    Strikes me as odd that we would be outraged that he would worship thinness while we struggle mightily to get there and stay there ourselves.

    There are plenty of ugly thin people xD His comment doesn't just target "larger" people

    but who cares, there's are thousands of snooty stores out there that target the same "ideal" demographic

    How outraged are you at plus sized shops that do not offer sizes below a 12?

    I don't have a problem with them selling only certain sizes..as you guys have all mentioned Lane Bryant, Torrid and Avenue all cater to larger sizes. Is anyone familiar with a store called 5-7-9? They only carry sizes 00 through 9. I haven't heard a peep about that store.

    I think the outrage is over his choice of words. "cool vs uncool". Like to be popular and have friends you must be under a size 10. Harmful words considering his target market is teens. He is just an ugly person, inside and out.

    Doesn't surprise me, but it's a private company. They can and should choose to cater to whomever they please. I've chosen not to give them my business for several years now, even buying for my nieces and nephews.

    Wait, I have a better idea. let's everyone over size ten go into A&F and stuff our *kitten* into thier jeans. Take up dressing rooms and keep trying on different sizes untill you have a huge pile of jeans to be re folded or rehung. Gotta keep those pretty people employed!!!! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

    Hahaha, this is exactly what I was going to say. The reason why there are so many different varities of stores is because people wear different sizes and have different styles, obviously. Exactly the same thing as plus sized stores not selling smaller clothes. As ignorant as his comments may be, it's his marketing technique and he is a very successful man. It's a private company, the clothes don't have to appeal to or fit everyone. Shop somewhere else and stop complaining about it.

    This is an awesome comment! I completely agree. I was hoping to catch people's eye with the "outraged" topic and it bit me in the *kitten*...oh well. I just wanted people to know about it. At one time I couldn't wait until I could fit into their clothes but now I will NEVER buy their clothes.

    I appreciate the people who have "half a brain" and commented appropriately! :)

    So anyone who doesn't think this is worth becoming "outraged" at has "half a brain"? I mean this in the kindest way, but some people prefer to save their "outrage" for things that actually matter. No one can argue that he sounds like an *kitten*, but a store that only caters to its target market is nothing new. Sorry, but there are more important things for me to be concerned about.

    You don't get to decide what is "appropriate" for other people to feel.

    QFT

    Way to go OP. That shows maturity when you insult people with different priorities and opinions. [/sarcsasm]

    Explain the logic you are using here.
    I think her logic is that plus size store only cater to people that are 18 and up but not below so why would people get upset over a store that only caters to a size 10 and below when you think about it it makes sense plus size store only cater to one group of people and nobody says anything but when another store only wants to cater to slim people, people get upset.

    Fat-shaming is the problem here, people. Yes, the man can do what he wants with his company. And I can call him out for being an *kitten*, because he is one. No, I won't shop there because I don't support that kind of message. Plus-sized shops are there to give options to people who often have a harder time finding clothes. Tell me how many other stores ALREADY cater to the SAME crowd as A&F? It's not a freaking specialty store. And other popular stores, like American Eagle and Forever 21, are adding sizes so that they can ADD customers rather than exclude them because they're jerks.

    Call them like you see them. No A&F for me. And I hope the entire world starts figuring out that fat-shaming (or on the flip side, saying that skinny is the only acceptable body type) is wrong.

    i am also outraged that afro-sheen only caters to the african-american

    I'm sure the african-american community wouldn't mind you giving it a try, although I doubt you'd like it.

    Why wouldn't he? The same chemicals that are in afro-sheen are in pretty much every other hair product out there. Don't let the name fool you.


    get yourrrrr soouuuuuuul glooowwwww ....sorry coming to america moment...

    I don't agree with it but whoever owns the store can do what they want with the store and hire who they want in the store. I don't shop there anyways.
