Facebook rejects fat girl advertising pic as being "undesirable" (then backtracks)

Facebook has apologized for banning a photo of a plus-sized model and telling the feminist group that posted the image that it depicts “body parts in an undesirable manner”.

Cherchez la Femme, an Australian group that hosts popular culture talkshows with “an unapologetically feminist angle”, said Facebook rejected an advert featuring Tess Holliday, a plus-sized model wearing a bikini, telling the group it violated the company’s “ad guidelines”.

After the group appealed against the rejection, Facebook’s ad team initially defended the decision, writing that the photo failed to comply with the social networking site’s “health and fitness policy”.

“Ads may not depict a state of health or body weight as being perfect or extremely undesirable,” Facebook wrote. “Ads like these are not allowed since they make viewers feel bad about themselves. Instead, we recommend using an image of a relevant activity, such as running or riding a bike.”

In a statement on Monday, Facebook apologized for its original stance and said it had determined that the photo does comply with its guidelines.

“Our team processes millions of advertising images each week, and in some instances we incorrectly prohibit ads,” the statement said. “This image does not violate our ad policies. We apologize for the error and have let the advertiser know we are approving their ad.”

Boy, they're really stretching
the term "plus size" aren't they?

Oh well; to each their own.
Facebook has a right to push
all the propoganda & bullshit
they want & feminists & anyone
else have a right to waste their
time complaining about said
bullshit.

This is why I deleted my facebook.
It's almost gonna be a year since
doing so. I think the anniversary
may warrant a celebration.
 
At that weight, soon her heart will also 'reject' her desire for blood to pump through her body, & it will stop working.

However, it will issue no apology afterward.
 
Lmao I don't blame someone for reporting the picture, get that ham beast off my screen.

Yeah, I mean being a little soft/chubby is one thing, but being a land whale is something else entirely. This kind of shit should NOT be encouraged or normalized.
 
Telling girls that it's okay to become ham planets is destructive to both their health and their psyche. Your mind doesn't work independent of your body. Having bad health leads to things like depression and other conditions. That's strictly speaking on a physiological level and not even getting into the psychological aspect of it.

Obesity acceptance is destructive.

LOL "ham planets."

I've never heard that before.
 
Listen while i don't think its appropriate or frankly mature to insult someone over their weight (for no reason), lets be honest, its not healthy or attractive.

This is coming from someone who has been average build to chubby and back to average throughout his life, i can tell you when i am around an average/more healthier weight like i am now, I'm much happier as a person, and actually have energy to go do shit.
 
Well, her fat does cover pretty much everything up. So in a way, its kind of a censored pic.
 
Dunno why Facebook recanted. If they can slant news feeds to a liberal bias they can slant advertising to a healthy bias.
 
Type II diabetics should file a class action lawsuit against Facebook for teaching them that being overweight was healthy.
