The point was to shine the light on hor horrible trolling is. The proceeds benefit charity.

The five women and LPA were supposed to launch the sweatshirts and explain their purpose, quotes and the charitable efforts. But they were posted with zero explanation on Revolve.

These sweatshirts will be seen out of context by people who didn’t know they were ironic and helping charity. It’s also hilariously bad that the sweatshirts only go up to size XL. If the sweatshirts are to help plus-size women reclaim body shaming, then maybe they should make sizes high enough so plus-size women can wear it.","level":0,"displayType":"paragraph"},{"text":"What do you think about the sweatshirts?","level":0,"displayType":"paragraph"}],"displayType":"section"},{"text":"Revolve Clothing Is Being Called Out For Being Too White & Thin","level":3,"displayType":"header"}]}]; var articleType = 'ARTICLE'; var favoriteImage = ''; var articleDescription = 'https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoXNDOF4kj/?tagged=revolve'; var slide_index = parseInt(0); var slide_json = createSlides(slides, articleType, favoriteImage); var initial_slide = slide_index; var initial_url = location.pathname + location.search; var base_url = '/2018/09/12/revolve-lpa-under-fire-for-being-fat-is-not-beautiful-its-an-excuse-sweatshirt/'; var next_gallery = '/2014/11/18/ugly-christmas-sweaters-photos-xmas-gifts/'; var first_load = true; var has_scrolled = false; var title = "Revolve & LPA Under Fire For “Being Fat Is Not Beautiful It’s An Excuse” Sweatshirt"; var path = base_url
