SI is just playing the game. Their swimsuit edition has always been iconic, but these days it's misogynistic, promotes eating disorders, leads to poor self-image in vulnerable teens, promotes unrealistic and unattainable body types, and, perhaps the most wicked crime against society, men enjoy it. It's clever. SI throws a fatty in now and again and the REE-al wimminz have a little less to REE about. It's like doing a controlled burn to stop a forest fire.
