NOW theyre worried about how Ariel is flaunting her shit..
We're all for Ariel Winter loving her body, but should we be worried?
Considering that Winter chose another provocative image of herself in a tiny bikini (where her ass is clearly the main focus of the picture) as a way of celebrating having 2 million followers on Instagram, it feels as though she's choosing a very specific path for herself, and it's a little concerning.
After all, there's nothing remotely empowering about these images, and worse, they feel typical of a teenager who has confused becoming an adult with being hypersexual. The pictures possess a certain misguided immaturity that many teenage girls excitedly experience as they navigate away from childhood to adulthood, sometimes making mistakes with experimentation in the process. What is most worrying for an actress like Winter, however, is the fact that in Hollywood, this behavior can sometimes act as a precursor for a meltdown.
It was at around the same age, for example, that Lindsay Lohan began displaying concerning behavior, with provocative pictures of her posing sexily with knives being leaked to the press. This also followed a tabloid frenzy of stories of her alleged party-loving ways becoming more and more commonplace, which eventually swamped her public persona and the talent that she genuinely had. Though Winter is currently nowhere near this same level (thank God), the child-star-gone-wild cliché is clichéd for good reason; celebrities who have grown up in the public eye often seem eager to leave behind the pressure of being a wholesome, well-behaved child star and as a result, end up diving into the deep end of adulthood before they've even learned how to swim. These behaviors can be destructive, yes, but they can also completely distract from the gigantic potential of the celebrity in question, and Winter currently has much more potential than these recent selfies are giving her credit for.
As a result, it would be a terrible shame to see Winter continue down this path. While there's nothing wrong with a young woman positively celebrating her independence and sexuality, it only feels like a positive, self-affirming act if she's doing it
for her and not for any man who would exploit these facts.
Hollywood can be precarious and even dangerous for young starlets who are this eager to prove their sexuality as being just as big a selling point as their intelligence and their talents are, and Winter would be a fool to promote this about herself in the way that her recent Instagram posts are implying. There's no denying that she's beautiful and has the sort of body that I would be proud of showing off myself (if I had it), but boy, does she need to dial it down a little.
There's a time and a place for seductive, provocative self-exposure and when done correctly, those kinds of selfies can slay in a way that is positive
and strong.
But done wrong, and laid on this thick, you end up distracting from your core selling points. For Winter, she has far more to offer than her sexuality, and her social media should reflect that. Show us talent, show us personality and even show us mundane, but girl, don't dilute yourself. Considering that Winter is at the beginning of what could be a big, bright career, it would be a shame to see her distracting from that by presenting herself so superficially. Women deserve better than to use their sexuality as the apex of their selling point, and it's time we taught all young, talented women that that's definitely the case.
