Why would you assume Beyonce knows better? *Serious question- no snark here*

Yes. Preach.

Why would she know better? She’s an uneducated diva who knows nothing about the less fortunate.

If it had been a Coldplay song featuring Iggy Azalea you know very well they would have given her far more shit for it on Jez than they did with Bey. I mean, I don’t listen to any of these people so I have no horses in this race but I’m bothered by the blatant hypocrisy.

Yeah, super disingenuous. I can kinda see the logic to make a distinction between a black woman appropriating Indian culture and a white woman doing the same, given that black people were not imperial colonizers and thus there’s a different context. But come on, people, either cultural appropriation is bad or it…

Beyonce was in it too but let’s just focus on Coldplay. God forbid anyone say anything bad about Beyonce.

A giant NO to this: “others make the argument that a black American woman appropriating from Indian culture has less impact than a white woman doing the same”. When a black/Latinx/Native or any variety of POC asks me “are you dot or feather” or “why are you eating beef” or “explain reincarnation to me,” it is no less…

That’s so so bullshit. Acting like this successful famous woman has no power in this situation is ridiculous. Terry Richardson is famous and successful because women keep lining up to get photographed with him despite the allegations. The idea that they have no choice is ridiculous.

Her owners should do the responsible thing and spay her.

I’ve never really gotten that either. Barbie might be a 12" fashion doll with an unobtainable figure but she was also an astronaut/teacher/movie star/dentist supermodel that owned cars, houses, and a freaking yacht. Even as a kid I knew that no one looked like Barbie because Barbie was plastic - she was no more real…

THANK YOU! In my mind, Barbie was not an ideal. She was a piece of plastic I dressed up in weird outfits. I never once looked at my dolls and thought “Why don’t I look like this? I am sad.” because no one looks like that.

I’ve always thought the same, Barbie is stylized, of course her proportions are not real, it's like saying kids will worry their heads are too small if the watch Jimmy Neutron.

Me too!!! I consider myself a super feminist but have always thought this was a silly distraction from stuff that matters.

Maybe it’s just me, but I never looked at a Barbie doll and thought “I want to be that skinny with big boobs and a small butt.” Ever. I was a skinny, scrawny kid who grew up to be a curvy, big-boobed girl with an ass and hips. I don’t look back at my Barbie as some sort of “figure” I needed to achieve. I was just…

Thank you. I hate that the headline read “normal” as if being smaller than her is some sort of abnormal thing. Or if you were bigger you were somehow an awful creature.

Co-signed.

Can we go with average-sized instead? All bodies are normal bodies, unless we’re perhaps talking about medical literature.

Wow.. this guys a psycho? Try reading more into this actual story, rather than this one single take.

Oh I hope he sues. There are writers on this very website that have gotten away with far more egregious shit than twitter beefing, and the shit this guy got put through was insane.
