Lol! I wrote that bit about ugly people and just saw this thing where a liberal immediately interpreted that to mean "black people." Wtf! Man, that's really gross to think black = ugly. The left is crazy racist. |
Pp here again, I will elaborate. When I wrote this, I was reflecting on how American Eagle made us suffer through years of models baring armpit hair, physiques with proportions that no one even pretends to find attractive or aspirational, faces with dead eyes and short tufts of wiry blue hair. They even had a model with a colostomy bag, which is fine, but I shouldn't have to look at the colostomy bag! I dont make people look at MY toilet! Now that the tide has turned, they have Sydney Sweeney and other gorgeous models. And you might say, why does art need to be beautiful? It doesn't. But the right tends to prefer beauty while the left prefers ugly. |
Yeah when that runs out what do you have? Answer the OP question. |
That’s because the comment was made within the context of a discussion of race and DEI (reminder: this is a thread about DEI, which does not include fat people or ugly people), so it came across as “so glad I no longer have to look at black people in ads”. The right loves to say vague shit like this, then try to weasel their way out by claiming “oh no, that’s not what I meant”. God forbid you ever actually say what you mean. |
We’re not owned yet. Maybe if you close some more rural hospitals and teach your kids more fake history and shoot yourselves in the foot a few more times. |
They’ll have an empty life ruled by a gnawing hatred that can never be sated. |
I thought the same thing when I saw that comment. PP made a connection in their head but didn’t explain it very well. The explanation only dug the hole deeper. Talk about really gross. The hypocritical sanctimony of “how dare you accuse me of finding black people ugly” and then going on a rant about how icky people with disabilities are. |
I’m a former WMATA employee and I now know you don’t know what the frack you are spewing. The majority of WMATA employees are white. You think you understand the underbelly of wmata because you ride a bus. You know nothing. |
DP. This is straight up false. Did you not see PP’s link? Around 75% are black. https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/upload/2022-2025-Equal-Employment-Opportunity-Program.pdf |
It would never have even occurred to me that people would equate black with ugly. We live in an age where Beyonce and Zendaya are A listers. It is just not a natural conclusion, even in the context of DEI. DEI in ads was absolutely all about an androgynous aesthetic in which body hair was prominently featured and other items, like colostomy bags, were front and center. Look at Ella Emhoff's modeling work. Half the time she had visible, pus filled zits, usually had her eyebrows grown together like Frida, and wore her hair in an unfeminine way. This is all unnecessary. Normally people would do something about the giant zits before the photo shoot. But the woke agenda is to make us pretend this is the preferred, most attractive look. It's not. It's not making fun of people with disabilities to say you dont want to look at colostomy bags while shopping for jeans. In normal life, I've never seen someone just letting it all hang out there. This "look at my armpit hair" "look at my poop bag" "it's all as beautiful as Sydney Sweeney" is just gas lighting and gross. |
And maybe some of us don’t want to look at airbrushed, underweight models and be gaslit into thinking we’re inadequate because we don’t measure up to a fake ideal of Photoshopped perfection. |
This is the social compact breaking down. We need urgency to restore it: 1 - Mass [twitter]deportations 2 - Stop the H-1B scam 3 - Dramatically reduce LEGAL Immigration 4 - End chain migration and the Visa Lottery 5 - Build 10 million homes for Americans 6 - Crush the College Cartel [twitter] https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1956044288573497681?s=46[/twitter] |

No, we need people to start honoring the social compact again and stop voting for people to burn it all down. |
NP. DEI absolutely includes fat people. Where have you been? Did you miss the entire size inclusivity movement? I agree that the immediate jump to Black people was insanely racist. |
