    (Yes, I get the joke)

    What the hell causes people to believe there’s a large political faction that wants people in media to be unattractive? At worst, some people just get taken out of a fantasy world if the women are wearing straight bikinis for no reason, but there’s many ways to make them look sexy without attire being totally impractical.

      I’m almost certain they’re talking about the model’s weight, and that having plus sized models is “woke”

      I quite enjoy how those who are pro senseless lewdness in advertising are often the same people who want women to cover up.

        Well yeah, cos they were taught a) it’s a sin to get hard for anyone but your baby slave, b) the only reason your dick is hard is to fuck something and cum, c) they dont want it to happen in public so they blame the cause of their arousal for their own fucked up suppressions and d) power play - if you can undress it or fuck it it’s lesser than you

      Let’s take a look at plus-size models. That’s a really good example.

      It makes this rift between haas/body acceptance and what’s really actually healthy.

      But on the flip side, super-skinny models aren’t exactly healthy, either.

      Both normalize unhealthy weight and lead to population-wide body image problems and related eating disorders. Then you get things like social media throwing rocket fuel on that fire.

      I don’t see how either is “woke” though.

      It’s got to be satire. Beautiful women have never stopped being in ads. Why make this comment for this specific post if it’s not satire.

      This is why many of them hate trans and or gays, they are attracted then realize it. Maybe still are attracted after knowing.

      Clearly their influencers are using them as a scapegoat of sorts. Otherizing them in bad faith anyway idk what you could call that not scagegoating perhaps.

        it’s like a bait and switch where homophobia is tantamount to one’s internal sense of masculine heterosexuality, and the “trickster” to them in this instance has, in their always-active woman-objectifying-minds, discretely, but almost certainly malevolently, “switched genders” with the express purpose of trying to convince the particular male in question to consider the one thing that makes them more furious than any injustice they have ever experienced or witnessed: human’s capacity for the desire for anal insertion. it’s like the sphincter is a sacred sanctuary to them, and they have not yet become comfortable in their own body or mind, so the intense jealousy, coupled with fear of crossing the framework of taboo that they have been imbued with and accepted for themselves, is what is likely leading to the unpredictable but always neurotically aggressive reactions to such a “reveal” for this type of child-man, who has become over-sexualized-by-media-or-family, yet undereducated in core values, and with likely maladaptive internal principles/ideals to fill their place in order to protect their flimsy senses of self-worth that they continue to measure by simple means rather than sustainable, comprehensible, inclusive, or commendable metrics of “worth”

      Isn’t she the one who wanted to be cast as Princess Zelda that a surprising number of terminally online folks were super angry about because trans?

          It’s actual canon in Baki that Yujiro is so strong he sees every other human being as a, “woman” due to his overwhelming strength and masculinity.

            Sort of. He basically said, that as a guy, being attracted to someone AFAB that was extremely masculine, “Hulk Hogan with a pussy” being the direct quote, was gayer than being attracted to someone AMAB that was extremely feminine, “Megan Fox with a dick”.

              Which is hilarious because dude basically homophobe’d himself into “Trans women are women and trans men are men,” which is usually the exact opposite thing that homophobes do. Usually they get hung up on the gender they were assigned at birth and are terrified that they would be considered gay based on that.

      Knowing absolutely nothing about the model… My first thought was that she was trans. Because the dipshits run into that all the time.

      They make no effort to actually understand anything and just live off vibes and beliefs with no factual basis whatsoever. Not doing a basic Google search to look up the model and verify before posting like an idiot is par for the course.

      Yeah, I debated whether I should include it but tbh I think it would’ve lost its shitpost-factor and turned into political slop. I decided it was more a IYKYK situation.

      That being said I appreciate it being added in the comments.

      I don’t know if the post is real, but I want someone to point it out to the guy.

      Edit: I’ve browsed this guy’s account. The post is supposed to be sarcastic.

        I know you meant this in a kind / supportive way so you’ll probably be receptive to this: commenting on whether someone is “passing” or not is super rude in the trans community. Just say she is beautiful if you must comment on her appearance

        Edit: I usually just assume best intentions but looks like I was wrong (I don’t dig through post history typically). According to those below me you’ll probably just keep being a crusty fucker; be better dude wth. We have enough assholes around here and being kind is a choice we can make everyday.

    Ahh, he wanted to say something else but white supremacists are only brave enough to openly share their thoughts when they have the upper hand, militarily speaking. Might makes right being foundational/the shortest definition of their ideology in the West and all of that.
