Nobody's Perfect~Average People Can't Be Changed

~AnonymousIceCream:iconAnonymousIceCream: reports, December 19, 2007
People in America don't realise this, but our society is degrading different kinds of people~~

Take for example, America's Next Top Model. It dosen't seem so bad...at least until you think about it. The people on the show are looking for models. Dosen't sounds so bad, does it? What about all the other people? They feel bad because they think that they don't have the look in order to become a model, but their shouldn't be a certain look, size or shape in order to be in magazines or on TV. People shouldn't have to worry about these kind of things, escially when it's nearly impossible to have a look that's right to be a model. I mean, you're going to throw up all the food you eat, excersize way more and wore yourself out, and then you think you'll get the job? Well what if you don't? Think about it.

And then there's music. Not all of it is bad, but some of it is just plain degrading to women. The rappers in the music industry (most to nearly all of them) are a disgrace to mankind and should listen to their music. They may like it, but if they listen closely to it and are surrounded by women that hate it....oh, they'll be sure to understand. Women are not sex objects and they never were; never will. How come no one has ever stepped up in hip hop music and try to send out the message? Are they too scared that they'll get killed for trying to change nearly the whole world? Martin Luther King sacrificed himself to stop all racism. You think he made a difference? Exactly.

If the people with voice could realize all of this, then maybe the world COULD be a better place, but it will only be the beginning. Things that also puts pressure on people would be people that create our clothes. Large people may like a certain kind of outfit that may not be in their size and will squeeze their body weight into it. It's not good for their health and it makes them look desperate. Sure, the style may be in, but I'd rather be healthy than look ridiculous.

Just take a while to think about it and make a difference.

Wow. :bucktooth:

Honestly, I'm kind of sick of the politically correct don't-offend-anyone BS.

Modeling is about appearance. You're modeling someone's creation. Would you put your best, most-loved piece of art that you put ridiculous amounts of time and energy into on wall in a bathroom stall to display it to the world? . . . I wouldn't, anyway. I have more respect for my work than that. I also wouldn't model my own clothes, if I was a fashion designer.
Why? Because I'm a fat chick without a camera-friendly look, and I would want my art to be presented in the best possible way. On a not-fat-chick who knows how to put on the best show for my art.
Some of us can model, some of us can't, and some of us fall somewhere in between. I wouldn't discourage someone from trying, but I sure as hell wouldn't hand out a contract to any trashy hopeful that walked off the street.

. . . As for music, this debate has gone on for decades. The solution? There's a knob on your radio, or a power button, or a plug. There's often a button on remotes, the little square symbol. . . it stops it. The fact is, sex sells. Women are not objects. You're right. But sexuality is a huge part of our society and, as such, a huge part of the way we express ourselves in music. And on television. And on the internet. And in every other form of media you can think of. Just because so many of us enjoy sexual relationships where, in bed, the woman is subservient, doesn't necessarily mean the female is subservient in life. :P If she is, you can help her get help. But to like sexual dominance and/or subservience is not a societal problem. It's a sexual preference. . . which is mirrored in our musical tastes, to an extent.
People have stood up in hip hop music to try to change that message. It hasn't caught on. Why? Because we like our bitches 'n' hoes. We like imagining a world where we can fuck anyone and anything we can touch, and make them get us a sandwich when we're done. We like to imagine. We have a dream!

This is the same kind of idea that blames school shootings on Marilyn Manson. Really, it's getting kind of old to me. :P

:iconkokkoii-matoku:
I know i know
Everything you said it right. Totally true .__.;

I LOVE big boned women, I love ALL different SIZES. if i ever HOSTED a Fashion show, Id make all woman, becasue your not just beautiful in ONE size. we shouldn't discourage anyone from doing so. but everyone, yes also the people are shallow as well. Im not but like 99% of americans are. where so shallow, thats why it shows in the music, and in the shows, its all for money. there are only a couple people that SING from the heart and mean it but there not really popular no one cares about the girls that are modest and dont wanna dress all freaky.

Music to. you always, hear Bitches and Ho's there always shaking there asses. and yes, SEX sells. i've fallen out of MANY artists, because they care all about SEX, DRUGS AND MONEY. and that's all. That's why i love T-Pac. he says RESPECT your woman, don't abuse them.
HERE HERE.

It needs to catch on though, but it's how they VIEW woman, and the WOMAN view it themselves like that too. the girls, DONT do it cause they dont want to, they LIKE. being in those videos and protrayed to be a sex doll and sex appel.
-Sighs-

Everything needs to stop being all about LOOKS. someone has a pimple in the celebrity world and its like "OMG. SHE GOT A PIMPLE." and it's ALL over the magizens and news and entertainment tonight.

MEE TO. i want my art to be shown as respect not with disagrease. i want to be heard with my art.

BTW. American Idol is Staged.

WOW!! Ive nevar read something like this and when you put it this way I think your absolutely right. Some people have been degrading my sister because she didnt come from an artistic family and she was making art herself. They told her she needed to stop!! The nerve of ome people! I think those type of people need to het over themselves. As for modeling, people dont understand that you dont need to puke up your food to be a model! If you just eat right and exercise they can look like models too!! I know because I'm FINALLY losing weight!! And all Im doing is exercising and eating right! That should be a message to evryone!

Mmhmm mmhmm
Totally.
.___. this is what they want >< An hourglass shape, big boobs, and a freaking, SKINNY person to model.
That doesn't make you pretty people need to understand that.

Beauty comes in All Shapes and Sizes. not just one.
There are plenty of beautiful Big/Phat women.

Good article, I'm glad to see someone shares my thoughts.
I'm always getting pressured to change who I am, and it's really quite sad.
I'm a Christian, but I'm also human and sometimes people forget that. Even Christians can get depressed; it doesn't make us sick or emo, just human.
I really wish people would really dive into every category and see what needs to be changed, then actually try to change it. We COULD make our world a better place.

Your right one this country is the most shollow country on this earth
It's all about looks.....no wonder most celebertys have eating disorders. If a celeb gains a few pounds you see picteres of them on every magizine saying how they got fat.
this vanity disterbs me



music-Your right about the music
most people enjoy hearing bout bitches and hoes
cus most people want that life
most men would want to do anyone they want
And most girls probally wanted the same thing


But I think the bitches and hoes have gone on for to long
It's not like i'm offended at it I'm just saying thats all you here now
every song is usally about that

I like music where true emotions are heard
sadly Those types of musicians are dying off


I also want heard with my art


and yes american idel is staged

"Yes it is"

"It is shown that most marige fails miserably within two years, a small percent end up in murder suicides, and an even smaller percent ends up in what we call, "Livable hate"
:iconkokkoii-matoku:
Thanks. and yeah it has been going on but it really needs to stop.

The beautiful and Emotional types. there like dying off, and i dont like that.
a song is just as awsome, without "Bitch and Ho" and "Drugs and Sex"

Yeah dude, they need to stop, thats why all the clebrertys will die. seriously if like a celebrity gets a freaking pimple its in the BREAKING NEWS. why do they do that.
Jeezus. money can not be that important to crush people lives and make up lies.
