Should there REALLY be a "Teen" Vogue?

[JurisDictum]

Vogue is a magazine where the newest and latest fashion (mostly in big cities) is celebrated. If you google it the result is:

Vogue: Fashion, Beauty, Celebrity, Fashion Shows
The latest fashion news, beauty coverage, celebrity style, fashion week updates, culture reviews, and videos on Vogue.com

Maybe that shit should be for adults?...I mean I get it -- 16 might not be too young for people to say "that girl is beautiful" even if its too young to consent. But you can just dedicate a small amount of coverage to the older teenage models.

But like, prepubescent girls? Well some don't like it...

And a lot more really don't like the 9-year-old boy (https://www.redstate.com/sarah-rumpf/2018/01/08/teen-vogue-sexualizing-9-year-old-boy/) version:

It’s hard to stay woke these days. The rules keep changing. And for the many conservatives like me who are supportive of gay rights, the activist left seems determined to make things as complicated and stressful as possible.

Yet girl at pageants continue uncriticized for some reason.

It's not that I disagree with the author. I just think its interesting that we now have people ready to admit the sexualization of child pageants in inappropriate...but only when a boy does it.

The question of "should" has been answered. This is the obvious Will of God. When contemplating existence as the expression of God one will find that things neither should nor should not exist, but simply are or are not. If something exists it is the Will of God that it should exist until which point the Will of the Universe no longer supports that thing's existence. In this way, it is possible for a ForumQuester to transcend the duality of life by dedicating their work to the Retarded God as a form of sacred yoga, no longer concerned with their ego's qualitative reaction to existence but rather in pure ecstasy at existence, and one's ability to communicate with the Universe.

I probably should care but really only got so much memory space left anymore. I can't care about everything at this stage of my life.

Live and let live, is that really so F-ing difficult a concept? I mean, if you don't like something, just move on, and get over yourself.

Generally that applies when what you are doing hurts no one else. I'm not entirely sold on the idea that Honey Boo Boo's mom isn't fucked up. We don't let children work -- in general.

Why?

Well because that creates a shit society doesn't it?

But for some reason we have this attitude that movies and pageants aren't work. At least not when kids are involved. So perpetuate this abuse....

All those kids are going to be fucked up. Even the ones that just watch the shit are probably going to be a little bit more fucked up then they otherwise would have been.

You know, we're taking it for granted that a 9 year old knows they are drag queen. Not a trans....drag queen. Like performance-oriented social behavior. Do you really know that dressing as a 1950s lady of the evening is just who you are at 9?

Where does a 9 year old even get this idea?

Where did anyone get this fucking idea? I you seriously telling me there are god damn people born thinking "I want to look like a guy dressed as a classy lady and sing at a bar" WTF? And they know that shit by 7! That's when he got started.

I never even thought about this. Drag Queen isn't even an identity really. It's just something some people like to do for some reason some of the time.

I used to facepaint and wear costumes when I was a nine year old boy too.

TBH it amazes me that most chicks don't ever grow out of it.

[Kaight]

why is this child wearing makeup and costumes that are designed to be sexually attractive when worn by adults?

lol what. He's dressed like a high-fashion clown. What exactly is sexual about that.

This is really dumb. Likely written by an insecure, probably closeted man that feels uncomfortable seeing a little boy doing what he so desperately and secretly desired as a child.

Did you just assume their gender Kaight? :eek:

I did! And it was written by a woman! I shall be lashed 50 times by my lefty snowflake overlords

[JurisDictum]

To be fair -- it could be a male editor/producer hinting heavily he would like a piece like this written by a woman. I've seen that kind of suggestion work really well before.
