“Digital Backlash: How an Influencer’s Anti-Thinness Campaign Against Target Ignited a Firestorm of Controversy!”

“There are countless ways to attribute products. Other examples of attributes [we use] are fabrications, graphics, or patterns.”

Despite being largely outnumbered, comments in favor of the influencer thanked her for talking about the issue of plus-size fashion inequities and limited options for larger customers

The overwhelming majority of comments disagreed with the influencer’s take. However, some jumped to her defense, explaining that plus-sized customers

 usually face shortages on certain products, making them feel lesser than their skinnier counterparts.

“As a fat person, I have to say that most plus size stores don’t have nice clothes that I would want to wear. Simple as that,” wrote one viewer.

“If clothes are always made for skinny people, then clothes should always be made for bigger people. If nobody says anything, change won’t be made,” another added.

“Two years ago I could find sizes 26, 28 and 30 in my local Target. Yesterday I could only find up to 24,” shared one user.

It’s important to note that Target offers its own plus-size clothing section for all types of apparel found on smaller sizes.

Notorious brands include Ava & Viv, A New Day, Universal Thread, All In Motion, and Auden.

Bored Panda has reached out to store managers at Target for comment.
