In general, photos of infants are up there with videos of cats doing funny things on the short list of internet posts that won’t piss anybody off.
But if you’re a member of the Duggar family everything you do is subject to intense scrutiny and harsh criticism — and Jinger Duggar’s latest baby photo is no exception.
That’s little Felicity Duggar enjoying what we assume is her first plane ride.
Jinger captioned the pic, “Little travel buddy.”
Seems inoffensive enough, right?
After all who could have a problem with an infant on an airplane (aside from, ya know, every other passenger on that plane).
Well, believe it or not, Jinger has been accused of trolling her critics with this pic.
If that sounds absurd, that’s because it absolutely is.
But you’re currently on the internet, so you’re well aware that we’re living in absurd times.
Anyway, the outrage has to do with Felicity’s headgear.
Yes, believe it or not Jinger has been accused of cultural appropriation for tying a scarf to her child’s head.
We suppose it’s possible that Jinger came across an old photo of Tupac and decided that would be a good look for her daughter.
But the much more likely explanation is that the scarf is simply an easy way to keep the baby’s head warm.
Not surprisingly, the constant negative attention has begun to take a toll on Jinger.
“She feels like she’s constantly getting mom shamed since she had Felicity. She had no idea it was going to be this bad,” an insider close to Jinger tells Hollywood Life.
“Jinger is doing her best to ignore the negativity and focus on the positive, but it’s hard.”
Scarf-gate began with the above photo of Jinger and Jeremy attending a Chicago Cubs game last month, and remarkably, it shows no signs of letting up.
Fortunately, Jinger isn’t letting the haters win.
She’s continued to post pics of Felicity, and it doesn’t look like she’ll be stopping any time soon.
We say give the girl a break. It’s bad enough she was raised in the freakin’ Duggar family.
