Centro de Ajuda local, um evento esportivo, um tipo de beleza,
Summer in the United States is coming and, for sports journalist Chris Spagnuolo, the biggest concern that men should have is the weight of singer Rihanna. If you thought that there is no logic in this reasoning, know that thousands of other people agree.
It turns out that, on the 30th, Spags (as he is known) published a column on the Bartstool Sports blog dedicated not to a sporting event , but to a photo in which the Barbadian singer appears walking through New York City ( image above ). The image was taken by someone passing by on the street and caught the journalist’s attention because, according to him, in the photo it is possible to see Rihanna “reaching 81 kilos, and that is difficult to swallow”.
According to the article published by Spags, Rihanna is a “beauty standard” followed by many women, she “sets the fashion”. weight,” he pointed out.
In a “joke” tone, the blogger wrote that, soon, the most attractive girls will look like Wall-E, that little robot from the Pixar animation: “A world of girls looking like a dirigible balloon wearing swimsuits could be on the horizon , now that Rihanna is strolling around looking like she’s dressed in a sumo suit.”
generalized thinking
Spags’ article generated a lot of criticism on the internet and caused his deletion from the blog. Unfortunately, however, the thought conveyed by the journalist is not exclusive to him. As the writer Cristiane Cardoso reminds us, our society does not want us to see true beauty. “On the contrary, she wants to impose, dictate, and force women (and men too) to limit themselves to a type of beauty with a single shape, which can only be seen with the eyes, and needs to have a certain name and be in the fashion. When someone does not experience this beauty, it is diminished, discarded.”
What happened to Rihanna was famous for her position as an artist, but it happens every day to millions of people around the world. This thinking about beauty needs to change.
In a podcast , Cristiane says that the beauty of today is not the original beauty. “People associate beauty with something outside, with something you see with your eyes.” For her, the truth is that this is not beauty. “You have a beautiful body, you have beautiful skin, you have beautiful hair. This is not beauty. Because if we were to associate beauty with people’s appearance, then beauty would be very unfair. And beauty would also be temporary, because people get older, people get fatter, people change. Looks don’t stay forever.”
Cristiane teaches that true beauty, the one that should get people’s concern, is the inner one, because it lasts. Physical beauty deserves attention, but never priority in anyone’s life. Judging others by their appearance would be, in Cristiane’s opinion, a prejudiced and misleading attitude, which harms not only the target of criticism, but also, and mainly, the critics themselves.
“As long as people invest in outer beauty they will be frustrated, they will think about suicide, they will always be disappointed with the world and with people, but her real problem is not people, it is not the world. The problem is with her. She needs to start investing in the beauty that really makes the difference”, concludes Cristiane.
