Rothmus 🏴(@Rothmus):It’s science. Higher BMI on Instagram lines up with fewer full body photos and more face only or cropped shots. The 2023 study showed that it’s positive body image, not the weight number itself driving it. So basically if you feel good about your body, you show more of it. If you don’t, you stick to the safest frame and keep it tight. And THAT is the real tell with a lot of the body positivity talk, my shitposting frens. If someone’s preaching acceptance but only ever posts face shots, they know exactly what they’re working with. Them actions don’t lie.
