The Mock Turtle

Start adjusting cardigans, stat!

Can you not just block them on social media? I like their tights as they don't fall down and they are comfy but I don't follow them online.

That's one of the most unflattering pics I've ever seen and wouldn't encourage me to buy their shit if I didn't already know it fits like a dream. Too busy pandering to the penis brigade instead of the majority of their customer base.

And yes, bring back kink shaming! Can we start a petition and see if it reaches parliament?

I have unfollowed them after sending them a snotty email telling them exactly what I thought of their "Sexy Sunday" social media. It's really disappointing. I've already left the Snag Labs group because it was full of men wearing their tights in 'erotic' poses (as opposed to one trans man who, bless them, dressed like something out of Coronation Street but was obviously not doing so for any dubious reason). They are disingenously claiming all complaints were about the size of the model when they BLOODY WEREN'T. So their followers all start whinging about prudes, "my 11 year old son saw this and said nice shoes"... (yes sure love, then he shot off quickly to his bedroom with a box of tissues).

I hadn't heard of Bronies, but FFS! And now they have blocked me.

Who’s blocked you, Snag or the Bronies?

I have unfollowed them, I am just moaning. Companies like Snag market almost entirely on social media though - you only know about new products if you follow them and then things sell out etc.

More widely, I just hate the pornification of everything. Also, whilst I appreciate that a lot of fatties feel liberated by companies like Snag, I feel like fetishists use things like "sexy at any size" as cover. What if I wear identifiable Snag tights and people think I'm the type of person who flashes my gussets on OnlyFans for middle aged AGPs?

Also. I will not go into this now. But. Disability larpers and fetishists also seem to enjoy the brand.

Fair enough

Blocked by Bronies is such a good title.

That's how I roll!

I'm seriously considering boycotting them. Bastards.

You’re so right about the disability larpers, Ruby. (And why DO they always seem to flock together with the rainbow-haired theybies, actually?)

Yes yes and yes! I’m all for body positivity, but that definitely is a fetish thing.

It's in lieu of an actual personality.

I know, right? It's a weird thing. "Look at my rainbow walking stick!"

Erm, are we talking about disabled people who LARP, or people who LARP as people with a disability?

The latter.

I ordered from Better Tights. They are good. Snag's fit has gone off in my opinion.

Thanks Bean. I hadn't heard of them, and have put in an order also. They have some lovely colours. I'm also enamoured by their mustard and red check Ines, so they have been purchased. They have free delivery for first time newsletter subscribers

That's what I was afraid of
