the term “vanity sizing”
in “those other subs” i see a lot of people gnawing at the bit to bring up “vanity sizing” , and the term has always drove me friggin nuts. vanity? for whom? were fat people in the room making this decision at the clothing companies? unlikely. A shift like that should be called “population reality” sizing, if anything, and reaffirms that when “cheaper” clothes like walmart or old navy are bigger sizes than most designer clothes, skinny has always been a class thing in America for the past few decades. and ofc there’s always been different sizing in the US than other countries too, because being a different race can give you a completely different body size, bigger or smaller.
It just irks me the way formerly fat people just jump at the idea to give the same toxic skinny shit back that they had to deal with, and i see soo many people ready to jump on the train that used to run over them. such a bummer. really starting to feel that like any major weight loss procedure, people need a therapy support of GLP1s too 👀

ETA since some people seem to be confused; i am not supporting different companies making different sizing. I am just saying using the term “vanity sizing” to describe something that can just be called “inconsistent sizing” is bad lol
