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.
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.
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.
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.
You quoted me a poem! I'm glad we could close out on a positive note.
