Second of all, I am reasonably confident AoC has more toes than MTG!

...

Wait, wait wait, this is not a foot fetish thing:

... well, ok, maybe it is a foot fetish thing, if you're into neanderthals who've been wearing horrendously fitting shoes/sandals for so long they've deformed their feet.

I don't think it was worth following that link. I've now been to Newsweek and X and I feel gross. So here's the photo, if anyone else is curious. Pretty sure the article said it's not real, but I was kinda just skimming for an image of weird toes, so I'm not sure.

Oh it is gross in many ways, no argument there, gross feet, gross tabloid / social media bs...

But, this is apparently the state of modern US politics, and I wanted to give an at least semi-credible source, and not have to personally dive in to twitter to find the direct source.

Also, this is, I think, the real photo.

The fake one has MTG with only 3 visible toes on each foot.

Here, hers are splayed badly, and her pinky toes are basically crushed under/behind the sandal and adjacent toe, but you can still make them out.

EDIT: goddamnit.

Yeah, here it is, the fake, based off of the above image, that circulated around twitter:

Ahh, thank you! So the truth is that she has webbed feet, which seems weird enough on its own that we don't really need the 3 toe rumor.

Not....webbed feet.

Webbed feet is when there is ... webbing, skin connecting between your toes, like a swimming flipper, as a duck does, though its usually not that pronounced when it occurs in humans.

Hers have been deformed by her wearing extremely poorly fitting shoes her whole life, and/or possibly just had fucked up toe alignment to some extent, to begin with.

More like foot bondage, but less extreme, and self imposed.

Think of how if your teeth grow in funny, you may need braces to better align them.

Well, this is sorta like that, but where the shoes are functionally the braces, and they're all fucked up and force the toes into an extreme configuration over time.

EDIT:

Basically, MTG is Cinderella's evil half or step sisters.

They kept jamming their feet into badly sized and badly formed fancy shoes, and at least in the original version, they actually cut off parts of their feet to try and literally fill Cinderella's shoes, but the Prince kept noticing the blood, and them walking awkwardly.

MTG has just been jamming her feet into, eh, likely needle point pumps of some kind, for so long, that they've smushed her pinky toes under and behind the adjacent toe, and the other toes have splayed out to compensate for the lack of balance that causes.
