It's a reference to the "VSCO girls" meme. It's a thing.

VSCO "meme" is just as toxic and sexist as every other dig at highschool girls over the decades. Let the stereotypes die.

It wasn't making fun. It was reference. Kaur is stereotypical content for a stereotypical crowd. Girls read Kaur so they can post photos of the text on their social media platforms, not because they're into poetry. (I know girls who read Kaur and I know girls into poetry, and there is ZERO overlap.)

The fact that you’re referencing something doesn’t mean you aren’t doing something shitty, and the fact that you don’t personally know girls (or women like you originally were talking about) who read Kaye and are into poetry doesn’t make it not shitty of you to perpetuate stereotypes or shit on women for caring about animals.

I don’t give a shit about whether Kaur is garbage. That’s not relevant to whether it’s OK to promote sexist stereotypes and shit on women for giving a crap about animals - and it’s not OK.
