I’m not sure how to phrase this in a “thin privilege is…” way, but this is just something that pissed me off and I felt like I had to share. My (former?) best friend, who I rarely talk to anymore, posted a comment on a post that one of her friend’s made. This other friend had posted a link to an article about how American Eagle is “reaching out” and using more “diverse models.” (Really, they’re just the same light-skinned, “average”-figured people, but apparently they’re somewhat bustier than usual). The other friend commented how it’s great that the company is using much more diverse models. My (former?) best friend, who is very small and petite and not very busty, commented back saying how it’s not an improvement because not everybody is as busty as those women and it’s not a good representation of real people.

Ooookay, gurl. Sorry that it hurts your feelings that a company that you shop at frequently isn’t using models that look just like you like they usually would. Their clothes will still fit you just fine, when they have never fit me at all, soooo…..
