I'm sure your reading comprehension skills are decent enough that you know I am not defending her. I believe in you, random internet person. You can figure out my point all on your own!

I was so busy responding to all the nonsense about the misogyny of the initial comment that I completely missed the posters anti-immigrant, xenophobic follow up.

Truly, is this who y'all wanna go to bat for?

Sure, and thats valid. But this wasnt pointing out her hypocrisy, or the hypocrisy of MAGA in general who will support Melania but enforce their puritancial regressive beliefs on every other woman. It was just mocking her past as a nude model. That's a whole different thing.

Thats a good note, thank you!

Again, if you are willing to resort to violent prejudices and dismiss them as "unimportant" in the face of what "truly matters," I have to wonder what you're even fighting for. Bigotry is the tool of the enemy, get less comfy using it to serve your own ends.

So using racial slurs or racist comments against non white Trump supporters and his collaborators, or being homophobic to queer Trumpers is justified as well?

Sorry, i dont buy that. Attack the person and their evil actions. Bigoty is never justified.

Blatant misogyny is never fair game. If you cant oppose fascism without resorting to it, that strikes me as a problem.

So many people are responding to this with horrible things that she has done or is complicit in. The association with Epstein, her support of Trump, etc.

Like, yes, thank you for agreeing with me. She is AWFUL and there is a TON to criticize.

Showing her boobs is really irrelevant to all that.

She doesnt deserve respect, but sex workers and nude models do. When you bring up her modelling as a negative, it tells everyone that you see it as a bad and shameful thing to do. Saying "its fine when good people do it" doesn't negate the fact that you clearly see it as a source of shame.

Anytime a woman is a terrible person, people are like "she doesn't reserve respect so I can call her a bitch and shame her for having sex or being naked," as if those things are suddenly alright because the person being shamed is awful.

Slut shaming is a pretty standard part of misogyny. The issue is the trafficking and complicity with Trumps crimes. Her being a nude model is irrelevant. If you didnt find sex work shameful, you wouldn't use it as a criticism.

What makes them a scold? I took their comment as just... pointing out a true thing. And like, sexism is bad.

To be fair, that's never been a popular thing to point out.

Yes, that is an extremely valid criticism. There are many, many things to criticize. Whether or not we've seen her boobs is irrelevant to the quality of her character. Which is evil.

Its not finger wagging, it undermines a valid point with an irrelevant and sexist criticism. Like "trump is a pedo! Also we think his wife is slutty!"

Who the hell cares about the 2nd thing? Why are we even talking about it? Of ALL the criticisms you could level at her, that's what you care about?

I've always loved these pages. Both the opportunity to see Emma Frost drawn in a completely normal way (non sexual, a little goofy even) and the "oh God yes normal things" reaction to the shopping invitation (i think that's this interaction...)
