I-Facebook ivimbela isithombe se-Plus-Size Model, ithi "Uveza Umzimba Ngendlela Engathandeki"
-Delile
Ziningi izinto ezishiwo ngomzimba kaTess Holliday. Njengoba imodeli yosayizi-22 iya ngokuya yanda, kweqa izithiyo kuzo zombili ubukhulu nosayizi oyinhloko, abantu banemibono eminingi. (Futhi ukujikijela amalebula anjengokuthi "amafutha" nokuthi "ubukhulu obukhulu" kwenza umonakalo omkhulu ekuzethembeni kwabantu.) Ngokwami, sicabanga ukuthi uyamangalisa, unethalente, futhi uyisibonelo esihle sokuzethemba komzimba nokuba neqiniso kuwe-futhi thina Ngokuqinisekile awuwedwa kulo mbono. Iqembu elilodwa elingavumi kangako? Facebook. Isayithi lisanda kuvimbela isikhangiso lisebenzisa isithombe sakhe ngesizathu sokuthi sephula "inqubomgomo yabo yezempilo nokufaneleka." Manje?!
Iqembu labesifazane base-Australia, i-Cherchez la Femme, lenze isimemezelo ekhasini labo le-Facebook ngesonto eledlule ukuze bakhangise umcimbi wabo wakamuva omuhle emzimbeni, obizwa ngokuthi i-Feminism and Fat, besebenzisa isithombe sikaHolliday ebhikini njengesihloko. Kepha lapho iqembu lizama "ukungqubuzana" nokumenyezelwa (kuFacebook, ungakhokha imali encane ukuze okuthunyelwe kwakho kuphathwe njengesikhangiso futhi kubekwe eqhulwini kokuphakelwa kwabantu), abakwaFacebook basenqabile isicelo sabo bethi okuthunyelwe "kwephula i-Ad Guideline ye-Facebook ngokukhuthaza isithombe esihle somzimba. "
Lesi sikhondlakhondla semithombo yezokuxhumana sicaphune inqubomgomo yabo yezempilo nobungqabavu njengobufakazi. Ngokwengxenye, ifundeka kanje, "Izikhangiso zingaqukatha" ngaphambi nangemva "kwezithombe noma imiphumela yemiphumela engalindelekile noma engalindelekile. Izikhangiso kungenzeka zingakhombisi isimo sempilo noma isisindo somzimba njengesiphelele noma esingathandeki ngokweqile (isb: awukwazi ukusebenzisa isithombe kukhombisa umuntu olinganisa ukhalo lwakhe noma isithombe esigxile kuphela ku-abs womuntu). "
Ngabe le pic ibiyinkinga? Noma ngabe yigama elithi "amanoni" abaliphikisayo? Inqubomgomo iqhubeka ithi "Izikhangiso zingase zingadonseli ukunakekela kokungapheleli okucatshangwayo ngokusebenzisa ulimi olufana nokuthi, "Ingabe ukhuluphele?" noma "I-Balding?" Kunalokho, umbhalo kufanele wethule ulwazi lwangempela nolunembile mayelana nesimo sempilo ngendlela engathathi hlangothi. noma indlela eyakhayo (isb. 'Yehlisa isisindo ngokuphepha nangempumelelo' noma 'Umkhiqizo Ongcono Kakhulu Wokuvuselela Izinwele')."
Manje yikuphi: Ingabe i-Facebook ithi iqembu labesifazane lizama ukubamba umzimba kaHolliday njengencazelo engenangqondo yokuthi "uphelele"? Noma bathi laba besifazane babiza uHolliday "ngamafutha" ngendlela ebhubhisayo nehlisayo?
Noma ... ingabe bachemile kulo mcimbi ngoba ufaka owesifazane okhudlwana ngendlela enhle ngokungaxoliswanga? Kubukeka sengathi kungenzeka lokhu okwamanje omunye isibonelo sesimo sengqondo sokwehliswa amafutha kanye nesokunyanya okugcwele emphakathini wethu. (Bona ukuthi Ukuhlazeka Okungafanele Kungawonakalisa Kanjani Umzimba Wakho.) Kungani omunye umuntu angahlaba umkhosi emcimbini onjalo onobungozi?
Ukuphendula leli qembu, abakwaFacebook banamathela ezibhamu zabo, bebhala ukuthi, "Isithombe sikhombisa umzimba noma izitho zomzimba ngendlela engathandeki." Bangeze ukuthi izithombe ezingaphansi kwalo mthetho zihlanganisa izithombe ezibonisa iziqongo ze-muffin, abantu abagqoke izingubo eziqinile kakhulu, nezithombe ezibonisa izimo ezifana nokuphazamiseka kokudla ngendlela engafanele. Babe sebephakamisa ukuthi iqembu lisebenzise "isithombe somsebenzi ofanele, njengokugijima noma ukugibela ibhayisikili."
Ngempela, i-Facebook? Owesifazane onosayizi othe xaxa "akafuneki" futhi kufanele aboniswe egijima esikhundleni sokugqoke ibhikini? Ngokweqiniso, singacabanga ngezinye izithombe eziyisigidi kusayithi lakho nsuku zonke ezingafanela leyo ncazelo engacacile kangcono kune-curvy bod ye-Holliday. Vumela izintokazi zithumele ezikufunayo! (Qiniseka ukuthi ufunda ukuthi Kungani iMelika Ibazonda Abesifazane Abakhululekile, Ukuthatha Kwabesifazane.)
