Instagram lifts ban on "curvy"I think fatties are kidding themselves in saying "curvy" refers to them. As far as I can see, the usual polite way of referring to fatties is "big"A week after it found itself under fire for banning users from tagging their photos with #curvy, Instragram has reinstated the word after backlash from users.
The company outraged plus-size women earlier this month by preventing the word 'curvy' from being used as a search term, while it was still possible to search for the 'skinny', 'thin' and even 'anorexia'.
In a statement a spokesperson from the company said: 'We want people to be able to express themselves, and hashtags are a great way to do that.
'At the same time, we have a responsibility to act when we see hashtags being used to spread inappropriate content to our community.
'In the case of #curvy, we don’t like putting restrictions around a term that many people use in very positive ways, so we have decided to unblock the hashtag while taking steps to ensure that it's not used as a vehicle for bad content.'

ReplyDeleteHe was just finishing I Don’t Like, and talking about the need to stop violence…
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about this guy, so I looked up the lyrics to that song. Here's a few nuggets:
yeah I done gone ape
Pistol totin' and I'm shootin' on sight
A snitch n***a, that's that s*** I don't like, nah
…
B***h we GBE, f*** who don't like
And we ain't gon' fight, our guns gon' fight
…
I'm going right
With my n****s when it's time to start taking lives
I think that's all I can handle of digging through that filth. The claim is that he was talking about "the need to stop violence"? Riiiiiggghhht. And I have a bridge for sale in NYC. If he was actually opposed to violence his "music" would reflect that.
Oops. That comment was supposed to be in response to the rappers story. Jon, could you fix my mistake?
