Thin privilege is being able to browse fashion blogs without coming across hateful comments about your body type, or comments that make you feel excluded just because you’re fat.

I was recently looking at one of my favorite blogs for some fashion tips for Autumn (and because I love looking at all the different outfits!) when I noticed the moderator had written a short message, thanking all their followers for their continued support and all the people who had uploaded photos of their outfits. Then at the end of the message she wrote, “You all look amazing! Of course, skinny people look great in anything! xoxo”

…what the hell? Not only did the comment come out of nowhere, but it was completely unnecessary and mean spirited. Not to mention, plenty of people who had uploaded their photos onto the site don’t even fit into the “skinny” category at all.

Needless to say, it really put a damper on my day and has made me reconsider whether or not I should even continue following the blog.
