Why Lizzo is setting out to be the next beauty standard​

Lizzo is the ultimate girl's girl who is redefining modern-day beauty standards. She's blazing trails and uplifting her fans one sparkling bodysuit at a time – so, why can't we all be as body confident as the superstar rapper?

In a brilliant interview, Lizzo rightly calls herself a "body icon" and celebrates the likes of Kim Kardashian for helping women embrace their bodies, no matter the shape, size or colour. The 'Juicy' songstress has us feeling inspired and we hope what she has to say does the same for you!

"It may not be one person's ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone's ideal, but she's a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard," the 34-year-old told PEOPLE.

'One day that will just be the standard'​

"And what I'm doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard," she added.

Lizzo's rise to fame hasn't come without its attacks from the haters. In a 2021 social media post, she slammed "fatphobic" trolls who publicly targeted her online because she doesn't "fit into the box" they "want to put us in."

In another post she pointed out the obvious, something her relentless haters simply can't come to terms with. "Bodies are not all designed to be slim with a six-pack."

And true to form, Lizzo gave fans advice with a healthy dose of sass."If you're feeling down on yourself today, just remember that your body is your body. Nobody got your body. So enjoy that b***h."

'I'm a body icon'​

Fast-forward to the end of 2022 and Lizzo's at the top, both in her career and mindset. "I think I have a really hot body! I'm a body icon, and I'm embracing that more and more every day," she tells PEOPLE.

"I had to blaze a trail," she says, admitting, "There was no Lizzo before Lizzo.

"I don't think I'm the only kind of fat girl there is. I want us to be freed from that box we've been put in."

What's more, Lizzo is where she is for a reason. "I deserve the spotlight. I deserve the attention. I'm talented, I'm young, I'm hot. You know? And I've worked hard."

Yes, girl.

Like 85% of black women are in the morbidly obese category. With that in mind is there some reason this horrifically ugly particular 400+ pound nigger gets like 500 puff pieces per day?

It sure isn't because she's a good musician because I listed to one of her songs and it sounded like two Canadian Geese raping each other on a pile of rusty nails and salt.

I listened to her new Christmas song and I’m really not crazy about her vibrato. Her breath control needs a lot of work too, as she takes very obvious shallow breaths when singing. It would improve her sound if she tried to lose weight so she could breathe easier.
 
Being fat isn’t a virtue. I don’t care how many people try to frame this as being “anti-conformist” or “creating new beauty standards”. There are so many more ways to be beautiful without being an overweight glutton. Enabling obesity, like the enabling of anorexic-level skinniness just 30 years ago, is completely fucked up.
 
Fatties, no matter how hard you try, you will never be beautiful nor will the "standard" accommodate you. Aside from some fads of the times, beauty standards evolved from markers of good genetics and health, looking like the Michelin man dipped in shit and dying at 55 is not healthy and hides any traits of good genetics you may have had.

Lizzo is the product of a society that embraces the sedentary lifestyle and carbohydrate-filled consumerism, so perhaps having a fatty elevated as the pinnacle of beauty to make the average obese American feel good about themselves makes perfect sense. Also better that’s she’s black for extra diversity points.
 
Why is there so much marketing being done for fat negress? Not just that, talentless fat oversexualized negress. Cable TV shows ads now, has for a few years when you haven't watched anything for a few minutes. HBO is apparently pushing some garbage Lizzo 'documentary' as one of their biggest hits. Wonders why they are floundering after game of thrones went out with a whimper.
 
No Lizzo, when rappers say they want to fuck you on their songs they don't actually mean it. It's called a "shocking punchline."
When Eminem said "Hi kids, do you like violence? want to see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids?" He never actually meant that. I on the other hand, want to do that. The nails in the eyes, not Moby-Lizz.
