    I wanted to talk about teenage sodomy but had nowhere else to go, so I came here.

    So anyway, "corn borching"? Really?

    I made one, innocuous post:

    A small price to pay for their incredible political coverage.

    Also, this is why Trump won.

    And, btw, Teen Vogue has "moved the magazine more aggressively into covering politics, feminism, identity, and activism."

    On Saturday morning, Teen Vogue published an op-ed by Lauren Duca titled “Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America.” The tone and message of the piece, which compared the ways in which the president-elect talks about his record to the ways abusive spouses psychologically manipulate their partners, struck a notable chord with readers on social media, garnering almost 30,000 retweets from Teen Vogue’s account, and getting shared by personalities from Patton Oswalt to Dan Rather. Many people tweeting the story did so with an incredulous tone, seeming surprised that a teen-oriented magazine was publishing incisive political coverage rather than makeup tutorials or One Direction interviews.

    But the tone of Duca’s piece was representative of a larger shift Teen Vogue has made over the last year. In May, 29-year-old Elaine Welteroth took over as editor from Amy Astley, who helped found the magazine in 2003. Welteroth, the digital editorial director Phillip Picardi, and the creative director Marie Suter have moved the magazine more aggressively into covering politics, feminism, identity, and activism. Together, the three have shepherded a range of timely, newsy stories, including an interview exploring what it’s like to be a Muslim woman facing a Trump presidency, a list of reasons why Mike Pence’s record on women’s rights and LGBTQ rights should trouble readers, and a video in which two Native American teenagers from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe discuss the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

    The pivot in editorial strategy has drawn praise on social media, with some writers commenting that Teen Vogue is doing a better job of covering important stories in 2016 than legacy news publications. But the move is also an intelligent one from a business perspective. Teenagers who’ve grown up on the internet are as likely to be informed about social issues as their parents are, and just as eager to read and share stories that reflect their concerns about the world. While some casual observers might seem surprised that a teen fashion magazine is focused on racism and sexism rather than on “hairstyles and celebrity gossip,” their assumptions dismiss how attentive young readers are to politics—an interest Teen Vogue is astutely capitalizing on.


    Teen Vogue's Political Coverage Isn't Surprising

    An article about anal sex, and how to do it "the right way" in a magazine aimed at teen girls is a part of their political/social agenda.

    And, there is a backlash against this in the country.

    The fact that they published an article about anal sex, and never mentioned the risk of AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases, or mentioned the the importance of using protection is irresponsible.

    This article has been updated to include the importance of using protection during anal sex.

    They were being intentionally provocative, and have received the response they desired.
