Yeah, I saw that. --^

Sports Illustrated, with their fat models and burkini/hijab, is dumb. Media is dumb. Libs are dumb. (is SI still CNN?)

This is the kinda dumb I like though. As long as the dumb agenda isn't fucking up our laws or precedents, and isn't terrible for our culture (like Smartphones and attention whoring), I'm down with it.

Upside...People seeing how outside of reality the MSM, Libs, education are
seems like it far outweighs
Downside...People actually believing this falls within 2 standard deviation of representation acceptable behavior of average Western Muslim (not how far I stretched that))

Unless I'm missing a downside.

(also, cred for not creating another thread, utilize an existing if possible)

To me, the downside is the contempt the corporate media directs toward men.

Ultimately, this isn't really about putting a fat woman on the cover or having a fully dressed woman in the issue (i.e. wearing a burkini). It's about them preaching to their male subscribers and purposely not giving them what they signed up for.

Men are paying for this stuff. Most didn't fork over their money for a swimsuit issue with fat women or women wearing middle eastern religious garb. We can get that for free going to Walmart.

In other words, the media GIVES women what they want, but TELLS men what they should and should not want. This is the problem I have with media.

This new development warrants a new thread. Sports Illustrated also put some 50+ year old hag in the swimsuit issue, it has grown to much more than putting a hot plus sized girl in the magazine.

Much has changed on the corporate level from.SI since the Ashley Graham move. This is a much larger pivot towards subversion.

Hypothetical: girl in burkini in swimsuit edition or fat girl?





Oh wait, both have already happened at this point... What will be next... Trannys?

I suspect there's a huge contingency of men that like thic-girls.

The "50-plus-year-old hag" you reference is 54-year-old former supermodel/actress Paulina Porizkova, who was married to Ric Ocasek of The Cars.

She was a major sex symbol in the 1980s to men in Gen X (who were teens then) and Baby Boomers. She still looks pretty good now -- to me at least. Since older men -- who have VERY good memories of her -- make up SI's subscriber base, I have less of a problem with this. To my generation, this is a major MILF/GILF fantasy. She's an "evergreen" to us, like Marilyn Monroe was to guys who grew up in the 1950s.

And even if she is an old hag to most younger guys she still looks better than that fat cow they once pictured, or that odd-looking burkini model. Here she is discussing the SI shoot on a spot with Good Morning America, which also shows some of her old Sports Illustrated pics.

Okay, that makes more sense. I didn't know her history as a former sex symbol.

Did someone say Paulina Porizkova?
