To what extent do Zoella and Attitude reflect the social and historical context of the time when they were made?

how are gay men represented on attitude online? men are sexualised- attractive men used as models with abs and six packs body confident- article about 80 year old man showing off his body confidence- aspirational to readers, also binary opposition with most men shown in the magazine who have abs. conformity to stereotypes- vain, they care too much about beauty and fashion (e.g in the active section theres an emphasis on weight loss and muscle definition). a focus on aesthetics represented as vulnerable- references to the "coming out" narrative. hypersexualised - beyond sexualisation, most images of men in the magazine are hypersexualised, big focus on openness and "out-there" sexualisation.  the magazine and website have a definite target audience, and may go "hidden" in the general populace. article on gay rugby team focusses on the team's body image as opposed to their supporting prowess, again reinforcing an emphasis on aesthetics. extrav...
