We're heading towards a beauty standards dystopia

[@lankeydragon6035]

Why do you worry people won't watch? I can only speak for me, but a new video from you is an event. Please give yourself more credit. You deserve it.

[@KnowsBestNever]

Because of the harsh realities of how youtube works. Video success is dependent on click through rate and watch time and while some viewers are fans who are willing to give anything a chance, many other people are just casual viewers who need to be interested in the topic to click a video or watch past the first few minutes. This video also has a bit of a problem with its hook being unclear/weak. There is good payoff for those who watch all the way through but there isn't a strong incentive to do that.

[@eudaemonical]

@@KnowsBestNever Clear as ever. Keep it up.

[@moolalas130]

@@KnowsBestNever it's a very good video so far, I'm about 10 minutes in. I love games, play them everyday probably to my detriment but I'm also interested in beauty standard too. I watched streamers and it actually came up among them at one point, when advertising Maverick - the new Tom cruise movie. They mentioned how he looked great in comparison to this other guy. It was interesting to me that they might not have thought he had work done when I feel he probably has. People don't always think men would do work to their bodies to look good. Basically what I'm trying to say, is that everyone would find this interesting to some degree and I'm pretty sure it might shock you to see it do well on your main channel. However I understand your concern, I've seen many great channels falter because of adding new topics to the mix so it's a very real fear. Either way, I'm enjoying it and thank you for making the video.

[@lankeydragon6035]

@@KnowsBestNever I guess that's fair. Your audience does largely consist of gamers, but I like to learn for its own sake, and not being very tech savy myself, I didn't know how easy it was to manipulate images. I learned a lot.

[@jorloru]

Same here. I don't even watch 5 minutes from a KZbinr I don't like, if I can watch Never for hours is not only because I like the topics but because he is an excellent narrator and has really valuable and critical opinions. Also, I might be more disconnected with a video of a game I haven't played than with a critic about society, that's something I'll always be interested in hearing from a good and analytical narrator. Keep on Never

[@PaisleySundance]

As a young singer-songwriter, I was obsessed with Brandon Flowers, singer of the Killers, and capturing the vocal sound on that band’s first record, and I would always come up just short enough to discourage myself. Years later, I found an article about how the album was only intended as a demo and the vocals had been pitch corrected. That idea of idolizing false “perfection” is very true.

[@tvsonicserbia5140]

I think an often overlooked part of people's self image today is JUST HOW BAD HUMAN FACES LOOK using phone lenses, doubly so for front camera and triple for portrait orientation. We are so used to film and television. Some people even joke how much better they look in a mirror, but its a real observable phenomenon. Phones have extremely short focal distances in order to allo you to take a photo of your face from 20cm. At this distance, perspective distortion is INSANE. We have been conditioned to looking at profesional shoots which shoot from at least one to multiple meters of distances like 50+mm lenses which gives a much more natural look, similar to how we percieve other people irl or looking into the mirror. So yeah if you've felt you look like a monster from a selfie, it's not you it's the camera.

[@Henry-wt9kn]

Speaking as someone who plays too many video games, I enjoyed this as much as your gaming stuff.

[@ivebeenthinking9173]

This was one of the best videos you've ever produced. I don't think you realize how good of a writer, narrator and editor you are. I seriously think you could make anything interesting.

[@AluinKali]

Honestly I wouldn’t mind having videos like this on the main channel. I loved when Jacob Geller started to do non video game essays and I can totally see that working for you as well. It’s a shame that I almost missed this video if I hadn’t watched your Dark Souls video to the very end

[@Some_Guy_87]

KZbin punishes outlier videos heavily, so it's reasonable to put them to another channel unfortunately.

[@ezdayz9871]

I know you have said you wont be doing more of these and concentrating on the game content but this is a damn good and well produced video.

[@qwerasdliop2810]

this was...incredible. I think you substantially shifted my view of the world, with a single video, for the better. Thank you. thank you so so much.

[@edwardliu111]

Lemme pile on and say that I was gonna write something similar, I'm going to share this video and its clips with as many of my friends as I can :)

[@nickperri6571]

I’ve never seen KnowsBestNever and NeverKnowsBest in the same room together. Suspicious...

[@VedantFalcon]

".. filters become previews for not just how the person wants to look, but also for how they could look with *just the right surgery*". Bravo! What an insight.

[@letefte]

1. The Dark Souls video brought me here. 2. Truly, a fascinating subject. It’s good to see creators branching off into other topics.

[@apsttesc]

Hey. You do sound crestfallen in your posts sometimes, so I just wanted to say that you’re my favourite youtuber and I’m really looking forward to your new videos regardless of topic. You are also one of the two people I supported on Patreon (can’t do this any longer, unfortunately, because politics and stuff). I’m pretty sure there are lots of us who would gladly listen to you ramble about anything, so please make videos on any topic you feel passionate about

[@omalone1169]

20:09 distorted perceptions

[@MegaJRod99]

This was incredible. As a man who was incredibly overweight for most of my childhood (I lost 100lbs before high school) I have always suffered from dysmorphic tendencies. It's crazy how even after loosing the weight, you are never truly free of that insecurity. And still, the little parts of my body that remind me of those times being fat and (ostensibly) unwanted trigger such a deep sense of frustration and angst. It can be impossible to feel even "normal" when you are in a constant competition with other people. But as you said in the last few minutes, no one looks at "you" the way you look at yourself. Ultimately it is up to us to change our frame of reference to one of fairness--and only comparing our actions to others, rather than our attractiveness (which has a margin of subjectiveness). Anyway I am a constant fan of yours. Thank you for your hard work.

[@polasamierwahsh421]

Very very true

[@corpsefoot758]

Hear, hear I’ve been fat my entire life before losing a lot of weight through fasting & low-carb/high-fat nutrition recently, and I’m only just starting to realize how confusing it’s going to be to stare into a mirror and not really know what the hell I’m “supposed” to look like for the rest of my life Not to mention a whole bunch of unresolvable anger toward the way I was raised, because I will never know how life might had been if I was able to grow up athletic, save my internal organs & skin from a lot of avoidable damage and so on

[@JohnDoe-yl9mc]

As someone who has never heard of you before today (got here through your dark souls video), I hope you're proud of this video despite how many views it gets because it highlights how exceptional you are as a content creator. Even if it doesn't join KZbin's 1 billion club, this is the kind of video that will have an impact on those who DO watch it. I really hope to see more from this channel in the future.

[@yellowbelliedslider6719]

Almost halfway through, I really like hearing you talk about other topics. I've recently started exploring the world of plastic surgery and image manipulation due to feeling not pretty or feeling like I'm not "taking care" of myself even though I eat mostly healthy, drink a lot of water, put on sunscreen and lotions and am physically active. As a girl, I can't tell you enough how much my confidence increased after coming across Lorry Hill's channel. Education about this is really, really important, especially for young people.

[@ShandorDavies]

Great video! I've heard this topic covered by other female KZbinrs and it was interesting to hear a male perspective on this issue. There's definitely not the same amount of attention being drawn to steroid use as tweaking so kudos to you for discussing it!

[@cyberninjazero5659]

Macabre Storytelling also did a video on it if you're interested in another male perspective on the subject. Though that one was more focused on celebrity "superhero"/action movie transformations

[@justinjustin7224]

I'm here from the dark souls video, and I've got to say that this video is great. I went through my own body dysmorphia back when I was going through puberty, but my conclusion to that ordeal was not wanting alteration, but instead I adopted a perception of radical acceptance. I love how my body is, and I will love how my body will become. The judgement of my looks which is most valuable, is my own judgement. Any external benefits I may gain from altering my appearance is secondary to the loss of the value I place in how I look naturally... Though, I admittedly may be considered by others to take it too far, as even before everybody was sent home to work 2 years ago, I had already went years without shaving or getting my hair cut. The purely unaltered is my gold standard for beauty, and I live it to the extreme. I don't expect this standard from anybody else, and it would be wrong to say that I don't understand not liking one's own appearance and wishing to look different. And anyways, I tend to respond to these kinds of internal struggles with a questioning and reframing of my perspective and values instead of trying to conform to the preset values, of which I can not be sure are purely originating from within (looking at you, every person in movies and shows with basically no body hair who fueled the start of my body dysmorphia as a young pubescent child). With all that said, I appreciate your acknowledgement of both the validity of people's personal choices/preferences and the bad of those trying to manipulate those things for their own benefit. Keep up the great work.

[@NervXT]

I love your game reviews but I also really enjoyed this. I know it's not your main type of content, but I'd be excited to see more deep dives into whatever topic catches your interest.

[@Dext3rM0rg4n]

I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel after the Q&A, honestly this is just as good as your gaming content. You articulate you thoughts very well, make good points, do your research, make it entertaining and have top notch editing. You could put this on your main channel but I understand not wanting to go in too many directions, but at least advertise your secondary channel on your next review so it can grow faster. Hope this won't be a one time thing, if you draw a blank and find it hard to talk about video game for a while then you shouldn't force yourself and talk about what interest you at the moment instead.

[@zuckarr]

I enjoy your content so much. You make exactly the type of analysis that I love, with visuals and music and voice. I found your main channel thanks to your Genshin video (which is so fantastic I sometimes rewatch bits of it after having watched the full thing twice and having shared it with friends), but I'm not that interested in video games, so finding this second channel was a pleasant surprise. The way you tell and explain stuff is magnetic because it feels so natural. You've never given me a sense of arrogance or said anything matter-of-factly, which is what tends to drive me away. You're like a friend sharing thoughts with others.

[@misterkefir]

If you want to do more of this kind of videos, please do so. I will always watch. You're just a great storyteller, man. Keep it up. Thanks for reading my comment.

[@ScarletEdge]

I rarely praise a video. This is fucking eye opening. Your narration is just top notch.

[@thejagermeizter]

I will show this video to my children when they are growing up and suffer from severe body dismorphia like I did. I'm glad i barely missed the social media era by just a few years or I'd have been even more self-conscious during puberty. Thank you for speaking so frankly and truthfully. Great video!

[@superblindman]

I have to say, as a totally blind person, I too am affected by these things. I am absolutely insecure about my appearance, though I really wish I wasn't. That said, I think I am less affected when it comes to the appearances of others, though I do feel for my sighted friends and family who endure the pummelling of societal standards every single day. It is absolutely an interesting thing to discuss and think about. I really wish the world wasn't this way. I wish this video was wrong. It's not. There's so much more I could say, but I'll leave it there.

[@Violaphobia]

That is utterly fascinating, but I'm also sorry. Can I ask what that experience is like without vision? My own body issues are usually focused around pictures or mirrors.

[@francegamer]

At least they're at no risk of their appearance being judged around you.

[@TheOrian34]

I guess that shows how deeply in our brain that insecurity about how others perceive us is buried.

[@tiredkiris]

Bruh I watched this video and then looked myself in the mirror. I simply felt... better. Thanks!

[@wraith8323]

Holy heck, found this by accident as I was clicking away from Neverknows to avoid a game spoiler. This was/is epic and extremely well done, I can't be alone in thinking more of this would be a good thing 👏👏👏

[@BradleyGalbraith]

Damn NeverKnowsBest you absolutely crushed this topic. Been feeling awful about my body as a 32 year old dad since COVID and well... as messed up as the reality of everything you presented here is about male body standards... I am weirdly feeling a bit more positive about myself after watching this. Not sure if that's intentional, but thank you!

[@LiliKatAus]

Whenever I have a bad body day, I tell my husband... who has the oddest habit: he will kiss the bit I hate. It makes me laugh, making me feel better. We spend so much time inside our own heads, thinking everyone thinks/knows what we know.... but they don't. Everyone else is too wrapped up in their own heads to care about you, how you look... I personally find this freeing and care very little what people say about me. Because if they have something to say, that just means I disrupted the inner monologue of self-whatever and brought them out of their heads and into the world. That's a win.

[@cavedon.felipe]

Dude.... what a fantastic video. I feel bad for checking your second channel just after KZbin messed you up.

[@acattygamer3065]

As a guy who struggles with body image, this hit close to home. I rarely see men talking about body image issues, but this video made me remember that I'm not alone. It's funny how, at this point, we are so habituated to the photoshopped images and quite literally unachievable standards of beauty bestowed upon us regardless of gender that we need to have these things pointed out to us. Looking forward to any other content you end up uploading on this channel- and definitely link it in the gaming one like one of the comments on the community post suggested!

[@zygmuntlllwaza5773]

This is still one of your best videos. I watched it first time 2 years ago when your second channel kicked off, surprised that it only has 40k views.

[@frittatas8551]

Great documentary vid, really glad I found this 2nd channel! I definitely relate to insecurity regarding acne when I was a teenager. That was by far my biggest insecurity during those years, and I went through a fuck ton of acne medicines before my parents and dermatologist let me take accutane, which got rid of my severe acne permanently. This resulted in less bullying, and gave me more self confidence. What absolutely just annoyed the shit out of me was how some people would say "oh look, you just had to was your face more and do hot compresses and there you go, your acne is gone" when that wasn't even close to true. The severe acne I had was genetically related, and to hear myself get scorned for something I couldn't control in the first place without medical intervention made me feel helpless. I feel you do a really good job in this video showing how things that arn't in peoples control, or arn't normally naturally acheivable are the expectation from people, and how profit driven motives just really exploit people's insecurities and ignorances. Good video.

[@JuliusCaesar103]

[@TonyPajama]

I really liked this video, I don’t see why you were worried about putting this on your main channel. one small thing I wanted to mention was during your point about how the problems with beauty standards are not just due to patriarchy because men experience them too. I think this is a little bit of a common misunderstanding of feminist critiques on the subject because modern feminist theory plainly states that man can and do suffer under patriarchy as well, only in different ways than women do. Everything you said about male expectations can still be analyzed through a feminist lens. Thank you for bringing light to this kind of stuff

[@jackzhang2011]

[@Superschokokeks]

that feel that you get when you need to comment something and cant wait until the video is over: 7:57 The issue I have with procedures like that vs self-acceptance is danger of addiction. You can easily start spending massive amount of many to fix every (new) spot that you perceive as ugly and if our view of beauty standard changes so your view changes and you want to change more. Just to feel and be perceived beautiful. It's same addiction mechanic of Paytowin games. One can do whatever one wants with its money, but if starts to affect you in a negative way that were the line has to be drawn.

[@Kulei666]

Thank you for that video. World needs this right now. It's the best video on beauty standards I've ever seen.

[@Chupchahao]

Wow, I stumbled upon this video by accident and have been pretty blown away by it … and by that I don't especially talk about the topic that kept me engaged but me realising that I have no criticism in terms of production value, research, script, editing, pacing, audio, political & sociological mindset and overall worldview. Pretty damn good video essay!

[@Spomf]

You probably won't read this, but this is probably one of my favourite videos of this platform; you perfectly encapsulated your thoughts about this, and I considered it one of your best eassys (which, never forget, that's a really high bar, you're really goor at this), and I don't regret at all watching it till the end. Thank you for making this, and thank you for the joke at the end of the video, that compilation of fake images would have been neat though.

[@MAJ0R_TOM]

Content like this should be required viewing in schools.

[@NoAgendaStudios]

Never would have thought that by staring at myself in the mirror instead of compulsively taking pictures of myself I was engaging in the healthier form of narcissism.

[@jorbdan6305]

I was pretty skeptical going into this. I’ve viewed plastic surgery and filters as mostly harmless. It doesn’t hurt anyone and people like the way they look afterwards, right? But this vid definitely convinced me otherwise. I never really use social media and I have maybe three pictures of myself from this year so I guess I’m just out of touch with how it is for other people. And as a long time follower I have to say this is my favorite video you’ve made. Truly excellent stuff, I’ll be recommending this as much as possible.

wow I'm so glad you spent time covering men's beauty standards!! I've always been really insecure about my physical appearance, but somehow it never occurred to me that my expectations might be based on inauthentic bodies. like, platitudes about loving yourself seemingly only go so far if the stereotypical masculine physique is unnatural. I also really liked the anecdote about skin looking bad up-close, good advice both figuratively and literally. thanks for the vid! it was thought provoking. hope to see more like this sometime :)

it is a great injustice that a video as good as this only gets this little views. I thank you for your time and effort in creating this.

[@MorningAndEveningStar]

I'd watch more videos like this. This was excellent. Please make more like this. The only criticism I find worth bringing up---I'm not sure if you're aware that (serious) feminist critics of patriarchy do point out how it victimizes men as well, and so wouldn't find male suffering to be an indicator that said suffering isn't caused by patriarchal structures, isn't a manifestation and side-effect of female oppression. The alienation and victimization of men by patriarchy (and more generally the alienation of the oppressor in oppressive systems) is so discussed in social science, to be almost hackneyed. But your video is composed in such a way, that everything you say stands regardless of whether this is so or not, and I appreciate that.

[@thejagermeizter]

P.s. I found your other channel a little while ago by chance, and absolutely loved the stuff. When i saw the video about Gothic (fantastic btw never thought I'd be so interested in a video about a game I'd never heard of or ever even be interested in), and you said you'd be taking a break to post different stuff here on this channel I had to come check it out. Well damn you've got me hooked on both content types and I hope you find the success you diserve. Incredible work. I can tell you put so much time and effort into each one. In a world full of filler and low effort react videos, this right here is true content. :)

[@Mathiasz.]

[@shmackydoo]

Absolutely awesome video. Needs to be said and your delivery and structure is so excellent for this subject matter. Well done

[@tecnicofwars]

It is an incredible video. A problem I have never actually thought about, with a detailed explanation. I also like how you also showed the problems for men. Most of the time, men's problems are ignored, even when they are for both genders, or even belittled. The best part of the video is the Tyson Fury part. The unrealistic standards are clearly shown there, with just a mere look. This is how the elite of the elite of strong athletes look, and this how celebrities look. Though this video had an unintended effect: now my resolve for cosmetic surgery and steroids is higher. It looks good, and its safer and cheaper than before. It is unhealthy for society, but it is in my best self-interest.

[@corykershaw5843]

Just wanted to stop in and say your previous channel was one of the few that I would make sure to watch. I plan on doing the same with this one. I can see a lot of potential videos following this same kind of trend. Looking forward to it.

[@lexplorateurdelespacecomme3883]

Don't say that nobody was gonna watch it i loved every minute

[@KnightLincoln]

I missed the community post and found second channel while incidentally looking for something else on main one by sheer chance. And I've got to say, this vid goes hard. I can understand not wanting to put it on main channel for youtube reasons, but if you see this comment, come on man, mention the second channel like on the very end of next video in case some people would never notice. Sincerely.

[@rafaela00002]

I mean, patriarchy isn't something that affects only women and it's important to talk about how it affects men too. And one big problem with beauty standards imo is that they change over time, so people will do these expensive and dangerous surgeries that later won't make any difference, because what is considered pretty changed. Anyway, great video! Edit: fixed a typo

[@EJDubbz]

Yeah 21:00 is a straw man argument. Boys/men are very much affected by patriarchal ideas, especially in evaluating self worth, so your argument didn't really refute that point. Still very enjoyable video. Love your content.

This video is awesome! As someone who genuinely loves to work out one of the challenges I face personally is that parts of my body are flabby from past weight loss.
