    She looks like she’s afraid of being alone with the person taking her picture. Because of the implications.

      Supermodels have deer DNA injections now, this gives them that gorgeous “fifty seconds from a heart attack” chic

      Tbf I think Prada just has that style where the model is meant to look a bit uncomfortable.

      That’s why they hate the yearly Pornhub report.

      IIRC there’s a pattern of greater interest in trans porn in all red states.

        There sure is, and Grindr always crashes whenever and wherever there’s a Republican convention in town.

    Is being praised by MAGA a “they use my photos to spread bullshit rhetoric” insult to trans people, or is it more of an “even they say I am valid” double-compliment?

    I’m sorry, so for the past 4 years we only had “ugly” women in ads?

    Does this idiot understand how marketing even works?

    Yeah, we had more plus sized models, because for one, they are a target market for advertisement because, and I know this sounds crazy, plus sized women also need clothes and gasp humans like to see “people like them” in ads and people like “pretty people like them” even better.

    None of this is new and this is just more Maga brain rot

    Man, i do wonder how general intelligence.in the US compares to Canada or Mexico, or Europe. It can’t be good.

      I don’t expect you to know who that model is because I didn’t know either, but what I did do was skim the comments first before posting a giant tirade and getting wooshed… ;)

        I wasn’t 100% who she was, but I thought she looked like the woman from Euphoria. (I get what you were saying, I just figure it may give context to some people that didn’t recognize her right away)

    Can someone smarter than me explain why the world is full off fucked up individuals, like why is it so rare to find an actual decent human being, or is it that the worst of us are the loudest and the so you notice those more

      Decades of the wealth class pushing for privatization of essential services such as education by slashing budgets of public services.

      Those individuals also just so happen to have stake in those private entities.

      The result is a populace who isn’t educated enough to know that they’re trapped in an endless grift.

      And the stupider someone is, the more emotionally reactive they are. So we’ve got the people pushing the culture war shit who know that they’re full of shit, and the hapless idiots that pass along the message thanks to being tricked into being scared of their fellow man for inane reasons.

      Toss in organized religion, and baby you got an ignorance stew brewin!

      I think it might be the latter. There is a lot of weird people online, but I don’t know that many of them in real life.

      “Woke” is when they’re mad about how things are or are now not. “Woke” is anything and nothing, which makes it usable for everything.

          Unironically, that is as consistent with the GOP’s usage of the word as anything else. Because the youths say “6 7” and they refuse to understand it.

            I agree, but maybe we underestimate the youth, and we are still the melders of their understanding… Thus it may be best to embrace the abnormalities and discuss what we feel pertinent. If the heart of socialism is at understanding the value of people and treating them properly… Tearing them down for making jokes in a time of terror gets us no where. So I figure, support; joke. And be there. If one asks, answer. Don’t preach. Enlighten don’t breach. The world’s fucked… But if my last day is to make anothers day better, that may be all I can do

    Meanwhile, the ad companies do not care.

    The right wants to claim these companies are on their side. The companies aren’t on their side, they’re not on anybody’s side. If they think they can generate more sales with a fat, black model in a bikini, they’ll do it. If it’s a thin trans model, they’ll do that. If it’s a slim blonde with big tits and a swastika tattoo, they’ll do that instead. Whatever moves product.

    Prada, 2023:

    Prada, 2022:

    Prada, 2018:

    I might have switched up 23 and 22.

    But uh… what?

    Like, I’ll give you that Prada seems to consistently go for models that kinda look like aliens, with pretty big eyes and generally chiseled or striking features, they try to emphasize triangular faces and chins, strong cheekbones…

    But… are these not generally attractive women?

    … I was going to ask what this person is smoking, but I’m guessing its meth.

        … I once saw a guy rip a page out of a Bible, to use as rolling paper for a rollie, rolled cigarette.

        Called him ‘Holy Roller’, he thought it was funny.

        I’m now imagining something similar but like, with an American Flag… nylon would make for like, the worst fucking rolling paper possible, both for the manual process of trying to make the rollie, and it would just be… complete fucking poison to smoke… but… I’ve seen worse… uhhhhggghhh…
