News: Obese mannequin creates controversy
Nov 27th 2012, 06:42





According to The Gloss, a photo posted by a user on Reddit is creating quite a stir. The picture, which features a larger-than-average mannequin, started a flood of comments when the user posted it with the title "Anyone else horrified that they make obese mannequins too now?"

Not shockingly, the photo instantly got attention, with many upset over the idea of an obese mannequin. Comments including "It's like the person who designed this has never seen a fat person before. 'I'll just make everything...bigger.​'


But the question is, why are people in upheaval about an obese mannequin, yet no one is upset about all the Barbie-doll-like stick figure mannequins that currently reside in store windows? Shouldn't we be upset about those as well?

What do you think about this? Honestly, I think it's about the time we see something like this because not everyone is a size 0 and look super skinny. Let's be real , most people DO NOT look like the current mannequins. When shopping for clothes people want to look that good but most cases the style of clothing is not for every one and a shopping trip can lead to frustration I think it's okay to have mannequins that portray larger sizes but do it with good taste.
