A TASTELESS Instagram account featuring “Hot Migrants†has been slammed as “inhumane†and accused of turning the refugee crisis into a “fetish.â€
The Sun reports that the account features pictures of “handsome men on their journey to Europe.â€
The sick taglined reads: “Their countries might be falling apart but their sex appeal still goes strong.â€
The posts, featuring refugees fleeing from Syria among other migrants, include flippant comments, including “Light hair don’t care, and neither do the Macedonian guards apparently.â€
Another reads: “Pretty in Pink. Gotta stay fresh as you try to start a new life.â€
The account also features captions like: “Looking flawless in Lesbos?†and “Waiting handsomely for a better life.â€
Social media users have blasted the site, as “sick-minded†and
One wrote: “Is this some sort of a new fetish? What a sick minded inhumane p**** you are.â€
Another agreed: “It’s disgusting.â€
One appalled user added: “This whole account is a f******* mess — deliberate objectification and harmfully reductive commentary on people whose lives hang in the balance.â€
The anonymous creator, who lived in Washington, defended the account.
They said: “There is something to be said about finding comedy in such a tragedy. It helps to cope with the situation.â€
