![]() ![]() Jordan is not the gatekeeper of who is and is not a Sports Illustrated model, Yumi Nu evidently is a Sports Illustrated model because she appeared on the cover of the magazine and so now fits the criteria of a 'Sports Illustrated model'. ![]() I do not appreciate how he is trying to defend his initial tweet by painting Yumi Nu (he could have at least referred to her by name) as a victim of exploitation/manipulation and suggesting that the people defending her as Sports Illustrated model are not on her side, well neither is he. Sorry, but the only person that’s “virtue signaling” here, that’s focusing on appearance and performance over all else in a vain effort to hold on to some incomprehensible worldview, is you. You don’t know what’s beautiful to others, so you retreat to a performative sense of “athleticism.” You get challenged on it, and immediately retreat into subjectivity, “well, she doesn’t LOOK athletic,” because your original point is quite obviously impossible to defend. they can look like the good guys by being progressive without really doing much, and they can also look like the victims because idiots are mad about it online. JP screeching about this SI model over is exactly what SI wanted. Nike, Keurig, and Gillette have all been at the center of crazy online “controversies” because of their “appeal to woke ideology.” You know what these controversies did? Made those three companies a shitload of money. Not only do plus-size models do this because people like how they look, but JP is dumping fuel on the fire by creating a controversy about it. Let me assure you, SI has one goal: to sell magazines. You say SI prizes this ancient greek shredded aesthetic… in a thread about how they put a plus-size model on their cover. But as you can see, sports illustrated itself disagrees. You’re saying it’s everyone else that’s virtue signaling, that’s applauding something that shouldn’t be applauded. Ok, so we’re talking about perceived athleticism, then? Because you called her “clearly overweight, non-athletic.” That’s a far cry from someone not looking athletic, wouldn’t you agree? Plenty of perfectly athletic people aren’t skinny, shredded, and outwardly muscular.Ĭorrect me if I’m wrong, but it sounds to me like you’re conflating “athleticism” with an aesthetic of “fitness, health, muscle definition, a low body fat percentage,” as you mentioned in your first paragraph. ![]()
