Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I’ve only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

    It’s clickbait. The fact that the clickbait is demeaning is incidental. They’re maximizing whatever sensational clickbait title they can get. At least their heart isn’t intentionally evil, just incidentally evil.

      It’s actually kind of perfect ragebait, because you’ll both get a bunch of people going “OMG!!! She’s beautiful! How dare you, you monster 😭😭😭” AND people going “She should be hotter, what a bitch!” with a single headline.

    I wish we had more actresses with muscles. Imagine a wonder woman movie where wonder woman actually looks like an Amazon who has been working out all day every day for decades

    Target is both to hit your sense of justice (I’m a male feminist) but also engage the innate urge to see the photos. Example

    Anne Hathaway criticized by chauvinists for being too sexy on the red carpet

    Oh wow, I hate sexism so much I better check out these photos!! so I can…support women?

    It CAN work for men but is usually not demeaning. Chris Pratt went from adorable pudge to sexy muscleman, click here to see him shirtless! Not the same I guess.

      My instinct would be to click just to find out what exactly is “too sexy” for chauvinists. Same logic applies to the original post’s article I guess.

      I think these articles exploit this instinct. And I’m pretty sure it works for all kinds of people. When you put an opinion piece in some other people’s mouth, everyone will want to find out if the opinion makes sense to them or if it’s completely outrageous.

    The correct answer is to block that news site or whatever they call themselves, and don’t give them clicks.

    Imo the article writers probably feel that they are decrying the way people are demeaning her, but it’s just adding visibility for the judgemental.

      It’s a double edged sword. Everybody’s got a different line for when something descriptive inadvertently becomes prescriptive

    Incels just think anything other than questionable consent with somebody who looks like a child is actually gay.

    At least it contains the word “shamed”. Shaming someone is usually seen as unfair and judgmental.

    The title is clickbait, a regular thing for “magazines”, while the article itself clarifies things.

    You aren’t wrong. It is in poor taste. More so considering the article says the comment was made by “fans” who felt disappointed her body shape didn’t fit their imagination.

    This “shaming” or the “shit storm” is usually (and I think here too) just some Incels commenting on Instagram. As Instagram optimizes for maximum engagement, the stupidest and most controversial take is always at the top of the comments, that’s how we end up with these idiots getting their platform. And these “news sites” then make a big deal out of a few losers also as engagement bait. This whole system is fucked

    I’m guessing you have not been alive long enough to remember that newspapers, especially tabloids, have always been demeaning of women. To be honest I think headline is timid sounding compared to twenty years ago, when tabloids were more popular and running sensationalist headlines, and the picture of the person being always the most unflattering. I don’t really see that kind of reporting nowadays, but it is now on social media where sensationalist shaming happens.

      I have been, and it’s just as demeaning, but I think constant attention needs to be brought to it

    I think it would be best if they drew attention to the people who are being horrible, instead of repeating the horrible things they said. So yeah, you’re not wrong for thinking this is demeaning.

    Every time those perfect faces or perfect bodies are projected into media, it demeans us all.
