Everyone who spouts this "the gays did it!" conspiracy about modeling is willfully illiterate about fashion. They're like "bro these chicks aren't hot, what the fuck? Must be them fags fucking things up." Do you go into a church and ask why the male priest isn't a busty hooters waitress? A model isn't there to make your dick hard. She's there to sell the clothing, to make the brand look glamorous, to sell an envious lifestyle. Straight men are not the target demographic, rich women are. I'm as big an ass man as a man can be, but it's clear that thin rich women respond differently than horny straight men - the optimal aesthetic for branding depends on who your customers are. Are they rich thin women? White truck drivers? Educated black men or blue collar black men? There is no one ideal aesthetic.
Fashion is extremely competitive. In a highly competitive market, generally if the experienced players are all doing something, it's generally because it works on some level. I may not understand it, but chances there's a good reason for it.
