Selena Gomez's New Magazine Cover Makes Her Look Like A "Child Prostitute" According To Twitter Feminists
VH1 – Selena Gomez smoulders in her V Magazine cover… at first. We did a double take, and though we’re feeling the whole bare breasts with booty shorts look so many female artists are latching on to lately, something doesn’t feel right here. Maybe it’s Selena’s babyface or the polka dot bow in her hair, but we’re confused by the juxtaposition of these two with her very mature photoshoot. Does it make you hot or confused?
We know Selena has always been a vixen. That’s why the Biebs wanted it for so long. If she wants to rock booty shorts, regular shorts, or no shorts at all, we say “Go, girl! You do you.” This is, after all, 2015, and things like Free The Nipple have got us thinking about the day bras get banned. Like, forever. But something about this V Magazine cover is off, and we think it’s the fact that Selena looks like a baby hiding boobs. Are we completely losing our sh*t?
And the “Oh no something is wrong we can never rest until everyone is unhappy and unable to enjoy the simple beauty of Latina child prostitutes” crowd says:
I don’t even get how this one is a controversy. Selena Gomez is a human adult woman who’s 22 years old, has a baby face, and she just so happens to also be naked in an 80s themed photoshoot (in case the neon lettering, big hoop earrings, puffed out hair, and jean shorts weren’t enough to clue you in). And she clearly consented to the concept thinking nothing of it. So why do we have to just leap right to “This magazine is awful for glorifying child prostitution.” Like…what? You can’t just put ideas in there that aren’t actually there and get mad at it. That’s not even fair, at least let them do something actually wrong before you get upset. The Internet Outrage Machine is like Skynet in the Terminator, just getting stronger and gaining sentience to get mad at things for no reason faster than ever. What a remarkably annoying time to live in.
Also the most correct comparison is “trashy poster-sized photos that would inappropriately be up at a rich girl’s quinceañera.” Can’t believe I have to help you annoying idiots out with a better analogy, too.
Anyway check out the full photoshoot at V Magazine‘s site. I think I’m also required by Barstool law to include “Sometheing something Bieber dick juice something something.”
