I'm about to rant here. I generally think mass cabals and shadow plans can't be a thing, because no one could keep them a secret. Then retarded shit like this comes along. Once upon a time just about every man in America at least browsed at if not bought the SI swimsuit issue. Bachelors proudly had their calendar of the pretty models delivered with their subscription. Husbands were generally given a pass for the magazine since it wasn't too risque as they told their wives, "Oh it's just a few pictures for the young bachelors dear, you know I read this for the sports articles all the time," and were probably given eyerolls but passes. It was a piece of Americana who's annual publication had it's place alongside things like baseball's opening day or the start of hunting season that most men in America looked forward to, or at least identified culturally with. So why in the world would the publisher take such a cultural status (and probably easy sales and ad revenue) and flush it down the toilet to appease a small minority who want to see hideous things in the edition? (Not to mention that those that claim to care about seeing fats and fugs in the magazine probably aren't going to buy the issue anyways). In recent years, we've seen fatties, trannies, and every other kind of non-pretty non-model featured, and the magazine has gone from the water cooler talk and fellas sitting around naming their favorite model or who they would like to see on th cover, to myself (and half the other commentors in here) legit wondering if this reveal was going to be that it was a dude, and none of us having absolutely any interest, not even a passing morbid one, in seeing the issue, let alone buying it. Millions and millions in annual ads and sales have to have been lost to support the degenerate agenda. Nobody just does that. It's this kinda crap that makes me believe there has to be a designed destruction of our culture. /rant
