I’m not sure why people act so scandalized by the drawn on eyebrows when she’s clearly very inspired by 1920s fashion
you meant she is just jealous of white people's culture
it just looks bad for her face.
@@mrtheluckybucketbut it's just ur opinion, for me nothing wrong with that
@mrtheluckybucket It's really not that bad once you get used she actually looks really pretty
@@oreochocolate_lavacake9960 She would look prettier if she had eyebrows.
mina just did video essays that are interesting and documented but girlie still found a way to make that problematic. also it’s ok if you don’t like her eyebrows, but please don’t use that as an argument against her, it’s immature
was thinking the exact same thing! Like what the hell
lol saying that ballet is racist just shows that she is jealous of white people's culture. Vulgarity is a must for leftists so it only makes sense to use the same against them. It is not immature it's justice and payback. Just using leftists' logic.
it is compassionate to give a fellow girl fashion tips. even if they get offended. its well intentioned. and yes you can argue objectively about style, as she did quite well
Yeah totally agree. I dislike Mina but the sharpie eyebrow comment threw me off so much
@@ty-zz9ic why? It objectively looks ridiculous lol. What is it with this modern phenomenon of being nice to everyone 100% of the time, even at everyone's own expense? PLayful mockery and insults are good, actually.
This video is embarrassing and hateful. I watched this the whole way through, there was very little to no genuinely founded critique critique. We get it, you don’t like her.
Hateful? leftist not like a taste of their own medicine?
@@Jake-oq2bqexactly, and the points about the “woke washing” she speaks out against then participates in.
She’s quick to just to conclusions and call things racist in situations that I would say are unfounded. There’s a lot of very good critiques in this video. I think these people are just mad fans stuck on the eyebrow comment. The comment on her eyebrows wasn’t even the point of anything in this video although it was true lmao. It’s a very bad look.
And I’ve got to add that the critique on how her being obsessed with hating on girls who work out and drink matcha lattes is a personal problem is very valid too. It’s not unobtainable to be healthy and work out. If you feel like it is it’s because you are limiting yourself and should probably get some therapy. I personally think that hating people for being healthy is far more harmful than making a joke about horribly done eyebrows
And that she’s mad at white people for liking and doing ballet. She’s accusing them of racism as a clear form of projection considering she’s the one being racist. She’s negative and looks at people first for their race.
Even children know that two things can be true at once. Body size can be genetic, AND calorie deficits can help someone lose weight.@@Jake-oq2bq
Just a quick note: you can point out other people's mistakes without shaming their appearance and style choices. The fact that you constantly shame her eyebrows in an unnecessary amount of times is just shady and uncalled for.
Her eyebrows are a choice. It would be messed up if it was something the person couldn’t help like missing a limb or a skin condition.
@@svetlanaromanov941in that logic, you're like saying that we can shame girls who CHOOSE to wear makeup/had surgery, people who CHOOSE to have tattoos and men who CHOOSE to not shave their beards.
@@chemtrails1989 There’s a difference between shaming and criticizing. Did Brit make some jokes? Sure, but she also offered criticism in pointing out that her face shape doesn’t fit with her eyebrow style.
And everything you listed is completely subjective, I’m sure if someone was walking around with foundation that was 3 times darker than their skin tone, you would probably criticize that in some way.
And I find it ironic that you’re defending someone that criticizes people over things that they actually don’t have control over, you know, like being white.
@@svetlanaromanov941that’s pretty hypocrite considering in another video she mocks a french woman for having an accent in English. She just like to put down women in general that’s all.
Although I personally think that section was optional to add, technically, Mina's job is related to fashion. She gets brand deals because her product is her image, and as a product, it can be judged. (Obviously not implying she's an object).
So again, not super fan of it, but I understand the intention behind, I believe.
I was expecting more intellectual engagement with her ideas, but this video seems like mostly mean girl antics and character assassination.
Literally
Then you're new here it's Brittany's schtick. It is still high IQ if you really break it down, but it's purposefully imbued with malice because it's entertaining.
@@off6848 so it is just plain lying and insulting people because conservatives find that funny.
@@polin1710 I wouldn't say its lying.
Yeah this was terrible just seems personal
Not too far into the video, but just wanted to note that simply critiquing capitalism does not make someone a 'commie.'... just like critiquing communism wouldn't make someone a fascist. Not only is there a vast spectrum between those two poles, but that spectrum doesn't even capture the totality of economic & political thought. Framing communism and capitalism as an on/off switch makes you sound pretty uninformed.
Agree but capitalism IS the opposite of communism, not fascism. Fascists ARE socialist. Also, all these so called capitalist businesses structure the workforce in a socialist model nowadays to limit infighting. No more merit raises based on performance and such. Also paid vacation and overtime are socialist principles and I'm not complaining LoL. Yeah it's not black and white, that's why if things worked well, the left and the right are supposed to check each other, not swing back and forth from one extreme to another ✌️
@@jakefromstatefarm5204 Agree with pretty much everything you said, but fascists are not socialist. They tend to nationalize some industries, yes, but they do not redistribute land or try to reorganize class structures in the way that socialists would. Fascists generally pay little mind to class, which is the central theme of Marxism. Mussolini actually wrote an essay distinguishing fascism from socialism, you should give it a read!
@@jakefromstatefarm5204 BTW... if that sounded like an endorsement of fascism, I am not a fascist -- just a history student. :')
@@gailism ahh okay. Personally the only two examples I can give of "documented" fascists ARE Mussolini and Hitler being the most famous of course. It was my understanding the Nazi party were socialist being that it's in their name and of course as far as identity politics go it doesn't get any worse.. interesting. ✌️
@@jakefromstatefarm5204 The socialist part of their name was actually kind of an inside joke among the party. It was helpful for branding earlier in the party's history, when socialism was still popular in Germany. But the Nazis had no reverence for Marxist theory, enacted very few policies that could be considered socialist, and actually considered 'Judeo-Bolshevism' (as they thought of it) to be their ultimate enemy!
Girl what does her 1930’s aesthetic have to do with her rapidly deteriorating and unhinged essay points? Like you came on here wearing a brown shirt and gray skirt and you wanna dedicate an entire section of a video talking about someone’s looks? If you ran out of points you coulda just said that I promise you the views would’ve been the same regardless of the run time
Exactly!
nope with vulgarity we should do the same to leftists.
Thissss. And so many of what Mina is saying is either being taken completely out of context, or just misinterpreted entirely
Are you blind? Her skirt is blue.
brown and blue look good together. But also, brown and grey look good together, too!
@@brightfaith8403 yeah your taste is lacking.
This video feels personal, and a little petty.
Sadly, I thought this would be an actual critique, but I guess people are mad at *looks at notes* social awareness.
SOmethimes people just really want to say their shitty opinions
Yeah a good video essay on Mina could be really entertaining and informative
Telling people that being fat is a condition you can’t work to change is incredibly harmful to society. Absolutely not social awareness. And Brittany is right when she brings up how she’s so quick to call everything racist and participates in the very “communist woke washing” she complains about. She’s incredibly unaware of her own behavior and the effect it has on society.
Did you just attack both of them at the same time?
If so, I love it
She’s a history fashion UA-camr and she’s doing 1920s-1930s makeup looks. Are you okay? Like seriously, are you okay?
She's appropriating white culture.
shes a 2 britt is a 9
@@ride.the.tiger. I don't know how this is related to her being a "2" according to you. She obviously is into an older outdated makeup style, not being a "10/10" to some internet rando
@@ride.the.tiger.it’s still doesn’t change that if you exercise and eat healthy you will lose weight .
i am ten seconds into your video and you already reduced another women's opinion to being not important because she looks ridiculous by your standards... are you sure your second name is not pearl? because that's some pearly shit is going on here
They gotta be long lost sisters😂
You can just tell by her eyes how empty she is so of course she needs to tear down a fulfilled person
I checked out when she said the thumbnails were looking out condescendingly… like girl please don’t project your insecurities on us… we have enough.
@@lana-jg4ho Kinda funny you're doing exactly what the original commenter was calling out.
Bye 💀 Y'all are mad she clocked Mina and those video essay thumbnails badly.
Okay so I love Mina’s videos but I am open to see another perspective why she might have some downside… but this video is not even an essay it’s just a rant , I watched all of it and it just gives mean girl. We get it you don’t like her eyebrows , her style and you think she’s a Comi like that’s fine that’s your opinion but how is that problematic? Mina list her sources and she talks about topics from various angles, of course she has natural bias but that’s everyone and I think she tries to be aware of them.
I like the fact you are offering anymore critical perspective but your judgement has no depth behind it , very surface base at best and mean at worst
ok leftist
@@detective2221 lol
@@detective2221Ok mr “please be respectful in the comments” but then proceeds to insult with the “leftist” comment because you disagree
Like jeez dude whats that all about?
I’m not the biggest Mina Le fan since I often get lost in what she’s explaining, but her cites are always sourced and she always tries to understand multiple sides
No she doesn’t
I don’t think you’re very wise.
she really doesn't though right?
She literally goes like "x=y bc capitalism bad" in every video and does so out of the blue or out of the *bleu* I guess.
Citing sources doesn’t always mean you’re properly utilizing sources
i’m not the biggest fan of mina le, not at all, but everything she says is always cited and backed up by a proper and professional source. this entire video, you’ve constantly been purposefully misconstruing what she’s been saying.. what is your damage?
and her biggest concern is her eyebrow lmao. Like if we are being real then mina looks better than this girlie
@@Meemansha_Singhliterally facts
@@Meemansha_SinghYou’re completely delusional if you think Mina looks better than Brittany.
yeah I won't always agree with what she says but she actually cites reputable sources so I'm not sure why this who video paints mina to be someone that is just pulling info from thin air? Again, you don't have to agree with everything she says but its weird.
Doesn’t really negate that the no eyebrows look is just ugly
at least mina actually cites factual evidence lmao, you seem to have a habit of pulling her videos completely out of context in order to prove your point
She does not cite factual evidence she selectively quotes out of context articles about a study.
Its getting annoying how many of you young girls clearly know absolutely nothing about science. There are thousands of terrible, wrong research papers published every year. I can find “factual evidence” about how women are inferior to men from a scientific journal, does that make it right? Also stop typing without caps and saying lmao you cringe tumblr thot
Oh yeah dude the "factual evidence" made by pseudo-intellectuals lmao
She writes out all her sources that she uses throughout the video for her viewers@@Mytelefe You can check it out by going to the description section of a video. Maybe not completly writes out what section of the article she read the quote, however, It's there.
@@maliv7209 Her sources are only valid if she actually references scientific studies
Mina’s videos are “doom and gloom” and that she doesn’t offer hope or practical advice on how to combat systemic issues- that’s because the aim of her videos are to reflect reality with research-based analyses- not to be a self help channel. And the reality is most of her topics ARE intended to be contentious and a critique on modernity. That is usually expressed in her titles. There is an audience for what she does, and it isn’t fact-defying optimism and self-help. You can’t critique her on a genre she is not doing
Perfectly sums up the problem with this “critique” (read bullying disguised as constructive criticism)
yessssss
Point out hypocrisies, sure, but it's not cool to be shitty about someone's appearance.
Why us she too oppressed as an Asian woman to have eyebrows?
I agree, and she’s so pretty as well
Yeah… i thought her making fun of Mina’s appearance was a bit unnecessary and just rude for no reason. Definitely could’ve kept those opinions to herself as they serve no purpose to the video
@@wtfcomments2585 please make sense 🙏🙏
Agree, probably because I lived a long time in Japan, but I did wonder if Brittany hasn’t look at herself in the mirror, she dresses really vulgar, tasteless and cheap looking, why she decided to trash on the eyebrow girl’s clothes is beyond me.
I find it problematic that this video can only be watched by people with access to the internet. Do better.
Systematic World-Wide-Web Racism, it's a real problem in our society when Verizon throttles it's POC customers
hahahaha!!
I don’t have good internet at all and the video plays just fine, seems like a personal problem 🤡
🤣🤣🤣 y'all
this video can only be watched by people with vision. what about the blind? what about the deaf? OMG do better!!1
I don't mind Mina's eyebrows, given that a lot of her earlier videos were about fashion history they kinda went with her vibe.
If silly women keep using the word vibe, how can anyone take their political lefty hot takes seriously?
@@jamesmandahl444 If silly men keep shouting at the mic, how can anyone take them seriously?
Like bro is that your only defense to dismiss an argument?
Did you even watch the video?
So that’s all you took from the video?? Lol
@coocoo9120 No, I agree with most of the points in this video. I just disagreed with the way her appearance was being talked about so I was pointing out her styling choice. @jamesmandahl444 I think you’ve made a lot of interesting assumptions about my political beliefs based on one word.
So, everything based, facts and objectivity is woke now? 🤯
exactly like she’s not making any sense
The facts in question: misquoted studies, not even the whole thing.
White knight, you are just like her twisting everything.
facts lol... nice joke
apparently...
Okay super random, but the topic of how the terms objectivity and subjectiviy and their connotations evolved is so interesting. It sounds super boring, but i swear its not xd
(I would suggest objectivity by Perter Gallison and Loraine Daston, but it only shines a light on the evolvment, not the sexist and racist co evolution of the use of those. Donna Haraway had wirten a great paper on that though)
Im sorry to chim in so randomly
"When are these people gonna start talking about how corporations ate hurting all of us?"
*calls the video essayists commies in the same sentence*
and she complains about not being able to afford things bc of other corps like babe... you just did the same thing??
Don’t like mina and haven’t been a fan of her since that embarrassing tweet she made about maroon 5 and the woman who aided in cheating on a pregnant woman, but i find it deeply unserious for you to attack her looks for over 20 minutes just cause you don’t like her eyebrows.
Taking her words out of context so you can attack her…why are we as a video essay community regressing 😭
what was the tweet
What tweet?
I liked Mina a lot in the beginning, since I am a vintage clothing collector and historical fashion seamstress. But I haven't enjoyed any of her videos since early 2022? Monolinguals like her are so full of themselves and think anyone who disagrees is antifeminist, racist, etc. and is very nasty in general. I'm not supporting her just because we're both Asian Americans. She loves to drag on white people a lot, but never discusses conflict between other communities. She's Vietnamese and never talks about Vietnamese community clashes with Malay, Cambodian, or Chinese communities. In every. Single. Video. White people did this, white people are 'shameless gentrifiers' so it's refreshing to see someone finally call her out on her attitude with a well done video essay.
what was the tweet?
why do you care so much about her eyebrows, calm down
because she looks transformers.
@@cheeseflavoredsoda3262 wtf does this even mean
Mina's videos aren't always my cup of tea but wow lmao it has now come to a point even if a person properly researches their videos they still get called out.
your problem being the fact she always has to cite racial discrimination or discrimination in general as the origin of beauty trends and what not is so funny. You really said 'girls just wanna have fun!!' And so be it. Go have fun
Yes we are aware the society exploits us and yes we still have to live in this society. Two things can occur at the same time. It's like I know a bag of chips is bad for me but I don't mind indulging in it.
also lol calling her a commie 😂 you ppl have lost the plot 🤣
You slay, thank you for putting my thoughts into words 🤗💖
shes a proud ultra radical centrist.
@@Zectifin and how had she hurt your views by being that?
@@taegi_0613i think they mean the woman who made this video idk her name not mina. mina is very clearly not a centrist lol - i think theyw ere offering an explanation as to why this woman is acting so stupidly
The first very take is wrong? She's not saying you can't lose weight at all, she's not really taking a side but highlighting a person in history that pushed the opposite idea and why they were wrong.
But they quite literally weren’t wrong. It takes willpower to work out and eat healthy
They were wrong in saying that the size of someone's frame wasn't genetic though, that was her point.@@avalonstout1490
@@avalonstout1490yeah but if you watch the video you’ll see that that person wasn’t saying it takes will power to eat healthy and lose weight, they literally meant if you thought hard enough about it, you could lose weight. It’d be like if I said someone could will their eyesight to be better.
@@avalonstout1490 the other commenter is right. the idea wasn't that you need willpower to make the lifestyle changes necessary to lose weight (which is true). the idea that person was promoting was that if you literally just thought about it, you would lose weight. without needing to make any actual changes in your life. that you lose weight through the power of manifesting it. like that woman on tiktok who says you can cure your bad eyesight but just wanting it bad enough.
yes :) also people can naturally be heavier, rather than it being "their choice" to be overweight in every case. Sure sometimes it's due to negligence/poor diet but some people even with healthy living conditions end up overweight (which I think it's Mina's point)
14:05 that right there ruined your entire argument on this video. The moment you decide to attack someone else's physical appearance and style choices just because they dont fit your standard for "looks good", it's the moment you show who you truly are. Specially when saying this comment to an audience. Mina obviously drags inspiration from fashion from a specific time period and she does a fantastic job at it, showing she put a lot of effort in it; just like how we all put effort into our appearance and fashion choices.
Superficial but it was a sincere critique. It wasn't just "you ugly bitch". I don't get facial symmetry but it wasn't some catty takedown
@@speabody she rambled for like 5 minutes about someone's appearance. I'll give it to you, she did gave some "advice" at the end, but at first it was just negative comments here and there about her eyebrows. Not an objective commentary, more like "I don't like you and you have ugly eyebrows"
@@streya1995 At best it was a nonsequitur. For like 2.5 minutes. I'm a man and I didn't think it was a big deal. I'd say it was almost interesting.
"I get that her eyebrows are supposed to be a nod to the 20s but I don't think it looks good" Omg what a bitch!
"She looks weird in this outfit but this one compliments her petite frame better" Omg why is she so mean?
Her remarks were cogent even though I couldn't care less about fashion theory and form and function and body size and facial structure and symmetry. I don't get the sentiment that this dry tangent totally disrupted everything. Also it's a UA-cam takedown video. This ain't a presidential debate.
It is so embarrassing to read comments of superficial women whining about mean words.
@@speabody I don't know why this girl is so butthurt about a public figure critiquing another public figure. Mina is 27 she doesn't need to be coddled. She's a 'model' and 'aspiring actress' so she'll get much harsher criticism from others. Brittany Venti was kinder than I would've been had I made a critique video. She's absolutely right that those invisible eyebrows look so out of place on Mina, it doesn't complement her bone structure or face shape at all. And she clearly doesn't know a thing about professional makeup. None of the eyeshadows or blushes flatter her complexion. Her criticism was holistic and constructive.
This video and the girl screams JEALOUSY, BULLYING AND BODYSHAMING. Just waisted my time because mina le is literally one of the best UA-camrs out there
1:25 She really pulled the “you criticize society, yet you participate in it, curious”. Wow gottem.
Pretty much yeah
Every "anti woke" centrist in youtube lmao
it's not about just "participating" in it, she does absolutely NOTHING to make things better AT ALL
Would she be harmed if she chooses not to? No absolutely not yet she does. This isn't just passively participating in it but actively engaging with every element to maximise her profits and life so when the revolution comes, she doesn't suffer.
@@sixe9095What could one person do to destroy or even challenge the historical and societal class imbalance that is deeply ingrained in our world?
Ok. *still continues to watch Mina le*
As a watcher of Mina Le, I have to say I think your criticisms of her takes on "That Girl" is quite fair and I appreciate getting a different view on it, mainly because it was the only point in which you added actual evidence for, but the rest felt very "straw man." You know (or, at least I hope you know) that when she was referring to the cause of fat being multi-faceted, that she wasn't saying "no one can get skinny" and what she was saying was completely backed by science. You agreed with her that forced representation feels weird, but when she got annoyed with the forced representation, you acted like she was contradicting herself when she was literally saying the exact same things just in different ways. I also can't tell what you were trying to say with the whole woke washing criticisms at 5:50, because you appear to agree with her but then started talking about BlackRock and Vanguard as if she somehow was supporting them with her statement? or what? I don't know what they had to do with the woke washing. I guess you were just talking about how they were a bigger issue, as you did with a few other of her issues, but that also feels weird and unnecessary. Just because something isn't the "biggest issue" doesn't mean you can't make a video on it. With that logic, you shouldn't even be making a video on Mina at all since she isn't the "biggest youtuber" doing this kind of content. Anyway, good luck on future videos! It's always good to get different takes on something and I hope you take the criticisms other people have been saying about the fashion-bullying being mean spirited and taking things out of context/misconstruing them to heart and use them to make even better videos in the future :)
agree, so many arguments in this video were far fatched... it's like this youtuber isn't even trying to understand what Mina is saying
She shouldn't make a critique of Mina Le If she isn't even able to follow what Mina Le says. She is one of those people to fill in everything with her assumptions instead of listening.
how did you make a 22 minute video saying nothing or putting words in this other girls mouth..... quite impressive
nothing tops Mina's channel
Okay I get not liking her but this video is REACHING so hard it snaps it’s own back. Very not nuanced and cherry picky. To clarify, her videos have genuine problems but should still be taken with a grain of salt which you can do by having you own head on your shoulda. But this woman literally criticised Mina for bringing up statistics like come on. This video feels so incredibly pointless as well as it’s critiques.
yeah and i also don’t get the endless hating on her eyebrows (very subjective imo) and telling that she smells like good will, some criticism is fair but i don’t know about this…
@@lirochka1953 I agree, this is my first video I watch of hers and I find it a bit rude and hard to agree with her when she criticizes Mina’s physical appearance and calls her outfit “disgusting”.
Wait maybe I was spacing out but she wasn't JUST criticizing her eyebrows she was also telling her how to fix it. Same with the clothes. She's telling you how to fix it. She also complimented her outfits various times. Though I might have to rewatch but I don't see a problem with criticizing things you can change. Clothes and eyebrows are easy to fix
@@armellebiampamba4257But why would anyone “fix” it if that’s the aesthetic that they are aiming for though? Like who is anyone to say a specific aesthetic doesn’t look good cuz it doesn’t look “harmony” or whatever lol. That can be said for the majority of the aesthetics.
@@claire4212 because, aesthetics do not compare to balancing facial features. Having the wrong clothes can positively and negatively affect how one looks and aesthetic has nothing on that. Stylists and artists work hard to make compelling design and they know their craft enough to know what may or may not work hence why they still get hired and paid. Color theory, and learning to match clothes to your skin tone is also much more valuable than aesthetic. Nothing against aesthetic but you need to realize just because something is aesthetic doesn't mean it'll work for you.
I can no longer stomach the word "Problematic"🥴
me too. can't help but cringe when i hear/read this word lately

@@amazingbecka1just because she speaks about fashion doesn't mean she should get mocked for her fashion style. She clearly follows a specific time period in fashion and draws inspo from it and she does it in a good way that's modern but true to the source. Just because it's not a fashion style that complies to your definition of beauty or aesthetics, it doesn't means it looks bad; it means we are free to make choices and can do as we please.
@@streya1995very well said
yall are so sensitive oh my god get over it
Mina Le literallyyyy does theory on trends. She THEORISES trends… to theory, you should take an intersection perspective. Intersectional LITERALLY means class, race and gender - so for Mina to not include those would be anti-intersectional. It is LITERALLY studied that if you are not using intersectional perspective then you are siding with white feminism or pro-capitalism. This is why Mina’s videos are this way. If you have a problem with intersectionality then this means that race equality is not a priority for you in basic society. Please study sociology.

It's more an American 1920's outfit.
It's 1920s AMERICAN fashion.
Half of people in the comments doesn't seem to know a difference between race, culture and fashion.
@@pinkshirt3549 and what were 90% of Americans in the 20s? White, recently immigrated from Europe. There's clear European influence in their clothing. They obviously didn't allow many from other races to design clothing that's become popular. What was your point?
@@xulula7035 my point is that you people completely fail to recognize a difference between race and culture and thank you for proving my point. If you're American then you're American, no matter whether you're white, black or purple. Also white=/=European and Europe has like tens of distinct different cultures, so which one exactly do you mean? Or do think just whiteness designed these outfits?
@@pinkshirt3549 lol the fashion was HEAVILY influenced by European fashion. It was pretty much EUROPEAN fashion, nothing distinctly "American" about it.
Us South Vietnamese had to flee the country after losing the war from Communism. It's so sad to see many of us younger Viets brainwashed like this when our parents and grandparents living examples of their cruelty.
Sadly, they'd just say "That isn't real communism. The communism I'm preaching would have definitely worked". Constant mental gymnastics...
It really is sad to see.
Many of them sit comfortably in a first world capitalistic country, ignoring what generations prior had to endure to even give them the life they naively take for granted, all to play the “Racism = white people. Power = white people. White people = bad. White majority countries = capitalism. Capitalism = bad” game … because it always boils down to such when it comes to their reasons for supporting it.
Their black and white way of thinking consists of going all out against whatever they’ve been naively led to believe is ‘bad’ and throwing their hat in for the complete opposite. Due to how much they believe themselves to be intellectually superior and ~enlightened~ for being able to see the ‘bad’, they’ll ignore what prior generations experienced because right now, only _their_ experiences matter … and truthfully, all they’ve experienced is life in a first world country. Yet they somehow equate it to being the same (or worse), and as we all know, a first world country obviously equals bad white people shit. White people = power, racism, etc. etc. etc.
Modern first world academia has really done a number on these types of people…

As much as Mina is throwing Buzzwords she doesn't understand or know the complexities of these issues, the problem is that Brittany also doesn't understand the issues as well especially when it comes to the gender pay gap which does exist the problem is she doesn't grasp how it works especially when it comes to multivariate analysis that has proven that it does exist. I hope she didn't listen to Jordan Peterson when she states that The gender pay gap is none existence.
she definetly listens to jp and probably candace owens
Can you counter her point? How does the gender pay gap exist in 2023 with clear defined examples?
There is a gender pay gap but it’s not due to sexism like most people will have you believe. Most studies are skewed and don’t include specific instances where men are taking higher paying jobs in that field.
For example, there’s a big disparity in the medical field with surgeons, but only 12% of women are neurosurgeons, which is one of the highest paying jobs so naturally there’s going to be a disparity.
The issue isn’t sexism, it’s more so that as women, out interests just align elsewhere and sometimes those jobs just don’t pay as much in general.
@@svetlanaromanov941That's literally JP's talking point. Gender pay gap in the west isn't a simple oh man gets paid less for doing the same shit you do. It's that the pay for jobs that are popular with men gets higher and higher with time while jobs that suddenly shift from having majority male workers to female workers don't have that shift. Corporations have figured out you can have them do the same job for lesser pay. There's also the issue with paid maternity leave and how women that are mothers aren't valued as much in the workplace because of our cultural and social expectations of women being the default parent even when both parents work. JP wants you to believe oh sexism and all that doesn't exist anymore, women earn less because they do jobs that pay less. It's simple and tries to paint people that talk about it as dumb. Whenever a party is doing that, you know they don't want you to dig deeper into the issue.
In my country (and im sure in many others too) the gender pay gap is a real thing.
I was genuinely interested in the title of this video, but when the first “commentary” she gave is already an unprecedented insult about minale’s look/ choices of style… instantly know that this “commentary” is a trash piece with superficial talking points and was coming from a very bad place🙃
I think you could have made your point without attacking how she looks and dresses, it screams mean girl
She’s a fashion channel it’s fair game
@Brittany Venti it didn't enhance your point in anyway, and there wasn't any need really was there Brittany. You were criticising wokeness, and you criticised her eyebrows. When you clearly don't have that much knowledge about it. Your views were subjective and not nuanced.
@@BrittanyVenti Then you are talking about something you don't know. If you knew about it you would realize that she's wearing an alternative look inspired by the 30's. I mean, it's fine that you like the most basic fashion like the one you use, but that doesn't mean you're going to talk trash about someone who does know the history of fashion and who uses that to express their identity. If you think that fashion only serves to "look good" you are lost.
I gotta say, I'm black and a girl who categorizes me into "POC" is an immediate turn off.

Egh, reminds me of my first gf
P.S. I worked in the luxury fashion industry and it was a bunch of incompetent pretty people who made up for the their sloppy business practices by having crazy markups on items that weren't always the best quality or even comfortable. At the end of the season they pull all their clothes back into the warehouse and literally burn them to keep the value of the clothes high. In other words, the value on the secondary market is mostly due to it's rarity and not much else. The labor was paid for thousands of times over at this point.

Don’t go for my girl Mina she does her research and always backs everything up
Facts. She’ll even correct herself if someone else provides a source that disagrees with what she’s said.
She's youtube's top grifer. Please get ur information from legitimate sources than half baked YT "intellectuals"
8:30 Girl, don't pretend you don't understand that she's drawing a distinction between tokenistic/stereotypical representation and more authentic/meaningful representation. You gotta be smarter than that
Maybe, but I bet she's smart enough to understand wtf that statement means so she's got me beat ☹️❤️👑
@@jakefromstatefarm5204 In the video, Mina is saying that not all representation of minorities is good. Sometimes the way a token minority character is portrayed just reinforces stereotypes and ends up being kinda racist. I think that distinction between meaningful representation (where a minority character has a whole personality, flaws, nuances etc.) vs tokenism is pretty clear in Mina's video -- to the point where it seems like Brittany would have to pretend not to understand.
@@gailism oh okay. but I feel like Brittany did acknowledge the difference between the two using her own example, but maybe the way she edited the video she missed that they agreed in this case? 🤷
@@jakefromstatefarm5204 yeah, that could definitely be the case

Ridiculous how they try to present exercise as 'inaccessible', what a cop out. You can do calisthenics and pilates with no equipment at home no problem. You can run outside with just a regular t shirt leggings and trainers no problem. But you're not, and it's not because it's 'iNaCeSsiBle', it's because you don't want to.
And the worst part is, men STILL beg for chances with girls like this. Why would they ever get in shape for real when they have no incentive to?
right, low impact HIIT can also be easily done at home, and UA-cam is filled with this type of training
The only possible way exercising could be inaccessible is if you live in 0 block and risk getting shot just by being outside.
@@postanova3662 Omg so true Ive been doing exercise at home with the YT workouts for 7 months around now and I feel better than I was years ago

The scary part is that Blackrock and Vanguard, own eachother!!! They are a monopoly already and need to be broken up.
I had been subscribed to Mina for probably over a year because she used to mainly focus on fashion history which I really liked. But I had to give her up because I got so tired of being drawn into what looked like interesting topics only for her to make it about white people being a problem, racism, fat phobia, capitalism bad ect. And other historian creators I liked for the same reason have fallen to the same thing. I didn't even bother watching Mina's doll video because I knew she'd make it about racism and I'm just so tired of it.
Seems like all these historical fashion people always end up putting their woke political narratives in their videos. It's ironic that they love historical, especially European, fashion.
This is the same reason I avoid most fashion history channels-or even regular history, really. I'm not interested in listening to anyone's unsolicited opinions on contemporary American politics, that's not what I go to history channels for. Sucks because some of that content could've been good otherwise. I'm tired of the bait-and-switch, so I steer clear at this point; they don't even bother to be smart about it and separate their potentially political content into a second channel, like Shadiversity did.
I recommend Karolina Żebrowska, she's Polish like me but records in english, very based channel imo
@@akwaMartyna I love her
I watch the historical fashion channels sometimes but I never have subbed to them for just what you’re saying. They’re all woke af and it’s annoying how they have to somehow talk about racism or some kind of phobia every freaking episode they make. Somehow they ALWAYS figure out a way to mention or bring it up. Our generation is lost.
It's actually impressive that Brittany took the time to hold a microphone for the entire video without bothering to turn it on, so the audio is coming from the camera mic and not the microphone that she is holding.
Is it just a prop?
I also commented this too, but I don’t doubt her awareness and ability to do this intentionally for some reason or another. Just to make us techie bois twitch or something 😂
No I used a rode mic for this video, attached to my camera.
its a karaoke mic.
It’s one of those walgreen karaoke mics. If she had turned it on it there would have been a ton a ton of reverb. You can’t plug them into anything, they just have a speaker.
@@BrittanyVenti so.... the camera mic. The mic attached to the camera.

Probably paying the bills whit other's people success
And it’s crazy she calls people like Mina for being attention seeking, yet some would argue the way she dresses isn’t conservative and attention seeking too and distasteful. But nobody made an essay calling her a slut or ugly. cyber bullying at its finest 💁♀️
Commies are awfully quick to suck up to the most capitalist industries and companies.
Designer brands aren't automatically ethical with their production.
I watched some of her Met Gala videos since I like to see people ragging on absurd fashion choices.
Then I watched some of her essays, and then came forth the incessant buzzwords, "systemic, racist, sexist, appropriation, transphobic, fatphobic homophobic" etc.
Hard not to roll your eyes. If your argument defaults to, "This is bad because of X-ism/phobia." Then you need to do a better job of breaking down whatever it is you're critiquing.
A lesbian rejecting a transbian's advances qualifies as transphobia, so does that mean the lesbian is a bad person for not entertaining a male with a PP as a potential partner?
Declaring something an X-ism/phobia is not a fully formed point.
If I don't view something as transphobic, then I will never understand why you're against it, it is a very subjective way to declare something as bad.
These commie video essays are not designed to convince people of something they disagree with, it is validation to those who already believe those things, that they are enlightened individuals for seeing CottageCore as a racist subculture where others do not.
"Commies are awfully quick to suck up to the most capitalist industries and companies."
Marx was a spoiled rich kid obsessed with maintaining the appearance of high class, even after being cut off from his wealthy family, to the detriment to his own family. His philosophy is obsessed with material goods, so it only makes sense that it attracts massive materialistic egoists, who preach the opposite out of a sense of guilt.
The same could be said with any videos by creators who have an agenda. Once you actually try to form your own perspective by either engaging in the matter in several angles, or just detach oneself from it (meaning you simply don't care about it), you will eventually see a pattern from these videos, left or right, and that is that neither of them really shows any sound arguments in the first place. They all base their viewpoints through their emotions and a hunger of controlling the other party to ensure bigger monetary profits (through political or social means).
I believe that this is deliberately built to keep people divided and distracted from what's more important in life (community, ethics, practical solutions). From how social media (or screen-screen contacts with others) strips away our ability to actually listen to one another, to the media figures we see, trying to do their most, just to garner attention from their target demographics, there's a reason why conservative media outlets, especially has started recruiting young, attractive women on to their program, giving them access to a studios and support from the prominent figures at the beginning. We literally are commercializing ideologies to young kids into making them do the dirty work for the leaders in the media-corporations. It's insane!
@@varsisa You don't really need an agency to do it when academia is completely infested with people who push this nonsense.
America is a failed state
The elites have made people believe that them living under socialism is good

A lesbian rejecting a transwoman with a pẹnis will always be “omg how dare you, you’re committing literal gėnơcỉđẹ” levels of transphõbîa because these wokies see them as real women.
The eyebrows with her eyeshadow makes her look way older than she is. But it's her face she can do whatever she wants.
I'm getting the feeling that every single female on youtube has been recommended mina lee videos
This video was horrible. Half of it wasn't even research it was just insulting her appearance and clothing. And none of actually dismantled the allegations of racism or oppression in western institutions like the fashion industry.
It must be exhausting to be like her. Can you imagine constantly looking at everything and anything and defaulting to anger, revolt and indignation? That cannot be good for your health
I recommend reading the passage in 1984 where the protagonist has to participate in the daily Two Minutes Hate. Online virtue-signal behavior is essentially the same.
I used to love her fashion content but now all she does is this.
but it's the same in the comments here. My views are closer to Britanny's on this but people here are complaning about cancel culture. It's the same thing but they are just scared of different buzzwords
The thing is, she 100% does not believe the shite she spouts, it's a performance.
I was thinking the same thing. Wondering what it must be like to constantly be looking for things to offend me. I just can't wrap my head around it. These people have to be constantly angry.
I am black. And all my family is black. Most of the women in my family are in good shape if not fit. All of my female cousins are fit. All of them learned to play an instrument (flute, violin, harp, etc) and/or played a sport (mostly track and field) in a league while growing up. And I even had one who did ballet until she became an adult. And we were barely middle class.
Thank God I wasn’t born black in the USA, because it seems that everything try to keep you down when you have this skin in this country.
Yeah it's seems like USA is really backwards
I don't necessarily agree with Mina or typically enjoy her political takes, but God this video critique is so bad. You gave zero nuance to your takes, just stayed surface level since if you were to go deeper, you would realize it's all bullshit (except the "cultural appreciation" thing and her supposed good consumption of clothing, I think you did well at addressing them). Let's take your force diversity claim; you're basically saying "force diversity" is bad because it equals empty poc characters who have nothing real to them? Doing so by providing no reasoning behind the claim, even citing Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" remake which is a terrible example because the character turned out to be one of the best aspects of the mediocre movie. Is there something inherently wrong with a director purposely searching for a black actress for a particular role? If so, what is it? I'm not a fan of race swapping characters, but you didn't provide good reasons as to why it is bad, so I can only guess your response would be "nothing".
Another one is the fat thing. Mila said being fat is typically influenced by genetics since some people are going to have some predisposition to a certain body type, disease, etc. I agree with you that it doesn't really help much discussing it like that and not going further. We should probably focus more on how to help people who might be generically less fortunate in that aspect by educating on nutrition and encouraging exercise. However, saying "being fat is a lazy person issue" is stupid as fuck and you won't even achieve helping anyone, which I'm guessing is what you would care about.
Also, I don't understand why you think she should focus on issues that you find to be more relevant rather than the issues she might be more interested in discussing and critiquing, especially considering those issues she's dealing with are of importance, relating to the issues you care about. Like, okay? And wasn't the appearance comment a little too petty and useless?
U explained this well, and I agree w you.
Definitely agree. Her “critique” was mediocre in its execution which is a shame because I agree with her. The little mermaid argument was a huge cope.
You put into words everything I wanted to say. This video really came off as she attacking Mina just because and wanting the clicks and views just by riding Mina's popularity and many subscribers. It gives ✨️insecurity ✨️ and ✨️jealousy ✨️
Why do ppl hate socially aware ppl
Great video. As a Nigerian, it always boggles my mind how every anti-capitalist I hav seen ALWAYS happens to be some upper/middle class westerner; usually an urban millennial or zoomer. Why do they want to destroy the ideology that made their society so prosperous and that has improved much of the world? Thanks for actually calling out these disgusting victimhood enablers and liars.
As a fellow Nigerian, couldn’t agree more. You’ve spoken well
@@soundsurg3on thanks and God bless.
Thats a very pure assessment. The west has brought people from poverty but the west itself is now spoiled and entitled. Of course as you know this mentality of entitlement is completely manufactured in these leftists.
Keep in mind that as a Nigerian, conservatives hate you. Conservativism is anti-black. By definition
Well, capitalism definitely has a lot of things that we can critique as it is a broken system that doesn't seem sustainable at all, what you're describing is champagne socialism :) they're the most common breed of "anti-capitalists"
I used to really enjoy Mina’s videos when she first started out and was covering fashion primarily. But very quickly every video became “OMG thing bad bc capitalism/patriarchy” and it just got really tiring.
Your name is so on topic for this video lol
"Thing bad bc capitalism/patriarchy" is what sells tho. On the flipside there are grifters like Pearl as well
@@aeoligarlic4024 that’s why people are stupid for giving someone as unimportant as her a voice. She sells to morons, so it’s not surprising they fall for it
Same, she kinda lost me when said Barbie should talk about contraceptive topics like girl is a doll Jesus
I feel the exact same way. And I'm very left leaning and critical of capitalism myself, yet it just gets tiring to listen to her constantly complain about the patriarchy and tiktok/fashion trend XYZ being problematic. Sometimes a fun trend is really nothing more than a fun trend and it ain't that deep. Like the that girl trend for example. I personally find the typical that girl routine with the waking up early, doing yoga etc. to be a little bland and basic, however, the term "that girl" in itself can be inspiring to just be the best version of yourself. Plus it's a matter of how you create your own that girl routine and what works the best for you personally, but I thought that's self explanatory. Plus there's nothing wrong about inspiring people to get your shit together and care about your health.
With a lot of video essays of hers, I clicked on it because I was curious about her takes but at the end of the video I just found myself empty and bored.
This video brought up how I feel about the dark academia culture of fashion, and how after it started people were making videos about how it was problematic because they believed that minorities can’t afford to go to college or other higher education. Like, let people wear what they want to wear. 🤦
why can’t they just let people like stuff
Dark academia is apparently offensive because of elitism ? What?
I never heard anyone from the fashion history side of youtube say you couldn’t dress how you wanted. I watched some that sorta naturally fell into the aesthetic. People were just pointing out the elitism of the institutions the aesthetic romanticizes. I mean, eugenics and racialism were literally born out of old European academia and higher education is still elitist today, so if people want to be nerds about old nerd-dom, it kinda fits lol. The only people I heard whining were the da girlies who DO have elitist attitudes and didn’t want people invading “their” aesthetic because they are “actual” intellectuals.
I say we return to our origins. Everybody naked. Everyone can afford that.

@@user-ys2zv8fm7x I guess. But's it's an issue when they're all spewing the same talking points, and there's no other woman saying otherwise.
@@j3zter618 that's because those movements are completely crippled by victimhood mentality and the addiction to victim roles.
Most people will roll with that victim label because it absolves them of any accountability of their actions or situation, which is nice for fragile ego's.
As a chronic ill person, I often see and get mad at people blaming everything on their medical problems, or only really bring it up just to garner sympathy or show how they're "oppressed" and how every layer of society works against them (sounds familiar?)
I hope women break feminism out of this problem, it isn't productive for anyone.
I like Mina Lee's videos because there is truth to the historical background she gives. For instance, yes, 70+ years ago, wealthy people did enslave people and were very selective and condescending in some of the most minor cases. (Quiet Luxury Video). Also, companies have and will try to sell you anything and everything. Don’t get me started on spending money on “national days,” lol. However, yes, I agree the “woke” area we’re in can be too much. We need to learn and differentiate between forced diversity and diversity.
what is forced diversity? not everyone is white and the existence of people who are different is not forced, people exist.
The keyword here is "wealthy" but she doesn't encapsulate wealthy people; she labels all white people as the oppressor regardless of economic status. That is the problem. She also fails to mention slavery of any other country, Africa being the biggest offender here who willingly sold their own people for riches, the Arabs also had a whale of a time enslaving millions of Africans, most of whom died on the journey back to the Arab nations or who were castrated and bled to death. The ironic thing is that these fashion "historians" always dunk on European countries, white people (like we are all the same), and make out like we are all white supremacists, yet seem to adore our history, fashion, cultural ideas, and inventions.
The problem is that a lot of people, any diversity, is forced diversity.
I guess as long as someone says somethings they're right, even if it's something insightful.
I was actually hoping this would be an actual critique and not you whining and falling flat on woke jokes for 20 minutes

Love Mina’s eyebrows ❤ I thought they were jarring at first, but I think they are charming and suit her. I felt the same when I saw Kahlo’s brows as well. Honestly the fact that you’re trying to shit on them might make me love them even more.
“Ballet is racist.”
*Misty Copeland enters the chat*
I think the French invented ballet and a white guy invented basket ball. Shall we complain that black men have taken over the sport? NO! It is just what dance or sport works best with certain cultures or body type.
As Brittany pointed out her walking contradictions demonstrate she doesn't actually believe what she's saying. She acts this way in her videos for clicks.
They’re are so many black dancers better than Misty..
Plus, Debbie Allen and her whole school of performance…
I mean ur example wasn’t the best. Hasn’t misty talked about facing racism in the ballet field? It’s not bad to Acknowledge that there may be racist undertones in something.
People don't even know what capitalism is. I went to college for three years for business administration, and took many courses on micro and macroeconomics. Capatalism is a FREE market based on supply and demand. In capatalism, monopolies are not legally allowed to dominate ANY market. In this country, it is ILLEGAL for any monopoly to dominate any market. Yet, it's not enforced, monopolies literally control EVERY SINGLE MARKET. That means we are not in a truly capitalist society. You can't blame capatalism for all our problems when we don't even have a truly capalist economy. Our government WANTS us to believe we are operating in a capatalist economy, were not.
Yes, the US is a mixed economy. Pure capitalism is bad as well
@@lexdoesstuff1190 why do you say so?
"Make a racist joke about me eating fried chicken, as long as I can afford to eat the chicken" based!
Girl, what I think you missed a lil is a thing called nuance. Like yes, ofc that people should not see themselves as victims to their circumstance (even tho they might be and that's also ok) , and if they have to or want to change sth they sure can, but u cannot deny the fact that after that systematic oppression does play a big part in people's life and that's what I suppose Mina meant. Like who's sitting around saying that they cannot do anything about their situation be it body image, mental or physical health, their finances or their social life, I think that those people are the ones who try to get ahead of said satiation bc they literally have no choice sometimes.
Also people can criticize capitalism and still take a part in it, it's literally how the world works and the girl gotta eat, damn.
About balletcore- in the same video she also said how black professional ballerinas have less opportunities to do ballet, to be accepted into classes or to be given roles, she also said that they spend extra money to color their shoes with different darker tones bc they are not made in black tones- funny how u skipped to put that in your video.
About Mina's eyebrows- I thought we were here to discuss her takes on different topics but I guess u needed to vent about stupid eyebrows for quite a while...
About her shopping at actually more expensive trift stores- ok that one I actually agree with.
Thank you so much for saying all this🙏🙏
THANK YOU
"people can criticize capitalism and still take a part in it, it's literally how the world works and the girl gotta eat" - lol, this hypocrisy is the root of all the kommie/left things ever. Just pathetic grifters, starting with this Marx guy who lived off that Engel's dude. (spits in disgust)
putting emojis in business emails and saying it’s the opposite of “male business etiquette” has got to be the cringiest most air headed take ever, is she talking about her influencer z-lost celeb brand ad correspondence? her emails don’t have to be serious because the work she’s doing isn’t serious
Male business etiquette essentially just means "not screwing around."
That's what modern feminism is now
Step 1, what are men doing
Step 2, do the opposite to prove a point
So infantile.
@@GeometricPidgeon Not really, the truth is that even leftist girls "pink wash" themselves and do the cute air-head thing because its heteronormatively attractive.
I agree. And the point she makes reminds me of those who say that being on time for work, being professional and having a general good work ethic is "white supremacy". Ironically, it is mind blowing how racist that statement is, just like a woman being unable to keep emojis out of business emails is insanely sexist.
@@user-is7xs1mr9y It implies that people of colour are unprofessional, and that unprofessionalism and bad work ethic are linked to race somehow. Actual example of horseshoe theory.
