I have no idea how Americans can stand being represented like this. It's one long continuous series of insults heaped upon injury.

When someone posts Daily Mail, it's worth reminding that regardless of the truth of the article, the source is absolute shit. They breathlessly report every little thing like it's the end of the world, and ignore the real issues. It's a distraction.
Enjoy it if you want, but i'm going to protest its posting every time I see it.
"Flirty" is an inaccurate way to describe what and how he spoke about her. It was sexual harassment, live on stage.
But of course the Daily Mail would think that's how you flirt with people.
"But she's not on our team, so it's fine to be okay with sexual harassment and misogyny! In fact, we'll participate in it, too!" - The Daily Mail & many Lemmy users in the comments
Don't get me wrong, I don't like her, but that's because of her views. I'm never okay with misogyny and sexual harassment.
Yeah, I don't like her for her behaviour, personality, or attitude, nor do I find her visually coherent with all the plastic surgery. And yet none of this are relevant to the actual problems here: Trump sexually harassing her live on-stage to cheers from his audience, and the Daily Mail calling it "flirty". There's no reason to make this about Nicki Minaj when she's not the problem here.
Like, what's the goal on focusing on how unattractive you may find her? To show that you disagree with Trump? The implication of that is that the sexual harassment should have been better targeted not that it should not have happened, been cheered over, or been reported as "flirty".
'My closing argument is NICE ASS!' -Totally definitely not a creepy rapist.
Some of these comments are bordering just as mysoginist as trump, just with different politics. Way to go, Lemmy.
Lemmy does have a serious misogynist problem. It's a male dominated space with a lot of users from other, already misogynistic places, which creates a heavy concentration of it.
A lot of the misogyny isn't acted upon, either, because mods and admins here sometimes share the same views. It's no wonder women don't feel comfortable here. The few that do stay, such as Velma, have to constantly battle misogyny. It's fucking gross.
The world has a serious misogynist problem.
Absolutely. It's just interesting how a lot of people here can call themselves leftists and in the same breath say something misogynistic and get away with it.
I don't go looking for misogyny any more than I go looking for offense in general, but the thing I see in discussions about age and sex is the notion that women have no agency if an older and/or rich man comes on to them. They're talked about like helpless little puppies that have to be kept in the yard or they'll get run over.
Reminder that much of Lemmy is people who failed to fit in elsewhere or got banned for being who they are. For few months now I actually see Lemmy as more toxic community than reddit.
This is noise. Ignore it and focus on bigger things.
Idiocracy isn't supposed to be an instruction manual, but apparently conservatives are already that fucking dumb and we're stuck in this car with them falling off the cliff.
Trump talks about asses so much now.

this is what the US president is so horny about on his compaigns
Her thigh isn't even making contact with the chair due to being elevated by those inflatable pillows she's sitting on. 🤮 You think she has any feeling through those things? Looks absolutely revolting to me. Better a flat ass than this monstrosity. (And I'm a phat azz lover.)

I just thought it was ai or shopped. Her other thigh is so much thicker.
It’s a weird picture, yes, but is the body shaming necessary?
Is it body shaming or surgery shaming? I think the difference is a) choice and b) influencing people to make different choices that they are actually capable of making (ie not have surgery).
I would say her body was probably great until she chose to ruin it with fake shit in several places. Just my opinion. Natural is best, regardless, that's what I feel.
I am also of the opinion that tight clothes are more attractive regardless of body type, but that's another story.
Anyway, she has the right to look any which way she likes — she's definitely not looking like that to please me, that's for sure. 😅 I'm just surprised to hear men thinking a fake ass is sexy.
Like whenever I get vibes to watch some adult content, I will always get immediately off-put by a fake ass or boobs. Sometimes even lip fillers will be a turnoff. It just doesn't register as human to me. It feels like an android with deteriorated animatronics. And in the adult industry, this leaves me with quite the narrow band of available content, ngl.
it's not a weird picture
it's a normal picture of a weird plastic surgery
this is the ass that the US president is talking about on his campaign
Is it the same as body shaming if she chose to look like that through surgery? To me it feels no different than to talk shit about somebody's choice of clothes or hairstyle.
She wasn't born looking that, and that is not something she would have no control over. She deliberately inflated her ass to the point that she can't sit like a normal person and that makes it fair game to be insulted
It matters because there are people who were born into bodies with plentiful behinds. The original comment said nothing about surgery, just insults about a random woman's body. It's not hard to imagine how such a comment could feel critical to a person who happens to share the same feature.
It's not body shaming to make fun of grotesque body modification that looks fucking stupid.
This isn't even the first time conservatives have elected a dumbfuck celebrity to the presidency. And we're 0 for 2 on fucking stopping them from doing it. This shithole needs to get its act together.
She's kissing Trump's ass because she's angling for a pardon for her husband and brother.
i wouldn't really call nicki minaj star power; you have to have talent to be considered a star.
Surprised he had time considering he spends so much of his appearances glazing the asses of Republican men.
What a fucking clown show
I like how she threw on the blonde hair and blue eyes for the right wingers
Meanwhile the MSM are having conniptions over Obama's lame joke about Cheesecake Factory while simultaneously entirely missing the point of it. Fucking hell, America. Sort your shit out.
