    I feel like lot of this type of ‘drama’ could be avoided if fans/stans stopped reading into surface level situations and having celebrities ‘comment’ on the drama as well because it just adds more fuel to the dumpster fire.

      @@UnpoeticJustice​Seriously! The amount of videos I’ve seen claiming that Hailey is/was a stalker of Selena and Justin is low key making my brain rot. I’m not a supporter of either side, but it’s really funny to me how stans forget how they all acted in their adolescence when it came to worshiping their own celebrity crushes. Her actions seem harmless compared to what I’ve seen other people do and since she came from a wealthy/famous family, she had more direct accessibility to form a relationship with him.

    The "mean" comes out as well in relationships between emotionally immature women when one doesn't behave as the other wants or expects. I have noticed this manifests with the lack of modeling of healthy interaction and communication, especially by caregivers

  • @CRAMDVoiceLessons

    Love your point about how the trivialization of female issues lowers the threshold of ppl willing to engage in girlfights, and how the assumption of emotional intelligence in women preempts opportunities for women to take agency in their emotional development.
    I think another very prominent characteristic of the male conceptualization of girlfights, especially in Western culture, is this fallacious, aspirational notion of men's comparative stoicism. Not only does this offload "emotional labor" (as much as this term is abused) onto women, but I think it lets me off the hook way too easily.
    I like how you want more for women, but men are throwing literal nukes in twig houses in comparison. When it comes to "boy fights", we are choosing the literal nuclear option when we're not getting in weekly barfights and spree shooting. Twitter drama seems healthy in comparison lol.
    I think when women emulate this revisionist male gaze; it's especially fascinating how profoundly ppl like Selena project wanting peace while sublimating her transparent pettiness into subliminal tweets.

    You know this made me remember a time when i was like 7 and was playing to be a teacher with my mom. A girl made fun of me so i pretended my doll was her and scolded her for getting all the questions wrong. My mom asked me "why dont we pretend you did really well in class instead?". And in hindsight that little moment teached me a lot about how to deal with the natural agression i felt growing up. Its really interesting to hear others experiences with relationships as a child. Realy good video!

    As someone with pretty privelege I intentionally don't wear makeup, cut my hair short, and wear comfort clothes. I intentionally try and make it so I don't have pretty privelege.
    Being Transmasc made me very uncomfortable with the comments people give me. Comments like "you're so cute when you're angry" or "you sneeze like a kitten" always annoyed me. No one ever took me, my emotions, or my intellect seriously when I was more femme and took some care at my looks.
    I also had no idea if people prized me for my looks or my brains. I didn't and still don't know why people want to date me.
    You aren't taken seriously if you're pretty. You aren't treated with respect or dignity. That and people both idolize and look down on you.
    Its way less fun than just trying to make myself as normal looking as possible and being treated human.
    Long story short is pretty privelege qint always worth it.

    When there is drama like this among celebrities it just reminds me that no amount of money or followers takes away insecurities or jealousy. You've got enough money and status to never even have to be seen in public again but here we are still fighting over the same stuff we joke high schoolers do. You can be married to a whole generation's boy crush and more money than most will ever have access to but here we are still seeing this turmoil playing out across social media.

  • @restingsadface
    @restingsadface Рік тому +93

    I also think that a big factor in why we take girl fights less seriously (at least when white women do it) as a society is because of our cultural perception of women being the objectively weaker sex.
    maybe this is cultural but I think that anyone who has actually seen two girls actually throw down can verify that some girls can just go Hulk Hogan on each other. anyone whose seen it knows that just because your a physically small female doesn’t mean you can’t draw blood or fuck someone up during a fight. but since we perceive women as being physically weaker, we think it’s more a joke.
    it could also be a movie problem. like in movies and tv when girls are literally throwing each other around with stunt doubles and shit, but there’s silly music playing or funny slap sounds. whereas if it were dudes fighting like that there would be blood everywhere, the dudes would be injured/bruised, and the other characters take it very seriously.

    Appreciate that at least for the context of this video, you present Pick Me's as people who seek general approval and social status rather than just girls who want male attention. I always found that to be a regressive and simplified interpretation of them that refused to empathize or understand how these women came to be. The Pick Me almost feels like a scapegoat to not address men's role in the problem.

    • @UnpoeticJustice
      @UnpoeticJustice  Рік тому +3

      I think some women try to take on a lot of blame on to themselves in an attempt to decentralize men; I know I have a habit of doing that. While I do believe there is a push-and-pull balance, or "shared blame", with both men and women when it comes why someone is a Pick Me, we could probably stand to address the role of men in some situations a bit more.

    this video is very good!! i’m not at all aware of this drama but i’ve heard it is going on, and everything you say is very much applicable to both celebrity/influencer spaces and within our own lives. when you mention how parasocial relationships have much more to do with ego, that really clicked for me, considering i had spent my entire teenhood inthralled in ones with youtubers, internet influencers, and kpop idols. things started to change when i realized their fan service and personalities are commodified, and especially with kpop. capitalism is in everything!!! but also thinking about the ego and how i’ve changed with my healing alongside the “mean girl” behavior i’ve dealt with from others helps me think a lot differently in my personal life.
