MY BOUNDARIES (IMPORTANT)
stop asking me to make videos about ever after high. same with the winx club. no ifs, ands, or buts about it. i have said numerous times i dont care to watch, so quit trying to change my mind.
i make it clear what my niche is. literally say what it is in the beginning of my videos: nostalgia, family, and children’s entertainment. When i say nostalgia, that means nothing in the older demographic past the year of 2015 (because that is nostalgic for me)
so stop asking me to review these live action teen series on netflix like ginny and georgia, outer banks, and never have a ever.
yes, every once and a while i talk about something outside of my niche if i really want to, but i mainly put that content on my patreon.
i don’t do this all the time because i don't want to take away from the focus on my channel. like i did when i talked about don't toy with me miss nagatoro, and when cassie howard pissed me off and i included her in that white women tears videos. when i make these videos you guys keep getting on me to talk about things outside my niche.
and no, i will not make a second channel to talk about these things.
im going to stop putting these videos out publicly all together and just put them on patreon if you guys wont understand that.
if i have a video that is patreon only and you tell me to post it publicity on youtube, you’re blocked.
say something mean about my teeth or just my appearance in general, your blocked.

Nonblack POC/white people telling black people how to feel about issues that affect us directly is a thing that continuously bothers me. It’s never in good faith and just feels more like attempts to make us keep quiet and complacent. When we’re literally opening up about our experiences, we’re just invalidated or treated as if what were talking about isn’t a big deal or we’re straight up lying. It’s exhausting.

Is it a fucked up way of handling it? Hell yes. Am I aware that that those bad seeds don't represent the whole race?Absolutely.

Im done trying to have conversations about my hair with non Black people. When i went natural, I was met with so much anti blackness. Even from people who were trying to compliment me. It would always be come back handed shit or they would try to relate to me with stories about how their wavy hair was "SOOO NAPPY!" i used to rotisserie my hair all throughout high school to the point where my curls were gone. Had severe breakage but I just told people i liked having short bobs💀. I had really bad anxiety over my natural hair because white classmates would go out of their way to tell me how odd my hair was to them. I got myself out of P.E, stayed indoors so i wouldn't sweat, never went swimming with friends, and I NEVER went outside without my hair pressed. This limited me in so many ways and it took a lot of effort for me to unpack internalized anti-blackness from inside and outside the Black community. Folks who don't have type 4 hair WILL NEVER understand what it's like to under such ridicule for existing the way you are.

[@sorayatorchic]

Hair used to be a huge bonding experience for white people. They used to sit around and brush, style and braid each other’s hair. If there was a wish that I had for childhood, I wish we could have just had a day where we could sit around, learn about each other’s hair, the different kinds, how to take care of it, and just do each other’s hair on a regular basis.

I'm Latine and my older sister would straighten out her curls because she wanted things to be more manageable and to get less rude comments over it, especially during highschool. It's only recently that she started to wear her hair naturally and feel proud of it. POC should be able to wear their hair however the hell they feel like without pressure from white people and white society to do this or that, but especially black women who keep being told their hair is 'unprofessional' unless straightened. ALSO other ethnicities don't have the hair texture for black hair styles anyways. That's why black people have black hairstyles, because it fits their hair texture and is made for them. It's not that hard of a concept but some non-black people are such clowns about it.

Now I go to the salon because it’s faster and luckily my stylist knows how to style my hair type but I remember when I would get my hair straightened and in elementary people would touch my hair I would tell them to stop but eventually I would let them touch it because I was tired of repeating myself. I remember one time I used scented shampoo and a girl in my class sniffed my hair another time when I was in middle school I wore my hair in it’s natural state I had puffs and the teacher touched my hair. In the same middle school I wore my natural hair again and I went to the bathroom and was drying my hands and a girl touched my hair and I told her not to touch it and she got mad 💀

As a white person, sadly I can tell you that this is often due to the entitlement of ignorance. As a sort of "insider" of sorts, I've noticed that white people are often so entitled to themselves that many times they take their ignorance about a certain topic, specifically race, as fact. It's saddening, honestly, to see that white people would rather cover their ears as opposed to learn what Black people face and go through and how damaging the words of ignorance and hate truly are. All of this to say, when a Black person talks about racism, believe every word they say.

Then we'll get mocked for straightening our hair just trying to survive. And then to see people wear our hairstyles (and in some cases literally doing techniques to create hair that looks like 4c hair), while ignoring the fact that we can't wear our own - and claiming we're being unreasonable! The ish is bonkers and it's gaslighting at it's finest. And you're right - most times it doesn't even look good. Either it's not done well, or the hairstyle is extremely afro-centric and just doesn't look right on someone who's not Black.

[@nerdwriterfighter212]

Animating women is difficult because of hair. That is why so many cartoons lacked women back in the day. It is worse for women of color as they have even less representation. I believe part of the reason why they only have one hair style is because it is difficult to animate. But that is no excuse at all. There are things they can do to make animation easier. They could get workshops on animating hair, black hair especially and better making diverse characters.

[@jinx526]

I don't believe that. There's plenty of male characters with long hair. Especially in anime. And women/girls characters don't necessarily have to have long hair either. It's just misogyny tbh

[@nerdwriterfighter212]

@@jinx526 I agree. I mean I think there is truth to long hair being more difficult. But I believe that it's just animators wanting to be lazy and not wanting to get out of their own comfort zone. Like I said, there are things they could do to make animating different hair styles easier. Animating long hair is not impossible.

No disrespect or anything, just a polite correction. Back on-topic, I agree with you 100%. Hearing a non-black person saying, "It's just hair" is equivalent to a racist making a racist comment then get defensive when you call them out for being racist and resort to those same old excuses, "I'm not racist, it's just my opinion" or "My friend is a POC (person of color), so I can't be racist". It's very frustrating, but I digressed. Anyways, once again great video, Harri. Peace. ✌

This video was recommended at the perfect time. I've literally been going back and forth with Winx Club fans about whether the afro crying scene is racist. The original and even the jelly edit still implies there is something wrong with her hair (as the jelly still mimics an afro, her character is always shown with straight hair). Like you can't even say "hey, in a *children's* show we shouldn't be mocking a hair type, especially one that's been historically demonised" and have people just go meh, yeah. Like fighting.

on the point of rainbow high barely using their only black characters with non-straight hair , i really wish they would make more characters with hairstyles like that . i have both vanessa and carmen and they're gorgeous dolls , and i think they're definitely important for any young black kids who might watch the show . they added delilah who has curly hair , but with her albinism , a lot of people just see her as white , so her having curls might not feel as special to those young kids because she doesn't look like them . i really hope they introduce more characters with those hairstyles because all kids should be able to see someone who is like them be treated as someone who is just as beautiful as someone who isn't like them .

What types of questions do you have?

[@Scarab3271]

@@Luvelyte I am also a writer. I think I have some questions. What is the process when it comes to extensions? I have seen advertisements and the like for them. (When I tried to research another thing). What is the advantage and disadvantage of having them interwoven with natural hair? What is the hair’s general growth rate? So the difference between one year, for instance. For me, I notice about three or four inches a year. (Because I also draw and want to do time skip type things). I may have other questions, but I generally got information from friends and the internet when I got an interest in drawing natural hair. Such as the fact that sleeping with silk is necessary (because of breakage issues) Or how water reacts Or even how to draw them in a way that is my style and also not too time consuming (because I can draw flowing straight hair and kinky coily hair but have trouble with in-between wavy and curly types).

@@Scarab3271 i haven't worn extensions in a long time but I believe they are simply braided with the natural hair. Also some day hair grows 6 inches a year.

I remember a John Oliver segment on black hair and it ended with black guests just telling us whites to just Google about it. I did not, because it felt like none of my business. By the way, have you ever heard of Producing Parker. It is a show that is an edgy satire of the daytime talk show part of the entertainment industry. I also think you would have some thoughts on the characters Dee and her nemesis Victoria Lafayette. Edit: I hust remembered that episode from Jimmy Neutron where they go to Egypt, run from mummies and Libby got a new hairdo. A style I think was distinctly black. Do you think you should do a video on Libby, Harri?

Ever seen the John Oliver video on Hair?

I strongly disagree about straight hair being easier to take care of. It is just not...having natural hair requires a routine and finding what works for you. Straight hair always has the risk of giving you cancer, unstraightening itself because of water and humidity, and most relaxed hair that I've seen looks thin and stiff. With the straight hair you have to do so much to keep it that way-hair is just not simple to take care of in general. Me personally, having natural hair is way easier than when I had straight hair. It also just made me happier because I was being myself for once. I just feel like it's an excuse to say this stuff. Just say you like straight hair more and go. A lot of black people prefer straight and looser textures compared to kinky and tight textures so... it is what it is. They may not wanna be "white" but they damn sure don't wanna be themselves.

i do not like straight hair more lmaooooo i barely wear my hair straight.

[@attomcooler7814]

It’s easier to comb some would say. even as someone who wears their natural 4c hair it is definitely more easy to comb and style when straightened/blowdryed than when it’s coily. Not to mention that finding the perfect products for your hair is time consuming and expensive. Although there are definitely problems i have personally with relaxing and straightening hair, that’s not the majority and they can do what they want.

@@harriyanna i'm not calling you out i just feel like people will do what they feel is important to them. things are only hard when you don't like doing them, that's just my opinion. also...ik because i watch you a lot so, i wasn't talking about you.
