There's this on-rising attitude to believe that everyone needs to be represented but it only ends at an impasse. Diversity shouldn't mean everyone gets a free pass. I don't know what the point is to glamorize a skin condition. It's a disease. Who the hell wants that? This is not about representation. This is about society giving wayyyyy to much importance to physical appearance and the result is that so many people think that one's worth depends on one's physical appearance. What's beyond appauling is that instead of teaching young people that good looks don't automatically make you a better person, society desperately attempts to pretend that everyone is beautiful, so everyone can feel worthy. Duh!

It’s not about glamorizing it, it’s about accepting people who have been marginalized over a condition that simply changes the pigment of skin. The ~disease is not dangerous or harmful in the slightest. Can’t even remember who said their sibling or whoever had it feels horrible about it...yes because of society. People like Winnie being accepted as beautiful despite her skin is what empowers people who have the condition and don’t feel beautiful and never see themselves represented.

 

Obviouslt not everyone with vitiligo is a model, but when they clearly can be but are not because of a harmless skin condition...it’s a problem.

 

If you want to say you don’t like that brands are jumping on this representation campaign for money and attention ok, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with people trying to get represented.

Anyone who thinks merit is simply earned in society needs to go to college and take some courses on race, gender, intercultrual communication, and a history class for good measure. The people on this site have been ignorant on topics like this since I first joined years ago. All these years later and it still hasn’t changed fucking hell. Anyway I’m done lmao.

I think it’s a good think the performers aren’t huge stars. It puts more focus on the girls. 

But watch VS giving a shit about models and show those Z-list artists (although i'm not mad if they do that with Shawn, he is H-O-T)
