Let me get this straight:
someone else essentially re-made the exact same piece of furniture, literally as a RETROSPECTIVE in honor of Allen Jones' work, and you're asking ME to troll harder?

I'm much prettier than that.
The chair is not a commentary on the fashion world.
Rather, everyone's analysis of how it is depicted in the photograph is the commentary.
My first reaction to this was "Oh shit, this is racist."
I literally did minimal digging and thought, oh. False alarm.
I am also a radical thinker when it comes to art. That this is everyone's reaction to the piece simply speaks to the reality of racism in our society. That does not mean that the object itself (or even…
This may be very difficult for you to conceptualize, but some women enjoy being sat on.
Some of them are...dare I say...feminist.
Wait! Before you express any desire to own that chair, check the color of your skin first. If it's lighter than the mannequin, then you're a racist and bad. If it's just as dark or darker, then you're good! Because, history!
It's a commentary on BDSM, so the element of degradation is going to be present.
Oh look! An overused meme! How quaint.
Um, your personal conception of Kubrick's possible psychological issues have literally no bearing upon the fact that he is one of the greatest artists/possibly the greatest film director of the 20th century.
The chair is not a person.
If it's good enough for Kubrick, it's good enough for anyone.
That you cannot see that her sense of personal style and her taste in furniture are one and the same speaks to the reason why you cannot/do not dress like her, regardless of your income.
SOOOOOOOOOO if they had just used this one, all would be well and good?
Newsflash: the context of art does, in fact, matter. Why you digital SJW's refuse to acknowledge this further puts you in the category of crying wolf. As RuPaul recently said, y'all calling out this kind of 'racism' is merely a tool for ego…
How about this: next time you want to hate on a beautiful, successful woman because of your own damage, try not to do it from behind the image of someone from a different race than you.
Don't you find your own sentiment problematic? Who the fuck are you to co-opt the identify of a Japanese geisha to express your own offense at this?
The Japanese response to Katy Perry is one of mutual love.
Meanwhile, there's you and people like you...
As a girl/struggling artist living in Brooklyn, this is basically how I feel about the show:
She is perfection.
Holy shit... say what?
I spend an embarrassing amount of hate-read time on Jezebel but have spent a total of 5 second on Groupthink.
But still... Jesus
No, for reals though? As someone with both scoliosis AND bad posture...standing up straight is a thing that everyone should do. For your health.
If you were smart you'd know that.
But you're not. :'(
You sound like you need to learn how to stand up straight. It's not rocket science.
