If these really are drawings by a Lily employee, this is clearly just an expression of the way in which overweight women are shamed. Every day innocent people who just happen to be overweight are ridiculed with the same words depicted in these drawings. Things like “I’m just saying…”, and “You should probably go kill yourself.” are posted by Internet “trolls” who think that they aren’t insulting someone if their comment is framed as constructive criticism, while others are just downright mean.
Personally, I think that these drawings are an accurate expression of how comments like this make women feel, and it has nothing to do with Lily Pulitzer body-shaming or excluding anyone of any denomination. It’s about empowerment and positive expression.
