Instagram recently deleted #curvy because they feel that it conveys a different message. Instagram says it will keep the hashtag skinny but will not accept the fact that not everyone is skinny.

Seeing the way Instagram chooses to prioritize one body type over another is honestly heartbreaking for me to watch. I spent hours reading the messages you have sent about how this double standard impacts your own self-worth. We deserve better than being told that our natural shapes are somehow inappropriate while others are celebrated.

Seeing this movement grow reminds me of the nights I spent feeling erased by these platforms. Your support proves that my body and yours deserve the same visibility as anyone else.

Banning curvy but keeping skinny is a double standard at its finest. Instagram is shaming curvy women while allowing hashtags like anorexia to continue. WTF? Shaking my head. This BS had to end.
It's already hard not being accepted by the majority of society. Now Instagram is excluding us as well? #bringback #curvy
Bring it back #curvy
Let's improve society!!!
I like curvy
THIS IS BULLSHIT BRING IT BACKK

Why get rid of curvy? That's just stupid, there are a lot of curvy girls out there and skinny girls so if skinny is still there then curvy should too.
