Kim Kardashian and her sisters are very into working out. That’s no secret. However, sometimes people perceive their obsession with looking a certain way as problematic. Exhibit A: When Khloé Kardashian offered tips for looking “thin AF” on her website. And now we have exhibit B: A new round of videos in which Kim Kardashian’s sisters praise her for looking skinny.

Here’s what happened: On Sunday evening (July 29), according to BuzzFeed, Kim was attending an event with her sisters Khloé and Kendall when, at one point, the conversation turned to Kim’s recent weight loss. Kim, of course, documented the conversations on Instagram Stories. “I’m really concerned, I don’t think you’re eating. You look so skinny!” Kendall says at one point, prompting Kim to let out an excited, “What?! Oh my God, thank you!”

“I’ve never seen a human being look so good. You are a walking Facetune doll,” Khloé says, while Kendall interrupts to hold up her tiny handbag and say, “My purse is as tiny as you!” “Oh my god, the compliments!” Kim says, before turning the camera on herself to show off her body in a pair of skintight latex pants. She goes on to trade more comments about looking “skinny” with Khloé, then films a conversation in which Khloé and her friend Malika Haqq speculate that Kim must only be eating “celery, maybe some lettuce,” and “different flavors of oxygen.”

Kim then announces to her sisters and followers that she’s “down to 119 pounds,” prompting Khloé to say she looks “anorexic” around her waist.

As you can imagine, Twitter users aren’t pleased with Kim, Kendall, and Khloé’s word choices in these Instagram posts. Many are saying the sisters repeatedly complimenting each other for being “skinny”—rather than the much more empowering “healthy” or “strong”—sets a toxic and dangerous example for their followers. See some of the disappointed comments, below:

This should go without saying, but “skinny” and “hot” aren’t synonymous. Beauty and health come in all shapes and sizes. It’s high time for everyone (the Kardashian-Jenner sisters included) to remember that.
