AIBU to ask who these covers actually appeal to? I'm talking about the likes of Chat Magazine where there is always some inane looking woman with her mouth gaping open in the most alarming and unnatural fashion. Usually the photograph is accompanied by some horrific headline.

In terms of marketing they must work because these toilet paper alternatives are still selling but what is the thinking behind these photographs?

I'm trying to imagine the directions from the photographer..."Face forward. That's great now smile. No that doesn't work. I know, try smiling like there are fishhooks in both cheeks then open your mouth as wide as the Joker following a full lobotomy".

Hello, @ThePieceHall - we replied to your initial report on Saturday, you may not have seen our email. Just to reiterate, we generally allow words where the common, contemporary usage has shifted away from their original meaning, provided they’re not being used with the intention to target or demean someone.

We recognise that language can be subjective and impact people differently. To be clear, we would step in and remove any post where the term was used as a personal attack, or to describe a disabled person.
