Abercrombie & Fitch Refuses To Make Clothes For Large Women

Abercrombie & Fitch Refuses To Make Clothes For Large Women:

thegirlwhocriedfandom:

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

THIS

GUY

And the only way to be cool or attractive is to be included in some clothes line?

dresdencodak:

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

Hope you like it!

I’ve read it, went to reddit and there was not a single thread about it. I thought it’s strange.

“An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re in the wrong place.”
So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?”
Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”
God replies, “What? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake. He should never have gotten down there; send him up here.”
Satan says, “No way.” I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.”
God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?””

"Oh god, I actually have a story for this… I’m approximately 10 (the sad part), and..."

“Oh god, I actually have a story for this…
I’m approximately 10 (the sad part), and I’m outside practicing agility with the family dog, an odd little Cocker Spaniel. She jumped this huge obstacle and I was super proud of her, so I went inside to tell my dad. She also happened to hate agility, and would use any excuse to run and hide somewhere and growl/snap at me if I tried to leash her again. So, wanting to continue our practice, I had to tie her up somewhere convenient real quick to go tell my dad what she’d done.
I spotted a nice full paint can by the door that was pretty heavy, and I figured, being a pretty small dog, she couldn’t move it very easily, because even I couldn’t.
I run in to tell my dad, and don’t even get to finish my sentence before I hear the most god-awful, gut-wrenching clashing and banging and splattering.
…Yeah. The people at the insurance company could barely hold in their laughter at “my daughter tied a paint can to our dog and now we need to replace the carpet, repaint the walls, and probably replace the furniture in half the house”.”

headlessdirkstrider:

The entirety of Homestuck is “yeah you’re dead but how dead are you”

“Are you dead enough?”

“No,” says Andrew Hussie, “everyone is not dead enough for me.”

“NO,” says Lord English, “YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ME IN THAT DREAM BUBBLE”

“No,” say readers, “we already thought up thousands and one death for you, it will be a shame to put it all to waste”

I embraced those answers. I chose the impossible. I chose… Homestuck.

One last thing

Scorpio powers have limits, remember? Vriska learned this by testing them on Jade herself. All they do is make the human fall asleep.

Jade’s mind is not under control at all. It’s asleep. The Condesce is only controlling the animal part of her. Which…

Dave is on the ship in this universe, so, given his aspect he is basically already there.
