AIBU to question Snag Tights using very plus-size models?

[DallazMajor]

Snag Tights have women who are morbidly obese modelling their products.

AIBU to think that this isn’t ok?

I actually prefer Better Tights but as a fat woman, it's handy to know how things might look on my body.
When I was thin, it was handy to know how things might look on my thin body, too.

Surely we know how tights fit, no?
Do they put the stats of the models on the photos?

They're not going to post photos of models with Nora Batty knees and a waist band digging in, are they? The images seem more like style tips to me.

The ones of customers on the 'this is how they fit on different sizes' is good.

There are certainly valid reasons to not buy from Snags which I can get worked up about.
Fat models isn't one of them.

I like seeing how the tights will look on my legs. They often look thinner and not such bright colours when on larger people. Plus fat people are allowed to exist and have clothes. So why shouldn't we see them.

Why is it not okay for obese people to exist and have clothes designed for them?

Yes

Hang on, I've missed summat, why do we all hate Snag now? I'm ignoring the OP, it's goady.

All brands should show models who fit the full range of their sizes.

Is the moral to this story that all fat people need to be naked? If so I,am overdressed.

There are fat people in the world and the UK. Simple as that.

So the problem is that they accurately showcase what their items look like in the corresponding sizes… Righto.

Well Snag did a whole thing where they sold patches that said "choke me", and when a number of women (including victims of DV) said that this was inappropriate, Snag labelled them kink-shaming bullies.

100% this!

@DallazMajor sizeism is as bad as racism in my books. Why is it that people think they can say these things? It makes me sick
that such disgusting prejudice exists.

Absolutely this!

I'm not keen on the kink stuff, but their tights are great. I've looked at Better Tights - they just don't have the range of colours and patterns that Snag do. I'm tall as well as fat, and since discovering Snag I'm actually comfortable in tights. I also like the fact that they use wheelchair users as models.

Rage bait.

Oh the daily fat bashing thread 🙄

They cater to plus sized women (like me). Why shouldn’t they use models who represent their target market?

You need to revise your book collection. What people face due to their race is entirely different to what people face due to their size. Historically and present day.

I'm starting to think the post is click bait. How many will head over to Snag to have a look.

Do morbidly obese women have to buy their tights from the back of a dodgy vape shop just in case the sight of them offends someone? What size of women would you find acceptable in adverts?

I couldn’t give a shit what size the women they have modelling are providing they’re actually women. Which snag seem to get confused about.

Im short and fat. After MN promised me that Better tights would be fine and would fit i bought a pair. They are about 6 inches too long. So I'll stick with snag.
