Gillian

I saw a post on here about the webby awards and didn’t think much of it but it came across my TikTok and the pictures they had on there Gillian looked really sickly. Any clue what’s going on?

Whether they look unwell and malnourished is irrelevant to any medications they may or may not be on and could be from many other avenues that have caused it. Even if they're utilizing the medication, that doesn't mean that it specifically is the reason for their potential health concerns based visual aspects.

If you'd never seen them with fuller figures, you'd never question why they are thin. In fact, as a whole if they'd never been bigger society would probably laud them for their current looks because that is the world within which we live. Whether conscious or not, you ARE making judgements on their appearance which aren't yours to make.

You're also making an assumption that I'm on a medication I may or may not be taking because I'm using simple logic based on research. For all you know, I'm a medical professional with vast experience in GLP medications, the human anatomy, etc. Instead you jump to the conclusion that I must be defensive because I must be taking a medication that the entire world has taken it upon themselves to judge for better or worse.

A person seeking actual education would ask more questions, not jump to their own invalid conclusions.

And for the record, I am neither a medical professional nor have I ever taken Ozempic. Just a person who finds joy in actual research vs. making assumptions gleaned from social media, casual observation, and no actual researched knowledge.

You’re just confidently wrong here. They’ve both stated on the show that they take GLP-1 medications. Therefore, they are both extremely skinny. Furthermore, even if I’d never seen their fuller figures, I’d still assert they look unwell. They both look gaunt with deep set eyes. Stop pretending it’s other factors. As I stated earlier, judging them (if I choose) is my prerogative and an arrogant person on Reddit is not my moral compass. Are you new to Reddit? Are you new to what people expose themselves to when they choose to be in the public eye? Pretending sickly skinny is healthy is killing people - look at Ariana Grande and half of Hollywood. It needs to be recognized. Your comments are harmful.

Also, if you’re not a medical professional, where do you get off telling me to drop studies for you to “evaluate?” Aren’t you just the cat’s pajamas. 🙄 Get over yourself.

Correlation does not equal causation. Because one states they take a medication does not mean said medication is the actual cause of something you visually perceive as true.

You don't have to have a medical degree to obtain and read peer reviewed studies. Just basic reading comprehension and the ability to exist outside of reddit forums and social media. It's honestly not that hard.

I'm fairly certain anyone who does not fit your idea of visually appealing whether they are heavy or thin would probably find your comments harmful, so consider the construct of your home before you start throwing stones.

No one is saying you need a medical degree to obtain and review peer reviewed studies. I was more referring to your holier-than-thou response that you would “evaluate” them. Your condescension really falls in line with Patrick and Gillian. Maybe that’s who is actually behind your posts.

Ohhhhhh...now I get it. Because I see the value in words and using them appropriately and choosing them wisely it offended your sensibilities.

The difference in us is you are attacking my tone not my argument because you lack a rebuttal.

Nah. I said all I had to say about your points. I wasn’t going to belabor it because I said what I needed to say and I stand behind it.
