This statement: “it sounds kinda grande-sized and uncommon” is indeed insulting. You have a right to stand up for yourself. And it is also ignorance which allows someone to speak so self-righteously.

Bones, my fangs are showing! Thanks for noticing! Watch out, I could sink them into you next.

Their buyers could greatly expand their offerings if they wanted to accept a wider range of clothing.
