#companies who previously loudly shouted their affirmations for plus size bodies once again moving that stock to online-only

I want a LOT more support for the body neutrality movement over body positivity at this point because in my eyes body pos gave us midsize people reassuring one another that they weren’t fat and barely-chubby models donning padding and shapewear to create the Perfectly Sexy Hourglass fatty so we could have unrealistic standards just the same as everyone else.

#this post brought to you by the dawning horror that is the resurgence of thin-is-in heroin chic #and the corollary reminder that we were only briefly a fashionable body type bc we were one component of the skinnythick trend #companies who previously loudly shouted their affirmations for plus size bodies once again moving that stock to online-only #they want our money but they dont want our unfashionable bodies in the store #perhaps this will change when our bodies are briefly considered on trend once more #I don't think like. I don't think people who can find their clothes in a brick and mortar quite understand what its meant to be plus size #always seeing your size as 'online only' #needing to pay shipping just to TRY CLOTHES ON #often finding that the fit is either a straight size simply made bigger #or so curve-emphasizing that it's difficult to wear for work #this is why despite all of its bullshit i continue to shop at torrid #the ability to try things on in store and see fashionable work appropriate clothes for an adult plus size person is...unparalleled #temeritiveRaconteur #fatphobia
