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.

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.

Oh

definitely needed that context

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.

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.

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?

I checked his profile so you don't have to. He's a typical dumbass

Given that the poster has his own Wikipedia page… I’m going with dumbass?

Definitely passes, wow! Good for her.

Haha! I had no idea who she was but I guessed right!

This... This is too stupid why am I laughing so hard

I need a vacation

Checks out

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

Worse. It's OANN

They didnt actually LOOK at any Prada magazines. They just heard it from some jackass on Twitter and fell for the grift.

Damn, they really peaked at ominous romboid shape

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

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

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.

She's a skinny white woman, read between the lines and you quickly find their desire for an aryan ubermensch

It's because there's a significant proportion of people whose preferences are something behind "skinny, white, conventionally feminine woman", and so when people outside of that demographic are featured in media, it freaks them out because their preferences are limited to people who fit within that narrow description, so wider diversity of people depicted in media is, to them, synonymous with a push for unattractive people in media.

That in and of itself isn't a problem — they have every right to their own preferences, and I have no interests in trying to convince them of anything. The problem is because they have attached themselves to the idea that their personal preferences are the objective standard. So when they see more diversity in media, and others thirsting for people they would consider to be objectively unattractive, this destabilises the idea that their preferences are The Truth. This means that, rather than just accepting that people like what they like, they contort themselves into believing that this is all a big conspiracy to try to push objectively unattractive people into media. Framing things like that means they end up seeing this as something that is entirely a political push to erode all foundations of society as part of some Woke ploy. They feel threatened and genuinely scared that there will be a future where there is literally no-one who they find attractive represented in media. Which is to say that someone who is accustomed to being the boot distrusts people who want there to be no boot, because surely they must be lying so that they can seize power and be the boot and crush everyone else.

At the heart of this is a zero-sum way of thinking of the world. They have deeply internalised that if one group in society gains rights, or power of any sort, then it must come at the cost of someone else. Some of them occasionally show awareness of the moral awfulness of them using their privilege to oppress others in society, and they briefly have moments where they understand that if the oppressed wished to take our retribution against them, we would be justified. However, they are incapable (or unwilling) to actually reckon with all the cognitive dissonance they've built up, and so their fear causes them to become ever more rigid in their worldview.

I find it fascinating, really. I am a fat, queer punk, and my existence is viscerally horrifying to them, because I am the epitome of so much of what they hate, and it breaks their brains to imagine that someone could find me attractive (tbh, it still sort of breaks my brain a bit too, but I'm getting there with improving my confidence). They genuinely believe that THE WOKE LEFT want everyone in media to look like me, even though that would be the opposite of the diversity we actually want.

They don't believe us when we say this though. Their zero sum thinking combined with their willful inability to acknowledge that their own preferences are as subjective as anyone's means they don't believe us when we say this though, and that this is all part of our dastardly plot to seize absolute power for ourselves and make them be the oppressed ones.

It's quite sad for them in the end. I've found that a huge part of what has allowed me to become more confident in myself has been acknowledging and embracing all the non conventional things I find attractive in other people. For instance, I firmly believe that the most beautiful point on basically any human body is the point where the curvature of the calf turns from being convex to concave. And because I don't feel the need to convince other people of this, I can just let myself like what I like and be free to bite my partners' calves. Even if their tastes do genuinely align with what is considered to be this narrow notion of "conventionally attractive", I can't imagine they feel very free to actually enjoy their own desires and their own bodily potential

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.

"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.

Capitalism cares not for social, political, or any other type of cause. Capitalism only cares about making the line go up.

Yeah that’s been the way of Republicans the last few decades.

That's why they hate the yearly Pornhub report.

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

Because content delivery algorithms are designed to feed you content which is most likely to he engaged with.

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.

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's a little bit of both

Technology has made everything more efficient. Even the assholes.

Both. Definitely both. Our minds can experience two emotions at once.

Hunter Schafer is 27, funny cause I guarantee OOP would turn right the fuck around and shit on the wokeness trans people in the same breath he called them beautiful and a return to non wokeness.
