What were you THINKING?

I bet it’s already reported.

Agreed.

The comments are about photoshopping, not about her appearance. Yes, there are a few people misunderstanding the discussion, but those commenting are all talking about the photographs, not about Taylor. It’s akin to articles like this.

Yeah, I agree with this. It has nothing to do with Swift’s looks, but what Time did with that cover photo.

Agreed, although earlier in the thread it was suggested that the only reason she might be chosen was because she’s “cute”, which is a bit more offensive than the photoshopping discussion.

I didn’t see that, but it’s a dumb comment – Time doesn’t not pick people based on cuteness.

Actually, that might have been in the Time thread. But the same objection applies.

It’s a stupid comment wherever it showed up. Hitler wasn’t that cute, Putin isn’t that cute, etc.

ETA: Just checked out the list. OK, Yasser Arafat was probably picked for his looks. Hubba hubba!

But he was an excellent dancer, I hear.

I am probably not explaining it very well but generally talking about a celebrity’s appearance is ok if their image/look are part of their celebrity and so long as it doesn’t get creepy. What is ok for a pop star might not be for a serious journalist who is on tv.

…Swoon…

:heart_eyes:

Oh dearie me!

I guarantee it has.

The photoshop shit is one thing, the slobbering “I bet people would pay to clean cat hair off her” dirty old man shit is just … Ugggh!

The same person started the photo talk and the “I’d like to clean her leotard” crap. Tell me it isn’t actually about her appearance.

I mean, shit, now he’s comparing her to the motherfucking Turtle. Tell me that’s a sincere comment.

I stand by the observation 100%. About her clothes and the pose of the photo, not about her. Feel free to jump to whatever conclusions you want about what is actually in my mind that you think is different than my clear words, you excel at doing that for people here.

Ooh, doubling down on insanity, that always goes well…

Let’s remember, these are your clear words:

You’re a lech, and you were upset that the cover photo didn’t give you a boner for the lady in question. Sorry Time isn’t whatever antique skin mag you thought it should be, Creepy Grandad.

It got creepy.

And now Darren’s trying the “Just joking” defence. And calling quoting relevant parts of his own damn posts “manipulating the quote”.

Rather than just owning up to the creepiness. Creepy Grandad gotta Creepy Grandad, I guess.

Sure, Jan.

We’ll see if the mods think you manipulated or not, since I reported it.

Guess we will.
