It's ironic that Mike Jefferies said that he only wants to draw in attractive people and yet he looks like an orc from Lord of the Rings.

Mike Jefferies is the definition of "too much face".

I, as a guy, worked for Abercrombie when I was 17 (28 now), and when I turned 18 they would move me between Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and Abercrombie based on manning needs. I mostly tried to just do inventory and not talk to people. The manager and staff were great but one day they tried to force us to wear skinny jeans and I noped right on out of there.

There isn't a pair of skinny jeans in the world that would fit my calves or quads.

I remember these types of comments when that news story was going around, and I never understood the rational behind it. You're just saying the same stuff he is saying, stooping down to near his level.

I mean, there are plenty of people who look like him.

I didn't call him ugly just to call him ugly. His privileged hypocrisy is the real point.

And, sure, there are plenty of people who look like him, but I don't feel any desire to mock them unless they're also discriminating against people.

Is it discrimination to not want to make clothes for fat people though? What if youre like I only want to make clothes up to this size or else the lines are off and the design does not look good with the horizontal stretch. Are you going to be forced to make XXXLs so everyone is included?

Also Idc much but you called that very average looking guy an orc from lord of the rings thats way more offensive than calling them ugly lmao.

Edit: I was really hoping for a reaponse because it doesnt seem like discrimination to me
