So no, “just lose weight” is not a rebuttal.
It’s a silencing tactic.
The fashion industry needs to do better—because plus-size people deserve beauty, comfort, and happiness just as much as anyone else.

Fashion is NOT a moral reward for being thin.
It’s self-expression, identity, culture, joy.
Everyone deserves access to clothing that fits and makes them feel good. Gatekeeping that is just cruelty disguised as “aesthetic.”

When brands only offer stylish, vibrant, alternative clothes to smaller bodies—and leave plus-size folks with beige potato sacks—that sends a message:
“You don’t deserve self-expression. You don’t deserve beauty.”
That’s dehumanizing as hell.

And let’s talk about the sizing lies.
I’m mid-size, yet I constantly have to buy “XL” or “XXL” because brands shrink their patterns just to keep the illusion of exclusivity.
The number on the tag is NOT real. It’s marketing.

Limited sizing is part of the same messed-up system that fueled decades of body hatred and eating disorders.
Once upon a time, people like Judy Garland, Madonna, and even Marilyn Monroe were labeled “plus size.”
…Yeah. Let that sink in.

But even beyond that… why are we acting like brands should get to decide who’s “thin enough” to deserve cute clothes??
Where’s the line? Who sets it? Who benefits from pretending that line needs to exist at all?

A lot of people physically can’t lose weight due to genetics, disabilities, chronic conditions, meds, trauma, or poverty. And even when they can, it isn’t easy, fast, or guaranteed.
Demanding someone change their entire body just to access basic clothing is wild.

I don’t feel strongly one way or another about Cynthia as a person, but the visceral hate she’s getting feels totally disproportionate, unprovoked, and rooted in bigotry.

The “sexual predator” or “possessive” trope has been used against Black and queer folks forever, and I’m seeing that ugly pattern pop up again here.

It honestly feels like, even if subconsciously, a lot of people are demonizing her blackness and her queerness. These aren’t new stereotypes, just recycled ones dressed up as “concerns.”

What does stand out is how overblown the hatred toward her is. This isn’t “eh, she’s not my fave.” People are launching full-on smear campaigns and accusing her of serious, extreme stuff.

And yeah, I love her as Elphaba, but that doesn’t affect how I feel about her as a person. Just wanna say that before anyone assumes I’m biased because of the Wicked role.

I don’t follow either Cynthia or Ariana super closely, so maybe I’m missing context. Most of what I see is just the algorithm doing its thing. But I’m not getting any bad vibes from Cynthia herself.

Personally? I’m not seeing that in the clips at all. It all just looks like normal celebrity interaction. At most, maybe she seems a bit precise or detail-oriented, but nothing alarming.

I’ve seen people claim she’s touching Ariana “inappropriately,” being “possessive,” “controlling,” or “stealing the spotlight” every time they’re on camera together.

The trend isn’t toxic, some people just don’t like seeing their own behavior reflected back at them. 🙃

But apparently, that’s too mean for some people. Because now, instead of joking about “how bad fandoms can get”, you’re expected to make it all soft and positive like, “my OC’s fandom would be full of wholesome headcanons and cute fanart 🥰.” Like… no. That’s not the point.

or shoving every gay ship into “seme/uke” stereotypes. You know, the usual.
It’s not “negativity”, it’s satire. It’s pointing out real problems fandoms keep repeating. Almost every example comes from stuff creators have actually seen happen to canon characters.

For anyone out of the loop, the trend is literally just artists joking about how their OCs would get treated if fandoms did to them what fandoms always do: whitewashing black characters, straightwashing queer ones, slimming down fat ones, demonizing female ones, infantilizing male ones—
