Sports Illustrated dared to use a non-anorexic model with voluptuous curves on their swimsuit cover and it made Canadian clinical Psychologist Jordan Peterson go completely nuts. He doesn’t realize that a waist is a terrible thing to mind. After complaining about it on Twitter, he instantly found out that his opinion is in the minority. It nearly broke the internet.
Curves shouldn’t be offensive
InputMag calls Jordan Peterson a “prominent fixture on the cultural right.” He made a big stir with a way to climb the social ladder “through a clean room and upright posture.”
He’s suddenly getting global attention by “weighing in on the physical appearance of Yumi Nu, a cover model for the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.” He’s afraid of her dangerous curves.
If she isn’t suited to his particular taste, that’s fine. They make chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and 28 more for variety. He was way over the top when he declared the magazine’s decision to put her on their cover “authoritarian tolerance.”
As if they were forced to include her to fulfill some sort of quota. The twittersphere pushed back hard on that nonsense. Each and every one of Yumi Nu’s curves are yummy to many Sports Illustrated fans so “the backlash was swift and and the YouTube academic promptly got his ass kicked in the mentions.”
Defenders of Yumi and her curves prodded Peterson into “throwing a tantrum.” After eventually calling the whole “incentive structure” of Twitter itself “intrinsically dangerous and insane,” he pulled his own plug.
That’s when the good doctor “claimed he was taking an extended break from the social media.” He even allegedly instructed staff to “change his password, to keep him from temptation.”
She still can’t believe it
People Magazine is a lot more supportive of models with curves.
They interviewed her after the cover shot came out, noting that she made history only a year ago as “the first Asian curve model to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.” It’s a huge promotion to the cover.
The stunning 25-year-old is stunned that she was offered the opportunity. “It’s hard to even process or say out loud because I still can’t believe it,” she relates.
“It truly shattered the ceiling of what I knew to be possible for myself. I’m eternally grateful.” Her curves have also graced the pages of Vogue and she did a fragrance campaign for Victoria’s Secret.
One thing is certain, Yumi Nu is comfortable showing her curves on the pages of a glossy magazine. “Collaboration with SI Swim is a no brainer for me — they aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of what used to be normal for the media.”
She loves their crew. “I think we both have the same intention. We want people to feel good in their skin. We want to be on the frontline of change in the industry.“
