A lot of influencers virtue signal instead of actually trying to educate themselves and their audience, it’s bleeping annoyingI think some people are trying to show they understand, when clearly they don’t. Better to say ‘I’m learning’
I missed this because I’ve been busy trying to engage with all the fantastic new accounts I’ve had recommended to me but what did she say? That’s some kind of white bullshit right there. I’m plus size too, but my weight has fluctuated so much over the years that I’ve been thin. I’m not gonna pretend like losing weight is easy but it’s not impossible. Fatphobia is a problem but the police don’t go around killing people for being fat.She’s comparing BLM to her struggles being plus size? Jesus Christ
Was it on her stories? I really wish I’d seen it to call her out on it. I think I heard that Bethany Rutter did the same thing but I don’t follow her.Waffle bollocks but along lines of with all her challenge being accepted as a plus size in fashion she should do something to get more of the message out. I’m all for BLM and it’s a message that needs more promotion but to link in with plus size struggles?Not needed
Yes both of them comparing fatphobia to racism. No wordsWas it on her stories? I really wish I’d seen it to call her out on it. I think I heard that Bethany Rutter did the same thing but I don’t follow her.
That’s so gross. I’ve unfollowed her cos I honestly can’t believe that she’d say that. I’ve seen black influencers saying they feel that they’ve been passed over for their skin and their size and that’s completely fair enough, right now I want to hear what they have to say not white influencers who’ve been going on almost all white press trips for years. The only annoying thing is she will count me down as a lost follower cos of me her black square and half assed attempt at caring about other people.Yes both of them comparing fatphobia to racism. No words
I believe this to be true.I recently saw another influencer post that the body positive movement was started for and by black, plus sized women. Does anyone know if this is true?
If so, Callie can preach all she likes about BLM but she’s entirely ignoring how she’s abused her privilege and made some serious cash out of something that was never for her in the first place
Thank you for confirming - glad to hear I hadn’t imagined the whole thing!I believe this to be true.
I don't know much about it but upon exploring it after getting disenchanted with the whole BoPo movement i was surprised to find out it's origins. It is something I am further exploring rather than taking the BoPo community and ethos as purported by Callie Thorpe and such like.
(I think i accidentally reported your comment when i tried to reply)
I thought exactly the same thing... she looked dirty and like she’d just rolled out of bedI know it’s lockdown and everything but they both looked really scruffy and unwashed today. Surely if SM is your job you’d look presentable?
It will be very interesting to see what she has to sayShocking. Come on Callie, let’s see your integrity.
