    Fuck off with calling me a white supremacist. I’m not saying she should be white, or she’s worth less than a white person. Don’t put those fucking words into my mouth. I’m saying this is very much a “leopards ate my face” moment. She joined into the most superficial, artificial clique on the fucking planet, and she’s bitching because someone edited her to be more appealing to them and who they sell to. I don’t give a fuck what her race, gender, nationality, or skin color is. She’s a fucking idiot, and that is evidenced by the fact that she blames an industry built on photo editing for editing her appearance in a photo.

      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.

        Go back and read the edit to the main comment you replied to. It may clarify my stance for you. And don’t swing around the “white supremacist” slur. You’ll dilute the meaning so that the actual white supremacists won’t get the full brunt of the term’s effect.

          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?

            See, that’s the problem with everyone in this thread. You all think it will stop at white women. It won’t. Next they’ll photoshop hair color. Then eye color. Then cheek depth. Then whatever fucking else they can find. You all want to make it about race, but the problem is deeper. Fundamentally, the fashion industry is anti-human.

              Lmao, it’s so fucking bizarre that you think you’re the only one who realises this.

              You all want to make it about race, but the problem is deeper.

              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.
