Instagram allows some risqué pictures to percolate amongst its millions of pictures uploaded every day. Whether it’s Rihanna’s proud Prada boot photo or Miley Cyrus’ butt selfies, there’s no shortage of women showing some skin — correction, there’s no shortage of thin women, because Instagram apparently has a preference.
In an impressive corporate fail, the photo-sharing platform censored a photo because they deemed it as “mature content,” despite the fact that the behind was covered by underwear and similar to countless thin women who have never been banned. Although Instagram has since issued an apology and put the photo back up, this shines light on a well-documented problem in our society: our consistent discomfort with plus-size bodies.
