I agree. It’s the pose that bothers me.

I can’t quite articulate it myself so relied on Google:

—

The use of a knock-kneed (pigeon-toed) stance as a sexually suggestive or stylized pose is heavily prominent in contemporary visual media, particularly within anime, manga, gaming, and online fashion subcultures. [1]

While medically known as genu valgum, the deliberate exaggeration of this posture in illustration and photography relies on distinct psychological and cultural tropes. [1, 2, 3]

The Cultural Tropes Behind the Pose
The "Innocent & Vulnerable" Tropes: In visual storytelling (especially East Asian pop culture formats like anime or kawaii culture), turning the knees inward and feet toward each other is a visual shorthand for submissiveness, shyness, or clumsiness. This structural vulnerability is often weaponized as a sexualized dynamic, associating a lack of physical balance or power with sexual availability or a "damsel in distress" archetype. [1]

The Infantilization Critique: Critics frequently note that drawing or posing adult women with severe knock-knees mimics the natural bone structure and uncoordinated stance of young children or toddlers. When applied to adult figures in pin-up or suggestive media, it crosses into an intentional aesthetic of infantilization, aiming to project a "pure" or "helpless" persona that appeals to specific fetishes. [1, 2]

Anatomical Exaggeration (The "Hourglass" Effect): From a purely geometric perspective in pin-up illustration, pushing the knees together while keeping the feet slightly apart naturally forces the hips to tilt backward and outward. This exaggerates the curvature of the hips, thighs, and buttocks, framing the pelvic area prominently even while presenting a "modest" upper body posture.

Doll-Like Objectification: Rigidly holding the knees together can create a rigid, highly stylized silhouette resembling a plastic fashion doll or action figure. This removes organic, fluid movement and reduces the subject to an artificial, posed object. [1]

The Contrast with Reality
While subcultures and pin-up photography use the stance for a specific aesthetic effect, in reality, knock-knees are simply a common skeletal variation. Many individuals have this alignment naturally due to genetics, hip structure, or childhood development, completely separate from any sexual or performative context. [1, 2]

To explore this visual dynamic further, let me know if you want to look into:

What would be more based if she looked serious, not sticking her tongue out like it's Rio Carnival

Imagine being a Muslim kid who has endured racist taunts and bullying at school and on the streets (go home @&$¥%#!!).

Then one day you get asked a bunch of questions about antisemitism, but not Islamophobia. What do you take from that?

How does that make you feel about the country you live in? That you belong, that you’re an equally valued member of society?

I hope those kids get to see videos like this one.

Pretty much the first few comments in the Fauxmoi post.

It’s so infuriates me that these beatings and killings go on for decades, and nothing happens. Then it happens to a middle aged white American Jewish woman* and even Zio apologist king Jake fucking Tapper can’t sidestep it. So proud of her shutting down his attempt to blame extremist politicians. As if this is going to stop with the election of a new government.

• Even the murder of a middle-aged American Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh didn’t get this level of cut-through.

Obviously not going to criticise people who can’t have children and have the means to use a surrogate, but this seems way too on-brand for a party girl socialite who pays for someone else to do all the work.

Paris Hilton has children?!?

Iced matcha and a vape in one hand is such a mood

Omg his mom and dad are still together, and she looks like a regular non plastic person!

There is some normality in the world!

And go to the gym to do crunches until I had abs like Millie’s

Let us not be labouring under the impression that her legs or any other part of her body look like that in real life. In our AI dominated world, it’s easy to forget that Photoshop (ie; the digital scalpel) and its progenitors, have been altering women’s bodies as long as art has existed.

Sidenote: it bugs me that a 40-year-old woman who has graduated to ‘mom’ roles like The Housemaid, is still being portrayed as an early 20s waif.

Didactic!

Damn, talk dirty to me!

Use of sophisticated language so hot 😅

You know what really blows my mind? Jean Luc Brunel, Epstein’s European connection also killed himself in prison. Why is that not more of a story?

I think the depressing but unsurprising truth is that there was a relatively recent swing towards more normal body shapes, but they just didn’t sell. Everything in the fashion industry is about selling. For boards and CEO’s, maximising shareholder value is the only metric that matters. The psychological harm to society is someone else’s problem.
😭

The way she’s dancing at the start suggests to me that she’s drunk.

I wonder what an elephant’s sense of smell is like. Did they have bananas in their backpack? Or was this just people = food?

Hey you’re the robbing the old Jewish couple guy! That was laugh out loud funny!

🔥

Lost in Translation, when the director is yelling at the Bill Murray character 👍

When people freak out about AI, they’re thinking of Terminator scenarios.

But imagine if something like a nation’s banking was wiped out.
It’s all electronic now. No one has any cash. People can’t get paid. Companies can’t receive payments. Within a couple of days you’d have hungry people looting supermarkets. That’s a far more realistic scenario than death robots mowing everyone down at Elon Musk‘s command

I literally just made this comment about Emrata

It's so... undignified

Is autopornifying a word?

She's 35 years old ffs.

That would be more interesting that the one biggest company per country.

In a world where the West was Islamic and the Middle East was Judeo-Christian, these guys would be the suicide bombers.

Holy shit.

You want to get banned? Cause this is how you get banned!

In a lot of subs anyway.

Ball gargling. LOL awesome.

That first photo isn’t real.

It can’t be.

Edit: yeah all of these photos are fake as fuck.

Besides, there is absolutely no way on earth Bezos would have his hand on Xi’s shoulder

Jesus, let’s not use the word oral and circumcision in the same sentence!!

Immediately made me think of the hideous ultraorthodox practice which I won’t repeat here but you’re free to Google.

Younger sub members may not know this, but when massive attack became huge during the Gulf War, the British government banned their name, so for awhile they just went by massive. It was overturned at some point but you get the gist.

Edit: I got that wrong, it was the BBC and they just went by attack
