Yeah, no.
I challenge you to find one single instance of defending Conway, or any other complicit Republican, by me anywhere in my years of posting here in the forum.
When we push back against a photoshopped-ugly picture of a woman on this website, it’s not (necessarily) because we’re defending the woman – It’s because we like this place, and we feel ashamed when we see patriarchal sexist mudslinging in our own online community.

So that’s a no, you can’t quote a single instance of defending Conway.
Duly noted that Political Satire is not for everyone, apparently.

If the headline were, “Kellyanne Conway shot dead by parent whose child was taken at the border” I’d have two reactions. 1) “Yeah, but they kind of had it coming, though.” and 2) “Ugh, why would you do that with the picture?” This isn’t about Conway’s goddamned feelings. It’s about my feelings. My feelings of being reminded that we live in a space where our worth is judged by our beauty. My feelings about my daughter who is seven and cries because she’s chubby because Harry fucking Potter books make Dudley Dursley’s fatness a substitute for their badness. And somehow we all understand on every other day that images in the media can harm us but this image miraculously can only harm Kellyanne Conway and her feelings.
Don’t worry, I’m well aware of that.

No, you never said the words “I defend Kellyanne Conway” while swearing on a stack of bibles, no.
But you’re a couple days straight into this bullshit. Who would put forth the effort except a KAC apologist?
You’re dressing up in a chicken suit and then getting all butthurt when people call you a chicken.

So, again. Still a resounding no.
You can’t cite single instance of defense of Conway. Instead you simply point at the number of posts and arbitrarily say that equal’s a Conway apologist. That’s just a totally made up argument on your part, followed by “Look over there! A chicken suit!” as you dash away from any actual evidence or logical argument in support of your claim.
Grab a mirror dude / dudette.

Yes or no. Is ugly as an indicator of evil a common trope in fiction?
Yes or no. Is the credibility of women IRL often judged based on their appearance?
Yes or no. Does the altered photo make Conway look more or less conventionally attractive?
While you can disagree with my premises or even my conclusions, my posts pushing back on digitally altering the photo of Conway are based off of a rational argument rooted in facts of our culture and how women are treated based on appearance in our society, even more so than men.
Ugly is an indicator of evil, yes. Why do you have a problem with this? KAC is fucking evil, end of story.

Yes, Kellyanne Conway is evil. She should be excoriated. Fired. And investigated for conspiracy to the degree with which she’s culpable with the many criminal acts of the GOP administration. (I’m going to call it the GOP administration, not just the Trump administration because the entire GOP is complicit.)
Her appearance has nothing to do with it. Don’t try to equate her appearance with evil, and certainly not by digitally degrading an image to make her look less conventionally attractive because that works both ways, against other women.

Okay, so if I spent two days straight hammering on about a bad photoshop of Harvey Weinstein, when I could be doing literally anything else, what would you think of me? Would I be really really really against looksism, or just another Weinstein apologist?
I’m gonna do you a solid and assume you’re just against looksism. So, every time there’s a bad photoshop of anyone here (because we all know that’s never happened before) I will expect you to show up there with your hue and cry complaining about how photoshops ridiculing public figures somehow make things difficult for people who are less conventionally attractive.
For two whole days straight, for each bad photoshop you see.
Otherwise, we know exactly what you are.
Deal?

Please note that you’ve spent 2 days advocating for the untrammeled right to call women ugly.
