that the model looked too thin, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) censured the advert, which appeared in Elle magazine, as irresponsible.

In its ruling, published on Wednesday, it said: “The ASA considered that the model’s pose and the particular lighting effect in the ad drew particular focus to the model’s chest, where her rib cage was visible and appeared prominent, and to her legs, where her thighs and knees appeared a similar width, and which looked very thin, particularly in light of her positioning and the contrast between the narrowness of her legs and her platform shoes.

“We therefore considered that the model appeared unhealthily underweight in the image and concluded that the ad was irresponsible.

Fuck the Advertising Standards Authority. This isn't the first time they've gotten their hands where it doesn't belong. I've seen fucking chubby girls with visible ribcages - it isn't a proxy for weight.

Shit like this worries me because it's gonna become expected in the US. It is not the government's job to protect you from "irresponsible" ads.

A few weeks ago I saw a magazine cover boasting about the existence of some ridiculously plus-sized "supermodel". Didn't read the article, but she looked like a fucking sphere. And of course, she didn't do any justice to what she was wearing. I couldn't even tell if it would have looked decent on a skinnier model because her size made it look so hideous--and made her look so hideous--that I could barely look at it. This is what is being pushed, while a model who is perfectly fine and healthy like in the OP is decreed too skinny and banned. Fucking France even made it rule of law that you can't be a model under a certain BMI. People would be grabbing torches and pitchforks if a law was passed prohibiting people from holding a certain job if they were too fat, yet this shit is greeted with glee.

Underweight is a term describing a person whose body weight is considered too low to be healthy. The definition usually refers to people with a body mass index (BMI) of under 18.5[1] or a weight 15% to 20% below that normal for their age and height group.[2]

That doesn't even make sense. If you were trying to be "realistic," Ariel should be a swimmer, basically female ottermode. Pocahontas and Mulan would be fit, and the rest would probably be skinny to average. None would be chubby, except maybe Snow White, given that she's described as a plump-faced 14 year old, but it's probably just puberty fat for her.

She looks healthy here but the ad wasn't banned because the model didn't weigh enough herself but because it projected skinny as beautiful. I am against governmental induction though. If chubby can be seen as beautiful why can't skinny? Just because it's unhealthy or is it that society is fat?
