I feel like people don’t want to call pretty privilege for what it is like colorism, fat phobia, desirability, etc because they don’t want to have a conversation about how those three factors right there determine someone’s status in society. Those are my thoughts though.
Yes same here too like featurism like I noticed people call JT ugly but Asian doll pretty both dark skin both black women but they have different facial features same for texturism I noticed I get a lot of compliments on my hair at work but the ones I typically get from black people usually they say something like oh your hair is really pretty then say you have that good grade of hair it makes me feel extremely weird also I feel like any hair texture is pretty when you treat it right I'm not even type 3 my hair is 4a4b at most even my skin gets complimented a lot but usually only because of the complexion and that's it because its like damn so you saying if I looked one way or the other I wouldn't be cute.?
One of my good friends falls on this good looking zone. And she has definitely gotten opportunities from her looks. But so many times I've seen her become friends with a new person and then they ask her out after like a month. And then she would turn them down and they would cut her off entirely. So I could see it messing with your ability to know why people are befriending you.
@RussellGreerOfficial I've noticed some of the nicest women I've met have been other pretty women Obviously models will want to hangout with people who share their same line of work/ expierences so they have more things in common
Girl I love that you confident and don’t put yourself down for the sake of peoples insecurities . I’ve just learned this past year that it’s important to not self deprecate yourself. I own it now cause if you take care of yourself you should feel pride
Reminds me of Hyunjin from Stray Kids . Hyunjin is ridiculously beautiful and in his trainee days he worked so hard on his dancing skills and when he struggled someone told him " don't worry , you are pretty so don't work so hard " or something like that and it really hurt him . He was working hard on his talents and people subject him to just his appearance , people stated that he could make it without effort and people questioned why he would work so hard when his good looks could easily get him far . I feel like this is the downside of being beautiful , no one takes you or your work seriously.
With zendaya she does have pretty privilege but that didn’t make her famous. Disney helped her get in the door but it was her talent and fashion style that got her to breakthrough. When you think of zendaya you think of her fashion style and acting. Also she doesn’t have the curvy body that equates to the privilege, and is often called out for her looks without makeup. I’ve heard people say she’s ugly and looks like a skeleton, when she is naturally beautiful with her face and body. With zendaya it’s more of colorism than pretty privilege even though she is beautiful.
wait....i have to disagree with u on the zendaya part(when u said Zendaya has not prospered as much as she should have). Zendaya is like SUPER famous! I think she came a LONG WAY from disney channel. like come on EVERYONE knows Zendaya.
I'm 100% agreed with you about pretty privilege because it's does exist cause they want a ideal of a beautiful woman (who is wh!T€ or non black woman) the same body type like us black woman but don't care for us being talented singers or actresses and another example like: Cassie who was a singer at that time but the only reason she got some opportunities from people especially Sean Combs because of her rascally ambitious and it's no shade towards her it is what it is same thing to my girl Saweetie, even though she not the best lyrical but she can model tho .
Because of Adele’s previous weight she wasn’t considered conventionally attractive completely, but Adele also has a doll matinee idol face. If she was an ethnic-looking Black girl with the same voice or better, she wouldn’t be famous. Point blank.
I don’t think Zendaya has pretty privilege I think she just benefited from colorism. & Coco Jones is blowing up! The whole let it shine cast is thriving!
I’m from the same country as Rita Ora. The thing is, in my part of Europe (especially Albania) she’s not really thought to be as pretty as she is in America with both white and black people. So I think that has also helped her due to americas beauty standards being different to Europe’s. ( I hope this this makes sense sorry 💀💀)
Such a good point that people who don't consider themselves conventionally attractive find roles where they are hidden. It starts at a young age - in school, pretty privilege creates a positive environment that can foster confidence and opportunity. For people who aren't conventionally attractive, the opposite can happen. It can shatter a young person's self-esteem and cause them to withdraw, not seek opportunities, not socialize, etc. I am blonde, blue-eyed, and relatively thin, and can definitively say that those factors have contributed in a major way to my social, romantic, and professional successes. Most of the time, people attribute positive qualities to you that you haven't really demonstrated (halo effect). On the flip side, people have underestimated me. I had a male-dominated major in college and even had one guy tell me that I only got good grades by flirting with professors (I did not). I've questioned whether I was hired for my first job out of college because my boss liked the way I looked. Although that can feel shitty, at the end of the day, my looks have opened many doors and closed none. I definitely agree that pretty privilege is real and can relate to a lot of the experiences you shared.
Being a fat person is not pretty in Jamaica! They use the term to describe very thick voluptuous women that they like NOT actually fat outta shape women. Smh
I so wish you would also give credit to or shout out OhStephco.... The content creator who put pretty priveledge to the fore for everyone to debate and dissect .. she deserves to be mentioned considering the horrible reactions she got to the video and how everyone is profitting over something she brought to people's attention...
Cheating is disrespectful unless both people decide they have an open relationship. I know people in open relationships and it's not a picnic nor recommended.
me personally I feel like I’m attractive buttt only in like a “lesbian” way if that makes sense. I am a lesbian, and I feel like only other wlw girls have ever found me pretty. Someone outside of that group would be very unlikely to think i am attractive even in a non romantic way. And I’ve definitely not always been this way. Growing up I was always the ugly one in the group and I’ve changed extremely and have only ever been considered pretty by anyone this year
@@ToniBryanneTV no she suffers from not getting the spotlight that Zendaya did. Zendaya took off even though keke started on Disney as a child star just like Zendaya. You don’t really hear much about keke anymore but Zendaya appears everywhere
I don’t think anyone would consider her dark skinned maybe tan unless you’re comparing her to European skin. My skin tone and darker is dark skinned to most people in the black community at least
@@2KellyJoy actually she is considered dark skin in most ethnic groups I’ve come across. I’m her exact skin tone and mixed race so in the black community ppl call me light skin but in the Mexican community I’m considered dark skin. Asian community too.
@@2KellyJoy just because the black community doesn’t, doesn’t mean every other community considers me light skin. Other cultures have different views and as a multi racial person living in a very diverse city and speaking on my own skin tone and experience, people consider me dark skin or light skin depending on the community.
@@jazzygryphon you prefer yellow over black or blue over yellow that is your preference colorisim all the same .Beautiful girls make beautiful babies their beauty stops 9 year old crying and gets on magazine cover rightfully so. Fat people are loved by Corona and a lot of diseases so yes they ought to be ashamed
@@rethinks5054 By the looks of it, you seem to be a very young and ignorant person. Things like pretty privilege, fatphobia, and colorism (especially) are very problematic issues within societies across the globe. But I'm not here to lecture you on that. There has been plenty of research, articles, and videos that already do. I recommend you check some out...or not. Whatever is your prerogative. Have a good day. ✌🏾

No fatphobia especially is just a buzzword people like to throw out because they cant handle the reality of being told they are unhealthy.

This is a perfect example on how it is being considered conventionally attractive!! Great example!
Flip that around and a lot of these pretty girls will not want to be associated with somebody because they aren’t a certain standard of looks

She was talking about coco jones who also came from disney

Love them both, but everything you said is absolutely factual! Their looks definitely helped both their careers and popularity

Nah bc even tho it’s harder it doesn’t necessarily taking away talent
Nice subject choice. I agree with you 100%.
Thank you so much!!

I'm proud of you for showing some of your natural beauty
and this is why I still prefer classical music, skill is no 1, followed by personality, and looks/visual is a just a bonus

You look gorgeous in this video 😍😍😍❤️❤️
Thank you my love ❤️

Weird in my country, there is Halo Effect that pretty people are also smart. And ugliness imply stupidity too.
Facts 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Is Zendaya light skinned or dark skinned? I’m confused! I am her color and people call me dark skinned!
If you are that color and not black then you are dark skin

With the exception of zendaya I see no real beauty in the thumbnail. False beauty is not sustainable. Just my 2centz

I have to disagree on the Kardashians. Maybe they started out pretty but sone of them have so much work done they look like human caricatures.
Kendal's prettier than her sisters. I don't know what you talkin bout
Fat phobia is real 😅i get fat shamed by my mil every time i see her 😅
Being educated doesn't make you pretty (for a woman)
Nothing wrong with pretty privilege
Nothing wrong with colorisim
Nothing wrong with fat shaming
