This is what masculinity has been reduced to in 2016.

Social media celebrated the announcement of Covergirl’s first ever cover boy, openly gay 17-year-old James Charles Dickinson, on Tuesday after pop star Katy Perry introduced him on her Instagram page.

Just wrapped another great @COVERGIRL shoot. Honored to have the pleasure to announce the very first COVERBOY, James Charles! Follow him @JCharlesBeauty! #COVERGIRLJames #glam❗️

But not everyone was thrilled with the idea. Many even called for a boycott of the beauty product line.

@COVERGIRL @jcharlesbeauty As a vast majority of your consumers are women, this is just political & preachy. And vile. My fam will boycott.
