I see you're suggesting that she shouldn't be surprised that the fucked up culture in the fashion industry is fucked up since everyone knows it's fucked up. But what everyone else is trying to tell you is that we should still talk about how fucked up this is, because it's fucked up.
I think the point they’re trying to make is there are much worse things happening at a broader scale in the fashion industry than this one model being impacted by this event.
And we can also be angry about those. Not every news story has to be about the most important thing ever.

What did you want her to do, just not join the industry?
That just seems like systematic racism to me.

This is textbook victim blaming. What isn't textbook is how mad you are about this. You are so mad about this, and it's unsettling.

Yeah victim blaming. Those are the words society uses for what you're doing. In your defense of why it's not victim blaming you are continuing to do so.
But that's not the weird part because we all fuck up and need a reality check from time to time. I don't care about the story so much. It's an unfair situation and I'm glad she's getting credit for her work and calling out a bad player (I mean doing this shit for exposure instead of money should have been the first clue, but she's young and inexperienced and that's not her fault).
But you, my friend, are clearly upset about this beyond reason and it makes me worry for you. I wish you luck in whatever war is raging inside yourself.

Maybe she shouldn't be surprised, but if she doesn't call it out as BS that should stop who does?

Should actresses not be surprised when producers try to rape them since that's been happening since the beginnings of the film industry?
And why the fuck should she not be surprised? Removing blemishes is one thing. Changing their skin tone is quite another.

Oh, okay, maybe she should just shut up and take it then?
Nothing gets done if people don't talk about this stuff. The only power the masses have here is to turn this into a bad look for the companies involved.

Oh, I see, so because it isn't new, we should just give up, go home and just accept racism as the norm?
MLK would be so proud.

What exactly do you think we are doing?
You don't have to be surprised to find something worth talking about. We talk about unhinged politicians all the time, yet we've come to expect them. We talk about school shootings all the time, yet they are not a surprise any more.
So your solution is for the victim here to simply leave the entire industry? Heh. Sure. Because that'll totally pan out alright.
How many industry swaps have you done in your lifetime, bud? Because with a new industry comes new skillsets and completely different training requirements, which often takes years to complete, not to mention requiring completely different ways of thinking.
"This school shooter blew my legs off", says the foolhardy teen who had the audacity to become a student in the USA, then complain about school shooters.
This is how disconnected from reality you sound.

Because white girls are prettier. And she should know that.
Jesus you are disgusting.
If my baby cousin gets hit trying to cross a busy street where many deaths have already occurred, I will still cry, even if the collision was entirely predictable. He didn't deserve it. Knowing danger and accepting the risk does not mean you deserve the dire consequences when they occur.
