effyja2012 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Skipping over the question if he should have been in the magazine in the first place... if I was held responsible for how I was at 15, or if God forbid social media existed when I was 15, they'd be trying me in The Hague. I feel bad because I know how big a knucklehead I was at that age That said... this whole thing... EGAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauds Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 How old is he again? If he is 18 and was using racial slurs hree years ago, I can see why that is a problem, with social media being so present these days I think regardless how much of a wanker you are, you know that racial slurs are a no-go and there's been enough wankers before you being canceled and held accountable for the same thing. However, if this was 10 years ago, before the rise of social media and therefore of awareness on certain topics became such a big thing, particularly in the US, then I think it's a bit harsh to straight up cancel him. Either way, good riddance to him and I hope we never have to endure another mess like this but I am sure MJ will find a way to sink even lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peroxideblonde Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 he's 21..still not sure it's him tho, he's still followed by SI/MJ/Janine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodshot Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 There's so much wrong with the SI Swimsuit issue now that it's almost pointless to even talk about. It's just not the same product as it was even 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensual Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Honestly if its him I dont agree with it. We are a lot less mature when we are 15, when you this young the amount of changes you go through is a lot and you change very quickly. Teenagers are stupid.

CandleVixen Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 If people can cancel and or get someone fired for racial slurs that were said over 20 years ago, why not someone who talked shit at 15? Even Justin Timberlake was “forced” to apologize to Brittney Spears over shit that happened when they were both young? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about none of that is ok and it's a major driver in the divisions in the US right. To quote Barak Obama... "This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're politically woke, and all that stuff -- you should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities.

SympathysSilhouette Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I mostly object to the idea that everyone goes around using racial slurs when they are 15? Clearly that isn't the case/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel79 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I thought Christen Harper would win the model search easily. Now I'm not sure. It could be Taylor who wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hearing about this from said designers for years now and have made mention of it in the past. With some of the suits SI didn't even bother to change anything on them from the original (same textures, cuts, fabric, beading, ect), in other suits they change like a dangle on the suit, or instead of the bikini set being all yellow, the top is yellow and the bottoms are orange, but it's still the same exact suit. Also no, we didn't dodge a bullet. MJ kicked open the door with allowing men in this year (and it was positively received by the woke audience), and just because Lewis was cancelled for whatever reason doesn't mean that in future years we won't see more dudes. This is only the beginning I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm semi-shocked to see the inclusion of Christin and Taylor since they're, well, actually attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
