The Dark Side of Tall Girl Fan Pages | How They Can Ruin The Confidence of Tall Women
Let's talk about tall girl fan pages! Lol, you're probably like 'what????????'
Let's start with the basics:
What Are Tall Girl Fan Pages?
Tall girl fan pages are social media accounts that showcase and "celebrate" tall women—kinda. These accounts often feature images, videos, and stories of tall women, with height as the main point of attraction. While these pages might appear to provide a sense of community, they can also have a darker side, promoting objectification and unrealistic standards.
These fan pages are prevalent across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and even Flickr. Lol, do y’all remember Flickr? I’m telling you, when I was in middle school, Flickr was EVERYTHING. That and VSCO. If you weren’t on those sites, you were not cool, lol.
ANYWAYS, tall girl fan pages are scattered all over the Internet, and they tend to have a lot of common themes—primarily featuring extremely tall women. This often leads to the misconception that a woman has to be 6’4” and up to be considered tall. But that raises an important question: What is considered tall for a girl? In my opinion, it's not just limited to those who are 6’4” and taller.
In this episode, I explore how tall girl fan pages can promote unrealistic standards of tall beauty and fuel unhealthy self-comparison. Also, what are these tall girl fan pages really for? Are they meant to support and celebrate tall women, or are they simply catering to the male gaze? I talk about this and more in the full episode!
