cmv: if Instagram proved anything, it is that every body type is loved, just not by people who they want them to love th

They said men want only super feminine and thin, short to mid height women for decades and there was a very strong activism about it. But looking at Instagram and women who share themselves as main focus (as in not art or travels or work, but their own looks, photos);
Very tall women have massive follower counts.
Very muscular women have very big follower counts.
Very masculine looking women have very big follower counts.
Very short haired women have very big follower counts.
Very hairy women have very big follower counts.
Very overweight women have very big follower counts.
Only thing it isn't always the type of guys who are following, liking and commenting on their posts.

Without overthinking it, the wording alone shifts how people read this so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the key detail here. Interested to see the follow-up. That’s just my read on it.

Real talk, the signal is clear, the strategy less so This could age very differently in a week.

Putting bias aside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s what people are responding to

At this point, this reads stronger on paper than in practice Feels like there’s more coming here.

From where I sit, this feels more about execution than intent which turns this into more of a debate

To be fair, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where people will push back Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

I get the idea, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s what people are responding to Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

Putting bias aside, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what makes this interesting.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that friction is hard to ignore We’ll see how people react over time. At least from my perspective.
