A social media group has caused outrage by posting images of plus-sized celebrities alongside photoshopped versions of them looking thinner. Project Harpoon was launched on Facebook and other platforms this month claiming to represent #thinnerbeauty and #SkinnyAcceptance but it has since been removed.The page featured women famous for their curves such as singer Meghan Trainor, chunky actress Melissa McCarthy, plus-size model Tess Holliday and Australian comedian Rebel Wilson.''I think [the Facebook page] is pathetic, and their Photoshop skills are seriously lacking," Holliday told US Weekly last week.The site selected photos of celebrities, and of other women, sent in by its followers, and Photoshopped them to make the women look a lot more slender.The pictures were often accompanied by captions such as "mum to model", and "from blocking the view to enhancing it".The idea was inspired by a nasty Reddit thread called "thinner beauty" that asked users to submit images of their own Photoshopped women.Like other "shaming" groups ,such as Women Who Eat on Tubes, Project Harpoon was criticised for singling out big women.The images were shown alongside insulting comments such as: ''Trainor might be a lot more popular if she was what the industry wanted her to be!"The site also featured ordinary women accompanied by equally offensive comments.A picture of a woman on the street was captioned: ''Now this is a true looker in disguise. From double wide to possible bride, being thin could do wonders."The page, which claimed to be a feminist space inspiring people to lose weight, received outraged comments calling it a site for bullying.One comment said: ''There's a difference between a health account and a hate account and this would be that difference."Holliday told E! News: "It's abominable. This [Facebook page] is using my image without permission to promote itself."This kind of piece is exactly why I started #effyourbeautystandards. I am asking my followers to boycott this [page]."Loving yourself is the most powerful message we all need to stand behind."..
