Yeah, her decline over just the last four years alone is pretty shocking when you compare before and after pics. That's not natural aging; natural aging doesn't hit you that fast and that hard. It's the consequences of treating her body like a garbage heap. And she looks worse now than she did even six months ago.
Then again, consider the deathfats who make up her core audience—who are clearly not the size 14-20 fatties she so bitchily says are "everywhere." We're talking about women who, like Corissa, can't reach their own asses to wipe, have health that is falling apart just like hers, and have various mental problems that they either deny outright or have absorbed into their identities. They've got an investment in normalizing being fat, sick, and not being able to manage basic tasks.
So you can bet they all live pretty much as Corissa does, if not worse, and exert as little effort into meeting their obligations to others as Corissa does. In fact, despite her obviously declining health, trashed looks, inability to wipe her own ass, and chronically messy, dirty house, Corissa is probably still aspirational as far as most of them are concerned.
A long time ago, back just before the Nader era, somebody on Chantal's thread dug into who her most loyal supporters were—the kinds of people who thought this disgusting, filthy, lying deathpig was a wonderful, charming person worthy of their support, admiration, and affection. Every fucking one of the women were just the saddest specimens of humanity you could find. Fat, sick, friendless, low-wage, low IQ, with various physical and mental disabilities, and so lonely, even a parasocial, transactional relationship with Chantal seemed like a light in the dark. Chantal's horrible, and the people who cling to her as an inspiring, sympathetic figure are just broken.
So I see a variation on that here. Corissa can get away with posing in sponsors' clothes while looking smelly, greasy, and unwashed, sometimes not even bothering to get fully dressed, in her filthy, chaotic house, and the kinds of women who admire her will see nothing wrong with it because they aren't even managing to do that well.
The people who latch onto influencers and find them inspiring are never people who are doing as well as that influencer in their own lives, much less better. Influencers are inherently aspirational—they're doing/consooming all the things their followers wish they could do/consoom themselves. So look at Corissa, as she is, and how she presents herself, and know that no matter how gross and pathetic she has become, the people who see her as inspiring are even worse.
Have some bigger pants!"
