Part of me thinks this article is saying "Boo, your attempts to send a positive message aren't quite good enough so don't even try, hiss" but still it's spot on about the fact that the she's regarded this way only because she is fit and attractive.

Now I wonder what would happen if, having the cult of personality she has already, she gains 50 pounds. Would she still be a tumblr idol?

Yeah it almost had a 'wait, thin people are the victims!' message but then it finished better.

Noooope.

Agreed. Of course she wound't be a Tumblr idol, given that she's a Tumblr idol because she's super hot. If she gained 50 lbs, she would not be even slightly attractive. Kind of a dumb question.
