God dammit earth
Maybe they just realized that it was extremely cringy.
The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they'd just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:
"Here's our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!"
exactly, i'd have gone with just posting a cute image of the otter and the text "chomnkey floofer 🙏", but i guess they have too many old people who would just think they're having a stroke or something.
That makes it fun
should've doubled down on it.
make the fat people angry, they can't catch up to you, say whatever you want to them.
Probably upset someone with influence.
I remember this art studio I went to posted pictures of a nude statue. And Facebook Karen's lost their shit because their precious Timmy can't see a stone tit.
They took it down and apologized, because Facebook Karen's make up a bunch of their profits.
I thought "thicc" is almost a compliment nowadays.
It does not equal "obese", and is more like having thick hips and/or generally being a bit more puffy and cuddly. Which is nice, and Internet appreciates it!
Not just thicc, even straight up saying "you have a fat ass" has approached compliment territory.
It's funny, don't apologise
Funny isn't allowed with the perpetually outraged crowd
I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. 😋
In their defence, Abby is kind of thicc.
But Abby is cute and also is thicc.
Needs more jpg.
It's 2024. Demand more from your memes.
That's pretty cringe to be honest.
Cringe mention!
Cringe!
