Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Zininzi izinto ezithethiweyo ngomzimba kaTess Holliday. Njengoko imodeli ye-22 isiya ithandwa ngakumbi, iphula imiqobo kuzo zombini ubungakanani kunye nemodeli eqhelekileyo, abantu banezimvo ezininzi. (Kwaye ukujula iilebhile ezinje nge "fat" kunye "plus-size" zenza umonakalo omkhulu kukuzithemba kwabantu.) Ngokomntu, sicinga ukuba uyamangalisa, unesiphiwo, kwaye ungumzekelo omkhulu wokuzithemba komzimba kunye nokunyaniseka kuwe-kwaye thina Ngokuqinisekileyo asindedwa kolu luvo. Iqela elinye elingaqinisekanga kangako? Facebook. Isiza kutsha nje siyekise isibhengezo sisebenzisa umfanekiso wakhe ngezizathu zokuthi yaphula "umgaqo-nkqubo wezempilo kunye nokuqina." Yitsho ntoni?!

Iqela lase-Australia labasetyhini, uCherchez la Femme, babeka isibhengezo kwiphepha labo le-Facebook kwiveki ephelileyo ukukhuthaza umcimbi wabo wamva nje omhle, obizwa ngokuba yi-Feminism kunye neFat, usebenzisa umfanekiso weHoliday kwi-bikini njengentloko. Kodwa xa iqela lizama "ukungqubana" nesibhengezo (kuFacebook, ungabhatala imali encinci ukuba iposti yakho iphathwe njengentengiso kwaye ibekwe phambili ngokubaluleka kwiindaba zeendaba zabantu), uFacebook usalile isicelo sabo esithi iposi "iphula isikhokelo seAd sikaFacebook. ngokukhuthaza umfanekiso omiselweyo. "

Igorha leendaba kwezentlalo likhankanye umgaqo-nkqubo wabo wezempilo kunye nokuqina njengobungqina. Ifundeka, ngokuyinxenye, "Iintengiso zisenokungabinayo" ngaphambi nasemva "kwemifanekiso okanye imifanekiso yeziphumo ebezingalindelwanga okanye ezingalindelekanga. Iintengiso zinokungabonakalisi imeko yezempilo okanye ubunzima bomzimba njengogqibeleleyo okanye obungafunekiyo kakhulu (umzekelo: ngekhe usebenzise umfanekiso bonisa umntu olinganisa isinqe sakhe okanye umfanekiso ojolise kuphela kubuntu bomntu). "

Ngaba le ngxaki yayiyingxaki? Okanye ngaba ligama elithi "ukutyeba" abachasayo? Lo mgaqo-nkqubo uqhubela phambili uthi, “Iintengiso zisenokungatsaleli ngqalelo kwiintsilelo ezibonwayo ngokusetyenziswa kolwimi olufana nothi, “Ngaba utyebile?” okanye “Izikhwebu?” Endaweni yoko, okubhaliweyo kufuneka kubonise ulwazi oluyinyani noluchanekileyo malunga nemeko yempilo ngokungathathi hlangothi. okanye indlela elungileyo (umz. 'Ukuthoba umzimba ngokukhuselekileyo nangempumelelo' okanye 'Eyona mveliso yokuhlaziya iinwele'). "

Ke yintoni na: Ngaba i-Facebook ithi iqela labasetyhini lizama ukubamba umzimba weHolliday njengenkcazo engafanelekanga "egqibeleleyo"? Okanye ngaba bathi abafazi babiza iHoliday "ngamafutha" ngendlela etshabalalisayo nehlazisayo?

Okanye ... ngaba bachasene nomsitho kuba ubonakalisa owasetyhini omkhulu ngendlela ethandabuzekayo? Kubonakala ngathi kunokwenzeka oku okwangoku enye Umzekelo weempawu zokuthotywa kwamafutha kunye nokuzikhathalela kwamafutha kugcwele kuluntu lwethu. (Jonga ukuba i-Fat Shaming Inokuwonakalisa Njani Umzimba Wakho.) Kutheni enye into enokuthi umntu aphawule isiganeko esibi kangaka?

Ekuphenduleni iqela, i-Facebook ibambelele kwimipu yabo, ibhala, "Umfanekiso ubonisa umzimba okanye amalungu omzimba ngendlela engathandekiyo." Bongeze ngelithi imifanekiso ewele phantsi kwalo mgaqo ibandakanya iifoto ezibonisa umphezulu we-muffin, abantu abanxibe iimpahla ezixineneyo, kunye nemifanekiso ebonisa iimeko ezifana nokuphazamiseka kokutya ngendlela engalunganga. Baye bacebisa ukuba iqela lisebenzise "umfanekiso womsebenzi ofanelekileyo, njengokubaleka okanye ukukhwela ibhayisekile."

Ngokwenene, nguFacebook? Umfazi ohlangeneyo "akafuneki" kwaye kufuneka aboniswe kuphela ukubaleka endaweni yebhikini? Ngokunyaniseka, sinokucinga ngesigidi esinye imifanekiso kwindawo yakho yonke imihla enokulingana le nkcazo ingacacanga ngcono kune-Holliday's curvy bod. Vumela amanenekazi athumele le nto ayifunayo!
