![]() While Taylor Swift can date any number of corn-fed white guys and be labeled merely a serial dater, the fact that Kim’s dated mostly black men has drawn her extra criticism from the more narrow-minded among us. Everyone watches porn-hell, Donald Trump once copped to watching Paris Hilton’s sex tape with his wife, Melania, and he’s been a family friend of Paris’s since she was 12-and Kardashian’s is the best-selling sex tape ever, which means a lot of people got off on it. First, it’s wrong to consider any woman who works in porn a “ho,” period. There are several things wrong with this. In other words, it all comes down to the sex tape. The answer, it seems, is that a good portion of the general public are Kreationists who’ve bought into the following Kardashian origin story: She began as an assistant to Paris Hilton, observed her path to fame, went ahead and mirrored it by releasing her own sex tape to the public, et voila. Why do Uncle Luke-who by the way has six kids with five different women, and once interviewed Jay Z next to tour bus groupies having sex-and others feel this way about Kardashian? This is a woman, after all, who’s never been arrested or spoken ill of anyone publicly (which is kind of a miracle these days), has promoted body positivity for women, helped bring visibility to the LGBTQ community via Caitlyn Jenner, spoken out against racism and for gun control, and has tirelessly supported recognition of the Armenian Genocide. With her slicked-back hair and Balmain lace-up dress, Kardashian, who is 5½ months pregnant, looked radiant, yet became the butt of fat jokes online, taking the form of childish memes-with even Buzzfeed getting in on the worst party ever with their cheap listicle, “13 Things Kim Kardashian’s Outfit looked Like At The 2015 VMAs.” When you observed Twitter’s reaction to the ceremony, however, the mood went from sad to downright disturbing, as thousands of poorly-raised ingrates teed off on Kim Kardashian’s appearance. ![]() ![]() It was so damn boring that Gawker, ever the vigilant “investigatory journalists,” went all True Detective on a backstage video of Taylor Swift clearly blowing her nose into a handkerchief on the way-off chance that it was blow. With the glaring exception of Nicki Minaj, who injected a much-needed dose of Jamaica, Queens realness into the affair by calling out Miley Cyrus for her years-long impersonation of Anne Hathaway in Havoc, and the gloriously ad-libbed exploits of Kanye West, the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was a mirthless spectacle.
