recent tumblr critiques of aesthetics and representation of the human body can be pretty fucking fascist (not to mention reductive, boring, and reactionary). instead of talking about what we don’t like based on essentialist readings of subjects, can we maybe try to think of ways to talk about modes of representation and how we might challenge those instead.

after all, ALL BODIES ARE INHERENTLY VALID.

non?
