I do not appreciate the language of this article. “Unsettling” and “disturbing” are completely subjective, and these words should have been used in a way that implicated the author’s feelings about the photos without dragging the rest of their readership into nonconsensual complicity. When I look at these pictures, I see pictures of people who are living their best life. For possessing such specific knowledge about the culture, this author could have done so much better than sideways shaming.
