the sexualisation of Sydney Sweeney

[@SerenaSkybourne]

Part two is up now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aarPnIlrg9WXmassi=2kf4A6ClNhEpwK2R

[@jaimecardona92]

I think all the other stuff around euphoria (sam levinson effect) seeps into the perception of Sydney Sweeney. What she tried to portray with her character got twisted and transplanted on to herself as a person. She's not done anything outside of normal starlet behavior, but unfortunately people build their own narratives of people.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

Totally agree, people can’t separate a character from the actor

[@carrington2949]

She is actually pretty low key for a starlet. She goes to the necessary events and functions. Other than that, she is pretty tame especially on social media. She’s a smart girl.

I wish people understood that more attention does NOT mean more respect. Beautiful women just get more attention. Often that puts them in the path of not good people just as much as opportunities. Thank you for the video, Serena, I appreciate it.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

attention does not equal respect, I totally agree… and sometimes it’s the kind of attention that makes you uncomfortable

[@milkflavored]

This is honestly why I’m okay with not being “hot” as I get older. The attention I received when I first developed was so wildly upsetting to me, I spent a lot of teenage years wearing hoodies and wishing I could disappear

@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 I wish more people understood the nuance of the situation like you guys do. Sometimes we literally just want to disappear and not feel so "observed" by the world, and other times maybe we're feeling more confident and enjoy being admired. But it certainly feels awful when you know you're not being admired and just creeped on

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

@@SerenaSkybourne Absolutely, it all has to do with autonomy. Of course every person, man and woman, can want to choose times to be admired physically. Such as, attending a gala, dressed up, with your partner. I try to always directly admire my partner when he puts effort into dressing up, he wants me to notice, and I do 🙂But when you have no choice or control over the 'admiration', it sends the message that you are just a body, and your body is not your own. This does not feel good, and women who fit into certain 'molds' for desirability, especially of the curvy type, get so many messages their body is considered community property, something to be publicly debated and ogled and controlled. I worry so much about Sydney, she is getting so, so, so much of this treatment right now, I hope she has a great support system in place. It used to wear me down all the time when I was younger, it has gotten so much better as I have gotten older. So I would say, sincerely, Serena, I follow your channel because I love your mind, and I am sincerely sorry you have had to deal with people who choose to not focus on your mind because of your body. It is not a compliment when they do that, and you deserve better. I hope it does not get in the way of your ability to love your body and your youth (because it is fleeting!) and I hope you know there are so many women who relate and support you. And it really does get better, promise. ❤ Thank you for your work, I will stay tuned. (P.S., have been at least a D cup my whole life so absolutely back up everything you're saying here as it is especially trying for women with such a shape)

As someone who developed at 13 i relate "sexualising herself" so much

[@gabriellemeche992]

Same here. I started developing at ten or maybe after and I remember my teachers being so creepy about it. Then I started thinking that my boobs were my whole personality and it's been... hard to unlearn a lot of things I put myself in. It's objectively something new and very weird considering I was the tried and true ugly duckling as a child.

same I developed at 11 and I haven't worn any clothes besides a boxy shirt for 5 years

[@nicematerial]

The thing I've always been struck by is how few styles bustier women can wear without people feeling comfortable to talk about them. The exact same shirt. The exact same style, and the comments are ALL "She knows what she's doing", etc. and it's most definitely not only men who do it. Have you seen Brittany Venti's video about the alt-right meltdown about a certain influencer (I think the thumbnail says 'she just wanted to bake a cake')? It's a woman with a somewhat large chest wearing the most conservative shirt. Tailoring is apparently self-sexualization... For every progress we've made as a society, large breasts are still seen as some collectively owned possession. It's freakin weird.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

I wish I could like this comment twice 🙏

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

It really is difficult to wear anything as a bustier person. We can’t help that. No matter how much we try to suck in or cover up, they will always stick out. People need to stop sexualizing everything.

Also the double standard affects clothing. Women with big breasts are supposed to be the goal but... IT IS SO FREAKING HARD TO FIND USEFUL BRAS AAAAAA

Your example is probably about Estee Williams. This women actually angles her camera in a way that enhances breasts AND also has implants. So is not a normal video of a conservative large brested women, it's actually a sexualizing thing. Compare her with the women in Unnatural Vegan chanel - that's how a large brested women looks in video not suposed for hype.

[@lindseystein9676]

I empathize with this topic so much. By age 15 I was a 32DDD. And I’m only 5 feet 5inches, thin bone structure & thin in general, so my breasts have always been disproportionate with the rest of me. I know all too well what it’s like being sexualized, wanting to avoid certain styles of clothing. I even used to buy shirts and dresses one size up from what I usually would do I could alter them myself so clothes would fit properly. It was my major insecurity. Im in my 30’s now and thankfully my insecurity around that is better

I remember always trying to find the larger sizes to make sure my chest wasn’t seen when I was in middle school and early high school. It was so awkward being one of the first in my grade to hit DDs. Now I feel a lot less self conscious about it, but it was certainly a time.

[@ubermut1379]

As someone who also grew up with big boobs… I can relate to a lot of things you describe. My grandmother always asked me if my teachers were alright with me having cleavage down to my „bellybutton“ (huge exaggeration). I have never felt ashamed of my body. But people want me to be. One of my former friends used it against me claiming that I was „preferred“ by others because I have big boobs. This related to my JOB, FYI. Just ridiculous jealousy. What I also hate is how difficult it is to find bras and bikinis that fit and how much you have to pay. To all the jealous people and those who want me cover up more: trust me - I’m already paying for it. And if I choose to show cleavage - I do it because it looks nice. Deal with it. I also noticed how terribly some of Sydney Sweeneys clothes are fitted, ESPECIALLY the bikini in „anyone but you“. I don’t understand why they didn’t try to put her into something that fit. SHE‘S THE MAIN CHARACTER. This should be within the budget! They could have made it custom! And even though getting a well fitting bikini with big boobs is expensive for the average person, I’m sure they could have come up with the 60-200€ a well fitting bikini would have cost. 💀

[@LadyQAB]

I have had such similar experiences as you! I'm not ashamed of my big boobs, never have been. I actually like them they fit my frame and body type and it looks nice. But you're so right that bras and bikini's are so much more expensive! It's ridiculous. Also one downside I do have, and have had since I was 15 is that I have upper back and shoulder problems because of the weight of my boobs. I learned to live with it I feel it like every day.

[@Mochalolo1928]

I think she’s a wonderful actress who has recently been getting miscast bc she is so beautiful/sexy. She could be the most iconic scream queen to ever do it! She needs raw and gritty roles which match her tone. She’s not a romcom kind of girl and I think it’s making people miss her talent bc she has such a dry delivery, but if she had the right roles… man, she would thrive!

[@meghansullivan6812]

Right exactly!!!!

[@nixiemartian4658]

14:53 She even talked about it herself. But a lot of dresses for red carpets are loaned out by fashion houses.And they don't always customize the dress and just send sample sizes. She spoke about that with her partnership with miu miu, that they were one of the few to actually do that, and she is excited to have red carpet clothes that fit. So, stylists definitely know what they're doing.They just have to work with what they're loaned and thats hie these celebrities are wearing certain outfits and jewlery to most red carpets. Something like the met gala, where they're usually creating something from scratch is not the norm and can take months of years to prep.

[@violeticious9197]

As a busty lady myself, I wanna add that with big boobs, the more you try to hide them, the bigger they look. As you said in T-shirt, or if you wear a turtleneck, they look like balloons. While with a little bit of cleavage, the fabric visually cuts them and actually makes them look smaller.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

RIGHT!

[@maheennaseem9677]

What i do not like is that she getting roles that do not suit her skill set.. her looks say 'blonde bombshell that should in sweet and sexy roles' but her acting skills are perfect for a psychological thrill or horror movies... the spin she put on Cassie during season 2 was amazing.... any other actress would have made Cassie annoying and unlikeable.. but her crazy spin on cassie resulted in everyone on social media demanding she is put in villain, horror and psycho crazy roles..because she had 'final girl' energy...In Madame Webb (the terrible movie that made it to Netflix) I paused on her during fight scenes and the way she would look at the 'bad guy' made my skin crawl in fear because she had the villain vibe... even in her rom com there is a scene where she takes the guy to the top of ship and the way she walks and stares into space... I thought she was going to push him off the edge.. Syndey Sweeney is naturally gifted with a set of skills that any serious actor would kill to have... people spend years on their craft to develop the skills Sydney Sweeney has... she needs a new agent and team that will push her in the right direction based on talent and not her looks

[@cougsjohnson1]

As a Guy who grew up very shy, I really have a lot of empathy for Girls who developed really early & "NEVER" wanted any attention like this. I was also Sexualized after puberty by older Women & hated any attention, even nicer unsolicited compliments. However, I realized that the Girls went through was 10x worse, therefore I really felt for them. Ironically, the majority of my Girlfriends in College, ended up being Girls who had large boobs, which they often hated. By 25, I started finding it odd that so many of the Girls I dated were in this category. Finally I started asking them why they graviated towards me. I found that their answers were identical. "Because they said I never even looked at them below eye contact, until after we were intimate". My ex was actually worried at first that I didn't like her boobs, which she pleasantly found out was "Not" the case 😊. In a nutshell, if you can make it past the awkward young phase, and learn to ignore the awful trolls. Then the benefits can end up winning later on! There's nothing wrong with showing empathy to people you think have it easy, when actually, it may not always look as easy at it seems (To you)

I just think it's ashame that it keeps happening to curvy women. As a curvy woman, myself, I got a lot of it in high school and still a little bit now. No, we are not dressing a curtain way for you, we wear a dress sometimes that fits us. Sydney Sweeney is talented and I would argue that the girl Margo, in anyone but you is wayyy more "putting it out there" than her character was.

[@coss1]

While I don't think women dress a certain way solely for the gaze of men, to claim Sydney does not exploit her body in someways is just untrue, especially if you have watched some of her interviews. She admits that she leans into her assets and uses them to her advantage. There's nothing wrong with that and she should not be objectified because of it, but she still does it to some extent.

I developed hips and a butt very shortly after puberty around 10-11, while attending a mostly white elementary school as a Black girl, and sprouted a larger-end B cup in quick succession. Obviously small in hindsight, but in the environment I was in, that chest size was huge. I also hit puberty in 2007, a year where 00's fatphobia was still rampant (Surprise! I wasn't actually fat, though!). So, I was simultaneously fat-shamed by AND sexualized by peers and adults, told I couldn't wear clothing my peers were allowed to because I would "attract the wrong attention", and had my diet restricted. Fast forward to 27, and I still have my big hips, an even larger butt....plus triple D's. Sadly, the sexualization has not stopped even from my own gender, and I fail to feel comfortable in my own skin. I find it really unfortunate that it is so socially acceptable to openly comment on women's bodies, despite the awareness of the damage doing so causes to not only to adult women but additionally to young girls whose worldviews are forming through observation.

human beings are sexual beings, if a healthy heterosexual man see a woman withing some age-range, they will see the female human being first, at least unconsciously. if someone denies that, either asexual or a liar. but this doesn't mean any kind of disgusting comment or any kind of insulting behaviour, of course.

But it was still very much worth it. The pain was extremely manageable, I think I took a pain pill one time and if I had it done now I don't think I even would. I had mine done right before the world got shut down for Covid and I worked in a restaurant so we were shut down so I did not have to work, but they advised me to take at least 4 weeks off from lifting my arms above my head and I was lucky I could take even longer to do that.

I completely agree about sexualization and the negative effects it brings. But something that irritates me is how some of these extremely standard women come up with the speech of "I'm helping women by showing my body, not being ashamed of their body", when they are often being seen as the standard to be looked at and followed. Not saying that it should be easy to have big breasts, but many women would die (and die with complications from silicone implants) to have these difficulties. Big breasts should stop being worshiped and period, it's just a part of the human body, but unfortunately we know that won't happen. Women with big breasts will continue to be sexualized and women with small breasts will continue to pay with their money and sometimes their lives for breast implants.

While AYE don’t love Sidney Sweeny… It was a VERY smart choice to use her as the main subject/title to talk about this really important issue. She is relevant to the topic, is VERY popular and polarizing right now, and her situation/the storyline that her as of now most famous character are dealing with are PERFECT for discussing the topic. Also, we don't have to like anyone to also understand that some things done to them are NOT GOOD. People need to understand that it is okay to have empathy or sympathy for bad things happening to people you either don't like or don't particularly care about or know. Just like it’s okay to call out and critique bad behaviors or takes from people you DO like or love. Several things can exist at once. 😌

[@jjdracula]

Now that I think about it, it feels really obvious that it isn't only people with smaller boobs who face the clothing issue. As a slim person with A cups I always struggle to find clothes that fit, especially dresses. Usually because there is too much room up top for boobs that I just don't have. I have so many amazing items of clothing in my wardrobe waiting to be altered because they fit me like a glove literally everywhere but my chest, where there's just this excess of material that looks awful. I hadn't ever thought about the fact that people with bigger bra sizes would have the same issue in the opposite way. It would be so great if companies started offering body sizes and bra sizes separately on clothes so that they can be made for each individual person. It wouldn't fix every issue, and obviously it would be too inconvenient and expensive for any company to actually consider, but I think about that a lot, and how much easier it would make clothes shopping for me.

Everyone had an opinion on my breasts, when i was 12 I had an aunty say she was jealous of them ffs 🙃 I learnt quickly that my body needed to be hidden, but then people started assuming I was overweight and commented on that. At 26 I’m still trying to find the confidence to wear what I want without the insecurity of knowing that peoples eyes are drawn straight to my chest. I’m saddened that so many people feel then need to relate any of Sydney’s attributes to the size of her chest, its legit just another body part. The size of your feet have nothing to do with your intelligence or skills so why would the size of your breasts indicate any less

[@moondanak]

This is the thing that really bothered me about Sydney Sweeney. I noticed that, for example, Zendaya got praised for her acting the character of Rue, and I'm not hating on Zendaya. She is undoubtedly very talented and deserves the praise she gets. But I felt like Sydney was also a spectacular actress, especially watching her on season 2 of Euphoria gave me chills and her acting performance was amazing. But no one seemed to pay attention to that. And this made me really sad.

[@CLJ112]

😂 you're just jealous of Zendaya so you bring her up to praise your idol little Titney. Ask yourself a question you think your idol Titney made it without a casting couch 🤔

[@Sympathy_forLadyVengeance]

She did get nominated for an Emmy

I can relate so much to this. I developed early and had boobs when I was like 12 or 13. It was a nightmare. I wore baggy cloth and did really nothing to "provoke" the creeps- but still...I was bullied by other girls and sexualized by men. When I gotten older, I leaned more into my femininity however, I always were aware of how I dressed, especially in a professional setting. Wearing minimizer bras and special underwear to reduce my bust. I lost weight now and my bust isn't as big anymore- and it's so much easier to dress. I don't think people now how hard it is to find tops, bulses if you have big boobs.

I think you are preaching to the choir. People who want to be respectful are already doing exactly that, and the ones who want to hurt others, and those who don't care will never be reached. I also wish the world would be a better place, but only individuals are able understand and change, I fear we as a species will never be able to escape our nature. There are things in this world we can change, but I think human nature is not one of them. All we can do is accept that it is what it is and protect ourselves as well as possible from the dangerous ones.

[@may.k_me]

I hate the term "asking for it" It's so gross because 100% of the time the person was definitely NOT asking for any of it. Society places these weird conditions on girls and women but it doesn't matter what you do, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

[@tigersily]

as someone who also developed early, and had DD's by 8th grade with a slender body, it was often uncomfortable. i would have older men hitting on me and sexualizing me, which was very confusing and difficult to navigate at that age. also, what you said about trying to find fitting clothes brought back many memories of trying to find clothes that fit. i remember i couldnt comfortably wear a one piece suit (also have a long torso), and the only way i could find a suit that fit was to get a 2 piece, but not the ones that were sold as sets, i needed 2 different sizes, (small bottoms, large top). also, buying shirts was a nightmare, i either had to be swimming in an oversized shirt, or get one that fits and would spend a lot of time trying to stretch out the part that covered my breasts prior to wearing it. i just remember being uncomfortable with the way ppl treated me bc of my body and always trying to cover up as much as i could. also, breast reduction surgery is expensive and not without risks. ive dreamed of getting it one day, but surgery is scary to me.

[@SpeedbreakerNo1]

I honestly don't know if this is a good or bad thing to say, but I really don't care that much about these things. Sure, I can acknowledge someone's beauty, but that doesn't mean that I'm drooling like a cartoon character because of it. In case of you or Sydney Sweeney, I can say that both of you look quite beautiful, but there's nothing else beyond that that I feel about this topic. You are just too young for me and that alone is enough to not go any further in my head. Of course, that may not be the case with everyone else out there. And chest size is not everything that makes a woman attractive. It can help, sure, but there is more to it.

[@loveart429]

Love your title omg

[@gravity-arbor]

Yeah it’s clever eh !

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

My experience with this is somewhere in the middle. I naturally want to cover my cleavage. That is my preference, but it is impossible to hide sometimes. For a while, I couldn’t wear any nice outfits without some creepy old man hitting on me. I felt unsafe. And the guys, at any age, who are attracted to me or at least say it directly, are the ones who only see me as a booty call. That is another story, but how I am shaped may play into that. There was a moment where I was walking around in my neighborhood and I was not aware of how see through my shirt was and this woman just give me the worst dirty look ever. Bigger boobs make it worse because that is how people see you. Made me want to cover them more. I agree with the double standards. Bigger boobs is what people want and strive for, but on the other hand, they get demeaned due to objectification.

[@loveart429]

You totally slayed in this vid and your points are really thought provoking. Love

[@mikeb7195]

I'm kind of conflicted about this video. I think you touched on some very valid points--women are often hypersexualized despite them just trying to exist. However, this pertains to your average woman; when it comes to celebrities, I think you are underestimating just how calculated the entertainment industry is. When Sydney is literally busting out of her dress, I think it's naive to assume that it is because she can't find clothes that fit properly, she's not aware of what she's doing, etc. This could be the case with you, or other women like you who aren't being examined from all angles 24/7, but almost certainly does not apply to Sydney. As you said, she's a bright woman--she (and her team) would almost certainly KNOW exactly how she's being perceived by the public, its their entire job. The fact is, when a young, beautiful woman is literally BUSTING out of her dress, it is very appealing to men, and she plays this up. Which is fine, she should get her bag. But I don't think we should treat her as though she is just any average person who is just trying to live with huge boobs.

[@juliaruhle1211]

I really appreciate this, I feel like this is a very important conversation to have

[@caffeinateducate]

You're 100% correct, I'm so glad you brought this topic up -- I think it definitely needs to be discussed more frequently, the kind of toll that having that ostensibly, supposedly "sexy" body type has on young women, especially when they're in the stoplight, and how people perceive them and mistreat them. I enjoyed this video, it gave me and my friends a lot to talk about (rant about) on our way home.

[@lenakataeva7525]

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

I was thinking about when that one executive try to disparage Sydney..it was projection and shaming to the extreme. Sydney and Christina Hendricks are a callback to the 1960's where they would have been celebrated not shamed. I have always been drawn to the hourglass figure. Let Sydney be Sydney... whatever she decides that will be.

[@XxLostFinalGirlxX]

I've had big breasts since I was 15 and any male attention I've gotten from men have been about nothing else.. I was gr00med by both a 19 year old and 22 year old when I was 15 because I thought they liked me and being that young of course I loved it but didn't really notice until years later that the only reason a 19 and 22 year old men would talk to a 15 year old girl is because girls at that age are naive and wouldn't fully understand what motives they have especially when 15 year old girls will always think we're special when any guy talks to us and makes us feel special. But as I got older and men were still s3xualing me I started opening my eyes and have gotten more insecure and I'm very cautious when it comes to men talking to me because my mind automatically goes to "ok he's talking to me because he wants something from me that I'm not comfortable with." It sucks because it would be nice to meet a great guy that's not automatically thinking about my chest but i just have very little trust issues because of how a lot of men are.. to be clear I know there are good guys there who aren't like these men so shoutout to those amazing men but sadly those toxic men overshadow the good and respectful ones and make it hard to even trust the good and respectful men and it's awful because it's not their fault..

[@may.k_me]

I think she's a decent actress. I haven't watched all of her work. But some of it. I don't perceive her as sexy (not just because i'm mostly straight). I don't think she gives off sexy vibes. She's a pretty woman, with a hot body. But like you said, she isn't trying to appear sultry. Selma Hayek is sexy effortlessly. But i also wonder if i'm falling into the trappings of perceiving latin women a certain way. Most of the time we are projecting onto actors and that is unfortunate. But even in real life you are judged by appearance first and THEN on your personality/behaviour/actions.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

This could be an issue with society as well because we’re taking one look at someone’s physical appearance and making assumptions, rather than judging based on their body language, expressions, aura etc

[@may.k_me]

@SerenaSkybourne it's definitely a societal issue worldwide. I wasn't excusing or rationalising the behavior of people commenting about her. Just observing that it is how most people operate in every facet of life.

[@may.k_me]

I remember my best friend's younger sister (who went to a different school from us) got horribly bullied when she was younger because she developed faster. And she was objectified by her male classmates. Also, i think she was touched inappropriately one time, which they laughed off as a joke. However the school did nothing about it. So her parents changed her school.

[@nixiemartian4658]

20:35 She doesn't have a college degree actually, a lot of her backstory was being called into question. There is a really interesting video that calls her out for lying in that it's just a pr campaign. You're point still stands, though. Just wanted to point that out

[@LilShopofAli]

I'm so glad someone is talking about this. I'm also someone who developed early and went through puberty early. It's always fascinated me the way people hypersexualize women with large breasts and the way even women will participate in it. When women complain about the downsides to having big boobs, people act like we're being whiny babies who aren't appreciating what they perceive as "god's gift." Like women who have small breasts certainly experience judgement and criticism for looking "masculine" or boyish, but I think some people feel like women with big boobs are just living the dream and must be so in love with the fact that they have big boobs when in reality it can make us feel awkward due to the way people treat you because of it. People would always make comments about my cleavage growing up to the point that even today I rarely show my cleavage. On the rare occasion that I do, I always feel a little self-conscious, like I am trying to get attention because that's how people perceive it.

[@LadyQAB]

Omg big boobs represent! I find that I hear very few perspectives from people with big boobs. Like in movies when (or even the actors) when they complain that they would rather go without a corset because it would be more comfortable. I would probably not be more comfortable if I were to just let the ladies hang loose. And dont get me started on the sexualisation. Also Finding clothes that fit is such a nightmare, and you are so right about the baggy clothes they make you look massive. We need a waist otherwise we are just shaped like a square. I wear a lot of botton downs and I have to get them 1 size up because otherwise the bottons will pop open, if you stuff the rest in your trousers (preferably high waisted) you won't look like you're swumming in it 😅 Can you feel I how many opinions I have about this topic?

[@TOFKAS01]

" I find that I hear very few perspectives from people with big boobs" As to speak with the famous Jessica Rabbit. "I am not bad, I was just painted that way."

I agree with everything you said. This video was so well spoken and I'm glad you made it as someone who has dealt with similar issues in your life. I adore Sydney Sweeney and the disgusting comments people make about her body saddens me. As someone who developed when they were 9 and now has 38DD Bra Size, I can relate to those things myself.

[@Isabelle-hv6ny]

I have a larger chest which began developing since I was 10/11. So out of nowhere people had an issue that I did not wear a bra. I did not needed one then and it was sonconfusing. Now I need it and I still feel not comfortable with my breasts because even in a Tshirt they are obvious and I love to wear tops that show cleavage but I always feel like I am sexualizing myself when I wear them. I am only comfortable when I'm with friends

[@sophiaspringsofficial]

Thank you so much for talking about this! Like you said, when women with certain body types go out, people will say they’re asking to be s*xualized, when really it’s just their body. I think something that plays a part, at least that I’ve encountered, is so many people were raised to feel entitled, and one way this continues as an adult is thinking “I’m attracted to this person, so they MUST also be attracted to me, so they chose to have the kind of body I’m attracted to, to get my attention.” I also think a lot of men have such a poor sense of women’s anatomy and think that women choose their bra size, so women with bigger busts _chose_ that kind of body, so clearly they want s*xual attention

[@lynseyfahs8628]

Yes!! This whole essay is on point. I have also been busty since a young age and it just isn’t fair the things I can’t wear comfortably but my flatter chest friends can. And its not that I feel uncomfortable, I know I look good, but the way society treats me, the way men look at me, the shade women throw at me, its like, helloooo I am just existing. I love how you says its like they are projecting their feelings on to us busty gals because it is SO TRUE

[@damonrouzerjr6895]

Let me start by saying that Sydney is an awesome person from interviews and her social media posts you can tell she's very down to earth or to use the famous Hollywood line - "Celebrities, they're just like us". Granted you can say that about the majority of the Euphoria cast. As a big "Euphoria" fan you can tell that yeah the show is "edgy" or "risque" but that's real life, and another thing about the cast is that they're playing basically their polar opposites on the show ( Zen playing a drug addict although she's got "The Disney good girl / " image, Sydney being over sexualized when irl she's basically a tomboy, Alexa being a mean girl when in all accounts she's super sweet , Although Gia's more quiet and off to the side bottling her feelings until she's at her breaking point, Storm's more vibrant/cheery , dancing and hanging with friends and all around outgoing (also JUSTICE FOR GIA STORYLINE) I'm pretty sure if Rue and the rest of them are like at least juniors/seniors (11th/12th grade ) at this point Gia would at least be in 9th going into 10th grade so we should at be seeing her interacting more with the "older kids" a lot more at this point or at least give her a group of Gen Z counterparts of the older cast ( an social media influencer , the emotionally damaged jock , the misunderstood sweet "hot girl" but she actually knows and actively uses it in ways Cassie wouldn't really do, then we could have Gia have a close friend who reminds her of Rue that she tries to look out for because she's seen what Rue's gone through but now she actually getting to see drug addiction on someone other than her sister. Be it a best friend character or love interest. Look JUST GIVE GIA A REAL STORYLINE. Sorry for my Euphoria rant. What I'm trying to say is that Sydney is a great actress beyond her Physically appearance (Hell her biggest moment on the show wasn't even a scene where she was nude..... AND WE CAN'T BE ANY MORE HAPPIER)

[@jasper3033]

[@Left-wing-bills]

People are more than their looks, Personality is attractive

[@SolitaryGem]

Having big boobs as a woman is so hard. From back pain to judgement to expensive bras. I also developed early and hated having big boobs. I was a 40G at my heaviest and event after losing weight, I was still a G cup. Just a 28G. Luckily insurance covered a breast reduction and having it early last year is one of the best decisions I've ever made. But I don't think women should have to get a reduction if they don't want to. People should just be respectful.

[@davidsumner7604]

The guys who are making rude comments are motivated by envy. They will either never have a lover as beautiful as her or they feel like she is allowed to live a life of comfort & enjoyment that they never will. It's purely designed to make them feel better about their own feelings of inadequacy and resentment. To what you said about women not being able to win; if by "winning" you mean pleasing everyone, that is correct. If you are a famous there will always be groups of people who think you should be doing something other than what you are doing. If you are flat chested, you will be pressured by one group to get augments. If you get augments, you will be pressured by another group that is turned off by that. Most of the time it's people in those other groups resenting that you are not doing what they would do in your situation. This is why girls must be taught self confidence tempered by accountability and objectivity. Everyone needs to be able to dispassionately weigh their own actions and decide whether they are doing what they should or if they should change.

I absolutely think that Sydney Sweeney's skill and knowledge are overlooked because of a focus on her appearance.

I’m a man and love Sydney Sweeney - she can do no wrong. She’s one of the most beautiful women to ever live and a very kind person. Immaculate was great! I think she and Mia Goth should collaborate on a horror film! I also think it’s awful that a woman loses respect and gets blacklisted if she does a nude scene. All actors, regardless of gender, should not be ostracized or treated like a “piece of meat” if they ever do a nude scene. If an actor does do a nude scene, it shouldn’t be expected of them for every project or hurt their career. Hollywood hasn’t changed much sadly since #metoo.

But anyway I definitely think she has potential to be more than a "sex symbol" and I'm sure she's a sweet girl :)

Your argument is in contrast to the nature of men and women. Men desire such a frame and women wish to have it. Yes there is bad you have to take with the good, You can always have them reduced if you’d like but I doubt you or any possible suiter want that. Love how you say boobs by the way.,
