I'm plus size and i took Leo's argument as why are you so focused on getting the mean girls to like you when there are people who'll love you for you 💚
That’s exactly how I took it too!
Exactly! Leo did explain himself, but to me, he was really just saying go to brands that genuinely care about you! These brands know that there’s many people of different sizes and colors. I get that it’s a struggle, but I think he’s saying to find satisfaction in places where you’ll truly get it.
Bc there are barely any brands that do…. That is the problem
yesss!!
Basically thats what he said. But people seemed to have completely overlooked the message and focused solely on the tone he used to deliver it. And from that people were inferring a bunch of things he did not say, simply bc they felt triggered. Which is understandable, but also, your triggers are no one else’s responsibility to avoid. Period.
I disagree with the statement of don't waste your energy, because without someone "wasting their energy" there will never be change. It's exactly yhe same thing as a few years back with foundation shade range. Brands getting called out lead to change, no one can argue with that. I feel the same way about fashion brands, they'll never be inclusive if people don't demand change
Someone’s skin color cannot be changed but being overweight/obese can, there’s a huge difference. People are not born into being obese/fat and even if they are, it can be changed. Those who say otherwise are just making excuses. As a plus size woman, I don’t support stores that don’t support me. Instead I focus my time on money on the stores that do. That’s all Leo was saying. But with all that said, I do agree that if people wanna waste their energy fighting for what they truly believe in that is their right and their business!
@@noblebynature777ugh negative some people have different sicknesses that makes them gain weight, have more water retention etc and some people are literally unableeee to change their big bodies, do some research 😉
I hate to break it to you, but companies dont simply change bc they are called out and suddenly they feel morally obligated to. They expanded the shade range after seeing they could make more money from it. Period. There is primarily the financial aspect, the social aspect comes second (if it comes in consideration at all) but they will market it as if it’s their primary motivation for change. Same thing with retail. If it was undeniably more profitable for companies to make the changes in their plus size clothing, trust me, they would have already done it. But if its not in their interest, there is no amount of activism or calling out that will convince them to change and loose money in the process. Its as simple as that. So if people who are complaining about it want to actually make this change happen, they should start by looking into making their demands look financially appealing for companies. And I mean really looking into the whole production chain and knowing all the costs that go into making these clothes and how that will reflect in prices and demand. Not just going on tiktok and sayingn “ if they made plus size clothes, we would buy it!!”. Be thorough about it
This is what’s funny. People can’t change their god given production of melanin. You CAN choose to not be so large that you can’t find clothes to fit in. Large people are a burden on society anyway. Just overgrown toddlers demanding people make tent sized clothes because they can’t control the space between their hand and their mouth. Absolutely embarrassing.
I agree with you, he just started too strong and his message was lost in translation
The podcast and a video on your personal channel in the same day, I feel blessed ❤😂
Him saying that the clothes arent whats not flattering, its the body thats not flattering, seems a bit like a lazy argument on behalf of the clothing brands. They can make clothes that flatter a large body (and im talking about the plus sized clothing lines that are supposed to but dont). They should be better about that and they shouldnt be making money when so much of it is thoughtless lazy design.
had no idea what was going on love getting the info from you congrats on keeping off over 70lbs that is amazing i lost about 35 kept off 30 for almost 2 years now, best and love from Canada!
Love that you play devils advocate and elaborate 🫶🏼
Not everything is for everyone. Even influencers, he’s not for everyone He’s for people that’ll understand him
Agreed. But people these days will engage more with content they despise than with content they identify with. Thats is real!!
Please do a follow up bc he did a new tiktok explaining his reasoning & would love to know what u think. 💕💕
I have pretty bad ADHD and am very blunt and suck at communicating. I feel Leo so hard rn
I love you and Leo. Been watching you for like 8 years lol and I feel like I see parts of myself in you. I think there’s nothing wrong with being blatant but I think with such a sensitive issue it’s hard to not say something offense. I think Leo’s intent was good and I agree with him however I am no longer plus size (I’m now medium lol) so I don’t want to speak for anybody else
I agree 100% with what he was saying and the reason is I went from 119 pounds. I was a size 0 0 now that was many many years ago and then I got pregnant. I shot up to 365 pounds have my baby lost it same thing happen next time lost it all but then my mom and my grandma died and I gained it all back. I went from 120 pounds to 385 pounds within 3 to 6 months because I was sitting in my big butt on the couch, eating chips and cookies and I was so depressed. Yeah I had a really hard time finding clothes, but I made myself that way most of my family and my mother side is very obese sung by some because of health reasons. And if we are going to shoes to put cakes and cookies and I’m saying that’s only to the ones who are shooting to live in overweight lifestyle, not medical issue reasons then you can’t have the world revolve around you. Nobody is going to make full figure hallways and bigger beds and bigger anything because you wanna gain weight and stay big and unhealthy. No, not everybody who is overweight is unhealthy. That is why I said this is just reflecting the ones who choose that lifestyle, I can barely breathe. I could barely walk. I had to hold my stomach when I walk because I’m only 5 foot of mine and I lost all the weight took me four years to take off work put in six months if you want to choose to be overweight and you can’t find the right size clothing you better become a seamstress and stop thinking that the world should revolve around you!!
Then why does the world revolve around skinny people who decided who it revolve around and which is more to be catered to??? America is a majority of plus size men and women so why should the world around them not reflect choices for them as well
I agree with what I assume is the intention behind Leo's messaging. Support and put your money where it's welcome. However, I slightly disagree with the notion of advocacy, which I don't think he was referring to. The fashion and beauty industries have long struggled with inclusivity issues. Advocating for better industry standards is important, but this responsibility doesn't solely fall on specific brands. I strongly support body neutrality. And we can influence the market by encouraging the creation of products for larger bodies, disabled bodies, various skin tones, and more, through our purchasing choices.
the kid comment at the end is the PERFECT EXAMPLE of me misspeaking omg yes!!
The point is, the public’s IQ is room temperature and majority of people online cannot comprehend basic facts and points. The public is far too sensitive and it’s wildly concerning.
I would’ve thought he didn’t mean harm if he didn’t post snapchats laughing and making “fat people” jokes. Soooo idk if his intentions were that great tbh. Either way he doesn’t buy my clothes or pay my bills so …it doesn’t bother me
It really was the wording (also came off as kind of being apologist to brands that refuse to make plus size). I honestly get what he saying though, don't let the brands that never make your size get to you, there are others that will and may even look better on you.
With that said, phrasing is very important cause he sounded again apologist to the brands and the beginning was harsh kind of coming off like our bodies are the things that aren't flattering.
Leo's argument is very tone deaf. It sounds like the people who don't understand why people call makeup brands out for their awful shade range. Yes, we can support the brands that support us but we can also call brands out along the way.
thank u SO MUCH for giving a nuanced take on this and not just hating like everyone else without critically thinking hahaha
Boy please he did said your body isnt flattering
Two in one day! 🎉
I think the lack of comprehension skills and the fact that people cherry pick what they want that ends up skewing the entire message and then spreading what is essentially misinfo because of that, is concerning. Tess Holliday obviously didn't listen to the entire video and spreading that to millions is scary. Especially because he does follow it up without being as hateful as everybody is assuming he is. That being said, I also can't expect brands to be able to predict how everybody's body will look when larger- proportions vary greatly at a certain point, and weight is carried differently, body composition is different for everybody. They should try to accommodate but they can only do so much. idk
❤❤❤
I agree with him so much lol im fat to 😂 us fat people are way too sensitive not everything Hass to be for overweight people period !!!
❤❤
Idk why anyone still follows leo after that video he posted detailing his plan/fantasy about mutilating his ex and everyone they loved (pets included). His fatphobia is the *LEAST* of his problems.
He's actually right tho 😭. We NEED him. Watch people in 10 years say he was ahead of his time.
The end was still bad comparing a shoe size stop it
He didn’t mean any harm
I get where he's coming from, but coming from a big girl and a follower it was harsh no matter how he worded it. But I do get what he's saying. I guess the truth hurts.
How's it true though universally fashion and things in the world seats etc cater to skinny people so who decided that these things should be catered to skinny people why not universal inclusivity thatd be more income even for these brands they don't do it for VANITY reasons they don't like fat people and would be appalled to see fat people in their clothes and that is not ok
@@lg8405 nobody said it was okay, these companies know us big people exist and don't care. We are not what they want and but there are 5 other companies that do. It's just a preference.
🤔🤔
Fatphobia doesnt exist.
I first pls pin
I think Trisha responded from hurt feelings. Her follow up responses asking about her body and how she makes people feel and asking if her fatness triggers people cuz she doesn’t wanna be triggering and all that. You watched it you know what she said 😂 but it low key made me sad Frfr
