I saw something kinda interesting with regard to this recently - for the Pillow Talk mascara Charlotte Tillberry just launched the ‘before’ says ‘beautiful before’ and something like ‘my best lashes’ in the ‘after’. Her brand has a lot of issues but I was like hmm. I always feel so confronted by those before and after things, like yeah I get they’re showing the model with and without the product to demonstrate the results but yeah, idk, thought it was a cooler way to do it.

I disagree on being transparent if you've had plastic surgery. HOWEVER, it's unfair to preach 'natural beauty' if you have had work done. There are various reasons for getting plastic surgery and not all reasons are comfortable to talk about. And you're so right about the fact that men don't get shamed for their surgeries... Why can't people just mind their own business?? 😂

Agreed- I think natural beauty is from the inside. The outside is what we can change and what we can show to be beautiful, but to me, a person with a terrible personality can be as beautiful as anything, but i wouldn't see them as beautiful.

[@LaurenElizabethxxxx]

Whenever this debate of plastic surgery comes up, I always think back to the “Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge” and how girls were literally bruising their faces trying to look like her because she insisted for the longest time she never had work done. Like sis, it’s obvious you went under the knife and it’s whatever. But when girls are naive enough to think they can get big lips naturally like that is insane.

[@Ali_D_Katt]

If you're going to promote or develop/sell a product that supposedly enhances the attribute you had plastic surgery on you have to disclose that is slimey and underhanded. For example Kylie with her lip kits or her skincare line she has had her lips done and she uses products and contraptions on her face that are inaccessible to a normal person. She's not getting that skin using only her own skincare line and it would be bullshit if she implied so. If you aren't in a field that you are trying to influence people to try to obtain your look that's fine. If you craft or play video games on youtube it would be weird to bring up your fake boobs.

I’m in the medical field and I don’t understand why people think body positivity and obesity having certain health consequences are mutually exclusive concepts. It’s not as if people can (or should) just suddenly lose a bunch of weight in a day so how does it make sense to say that people somehow deserve to be miserable and shamed until they do so. And healthy weight management is a privilege in itself on so many levels, from financial to medical to simply having the time and energy. Even for myself, by medical standards I could probably stand to lose a couple pounds but instead I’m working 90 hours a week at the hospital. Am I not allowed to feel even a little bit confident in my appearance between now and when I’m finally cachectic and lying in my casket probably at age 40 from being overworked? Lol.

In Australia we have tertiary education called TAFE that provides training for trades, hospitality, vet nursing, childcare, tech etc. Its government run and the fees are HUGELY less expensive than university.

That’s why people are less inclined to promote America’s broken college system. I wish we had free community college like other places :(

[@ambernicole.]

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. There’s a ton of scholarships and grants available to POC and other ethnicities that have opened many doors. And I think women in general are underpaid. Also, when I job hunt on indeed like nearly every job is only willing to offer $15 an hour and want a college degree.. I think that’s a huge problem because you can’t live off of that. A decent one bedroom is 1,000 a month. Add all bills, utilities, groceries, and student loan payments?? It’s one reason I stopped going to college. Not worth it to get a degree when your almost slapped in the face with $15 an hour pay.

[@CA-pr2gp]

@@ambernicole. I disagree. Rather I think the issue is not getting into college, but not being payed as much when you get out. Search up racial wage gaps White women are payed around 70 cents on the dollar, while black women are payed 64 cents and native women are payed a mere 50 cents.

[@Gyaradosage]

The idea of higher education is wonderful and everyone should be able to explore specialized topics from the world around them. That being said, the system that we have is total bullshit and I don’t blame people for hating it. It’s not about the education. It’s about the astronomical prices and getting trapped in financial ruin after attending, or how difficult it is to get in depending on who you are and where you’re from. It’s total bullshit.

You’re right in general but saying “no other country obsesses over fabric like America does” is demonstrably wrong. Off the top of my head, look at how much people in Brazil love their flag. Also, it’s not illegal to burn the US flag (even if people will get really offended if you do and trump, of course, seems to want to make it illegal), but it IS illegal to do that in France, for example. Americans can absolutely be obnoxious with our flag (and god, it’s annoying), but we definitely aren’t the only ones.

Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the US, after tobacco use. Deaths from eating disorders are relatively rare. We have a horrible obesity crisis that is shortening newer generations lifespans. Yes, anorexia, bulimia are horrible but the death toll is nothing compared to obesity. Anorexia might get more media attention because it affects a lot of celebrities and white, upper class women. Obesity affects more people especially those in poverty.

[@madisonkidwell4883]

Your comment about plus size models not having double chins is very true and accurate. I have always found a lot of plus size "inclusivity" to be very preformstive and lackluster. For instance most plus size models I think hold their weight in certain places, they are never heavy in the face or stomach or arms, they hold their weight in their thighs, butt and boobs; and are taller so their being a larger size never looks that noticeable if that makes any sense. I'm not plus size, but close to it at a size 12-14, but as someone who holds a lot of their weight in their stomach it very much sends the message of "it's okay to be a little heavier just not in those places". I have the same feelings about the body trend shifting to "thicc" women which is that same shape of having bigger boobs, thighs and butt but having a tiny waist and stomach. I have also noticed people praising brands for being "inclusive" when in reality they just have like 2 plus sized models. Having 5 models that are size zero and 5 models that are size 20 is still only two sizes. Sorry that was kind of a long rant.

[@alrightwhatever]

i feel like college is such a sensitive topic. there are so many factors that can determine whether or not an individual will be successful in college (or if they can even get there). an education IS right for everyone. it’s just not accessible to all because the US college system doesn’t cater to those who need it just to get their foot in the door.

When you touched on college I started sobbing I’m a high school freshman and currently college isn’t on my mind I have thought about it and it just doesn’t seem like a good fit for me, but I have had teachers flat out tell me if you don’t go to college you will end up working at McDonald’s your entire life. It has put me in a really bad point in my life because all my teachers don’t tell students that don’t want to go to college what to do, or even that we have any job options. Anyway your point of view is very similar to how I feel and you don’t normally hear an adult talk about it that way.

[@nicoleedwards5708]

second year college student here! i was sobbing the other week over the fact that i’m almost done with my general ed which means i have to transfer to university soon. i realized college wasn’t for me wayyy too late in the game (ideally it’s never too late to change your mind but finances, family members & pressure can get in the way of that mentality). anyways, my advice is to look into trades! things like cosmetology, fire academies, fasion design, freelance writing, art, whatever sounds appealing to you! there’s nothing stopping you from making your hobby into your job. and if you have a structured plan by the time you get out of high school, you’re more likely to be taken seriously & supported by the people around you :)

Which really i can have an option on but i have no say in it so really blah I dont wanna keep hearing about it all the time. I dont think that just because someone has a influence that they should use that platform to talk about politics, especially if they arent fully educated on what they are talking about. Politics are extremely divisive, so I think its totally fair for someone not to want to walk into that minefield.

I kind of like the idea (for the politics and makeup/consumption thing) that it shouldn't matter if it doesn't become part of the companies core. Within the makeup community this applies/applied to companies like Kat Von D. and Jefree Star because when you buy from those brands you are buying from a company whose core "face" are the problems with the company. I think to some degree brands like chick fil a have similar issues because they make their religion a part of their branding (closures on Sunday and the religion focus on their website).

As a personal trainer I’ve had to explain body positivity to many clients. Having body positivity is something everyone should have regardless of your weight. Of course being physically healthy is important, but being mentally healthy is just as important. Everyone’s bodies are happy at different weights. Whatever feels healthy and natural for you is fine! You are allowed to love yourself while also still working on bettering yourself. There can be so many reasons why someone is naturally heavier, including medical issues, medications, food sensitivities, genetics, etc. As long as your are paying attention to what you eat (strict diets don’t work) and you’re getting physical activity of some sort done every day, you’re fine. I also 100% agree that most “plus sized” models are NOT plus sized at all lol. I’m like.... she’s just curvy! Wtf! This was a great video and I always love hearing your opinions.

I was discussing something on reddit with someone that wanted to teach me about a country that is like a sister to mine. Like they are almost the same country.. i have family in there, i’ve been there numerous times, i have friends there, talk to people from there, their tv programs are broadcasted here and i learned about their history when i was in both school and highschool. So someone from the US that visited that country once or twice is not going to lecture me on something i know because it’s basically as if i lived there. People in latin america can’t tell that country’s accent apart from mine because they are almost the same. Also what that person on reddit was saying was wrong, not because i say so, but because history and people from that country say so. (I knew they were from the US because they followed several subreddit’s about their state like ‘oklahoma politics’, ‘oklahoma people’ or ‘oklahoma thoughts’ + they said they were from the US. -i don’t know if those subreddit’s exist and that person probably wasn’t from that state, i just wanted to put an example).

neu dae and that shows up with the racism and xenophobia you guys experience and those being taken to such extremes. Black history (US history) not being taught at schools when it’s literally part of your history. I don’t know if they teach you about native americans at school but even here we are taught about that part of US history, Malcolm X, MLK and racism as a whole. Do you learn about the history of white people only? Like only the lives of white politicians? Edit: my point is that when you are used to only listening and seeing how great your country and history is and while not caring or wanting to learn about the rest of the world, you are less likely to be tolerant of someone else’s culture or way of acting/being/behaving. You won’t understand why things are the way they are in other cultures because you were never taught that. It’s easier to discriminate when the only values you know are those of your own culture. That’s why it’s so shocking for some people in the US when they see how women dress and behave in some middle eastern countries and stuff.

They focused on Canada, then expanded further after the fact or in conjunction. My ex girlfriend who was French didnt now much of anything about American or Canadian history.

When I was a teenager I was a huge punk and very against "the system" as many teenagers are. When I left high school I had a negative view on college or university because I felt like going into debt to work a work a job was feeding into the system that I was so actively fighting against. I was huge on the rhetoric of " I dont need college I'll find what work makes me happy and live my life free of the constraints of society!" I was VERY much on the ""college is LAME!" Boat. I spent my years after high school working low paying jobs and going to punk rock shows and the beach and making art projects. It was a lot of fun in the beginning but once I turned 25 I was tired of the low paying service jobs I was working and desperately wanted more in my life. I realized the only way to get out of the cycle I was in was to get a degree and take internships and work towards a career that I reallly wanted. After starting college I realized its not lame at all. It pushes you in ways I had no idea about. It teaches you how to work in teams and take peer feedback and how to give peer feed back. It teaches you how to network yourself and interview properly and besides that it opens you up to areas of study and world views you may not have had an intrerest in. It is expenisve and it is hard but the struggle really did push me to do more and make my work professional as well as creative. Now I may have just had a good experience at a good university but when I hear teenagers who are on their college is lame shtick it just reminds me of how I was and how wrong I was.
