Reality TV shows suffer from a lack of body inclusivity

Reality TV shows suffer from a lack of body inclusivity

Reality TV shows provide alluring and indulgent entertainment. From shows like “The Bachelor” to “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “Love Island,” they project a glamorous world which draws viewers in and sometimes inspires emulation. This harbors danger: lurking behind the glamor of these shows, there are misleading stereotypes which can often influence judgments as well. Reality shows should attempt to break past these barriers and promote diversity and inclusion of all body types.
