I was scrolling through tiktok and came across a video of a woman showing a jumpsuit outfit which she is reccomending people buy.
The strange part to me is that the video begins with her standing there in tiny knickers and a bra then she gets dressed into the jumpsuit.
I perhaps shouldn't have said anything at all but left the following comment
"You look lovely. I'm not being unkind but why has it become so normalised to upload videos of ourselves in our underwear? You don't have to expose yourself like that to show the garment x"
Cue a pile on and her getting pissed off because apparently I'm only saying it because of her body type - which had absolutely nothing to do with it for me. We actually look quite similar in the buff!
I'm seeing more and more of these videos and it has become the new normal and done thing on social media for people who want to show clothes, to stand their in their pants beforehand and have you watch them get dressed.
Was I being unreasonable to say what I said and am I unreasonable for thinking its fucking weird and unnecessary?
"I want to show you this dress, but first here's my knickers!"
Edited to add - I mention women specifically because I'm not seeing any of these videos from men.. and nor do I want to 😐
