How Ariana Grande Manipulates You: The Baby Face Effect

[@LunaDelTuna]

I can't even lie, as someone with a baby face I get treated quite well by strangers. I used to be an Uber driver, and being a woman as well, made people immediately comfortable when getting into my car. They'd always ask me, "do you ever feel unsafe?" when in reality no, I never did bc secretly I'm a serial ki- anyway I'm rambling you get my point.

Agree on the baby face and she does lean into the "Lolita" vibe too. Sympathy for an actual baby has trumped hers. She cannot win this one.

[@catkin-z8g]

[@no_one2197]

Yeah, I have noticed the Lolita thing and just find it repulsive. Stop caring about her music when I realized it, it's so gross. I hope she's not a weirdo and it's just "made to do it by her team" but I doubt it, she gives me weird vibes

[@Vesperad0]

I get the feeling someone here is going to take that statement and yours as saying, "oh so grown women can't enjoy Lolita fashion?? That's ageist" or something stupid, so I'd like to add something: There's nothing wrong with an adult dressing in a Lolita style. In fact, I heavily doubt any child regardless of their style would like to dress like a Victorian baby doll for fun, considering some mothers already do that. Not to mention the costs of those kinds of styles. The problem lies with taking something with a clear source for inspiration, not to mention the name's origin, and sexualizing it. She's allowed to be sexual, and she's allowed to dress Lolita, nobody can take that from anyone-but doing both at the same time is odd at the very least. Me personally I don't really associate high ponytails with anything, at most a crappy personality, but the dresses she (used to idk im not a fan) wears can very easily be seen as an imitation of clothing fof children. A lot of people like to take that obvious observation and twist it on the commenter, claiming them to be a pedo themselves, but you can't deny something like giving a child a penis shaped lollypop isn't sexualizing them. I really hate when people refuse to acknowledge how children are sexualized, and go with the "but you're seeing them that way, it's your fault you pedo" when all it is is noticing pedo bait. People aren't weird for noticing and calling out pedo bait.

[@casevase9746]

@@Vesperad0 I think they are more referring to the Lolita novel by Vladimir Nabokov which has had many film adaptations that uses images of lollypops, heart-shaped sunglasses and picnic patterned two pieces, no of which appear in the books. While you are thinking of the Lolita fashion which I believe started in Japan. The book is from the perspective of an older man, Humbert (37), who falls in love with 12 year old Dolores Haze or his pet name for her "Lotita". Now Humbert is an unreliable narrator so we never will know if Dolores does see him romantically but either way Humbert is in the wrong no matter how the child feels due to being unable to consent. Which the is point of the book, however with the film adaptations will always, by default, be in third person perspective compared to the books first person. This is why romancing this aesthetic of "Lolita" can be quite damaging as it can present Humbert in the right. Personally I don't think it should've ever been adapted into film. The book explores many ideas one I believe is called nymphology (not the supernatural creature) this term can be referred to insects that stay in the same state for example a cricket whereas a caterpillar become a butterfly, Humbert wants her to stay as a "nymphet" which is impossible. Obviously she can dress and present herself in anyway she likes but you can see how it can an issue in relation to the media this aesthetic comes from. I hope this gave you so insight into what I think they are talking about.

​@@NK-hs7ioik im not the one you asked, but I'm also in queer spaces and see a lot of love for Ariana. I also have no idea why. I don't want to get into too much depth, but there's this side of tiktok called floptok which has a lot of queer and brown people in it, a unique little community, which likes to say that they are welcoming of anyone being a "flop". Y'know, not being or liking racists, making fun of sexist people, a "woke brigade" dressed up in sparkles, if you will. That's all I want to say. But for some reason, those values and beliefs they strongly hate don't seem to matter when there's a celebrity involved-theres a lot of stan culture with "flops", from people in telenovelas/bollywood films all around the world to standard American stars to kpop singers. They love, LOVE, nicki minaj and ariana grande. There's definitely other examples but I cannot remember. Probably taylor swift.

[@lesaubergines]

Honestly I think it also has everything to do with the fact that she helped ruin a marriage. Yes, Ethan is obviously the one who took his vows, but cheating with a married man who has a baby is one of the worst things you can do to another woman. Pete Davidson wasn’t married. Big Sean wasn’t. I think people also noticing the pattern finally put it together. Now maybe she coulda got a pass for this if she looked younger, but Ariana fans are also growing up too & they empathize with Lilly Jay - not Ariana.

[@ReebaD]

Yup! It’s a different thing, especially in Hollywood, to move in on someone’s boyfriend/girlfriend than it is to move in on their spouse/co-parent. They are both responsible, obviously, and Ethan is responsible for his own choices. But SHE is the famous one, she’s the name we all know and the one with a reputation to protect, plus there’s clearly a bit of a power imbalance in this pairing favoring her, so of course she’s going to take more of the criticism. AND she was married too! Even if Dalton was the devil himself like her fans are trying to portray him, that still doesn’t mean you wait to divorce until you find someone better to hook up with.

It's weird, but it's not uncommon. Psychology theories have actually argued that we're more likely to be attracted to people who look like us, because we're attracted to ourselves. Hence why people may go after partners who look like their parents or siblings, because your parents/siblings look like YOU; therefore, your partner looks like you. In some cases, such as Ethan & Frankie (& look at Florence Pugh's dad & her ex Zach Braff), it's an obvious similarity. While in other cases, the personality traits may trump the physical similarities.

I don't even think it's necessary to invoke babyface phenomenon here; Ariana's fans are okay with what she does because a lot of them seem to think it's "girlboss" behavuour to "steal your man" and be a diva. And that's all there is to it. She appeals to a certain demographic that fantasizes about being THAT girl, just like rappers can get away with cheating etc because they appeal to men who want to be players.

[@saoverby506]

She also hides behind empowerment. She pretends like she's following "love and light" and her "heart's most honest desires." Like that's a good excuse for being an asshole. If your heart's desires are to insert yourself into someone's relationship, then you need to re-evaluate. It comes off as self-hatred, like she refuses to be in a healthy situation.

Can I be honest without getting the pitchforks and torches thrown my way: I believe a lot of the general public didn't really go after Ariana as hard because of what happened at Manchester. Because if you criticized her, you were criticizing a person with PTSD and who went through a huge tragedy at the time and would be viewed as insensitive. Now that that was almost 10 years ago, people forget/moved on so they hold her accountable now. I'm not excusing what she did, I think what she did is horrible but I can't help but notice the general public isn't "coddling" (for lack of a better term) than they used to.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Thats actually true

[@Oberatous-Udurabas]

This

[@Vesperad0]

Sometimes, that "coddling" is and can be fair. However this situation, or situations, has nothing to do with being a child star anymore, but with her own romantic relationships. For those people, maybe things would be more complicated and pitying if any of grande's ""dramas"" had relevance to anything she might have dealt with at nick, but this is an entirely separate ballgame. It is so very frustrating how people cannot understand complexities. They either ignore and baby someone because they had dangerous or traumatic experiences, or they treat them like a monster with no respect or empathy for their past. Sometimes the past lingers and has an effect, sometimes the situation is completely separate. We can't just water down past victims to "evil" or "innocent baby", because people have always been much more complicated than that. Ariana's not a perfect example, but an example nonetheless.

[@faith-on-the-internet]

She's a friend no woman would want to have and the family member you'd be ashamed of. It's crazy how she still tries to manipulate her fans into putting the blame on others instead of herself. Trying to reverse engineer the whole thing to say "if you hate me you hate women" when that's just fundamentally incorrect. It's not about men vs women, it's about her being an awful *Human* being. People trying to make Ethan the main point are missing it, no one is letting him off scot free. But Ariana is the ring leader. Ethan is just a pawn in her world, he is another disposable boy toy, just another name on Ariana's list. He's nothing special and might never make this mistake again after he finally get's burned, but Ariana will just keep doing what she does and ruin more people's lives.

[@cinnamonroll96]

I agree I’d not have a person who cheated or helped, as a friend and much less a partner. I also think ppl validly don’t support her anymore or lose respect. But I definitely and heavily disagree with just denying that there are misogynistic double standards going around. That’s always the case. The dude cheated on his wife and his kid. He is the one that destroyed his family, he is the homewrecker. And therefore he is the main one to blame and take responsibility. It’s not the affair. It’s not the one who helped him do that. Yes she is also to blame and was incredibly doodoo💩💩 for in being part of that. But it’s true that those dudes go comparatively Scott free. Not just with her case. There’s no need to forgive her for anything (not like it’s our place or business to do so anyways). Not like she’s asking or should be asking for forgiveness anyways. Like she didn’t do anything she needs to apologize for to the public. But there’s a difference at giving her all the blame which a lot of ppl seem to do so, when simultaneously claiming that dude doesn’t go without consequences. Even tho you’re not talking about how you wouldn’t want someone like him in your family or as a friend around. Why are ppl more mad at HER for HIM cheating on his wife and kid. It’s weird to think she as a woman that is not married to this woman and has that child with her, is the one that betrayed her worse than the man did. And I’m seeing such things a lot. So needless to say I disagree with just denying misogynistic double standards and hypocrisy that obviously are there regarding affairs and cheating in general and also in this case here. Especially when the ppl who called her slurs are now feeling like they are even justified at doing so. I think it’s valid to not condone what she did, or not support her anymore. I don’t either. But I wasn’t under some illusion like other ppl are with stars to begin with. But the things she sang about are true as well. Ppl have no right to comment on her body. And why do ppl care so much (onesidedly might I add).

its kinda dumb to assume to, that ethan is the better person here and like "may never make the mistake again".. why? yes youre first few sentiments are true. wouldnt want her for a friend, wouldnt be proud if a family member did this-- but frame this as "ethans one mistake" and her being a "ring leader: ttoally sounds mysoginistic. At the end of the day, as awful human as she may be-- she doesnt owe his wife or that baby shit. BUT he fucking does! he literally left his wife and cheated when they finally began building a life together. poiint is, she could have been an awful person but he couldve said no. he is the variable here, shes a constant. like she can keep being open to fucking a man thats married and has a kid, but he couldve had his values in line. shes single, hes married,. hes the worse person at the end of the day. she sucks but like, clearly shes just troubled. he is pathetic for not having a single cell of loyalty or commitment to values and vows.

I'm a short woman of 26, I have a baby face and I work as a doctor. My patients have asked me numerous times if I'm a real doctor or just a student. I gotta say I really do feel like a child and I like childish clothes, cute backpacks and stuff. But becuse of my job and people not taking me seriously I started to wear more grounded clothes, tend to choose more adult-like glasses, hairstyles, shoes. I started acting more confident and people ask those kind of questions less frequently now. People wonder why Millie Bobbie Brown wants to look older and I 100% understand her now. It's because you are not treated as an equal if you look like a young little girl! We just want to be treated the same way as older men do! People really do treat male doctors better, they respect them and trust their decisions. If they are not being ignorant of offensive, patients tend to respect them more. But I also have to admit that patients have more sympathy towards me than they do to the male doctors. If I fuck something up they don't care that much as they do if the male doctor messes up. I also try to calm people down, I don't act agressive so it may also be a factor

And Ariana was his accomplice. None of the blame should be put on her had she not known that he was a married man, had she not known that he had a child with his wife. BUT SHE DID. She even met his wife and the baby, in person. She is just as horrible and as much to blame.

She hurt more people, he's gonna end up being one of them.

[@Mila-cq4tn]

And she participated, she's also partly to blame

[@Zombie_Trooper]

I can confirm this theory on 2 fronts, the first being its basic psychology. It's the same concept behind how maternal/paternal instincts play into our perception and how "cuteness" can trigger our brain in ways that form positive emotions. The second is on a personal level. I'm a full-grown adult, full-time job, good education, etc, but because I'm a shorter than average person, I'm treated quite differently. Women perceive me as less masculine, older people perceive me as immature because they feel I look younger than I am therefore lack life experience and intellect, and the list goes on. I've done micro studies into how I can make those factors work to my advantage. I pitch up my voice sometimes, and that makes me seem more innocent and approachable to a degree. It sucks being treated like lesser just based on my stature, but it is fascinating to see how that perception plays into my daily life. Sometimes, it does indeed work for me as it does her.

[@MackenzieNerdyEMT]

I'm short and honestly I prefer short guys. I don't judge someone solely on height but if I had two people in front of me, I'd be more attracted to the shorter one. I definitely understand though, being a shorter male would be hard honestly.

[@eIioperlman]

so fucking heartbreaking for lily

[@thatonekidsshow262]

Soooo, as a therapist heres my take....Her father cheated on her mother and left the family for another woman. This obviously had an impact on Ariana , as it would any child. As we become adults we often are subconsciously attracted to partners who fill a void. This is where the whole "daddy issues, mommy issues" came from to explain specific head scratching behaviors in dating. There is also another path that we may take without realizing which looks like us becoming the embodiment of "our parents" relationship, in which we recreate the roles of whatever relationship was modeled for us in our youth. In my eyes it is obvious Ms.Grande does indeed have unresolved issues from her youth when her father abandoned the family and "chose" the other woman over his wife and children. This has led to her either consciously or subconsciously choosing to embody "The other woman". Almost all of her relationships point to a pattern of engaging men in comitted relationships to "choose" her over their significant other. It has become her whole identity at this point. Whether this high of getting guys to choose her over their own families quells whatever trauma she has yet to address or she is just a blatant spoiled brat who has never been told "NO!" Is anyones guess at this point. I am curious if she has ever looked at her homewrecking situations through yhe lense of the significant other who is being abandoned ( sounds like they all are blindsided). The videos I have seen of her she shows absolutely zero remorse ot even a hint of guilt which is shocking. Any person with emotions and feelings has to at least ponder what this is doing yo yhe other people involved. The fact she was in their very shoes as a child being left by her own father for an affair partner, you would think that she would at least have some moral code or grace towards the victims. The repercussions of infidelity in any form is not just family wide,it effects any children involved, friend groups, sometimes even work life if family buisness is involved. Not to mention cheating blows up any future the original couple had planned. Which in turn can negatively effect financial aspects ...retirement plans...homes, Nothing is safe from the fracturing that cheating invokes. Oftentimes there is alot of grief work that involved for the spouses who were left behind as they are left greiving a person they thought they knew and all of the future plans they had in place with this person. To summarize we all have had crappy stuff happen in our youth, that doesnt excuse or give a free pass to then turn around and act in an equally destructive manner to others. Actions good and bad have consequences, it is up to us to decide whether we want to spread kind/helping feelings or to spread hurtful/destructive feelings. Anyone reading this remember to communicate with your partner as it is a key fundamental in success. Also if you come across anyone who acts like Ms. Grande ...get yourself and your family Far far far away.

[@magnus547]

Baby face effect can definitely be a win and make those that have the baby face percieve life differently. My niece who is 15 gets treated differently from her sister, in part, because of her cute "baby face." Though she knows she's got it, she's not experiencing life without it, so she grows accustomed to that treatment. To your video's point, as it fades....people will start to treat you differently. I can't imagine what that can possibly do to that person psychologically, especially since she's never been treated in any other way except as a "cute, innocent" person. Great video!

[@melissaanthonyxb2730]

I would say it's also the fact that she never actually completely adresses any of her scandals. She just chooses silence and people eventually loose interest.

[@cIoudbank]

people like Ariana are psychic vampires, they insecure in their bodies and dont understand how to handle their trauma, so instead of looking inwards they need to survive off external things- they suck the life force out of anyone or anything that follows them, sometimes they go out of their way to find new prey, and some people are easier to drain than others. as for the baby thing, thats an extremely common problem modern women face, they almost always have daddy issues or were abused by some older man when they were kids, so they get stuck in that phase of their life and never really grow up, they literally cant live without the attention of a man, and/or feel that they are in competition with other women.

I honestly think it’s pretty simple: there’s a baby involved this time, and 2 divorces rather than breakups.

I don’t wanna sound like an asshole, but I think that for a long time people were afraid to criticize her because of the Manchester attack and Mac’s death. Most people (including myself) had a lot of sympathy for her, so criticizing her around that time would seem insensitive to some. However, she’s a grown ass woman, and there’s no need to baby her. Two things can be true at once: you can have sympathy for her and her trauma AND hold her accountable for her ignorant and flat out nasty behavior. This is coming from someone who likes her music btw. Love her as artist, but from what we’ve seen on a personal level, she seems pretty calculated and entitled.

[@erhtsee]

But why have sympathy for a woman that dated someone else (Pete Davidson) not even a full month after breaking up with the alleged person she loved. Sorry she only called off her engagement to Pete [who she flaunted and rubbed their relationship in everyone including Mac's face including his d I c k size and saying she knew she wnated to marry him the moment she first met him at SNL (which was years prior while she was dating Mac)] because Mac died. she felt guilty and knew she sent him over the edge to try and cope with what was going on. He may still be alive had he never dated Arianna and Naya Rivera would still be alive had she not interfered w Big Sean's relationship. Arianna only cared and acted hurt so could gain sympathy. she really milked his death for cash and its almost as disgusting as her licking a donut w her nasty mouth (which we all know where it's been - plenty of d i c k 's that she talks about loving and wanting).
