This whole “here’s a list of all the problematic stuff in tv shows from 10-20-30 years ago” trend is pretty dumb.

no it isn't

Acknowledging the wrong of media we loved from before is crucial in making better media in the future. If anything it's a good sign that we can recognize problematic patterns of the past so that we can correct and avoid them in the future.

People have already been talking about this for YEARS. It’s not a new thing people only just noticed, and it’s baffling why it’s becoming a thing now. Is it because of all the gen-z children have started streaming ANTM and just kicked up on it?

[pikapika217]

More like these concerns are actually being acknowledged in a real way vs. in the past where people were insensitive and dismissive of them. All of these conversations are things that should've happened back in the day but culturally we weren't at a place to have them taken seriously.

Tyra's ability to make every issue in the world about herself is truly magical.

remember when she tried consoling a hurricane katrina victim by talking about a photoshoot she did on the beach with a wind machine

There was a thread about the Tyra show on Twitter too and all I remember was the Soup making fun of it.

I’ve been rewatching Australia’s Next Top Model in quarantine. I didn't think this series was problematic at the time, but I’m kind of stunned by how abusive the style coach Jonathan Pease is to the models. He verbally berates them and intimidates them before, during, and after their photoshoots. His criticism is sometimes about something legit, but his behavior reads as emotional manipulation.

i wonder what happened to that cassie girl who was a bogan on ausntm. of all the cycles and all the versions of top model, she was prob one of the only ones i thought had the actual high fashion look instead of just being normal pretty like 99% of other contestants. but she decided to not be a model and got married to a 26 yr old slacker while she was 16 instead?

[tucker]

She did some modeling in Australia I believe, in 2014 she got some attention for being scary skinny in a runway show

Her season was really good, they actually had some gorgeous models. I remember the top four basically all hated each other, it was funny how open they were about it

[poisoned_summer]

YIKES

i remember her being so beautiful on her season, but she was such an immature little brat. if she got her act together even a little, she could've been huge, she had the PERFECT look

[pinkkchocolate]

I love this bc she’s probably haaaaating this. Anyway Tyra is still a horrible person she hasn’t changed and will probably never change.
