In an interview to promote her new plus size collaboration with 11 Honoré over the weekend, Dunham described the narrow parameters of the bodies deemed appropriate for mainstream celebration. US Weekly began its article on the subject with the words: "The real her." Despite all that hype, Kardashian's image bore little resemblance to anything most women could relate to.Ĭoincidentally, just as Sienna Mae Gomez was reckoning with her place in the skewed world of mainstream body positivity, Lena Dunham was breaking down the movement for the New York Times. The headlines suggested this was a relatable moment, an occasion to celebrate women's imperfections. In January, E!, Glamour, Yahoo, Seventeen, US Weekly and a variety of other outlets all carried stories about the fact that Khloe Kardashian had "proudly" shown off her stretch marks in an Instagram post. ("NO NORM IS THE NEW NORM," the cover lied.) In 2017, Vogue hyped up the fact that Ashley Graham would be the first plus size model to grace its cover, only to hide her body in a line of Vogue's regular models. (That particular underwear came with a 32-inch waist.) In 2018, Everlane prominently used an extra-curvy model named Chloé Vero in the ad campaign for its underwear launch-only to cap the largest size at XL. (It was left to Schumer herself to point out on Instagram that presenting her body as plus size was damaging to young women.) In 2016, Glamour magazine added Amy Schumer to the cover of its plus size issue, despite the fact that she was a size 6-8 at the time. But Gomez has also been benefiting-through no fault of her own-from a mainstream culture that has, for years, co-opted the ideas of "body positivity" without actually celebrating fat bodies.Įxamples, unrelated to either Gomez or TikTok, are not hard to come by. And her age is undoubtedly a factor in some of the issues she's experiencing with her personal brand. On a brighter note, welcome back Thickanna! We've missed you.Gomez certainly has a healthier attitude toward food and self-love than a great many other TikTok personalities. Consider yourselves, Spags and Barstool, forever canceled. There are just no words to address how frustrating this non-apology is, in fact, the word "apology" itself is not used once – nor did Spags retract his words. This line right here? "A world of ladies shaped like the Hindenburg loaded into one-piece bathing suits may be on the horizon now that Rihanna is traipsing around out there looking like she's in a sumo suit." Well that's neither. So if you're gonna blog about Rihanna gaining weight you better be funny as fuck and you better make it bullet proof. There are just certain topics that you better nail if you're gonna write about them because you know they are hot button issues for us. It wasn't that funny either and I could have told you with absolute certainty that feminists would hate it and use it as an example of "there goes Barstool being Barstool again".
Spags then decided to apologize in the face of all the "cyber bullying", chalking up the response to just not being "that funny" and of course, those dang "feminists." To be honest I don't think the blog was as bad as many are making it out to be, but I'll tell you this. There's no repercussions bc this is what the site + readers want. This is the kind of dude who would give his left foot to Rihanna if she asked him for it in person, or perhaps has never felt the touch of a woman – and you can bet the Internet came down on "Spags" very, very hard.īarstool has always treated women like shit. "With all the fat acceptance and "love me as I am" crowd, there's definitely a world where I could see chicks see Rihanna make some strong "I don't give a fuck I just love pizza" quote that goes viral and bam we're in a world where all the hottest girls look like the humans in Wall-E.A world of ladies shaped like the Hindenburg loaded into one-piece bathing suits may be on the horizon now that Rihanna is traipsing around out there looking like she's in a sumo suit."
He continues, that seeing Rihanna "pushing 180" is not a world he wants to live in. The author, clearly a sexist who goes by the name of Spags (of course he does!), expresses concern as to what this might mean for him, as he just isn't a "chubby chaser." Can you imagine? Just in time for summer?
While there was a whole heap of support from the Navy, a certified bro over at sports site Barstool found the recent images of Rihanna personally insulting and mused whether the singer was about to start a whole "trend" of fat women, just in time for summer. Okay Thickanna i see you 👀😍 - dunja 🌴 🌴)
