"bad surgery" photos, "not aging well" photos, awful shots in swimwear photos. There are some men in these photo mantages, but most are women, and the focus is usually older women.

But when it's famous people, well, they are celebrities, so they put themselves out there (think Kardashian). But those that are of non-celebrities is not cool. Would YOU want to be photographed in public then put on the internet in unflattering photos, as an example of how BAD you look? If the answer is no, that's the answer.

It's unkind and sexist and most are ageist (is that a word?).
