{Community} Hate Is Apparently In Vogue

I posted the comment above on several social channels and one person replied “I think it’s an industry thing. We feel like models need to be there instead of celebs. It’s more of a question to what Vogue has become”

To which I replied “Well models are rarely on covers nowadays & its only this amount of vitriol, which I find comical, because its Kim”

I mean here are recent Vogue covers. All featuring women who I adore by the way, who are high profile but not a one is a model. But they all are known world wide and sought out because of their accomplishments.

And while people like to say that Kim is famous for the sex tape, she is definitely more than that. She and her family have built an empire because they are personalities. And I think Kim probably does more for fashion than most. The sheer volume of  pictures that hit the web and publications of her because of what she is wearing is probably not trumped by many.

People complain about reality tv and the people who have become famous from it but guess what? The shows aren’t watching themselves. It’s the very people going around ranting and being vile who are watching. It’s almost kinda barbaric is nature. Indulge in it and then denigrate it as sport.

And besides all of that, the fact that bothers me the most is that I find the constant barrage of nasty & demeaning comments about celebrities in general but especially about Kim and other women, disgusting.

I say it all the time, the more we are connected with technology, the worse humans seem to get.  As a society we have gotten so immune to ugliness that its become the standard.  People seem to think that if someone is famous that they are open game to be dehumanized and treated anyway they please.

Whatever happened to if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all?  Or if you aren’t a fan, keep it moving. 

And what exactly qualifies a person to be on a cover of a fashion magazine?  Probably that you are famous.
That you have influence. That people are interested in them. Kim and Kanye meet all of those standards.

So, the declarations of subscription cancellations, etc just seem silly.
