The first trans model for Sports Illustrated is butt ugly by Sports Illustrated standards.

Valentina Sampaio Is the First Transgender Model for Sports Illustrated (Published 2020)

The Brazilian model, who is in the magazine’s swimsuit issue, was also the first transgender woman to work for Victoria’s Secret and grace the cover of Vogue magazine.

Let's be honest here, the whole point of their bikini models is for men to stare at cute babes. They are the very model of cuteness. That's the reason we call them models.
If you become so politically correct you destroy your product, why even have a product? Do you think the men masturbating to your cute bikini babes are social justice warriors?
Do you think the purple haired man-haters marching in San Francisco are gonna start subscribing to Sports Illustrated?

What’s the big deal?

If you had not said anything, I would have never known tbh. I would guess most people who read SI would have never known either. Some probably would have had themselves a good fap to her too, I bet they did actually.

 

[rommelrommel]

Imagine admitting you read Sports Illustrated in 2020.

 

[nOOky]

Imagine all the 13 year old boys fapping off to her without reading the accompanying text, silly boys.

Target your audience. So maybe they are trying to pivot their audience?

Men have turned to the likes of pornhub, so magazines probably don't sell for shit anymore.

I guess we all just figured they would have been smarter but now they think they can gain a new audience with LGBTBBQ folks that have been dying to read their magazine but just felt excluded.

Lol. 13 year old boys masturbating to magazines. You're fucking hilarious.

They don't even know what magazines are. They definetly know what pornhub is.

Making fun of a group of people who have been systemically abused throughout the entirety of history, and you say libruuuls are spiteful and hateful?

Keep frothing at that mirror, champ.

I sort of agree with OP on this. Trans model in Sport Illistrated Swimsuits edition is pretty weird, plus she really didn’t look that great. Those models are the apex of the apex.
Also I read Playboy put a dude on the cover for the first time other than Hugh.

Its almost like the brands are adjusting to the times. Fucking shocking.

I'm sure they will be successful....

Christ when was the last time someone mentioned Playboy or SI

Used to hear all about the Playmate of the year, SI swimsuit issue cover... Haven't heard of any of it in years.

It's the same thing with Gillette. Trying to go woke to try and save itself. Won't work. Dying brands losing will continue to lose.

Do guys really lust over trans women now?
I'm not kidding, been out of the dating scene for a long time.

 

[uclaLabrat]

I have no idea, I'm not really a fan of shit like SI.

 

[RamIt]

I don't swing that way but he makes a good imposter.

you misspelled "pandering".

 

[trenchfoot]

I'm OK with the changing times and attitudes just so long it doesn't include Trump getting reelected.

 

[Fenixgoon]

wow some people being real assholes in this thread.

 

[uclaLabrat]

you misspelled "pandering".

WTF you think marketing is? Of course its pandering. You think NASCAR is promoting queer eye or cabellas?

 

[Denly]

ATOT that way?

 

[pete6032]

By putting a trans model in their issue they got tons and tons of people who would never buy the magazine or log onto their site to buy the magazine and browse their site. And everyone is talking about SI, which is largely irrelevant. Nicely played SI.

 

[shortylickens]

wow some people being real assholes in this thread.

You missed a chance to joke about "fucking assholes".

 

[Perknose]

Dying brands losing will continue to lose.

Trump 1860! Make America White Again!

 

[Perknose]

Let's be honest here..

Ok, let's.



If this person showed any interest in you at all, how many beers until you responded?

 

[brycejones]

OP if they hadn't told you would you be able to tell?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Did anyone look at the photos. These just aren’t SI quality.
