Good Grief

"Clothes brand gets 100 complaints a day that models are 'too fat'" - BBC News

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2xjd

[* is nonsense with Racist origins.
All sizes are Lies, and
NO 'Standard Sizes' fit any human being correctly.]

BBC NewsSnag clothing gets 100 complaints a day that models are too fat, says bossSnag clothing is cited in an online debate over whether adverts showing models who appear "unhealthily fat" should be banned.

@Faintdreams oh, perhaps that's why our go-to plus size store now has models who are mostly tall, often not even curvy let alone fat! They used to have a wonderful fat model who made me buy a dress and a coat because of the way they looked on her body so I had an idea how they would look on mine; I'm so different from a tall thin model that I'd rather have a picture of the garment without a person wearing it so I'm not distracted by that person's shape.

@irina it does seem like Snag do as much as possible to protect the models they hire from vitriol, but the - People Who have made it Thier Job to Police Other People's Bodies - will go out of their way to be bigoted and Fatphobic.

Those 'People Police' aren't happy unless they can tell someone not to thier liking "How Dare You Be Fat and Exist"

it's infuriating and needlessly spiteful.

@Faintdreams 😩 the poor person that has to clean the mailbox every day

According to the article the Snag Founder states:

"Of her 100 staff, 12 are dedicated "just to remove negative comments and big up those promoting body positivity".

That means more than 10 % of her staff need to be allocated to deal with what amounts to harassment of models / freelancers
