maybe it’s just because I’ve been having these conversations for too long but sometimes watching a youtube video essayist analyse something is kind of like watching a third-grader run through their times tables. it’s like… yes, very good, that’s all true! so… what now…
“the ‘clean girl’ thing is not actually about cleanliness and hygiene, but instead requires artifical measures such as makeup to achieve”
people make fun of the “oh you only hate her because she’s a WOMAN” crazy feminist mentality but yeah actually you guys do only hate her because she’s a woman a lot of times. for every hated female tv character there’s ten male tv characters who are a million times worse and still given at least the “intriguing morally grey character” treatment if not straight up praise. for every hated female celebrity in real life there’s one hundred famous men who have done worse and don’t get half the hate she does.
