Abercrombie & Fitch Refuses To Make Clothes For Large Women

Abercrombie and Fitch has decided that anyone over a size 10 jean isn’t sexy enough for their clothing line, and doesn’t want them shopping in their stores and sullying their clothes. They decided to only hire good looking people so that only good looking people will come into their store.

“It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,”

That is an actual quote from their CEO Mike Jeffries.

I know I don’t have a lot of followers but this is something that isn’t right. They’re excluding people from being able to buy their clothes and they make it seem like it isn’t okay for people to be slightly chubbier or bigger than the average “cool kid” to own their clothes. This is something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

I’ve seen tumblr do some amazing things, and this place would be even more amazing to me if we were somehow able to show the douchebag who runs this company that his elitist, skinny-people only attitude ISN’T okay, and that we won’t stand for it.

Another quote from the article by Jeffries:

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

And according to the source, Abercrombie & Fitch has no problem selling XL and XXL clothing to MEN. So this isn’t just body-shaming and dismissal of overweight people in general, but OVERWEIGHT WOMEN SPECIFICALLY, who are by Jeffries’ SUPREME judgment objectively incapable of being cool or attractive.

FUCK

(x) I can’t believe I made a GIF set of Benedict Cumberbatch talking about a GIF I made. It’s amazing, it’s been a whole year since I made that GIF and these wonderful actors are still talking about it.

Really makes all the time I spend making silly stuff for the internet worth it.

(original post that started it all if you’re curious)

‘one of those slightly-moving things’ - oh, honey. 

I love that he calls GIFs “slightly-moving things”. I’m starting to wonder if the reason he doesn’t use Twitter is because he’s actually not sure how to switch on his computer! Bless him…

I’ve never called a scarf a muffler in my life and since it’s first four letters spell “muff” - a word I can’t say without giggling like a particularly immature ten year old - I suspect I never will!

Also, I think these words may actually be made up of different bits of English dialect from different regions. I’m from Liverpool and some I use regularly but some I have never heard of. I call sandwiches butties but I’ve never heard “radge” before. If you’re using this as a basis for writing fics that you want to make sound more “British”, I’d do a bit more research with other sources as, like most countries, dialect in the UK changes dramatically from region to region.

Also, I’d argue there’s no such thing as a British accent. Tell someone from Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland that they sound British and you will probably offend them. And that’s not even considering all of the regional accents within the different countries, including England.

I HAVE FOUND EVERY COLOR CRAYOLA HAS MADE INTO CRAYONS AND RENAMED THEM BASED ON SOME POPULAR TUMBLR FANDOMS.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

Some of the shades in between got named weird because I ran out of ideas. I worked on this for a week, guys.

Based on this post.

Oh my god, this is legitimately one of the best things I’ve ever seen here on tumblr.

And the fact that I fucking got all of these references. 

Perfection.

I seriously have to admire the effort that went into this.

Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

Love thyself

I had a strange, very strong reaction to this, because if it were left up to me, who knows how I would describe myself. Real tears. This was a powerful reminder coming from, for me, an unexpected source.

All of the feels.
