Well-known television personality Kim Kardashian is globally known for having a voluptuous figure. But she has shed considerable weight lately, sparking a debate where several women are claiming that Kim's new look is an indication that "thin is back in." Soon after Kim's latest photos of her new physique hit the internet, hundreds of netizens argued that the TV star's weight loss signifies the end of the curly body trend, something which Kim helped to begin. Kim first shed 7 kg in just three weeks in May to fit into her Met Gala dress.
She again claimed to lose 3 kg in the following months, touching the mark of 52 kg and 115 pounds. However, the star's recent move to shed weight has not gone down well with many people. One Twitter user stated they were 'devastated' to learn Kim was bringing "unnaturally skinny" back. Dani Adriana, a fat activist from Brisbane, stated that the obsession surrounding mainstream body norms could hurt the body positivity movement. Dani explained that Kim has a significant influence, and her new move to shed weight could make thinness a new body standard.
