I think it is awesome that they won't make fat people clothes. More brands should do this.

I hate fat people as much as the next person, but the problem is that they burn their clothes instead of giving them away. Like wtf.

That's what I'm saying. I hope this is some sort of publicity stunt to remain relevant, but either way, fuck A&F.

I haven't stepped foot in those kinds of stores before either but I did get and Abercrombie shirt for Christmas a long time ago.

It's funny because I'm not good looking...

Do you honestly think most companies give their old stuff away instead of working to keep the brand image intact? Hardly any do that, most have sales and outlets and then destroy their stuff.

Every brand has a target demographic. Its really no secret. Some brands are for ugly fat people, and some are for white, wealthy, prepubescent teenagers. I don't see the big deal with A&F's CEO publicly stating their target demographic. If you sell to everyone, you sell to no one.

That may be so, but burning clothes so homeless or "undesirable" won't end up with them is just low and completely wasteful.

Just to clarify, Abercrombie has never been fratty. Ever. You're thinking of Polo, which should never be confused with Abercrombie.

I mean the CEO's comments were a bit stupid but like who cares, just shop somewhere else. No need to lose your shit over a company selling to specific people.

Is anyone pissed that plus sized stores only make clothes for fat people? Why are people pissed they only make clothes for skinny people?

I don't really care I think we all know that fat people aren't real people. Plus without them what would I wear skiing.

Sorry I can't read your post at the moment because of all my swag.

And fat people don't want to wear Abercrombie or any of those shitty brands anyways like eheath said.

i think it's more the fact that the CEO specifically said that he doesn't want his brand associated with "not so cool" people, fat people or ugly people and that they shouldn't wear it. kind of ironic when he looks like this:

I think giving away the clothes to the homeless is really cool, the premise of the video was stupid though.
