Same here... Much confusion. Such unsure.

Not just you! I tried to read it 3x and gave up (not the article, just the quote).

"If you like a cat, they're a dog. There are cat people out there. If you want a dog that's a cat, yeah, okay."

We absolutely do not want people wanting Shibas because we think that the journalists are doing a disservice to the breed because I feel as though they're publicizing these dogs when, as we say, this is not the breed for most people.

Same could be said for my border collie, who I wouldn't trade for love nor money. Same could be said about dogs in general, and all purebreeds in particular.

tl/dr:

Also: you forgot to mention:

Shocking, truly shocking. Great reporting! And think of all the clicks!

WOW GUYS YOU REALLY GOT THE SCOOP ON THAT ONE

Was any of this really necessary? What did we learn here?

I don't think I've ever seen Jezebel apologize for a screwup. Would be nice though!

No apology yet? Guess y'all still think this was a positive, feminist-y thing to do.

Look, I'd like to stick up for Dodai here - she is definitely not a mean girl. On the contrary, she has written some really nuanced, philosophical pieces here over the years (and she's also damn funny sometimes). And I think you mean Anna Holmes*; Jessica Coen wrote this piece, probably came up with the idea and is…

At this point, Dodai, we all know that you are pretty much just a mean girl in feminist's clothing, so this is what we expect from you. However as a huge fan of Jessica Coen from back when she was editing Gawker, this is a little disappointing.

I did nine years of professional photo editing for a major newspaper. This is simple light adjustment and color correction for print. Her dress got the same treatment her skin did. No scandal here.

Yes, Jezebel, they lighted her skin, because they are sososos racist and find glowing african americans more worthy than non-glowing ones.

The video shows that it's all a matter of light.

Do people at Jezebel not understand photography and lighting? Must this be an issue every single time a person with some melanin has a photo shoot.

It's a lighting difference, christ.

Is there $10,000 up for grabs for the originals of these images, too????
