7 Reasons Straight Stuntin Magazine Is Intriguing |

I love women and I love their bodies. I do think there needs to be a balance. Women can be sexy without being sexualized. At the end of the day these magazines are fantasy, the women are protrayed in an over top representation of femininity. Some men love the butt, I love the it too. What I can't deal with are the cheap clothes, horrible styling and of course the typos. Show magazine does an excellent job with styling, photography, and diversity. And I can appreciate the lack of copy because at the end of the day it's all about the photos. You pay 8 dollars to ogle beautiful women not read articles. If you are going to do cheesecake, do it right.
Also I am glad that more than one person brought up the false idea that Black women have healthy self esteems, I think self acceptance is hard for PEOPLE let alone women.

I do feel better about the growing size of my butt and legs due to medication now, though. I will never have skinny legs and have always had a round butt. It's nice to see it has enough market appeal for an entire magazine. ;)

For one, many of these women have butt injections and implants. This is simply Hustler's lowbrow Black cousin. I don't see any win in women who would not be allowed to model in traditional settings being featured here. The women in Hustler and Penthouse are too siliconed up for runway, but I have never heard anyone make a case for body acceptance when it comes to them.
The diversity...girl, when have Black men NOT been facinated with women of other races? All these mags seem to be very tolerant of differences in skin color, so long as you have stacked body. Sexism and objectification for all!
Sarah Baartman (the "Venus Hottentot") just did a few 360s in her grave. I weep for my gender and I weep for my gender.

Dodai's comparison to Vogue is a strange one, too. Toccara's apperance in Italian Vogue showed a larger black woman looking natural in a high fashion setting. Straight Stuntin' looks like a standard image of black women from porn and hip hop videos dating back a long way.

Also, Jezebel praises this photo spread, because it is of a different body type. Well you know what? Black girls that don't have this body type do horrible things to get it. Just like a white girl would starve herself to be thin. Well a black woman will shoot illegal/poisonous silicone into her butt to get an ass like the ones that are shown in this spread. Because they think that if you don't have a huge levitating ass, you are nothing.
There is absolutely nothing remarkable/amazing or intriguing about this.

Dodai din't praise this photo spread.

As someone who has seen 11 year old girls replicate the poses in this magazine, I dont find it facinating or charming at ALL.

I used to have friends that worked at Tower Records and they would bring me all the freaky and gay porno mags that were getting thrown away. Surprisingly those mags may have objectified women but they showed REAL women of all colors, shapes, sizes, with cellulite, saggy boobs, bad dye jobs, scars whatever....They were still shown as HOT to whoever it was that was buying the magazine.
I honestly think men are a lot more forgiving, in general, than women think they are when it comes to what women look like.
Perhaps they would all love to be with Pam Anderson but wouldn't most women love to be with Johnny Depp?
Doesn't mean you think everyone in real life should look like that.

actors/models in adult films/publications are very diverse; they have to be. people are turned on by different things and regardless of what that is, someone somewhere will capitalize on it.

And even to that point, how is it different from folks saying Asian-American, Mexican-American, etc?
