People Are Outraged About Rihanna’s Cover Photo On Vogue And The Reason Is Completely Stupid.
Ricky Gervais Made Me Sob This Morning.

The Mucinex-Needing Loogie Chick Is Back. And She Says White Women Are “Tone Policing,” FYI.
February 17, 2023I swear, our world is getting so freaking dumb. Everyone just wants something to be outraged over all the time, to the point that they’re SEEKING IT OUT, y’all.
Case in point. Rihanna is the talk of the town right now, particularly after her Superbowl Halftime performance. She’s now on the cover of Vogue magazine, along with her child and her child’s father. She and the father are not married, but they are seemingly happily together, raising their child and about to bring a second child into the world. And they are all featured on the cover:
I saw that cover photo and thought it was awesome. She looks like a total vixen, and I love that her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, is cradling their son and sweetly kissing him as they all walk along a beach. It’s a great photo.
But unfortunately, there are some naysayers. BEHOLD:
I mean, you get the idea. People can’t just see that the cover of the magazine AND the story IN the magazine are about Rihanna – she is the main focus. She is the star of the story. But as you can see above, people are mad. They’ve convinced themselves that this is a slap in the face to A$AP Rocky, that he appears to be emasculated.
Considering the fact that 70% of black mothers are single, you’d think everyone would be celebrating this intact family unit – that they’d be celebrating the very real and clear presence of the black father there to help raise his child. But nope! They’re mad that Rihanna is front and center, and that her mate is taking a bit of a back seat in a story and cover that is ALL ABOUT HER.
I can’t. There just aren’t enough eyerolls.

Have to admit–my first thought was along the lines of emasculating…but hey, we each can have our own opinion. It reminded me a little of Harry and Meghan pictures
Although I do love seeing the man holding and kissing the baby…
A$AP Rocky seems secure enough to think if the woman in his life is getting attention because of her talent/accomplishments it does not make him less of a man, and wanting to show the world he loves his kid, seems alpha to me.
Men, and I know I am one because I checked, do not get jealous and insecure because someone around them gets noticed for their accomplishments. Women are not inferior, just different in quite an attractive way. (I wonder what my wife is doing right now?) I got to go.
Well said!
So people are outraged that a magazine marketed toward women puts women as the central figure?
Yup we’ve clearly gone off the cliff and standing there like Wile E. Coyote just waiting for gravity to take effect.
So, being a dad is somehow emasculating? The same people who get pi$$ed when dads on TV get depicted as unnecessary and stupid while the smart mom fixes everything are now pi$$ed when they see dads being dads. A real man would never hold his child when there’s a woman there to do it! 🤦♀️
