I see you’re suggesting that she shouldn’t be surprised that the fucked up culture in the fashion industry is fucked up since everyone knows it’s fucked up. But what everyone else is trying to tell you is that we should still talk about how fucked up this is, because it’s fucked up.
I think the point they’re trying to make is there are much worse things happening at a broader scale in the fashion industry than this one model being impacted by this event.
And we can also be angry about those. Not every news story has to be about the most important thing ever.

What did you want her to do, just not join the industry?
That just seems like systematic racism to me.

This is textbook victim blaming. What isn’t textbook is how mad you are about this. You are so mad about this, and it’s unsettling.

Maybe she shouldn’t be surprised, but if she doesn’t call it out as BS that should stop who does?

Should actresses not be surprised when producers try to rape them since that’s been happening since the beginnings of the film industry?
And why the fuck should she not be surprised? Removing blemishes is one thing. Changing their skin tone is quite another.

Oh, okay, maybe she should just shut up and take it then?
Nothing gets done if people don’t talk about this stuff. The only power the masses have here is to turn this into a bad look for the companies involved.

Oh, I see, so because it isn’t new, we should just give up, go home and just accept racism as the norm?
MLK would be so proud.

Because white girls are prettier. And she should know that.
Jesus you are disgusting.
If my baby cousin gets hit trying to cross a busy street where many deaths have already occurred, I will still cry, even if the collision was entirely predictable. He didn’t deserve it. Knowing danger and accepting the risk does not mean you deserve the dire consequences when they occur.

You have trouble reading, don’t you?
I consider this comment to be loud and boisterous, but completely tone deaf.
White supremacy is not the side you want to be on.

That superficial, artificial clique would be an entire industry as far as I can see you saying
That’s not something that should be argued as “just a clique, why did you show up?”. That’d be like saying the Activision/Blizzard scandal in the gaming industry was people who just should’ve accepted the shitty situation they were in. People should be able to say that an industry they want to be in is acting inappropriately.
And you still have no qualms about the industry treating white as the obviously superior modification they would make to her appearance.
You just defend that industry by calling HER the moron.
If you quack like a white supremacist, you are a white supremacists.
Happy you don’t like being called what you are though.
Leaves room for you to correct that.
PS: by correct that, I mean having harsh words for the producers, not the beautiful young lady who the producers whitified.

Concern trolling, as are all accusations of “diluting a term” are. If girls at risk of being edited stayed out of the fashion industry - which was your advice - then the fashion industry would be left with only white women. But you knew that, didn’t you?

Lmao, it’s so fucking bizarre that you think you’re the only one who realises this.
Wow, galaxy brain, how did you figure this out before the rest of us? Yeah it’s fundamentally fucked. But you’re absolutely deluded if you think this incident had nothing to do with race.
Is that in the same way you are culpable for all the other knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who will follow in your steps?
Lmao
