Stop policing language.

There’s no reason she couldn’t just kiss them! Or they all kiss each other! That’s the level of appropriate sexuality these kids should be at.

I meant “acceptable” as in “acceptable as a fictional narrative that realistically helps suspend reality” you numpty.

Holy shit you are embarrassing. You’re a derailer and an asshole. Imagine making the comment “I’m white and poor and I’ve had great difficulty” on a thread where black people were discussing systemic difficulty when you’re black and poor. Now read your idiot comment again. When I was a size 16, I couldn’t shop in most…

What we usually see from designers is that many of them as a rule prefer losing clients than have their clothes be worn by far people. As if that devalues the brand somehow. These idiots believe that keeping the allure of unattainability trumps selling actual clothes to actual people and making money. One of…

I also find it interesting that a man (who, of course, advocates a “that’s just the way it is attitude) has dominated the comments, dismissing, cursing at, and vaguely threatening me for daring to disagree with him.

It’s not all luck, though. It’s talent. And yes, the luck of being born with long limbs and outstanding bone structure. But what Kate and Naomi do takes talent and hard work, and that’s why they have 30-year careers. I fear they are the last of models who can count on such a thing, but just a few decades ago, runway…

1. I don’t know why you and other commenters made modeling something that is all about couture, when couture is a very small percentage of the clothing that you see on a runway. The excuses aren’t quite as relevant when you stop pretending that everything on a runway is couture. So no, everything isn’t about a $4000…

I can’t understand why we are asked to lend our sympathies to those who [can] market their desirability.

Just another opinion to toss in the mix - it’s also tricky when you are a size 8, 10 and 12 woman who is relatively fit etc. and have a fine body, but you aren’t THIN. Even for these women, buying high end clothing can be a nightmare! I have a more athletic/thick build, have larger breasts and am generally fit/fine…

Boycott is not the only way to put pressure on the fashion industry. There are lots of ways to push for change. But doing nothing is preferable to undermining and shitting all over the people who are actually doing anything at all to make things better by complaining about how change is hard.

Jesus fucking christ, change doesn’t happen SPONTANEOUSLY. We push for the changes we want, we take collective action, and that’s what creates the incentive for people with influence to actually help change them.

I honestly don’t know that there isn’t a conspiracy at this point. Leslie Jones had a hell of a time getting a dress for the Ghostbusters premiere. As an aside - the “clothes just look better on a thinner frame” argument people have been posting is BS because she looked amazing in her Christian Siriano dress.

When people come out and say “we need to change things,” and your response is “well, this is now things are,” that’s not really any different from saying “well, this is how things should be, there’s no need to change.” Get the fuck outta here. There is no “that’s just the way things are” when it comes to social…

No, you have it backwards, clothes look better on the frame they’re designed for whatever that frame is.

I don’t know that finding willing buyers is the problem. Apparently there are only a few thousand couture clients in the world. There surely are the same number of plus sized women who would and could buy it. High fashion designers just don’t want to cater to them and they should accept that and support designers that…
