My cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. I'm saving this picture just in case.

She's a 17 year old girl posting on Instagram. She seems perfectly well adjusted and fine to me. Did you even read the fucking article? She comes off as a bright young lady. Just because she's pretty and "internet popular" doesn't mean you can shit all over her and tear her down. What the hell did she do to you?

That people refuse to think the skills it takes to hone online celebrity are meaningless is baffling. These are skills. They're relatively new compared to say, basket weaving and the making of mortar and pestles, but they are definitely usable skills in the marketplace.

I have a hard time thinking there is a marketable skill being learned through it.

Same. I wasn't rejected or anything, but definitely not "popular" by these standards.
Is it bad that I'm *still* kinda jealous of these girls at my 24 yrs of wisdom ? Gawd.
And yeah thankfully she doesn't seem that bad.

Is that Kim? And also, so?if you're thinking an attractive girl who likes to talk selfies can't grow up to be anything, then it's you who's the shallow asshole.

I just want to say, I love the fact that Stefanie didn't try to pass judgment on her niece, interviewed her like a real person rather than an object up for judging — I think it's hard to do a piece like this without alarmism or the introduction of snide feelings about a young woman who is happily receiving a lot of…

It doesn't suck for run of the mill, nondescript dudes, so long as they're willing to "settle" for run of the mill, nondescript girls. Unfortunately, they all feel entitled to the hot young ones. Even this one. Sure they'd complain that she was batshit insane, but they wouldn't let her go. Until her hotness faded,…

I don't think it's an all or nothing proposition on an individual level. I've seen big-nosed actresses be successful, obviously. But, SJP is a good example of someone who has caught hell for her features, in a way that a man wouldn't. If Tom Cruise was a woman, you wouldn't have just noticed his nose, bc if he was…

Some of that tackling is happening right here in the article that you're commenting on, both in other people's responses and in the piece itself. Here's Reese Witherspoon herself digging in to some of that misogyny again:

Renee Zellweger isn't letting down the sisterhood by changing the way she looks any more than a woman who loses a lot of weight, or gets lasik surgery because she doesn't like the way she looks in spectacles, or has a birthmark removed, or gets her teeth straightened, or any of a thousand other things that people do…

I think it would.

it's honestly his personality that rachets him up to UBER HOTTIE status. like, if you ever hear him talk about his wife? SPLOOSH- he WORSHIPS her, as a PERSON, it's so sweet and genuine and charming.

This is hilarious. It wasn't too long ago I used to see him bumming around the 24 Hour Fitness in Hollywood looking a little hungover and confused. Way to go, man!

I mean, the idea of an app on which you have to match in order to communicate is that you did indicate interest in that person at some point. Maybe their initial message was offensive to you in some way and you don't want to communicate further, but it's not like any random 65 year old can bother you. That's what…

I think the idea is that they can only message you if you've indicated that you'd like to hear from them, like swiping right on Tinder.

I have a special dislike for people who eat meat but refuse to see what it takes to make meat. You shouldn't eat things if seeing where it comes from makes you cry. You shouldn't feed things to your children if you think seeing it made would be traumatic.

"Murder" specifically refers to the killing of a human being. Animals may be "slaughtered," "killed," "exterminated," "euthanized," etc depending on the situation.
