Nuts magazine may close.

[Darkesteyes]

After sales have dropped from 300,000 to 50.000 in 10 years. im sure feminists will get the blame for this. Ive already seen a couple of comments on Twitter blaming this om women.
New Woman Eve She Easy Living Scarlet have all been discontinued in the last six years but i dont recall a lot of men playing merry hell about the jobs lost in these cases.
I also dont recall women blaming the closure of these womens titles on men.
These closures are due to the fact that content is moving online. And ive also seen comments where ppl are saying that feminists should concentrate on the more important things like the cutbacks affecting women. Yet they seem to accept or emphasize the fact that women are good at multi tasking when it comes to housework But seem to think or wish that we cant/wont multi task when it comes to campaigns or expressing an opinion.

Oh, it's always the women's fault.

(But )

Men stopped buying it because it is shite.

Nothing to do with feminist campaigns. Lad mags have been dying for years due to the internet, why bother buying a magazine when you can get unlimited pictures of naked ladies within two clicks of a button.

Personally I dont see anything wrong with these type of mags, there are many mags aimed at women like closer which are much worse.

I am of the opinion that if it was women's fault it would be a reason to celebrate, because it would mean that women's opinions actually count.

I doubt though that women are the reason that sales have fallen. After all, they are not the ones buying, so can't stop buying. There is probably not an overall fall in demand for pornographic content. The supply of it has just moved elsewhere, i.e. the internet.

Just let me get my >little< violin out in memory for Nuts..

Surprised it limped on as long as it did in this publishing climate but I'm pleased to see it go.

"...feminists will get the blame..."

Eh?

Surely "feminists will get the credit".

Sadly I agree with several posters above: it's nothing to do with us.

This, sadly.

Glad it's going. NMP3 next? Pretty please?

According to the Guardian: 'Nuts and Zoo's circulations dropped by one third year on year in the second half of 2013, after both titles' publishers pulled them from Co-op stores.'

I was quite surprised the Co-op's decision could exert that much influence on sales. It's probably not entirely down to the Co-op but it seems like it played a huge part. Good on them!

Here's the article: www.theguardian.com/media/2014/mar/31/nuts-magazine-close

No no, not closing down. Merely making a few changes so as to attract a more consistent readership:

Agree with misssfemme the decreasing sales killed Nuts although I note UK feminista and Object are claiming it was them. FHM is still going and it has a strong web brand which young men are following especially the fashion. The fact is the web presence of the magazines is where the future is. Certainly DS1 reads things on his tablet far more than magazines, newspapers or even books now. Eventually all magazines will only survive if their web presence is good enough IMHO.

"UK feminista and Object are claiming it was them."

lol @ radfem groups trying to take credit. Of course it was nothing to do with the fact most households have the internet and access to tonnes and tonnes of free porn. The feminists bravely took down the oppressive lad-mag single-handedly (snicker)
