Why would they pay for pics though? Pornhub wouldn’t make any money off of static pictures, especially low quality images from amateur photographers. They’re a website that aggregates video. I’m not aware of any website that has successfully monetized still images. That is extremely niche if it’s out there. They don’t…

I understand that critique, but at the same time, it’s a ~3 minute video about an affair on a movie set. I’m not sure how they could have properly and respectfully conveyed the horrors of colonialism given that context, and I’m not so sure I’d want them to attempt it.

I was thinking about a way that this video could possibly saved, and I can’t find it. If she included African people, then she would run the risk of using them as props. Even just setting the video there feels like white privilege. “Ooooh, isn’t Africa so pretty and exotic? I’m going to jet in and out again because…

The issue is not just that she filmed the video in Africa; the issue is that the video features an all white film crew shooting in Africa during a time when colonialism was going strong and said white people were doing atrocious things to Africans and their country. The editing and story line would lead you to believe…

Taylor Swift’s next #1 single: Heart of Darkness!

As someone who has been a supporter of Swifty, and I’m part black (half my family is from Tunisia, Africa), I really hope she takes our criticism to heart. I’ve really gone up to bat for her, spent time and money on her music and concerts, and she tells her fans that we’re her friends...well, friends take constructive…

I fucking love that you changed your Twitter pic to the hidden Jew photoshop they made.

He didn’t like my response : (

Do you acknowledge that a definite pattern of specific behavior exists among a definitely specific ethnic group called Jews?

Your comment reminds me like hardcorely of the “Cows with Guns” song.

Before the wrath of TeamCat falls on me let me add that Opie is a cutie and very very bwave.

Ha. For a split second I thought the cat did it on purpose. So less “hero cat” and more “unlucky cat”? #teamdogwouldhavecaughtthatbulletinherteeth.

I am also into the glittery jumpsuit, but not the jacket. I’d wear it with a sensible blazer, like a professional.

Cate Blanchett is a thin, blonde White woman. She seems to be the epitome of “conventionally attractive,” no?

Also, when people talk about how attractive KK or Beyonce is I don’t think they mean “They are attractive for curvy women.” I think they mean “They are attractive for women. Period.” At this point I don’t think there is a a dividing line between “conventionally attractive women” and “attractive women with curves.” KK,…

Not conventionally attractive - Harry Connick Jr (who I happen to think is attractive btw), Maggie Gyllenhall, Sarah Jessica Parker, etc. People who don’t really have symmetrical features, or have other characteristics that would normally preclude them from being seen as “conventionally attractive.” However, because…

Right, exactly—”conventionally attractive” is definitely attached to that thin, white, European ideal, and that ideal certainly deserves to be problematized, but I do think its fairly slippery language. It’s basically a caveat that we’re not supposed to be okay with accepting this “beautiful” person as unquestionably…

It means not ugly or awkward or distinctive (in a not-classically-beautiful way). It’s how 5’s and below shame 8’s and above. It’s become tedious. This entire post reads like everyone should be dirty, ugly, dressed in burlap, living in a shack identical to the shack next door, and working in the fields until the next…

Yes, as opposed to the Tilda Swintons of the world for whom Jezebel reserves their unmitigated enthusiasm. It’s usually a subtle neg that says “you might think this person is extraordinary in some way, and technically/according to social norms they’re pretty, but not EVERYONE thinks this kind of thing is pretty.”…

I’ve been hearing and reading the term “conventionally attractive” a lot and I’m getting confused as to what it actually means. I’ve read everyone from Laverne Cox, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim K., Amber Rose, Beyoncé, and now Pippa Middleton described as “conventionally attractive” in conversation and in print. Does it just…
