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.
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

In a just world the publisher of this article would need to submit for anti-misogynist reeducation.

The whole article is almost certainly demeaning, as you would expect of a celebrity gossip rag.

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

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

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.

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

I don’t know what this article is about, and I’d rather not engage with this segment of society to find out, but from a quick Google images search it seems like she recently (?) caught flack for a Valentino dress, which was very sheer and through which her nipples could be seen. But anyone who’s been paying any attention to fashion at all would know that sheer is very much “in”. The latest Yves Saint Laurent line is a prime example of this. As for the quality of her body, which seems to be an unusually frequent topic, why’s it anyone’s business? Can a woman exist anywhere on this planet and not be objectified and scrutinized like livestock?

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