And why is she looking away from the camera?
Most likely because there's someone else taking a picture at the same time from that angle. The photographer taking this picture should have re-taken it instead of publishing. It's not like he/she needed to develop film to discover it wasn't a good shot.
 
Are the two women being disrespectful?
No, of course not. The "open hand arms around the girl" look is absolutely terrible. It's like a ballroom dancer with his fingers open like he's palming a basketball; an awful awful look.

But in this day and age, more and more of us fellas are doing it, ESPECIALLY when having pictures taken with a lady. Seriously; one accusation, true or false, can END A MAN'S CAREER.

Example: Taylor Swift and that radio guy. There's no way to know for sure WHAT really happened, but she says she was groped, and the one guy accused the other, possibly as a joke, but then it backfired and the other lost his job. And the joke-player just kept his mouth shut.

So it's hands-open in pictures!

I agree. Photographers today have all the tools, including the ability to preview pics on the screen. And they publish some really awful stuff, with antennas sticking out of people's heads, and light poles showing up behind people's outspread legs, and worse; much much worse.

It would be a lot better to just drop the arms around other people, particularly if you aren't comfortable doing so with that specific person. It's like a weird in between in terms with social conventions when it's like this.
 
I’m 34 years old and nothing on their lineup except mythic quest remotely interests me and that’s only because of my loyalty to its always sunny. See was bad and I love khal drogo.

they need a big name show. Perhaps they can bring back firefly or something fun like 3 sheets.
 
Good for Apple.
Going to cancel my free 1 year (or was it even longer??) as there still is nothing that compels me to pay a monthly fee…
Good luck and of course this is just me, others do like ATV+

Absolutely watch Ted Lasso, it's brilliant and charming. I'd also recommend Mythic Quest, and I thought For All Mankind, was good, as well. They don't have a ton of content, yet, and their stories may or may not appeal to you (preferences vary, obviously), but their production values are all uniformly top-notch, from what I've seen. Give it a try. And definitely watch Ted Lasso.
I don’t know, maybe I don’t have a sense of humor but I just don’t get Ted Lasso. I watched an entire season and didn’t laugh once.

Mythic Quest OTOH, I think is brilliant.

lol, the point of this story is that they have multiple big name shows.
 
It's one of the few streaming services that you can scan all their content in a few minutes. ;)
You can make jokes but to be honest I've only seen just a small number of anything worth watching on Disney+ outside of what appeals to kids and Netflix is over-bloated with old crap with a small few of decent originals and Amazon Prime Video is just a bunch of old rehashed shows.
