    What did you want her to do, just not join the industry?

    That just seems like systematic racism to me.

      1. Join a toxic industry that has been exploiting people for a century.
      1. Find something else to do.

      I just don’t get why everyone is arguing that she should be allowed to be upset about this. This is fucking FAR from the first time the fashion industry has fucked someone over. This isn’t a situation that she was trapped in to. She has choices. She can just not be a model, or even just not be a model in the most toxic part of the industry, which is the runway. It’s like someone who walks into a kiln and then complains about how hot it is, and then expects other people to take their side. It’s a fucking kiln. All the warning signs are there. The fashion industry is a waste of human endeavor and should be razed to the ground. I’m not going to celebrate someone on the inside saying how bad things are. I fucking know how bad things are, EVERYONE DOES. It’s her fucking fault for getting into it in the first place. Hopefully she gets out before she becomes the role model for some other poor girl who gets involved in that shit. The world doesn’t need more Cindy Crawfords and Tyra Banks. I dare say the world will be a better place if we never have another one, again.

        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.

          This is textbook victim blaming.

          I love how that is the knee-jerk reaction whenever someone says that another should be held accountable for their decision. Awe. The poor girl made a terrible life choice and has to deal with the consequences. I’m not victim blaming, I’m saying that maybe she shouldn’t have gotten into the modelling industry with the expectation that she’d be treated like a human. I guess everyone believes that with hard work and/or a pretty face, doors should just open. Sometimes the toxic industry that you’ve been warned about is just as fucking bad as everyone says. Fucking shocker. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

            Yeah victim blaming. Those are the words society uses for what you’re doing. In your defense of why it’s not victim blaming you are continuing to do so.

            But that’s not the weird part because we all fuck up and need a reality check from time to time. I don’t care about the story so much. It’s an unfair situation and I’m glad she’s getting credit for her work and calling out a bad player (I mean doing this shit for exposure instead of money should have been the first clue, but she’s young and inexperienced and that’s not her fault).

            But you, my friend, are clearly upset about this beyond reason and it makes me worry for you. I wish you luck in whatever war is raging inside yourself.

              Yeah, I’m probably gonna do something crazy later on, like microwave some left-overs and play a video game. I’m a loaded cannon, watch out, world. Fuck your condescension.

                You’ve been in this thread for hours vehemently arguing over pointless bullshit. You say everything is perfectly normal, but your actions speak louder than words. This isn’t normal or healthy.

                  My pastime is arguing with strangers online. It helps relieve the stress from my work day. Yours is making creepy comments on lewd photos that women post on this site. How about we just go out separate ways and try to enjoy our respective evenings.

                    If I cared what anyone thinks about me interacting with sex workers I wouldn’t’ve have posted. I comment on all kinds of things. But you know that from creeping on my posts.
