I'm just gonna say it... Kevin scares me and instantly I got a bad feeling about him. It could also be that he was so seemingly sure and confident that he had the female gaze that it came across as arrogant and I didn't like it. I figured maybe there was just something wrong with me though after I heard that everyone was losing their minds over it... So... 🤷‍♀. The internet is a really crazy place lol

[@shmeepness1700]

It’s cos he is doing it in front of the camera for a TikTok like he is aware of what he is doing, that he is trying to be hot. If the gaze came naturally to him then it would’ve been much more attractive, ya know like how Koop idols do on their stages and they make good facial expressions that make fans go crazy, they do it naturally while his looks forced and like you should be finding it hot

I have small, almond shaped eyes. They are not monolid but have the "asian eye" vibe to them. I sometimes got in trouble in gradeschool because teachers thought I looked tired, or bored, or wasn't paying attention. Once got told I rolled my eyes at them when I didn't, or giving a glare. My resting face does look tired. I taught myself at one point in time to force my eyes open more to avoid the stigma.

It’s like my ex. A fake feminist who make a whole fake persona (his whole online personality was acting like a feminist and hating a certain old American president). I knew him for years before we dated and who he was after we dated (after the love bombing phase ended) was extremely misogynistic and abusive. Everything he posted about as a fake feminist was the opposite of what he said when he dated me, but only to me. Online he continued to pretend to be a feminist. Like the Try Guys drama with the “wife guy” there are “feminist guys” who also pretend to respect women to appear to be good people and to manipulate women into liking them. I saw a post from Hypebae that was titled “New year new me(n)” where guys claim they will be better in 2023. The author of the post was skeptical, as they should be. Guys have been manipulating women for decades. Like unpopular guys pretending to want a relationship to trick women into having sex. It’s just more and more manipulation. Dating for straight women is difficult.

It’s not the female gaze. It’s what makes women feel attractive, from a socialized, feminine perspective. People are confusing it, because the male gaze is all about what men are attracted to. the female gaze isn’t supposed to objectify people.

[@tdelioncourt1268]

[@PGOuma]

All I get from this male and female gaze crap is that men are attracted to men and women are attracted to women...

[@voidnoidoid]

Finally someone said it

[@joylox]

That last part isn't quite true. In a management course I took, we looked at how the female gaze is responsible for things like beauty standards, body image shame, the pressure on women to shave and wear makeup, and things like that. All those pressures that I've felt in my life all came from women who were using them to feel more powerful and attractive, while I found them restrictive and unreasonable. I've also heard of the female gaze being used to objectify men as just being there for physical support, but that isn't as common. It's like we all make each other a commodity, and try to bargain with the system by fitting into ideals that a lot of people just don't care about, or at least not as much as what media would suggest.

[@RhythmAddictedState]

​@@joylox You got it wrong. Women shaming or competing with other women comes from internalised misogyny, aka an internalisation of the male gaze. These women literally just perpetuate patriarchal stereotypes, which initially did not come from women, but from men.

idk what female gaze means, but I def know they're using the term male gaze wrong. "male gaze" isn't "ego and bravado". it's used in cinema (and other visual media and can expand to even non-visual media if you want) to describe how women are literally viewed as in the camera focusing or lingering on their boobs, butts, hips, etc.

[@rabbitlove1785]

[@karartistry]

You know how a lot of people find fictional (and unfortunately sometimes non-fictional) serial killers/stalkers attractive? That's the vibe I got from him. The "I know he's gonna kill me but maybe I'd be the exception" type...

[@ancalyme]

I always thought of "female gaze" as a technique for filming or writing where it's obvious in some intrinsic way that a woman is holding the camera and not a man trying to imagine what women like. Like, in "male gaze" women are the sex objects, the desired trophies, the mysterious beauties waiting for a partner. In female gaze, men are the sex objects, the desired trophies, the mysterious beauties waiting for a partner. In male gaze, men are strong and capable and active within the story while the women react; they save the damsel, if the damsel saves them they have to save them in return. In female gaze, women are strong and capable and active within the story while the men react; they save the male damsel, and if they are saved then will save the male lead in return.

[@ancalyme]

True Blood and Outlander are usually cited as shows with a strong female gaze

[@dean1111]

Well I'm actually not sure that in the female gaze, the roles are so directly switched. I don't think that a main component is the woman saving the male damsel in distress, but more that women are seen as actual human beings with complex thoughts and feelings, and things that are usually experienced by women, like girlhood in Coppola or being sexualised in general, are accurately and emotionally portrayed. Also that men are maybe more emotionally in touch and not overly masculine, because women tend to like that more (overgeneralisation, I know), and the man that's supposed to be attractive in more male gaze-y movies is usually overly masculine, bulky, unemotional, as men stereotypically want to be. But I'm not sure either, just wanted to drop that here haha

[@bby_drgn]

this is absolutely not what the female gaze is. the female gaze doesn't objectify. (what makes perfectly sense because it's a feminist film theory) what @dean1111 wrote is more accurate

[@ancalyme]

@@dean1111 It looks switched because I'm simplifying. Take Outlander for example, the female lead goes back in time with medical knowledge that allows her to be very capable and useful to warrior men in pre-industrial Scotland, and she's emotionally and mentally strong from having been a ww2 field medic, but she's not brawling with the guys. The male lead had his own damsel moments where he had to be rescued or saved, and he in turn saves her. In shows from a male gaze (in my understanding of the term), the man saves the woman and that's it; if he is saved, then he must save back. Here the big "saving" moments are from her to him. Female gaze can characterise both male and female characters, I don't like limiting it to just how men vs women describe women because how men vs women describe men is a huge part of the puzzle and makes the discussion more balanced. Female gaze is not inherently better or worse than male gaze, it's just flipped in some key ways for the different audience. And yep I agree that being more sensitive and pretty vs masculine and stoic is part of what makes male characters in female gazey stories so compelling to me.

[@Separatechurchnstate743]

Yes! People are saying the female gaze like it’s an actual look and not a concept

[@bluealtas9976]

People don't research terms like female gaze and the male gaze. The male Gaze refers to stuff that directors do that doesn't add anything to the plot and it's inhegerenly sexual just because they see the character like that, for example, look at the differences between Harley Quinn from Birds of prey vs. Suicide squad. While one has sexy shots of Harley dressing implying that she did it in front of a bunch of men, and the camera zooms from her feet all the way to her boobs, while the other doesn't have a sexy shoot just because. In the end, the sexy part, it's not bad, what the term "male gaze" refers to is the frame, camera angle, etc. Pandering to certain demographics.

[@Unhappytimeaper]

I feel like the internet misuses the term of Male and Female Gazes quite a lot now. The Female Gaze was a film theory that in layman's terms just wants films that don't sexualize or rely on sex appeal a lot, which is usually tasked on to women in film. The Female Gaze doesn't deny nor is saying we ought to erase sex appeal, but simply advocates for visuals that sees beauty and people in a more holistic way. There's more to it than that and many social and art theories that add on and even criticize the shortcomings of when it came out in the 20th century. These types of tiktok internet users are not qualified to give these "examples" of what even Female Gaze is.

To me the female gaze is the humanization of women. A lot of media focuses on the sexual and act of seducing a woman. A good example of the female gaze is the carriage scene in pride and prejudice, where Darcy helps Lizzie into the carriage and then flexes his hand from delight afterwards. It’s caring and loving, helping and treating a woman with respect makes women swoon. The hint of or suggestion of a man being more so “a sweet one” is what I think keeps having girls fan girl over any nerdy/shy guy.

7:01 I replayed this clip of you shrugging so many times, I don't know why I found it so funny but it was incredibly relatable

[@SneakyCatAgent]

‘Bedroom eyes’ i don’t know why but im so discusted by that just like ‘open your legs’

[@Prior2Popular]

Well, people always wanna put people in boxes because when it comes down to it Everybody has their own “gaze.”

[@thebuilder5271]

It’s so hard to believe it’s not just him disguised as different girls saying how attractive he is because I just don’t understand this lmao

[@Kaastengels]

12:31 "She's not looking at the jawline. not invited to the harem either" GIRL WHAT HAREM LMAOOO

[@annamolly7907]

I don't usually leave comments because I have severe anxiety & I know it's irrational but doing so can often cause a panic attack. Anyway this is for the algorithm. You're awesome, I love your content. You're definitely one of my favorite KZbinrs. Much love 😍🌟💞

[@Yourdailydoseofsarcasm]

You just made me realise that i have " sanpaku eyes " too and now everything makes sense 💀

[@honeyswann]

Honestly as a pan-rom demisexual, I honestly didn’t get his hype at all and I felt insane. It deadass make me question if I was truly attracted to men/masc people because I could not see what “gaze” made him attractive. Most of all, the misuse of female gaze made me even more confused . I was like, is this a straight person thing??? Was asking my partner what they thought and they were just as confused.

[@deadroomeyes8965]

I wouldn’t focus as much energy on what everybody else is feeling and learn to tap in to your own personal preferences, and let that guide you.

[@pastelmoonich]

Ikr!! Like it happens to me that i analyze and overthink the things i see on social media " well I used to overthink and overanalyze things bc of curiosity or smth..." and i got really confused and felt insane from doing it "especially when I stared focusing on the Korean industry and kpop community cause i loved their songs and wanted to have more knowledge of their culture in their industry" that to the extended i started having headeaches aches... that's why I got out of the community since the mayority was toxic asf than any other one i saw in my whole life 😭. Since then i stopped putting all my energy on anything i see or hear cause is not useful and is mentally draining you know the overthinking and overanalyzing thing idk why i was doing that for many years but now i finally figured out that it wasn't good and that it was toxic for my mental health to do and i stopped for the better. And sorry for the long text maybe this didn't have anything to do with the comment you two made idk 😅, thanks for reading till here❤️

[@annieareyouok9028]

honestly, as a pansexual person i thought the straights were trolling 😭

[@mimachocolat8413]

It's not a straight person thing. This guy would be considered (conventionally) ugly or at least creepy pretty much everywhere outside of tiktok. It's not that surprising he has an incel past, because he actually DOES look kinda threatening. The "female gaze" here is more like the hybristophile gaze lmao

[@Crystre]

Kevin somehow made my attraction to men go down by a whole 10%

[@mangomargarita285]

I know those Kevin enthusiasts are really wishing they had kept quiet rn

[@CodyHa420]

I like your dry witty comedy.. keep the interesting perspectives comin

[@sabrinah9743]

I have been looking for the term “Sanpaku” ever since I noticed Billie’s “sleepy” eyes 😱

[@raydaveed]

"2020 was almost 3 years ago." It feels like it was literally yesterday. 💀

[@Kamisuitendo]

Tell me how

[@bokutosnostril5951]

My favourite part about you is when you make jokes, it sounds so calm and casual which makes it funnier 😭

[@melaniutry]

Because of my eye shape sometimes people say that I look like I'm judging them or think I'm above them. When I smile this look disappears but my resting face gives them these vibes I guess. Some of my grade school teachers had bad impressions about me because of this but as I got older it doesn't bother me as much. I try to prove I'm kind by acting friendly.

[@chica9722]

12:13 is a LITERAL jump scare😭

[@WHAATEVEN]

Convinced it’s all an elaborate joke because he’s really giving Dream Face Reveal fr fr

[@leiagibson7102]

I cannot stop laughing at Ed's cringe facial expressions for the Shy Confident Tick Toc challenges. XD

[@katg2187]

As always you are very entertaining. Thanks for the video. Hope you feel better .

[@khushikarn4665]

13:55 I do have sanpaku eyes... I came to know about these kind of eyes about 2 years ago and then forgot about it, thanks for reminding me about it... I am not going out anywhere from now on... Lord save me🤡

[@she_evel]

I'm so sorry you have bronchitis! I was diagnosed with it 4yrs ago, I am STILL SICK AF!! I want to die!! Hope you're feeling better!!

[@lauralalu6165]

Edvasian is the funniest! 🤣 Your videos never fail to make me laugh.

[@cecilyerker]

Sanpaku eyes can sometimes point to a chronic health issue. Sanpaku eyes aren’t necessarily permanent. Robert Pattinson used to have prominent sanpaku eyes but he got a little healthier and doesn’t anymore.

[@Aisha_Gii]

As much as I try not to make fun of looks...... Kevin looks like that one teacher students would be terrified being in a room alone with.

[@Amira_Phoenix]

I forgot how good male gase gig was in Tangled 🤣

[@user-ly3li3ex8c]

He has the eyes of a Cluster B Personality

[@rainabraun1350]

"No one wants strangers looking into your search history to see you ordered the same shirt in 10 different colors" I just did that yesterday 😂😭

[@ievute8]

3:45 stop this has no business being this funny 😭😭

[@abbey5899]

As one of the female gays, I was really thrown off by whatever was going on with this one. I do not understand the hype.

[@kellyann3292]

I just subscribed, and I really enjoy your style and commentary. This story freaked me out, but it’s also interesting that I can’t see what so many others can. I do adore the sleepy eyed look of Billie. She can pull nearly anything off.

[@leeannk4790]

He gave me the creeps! I've never heard of him before KZbinrs started doing videos about the female gaze. I watched the original viral clip and it was horrible, why would anyone think that was sexy and confident? I saw other people making similar tictoks, it's all cringe AF

[@biljam972]

I don't have those 3 white eyes but I have very hooded "sad" eyes, so I always look sad or worried. I don't really care, honestly, I never want to give a flying crap to what beauty fashion dictates today is "beautiful". That fashion changes from year to year, and it's stupid to lose your head over it.

[@theAverageSarafina]

I love hearing you talk, it's so relaxing 😄

[@jungkookswife3301]

Kevin legit scares me, y'all can have him😂😂😂 Jimin's gaze will always be the most attractive anyway😌

[@kristenswanepoel1449]

This Jimin is my bias💜
