It was to point out how how her body looks has absolutely nothing to do with this at all.

The way in which it has been made about her looks lacks integrity and just ridiculous in light of the situation. We highlighted the comments that were made along these lines – not because we want it to be the focus – but because this is a mindset of many, and one that should be explored. It’s a dialogue that can cultivate conversation, which can lead to broadening perceptions, breaking down ideologies and stripping apart stereotypes. So with that as our incentive, I really do not see us as the idiots.

We all have our own opinions though, and it’s good to have some feedback!

One chop said she didn’t have a nice body and you (OSS) have to make the whole thing all about her looks. It’s your fault for choosing to quote him and not someone else. You could have ignored the guy that mentioned her looks, but noooooooooo. Idiots.
Otherwise, I think her body is perfect. I just think what she did was silly. And don’t come at me with ‘it’s art’ or ‘expression’. The statue in itself is art, and she could have sang a song or painted a picture.

I am surprised that what her body looks like is what people took out of this situation.
I just need to know why she did it.
