The Body Shamers | Is It Concern or Concern Trolling? Description: In this video, I unpack the heated conversations surrounding Ariana Grande's recent appearances during her Wicked promo tour, where much of the attention has been on her visibly thinner frame. I'm torn—on one hand, I'm grappling with the societal obsession over women's bodies, especially when they appear to deviate from the so-called norm. On the other, I can't ignore the deeper layers of concern tied to health, beauty standards, and public accountability. It's a tricky balance between acknowledging personal autonomy while also critiquing how celebrity culture pressures women to look a certain way. Let's dive into why this discourse feels so messy, and where we go from here. 👩🏾‍💻 Watch Next SlimKim, Fatphobia, and the Demise of Decency in the Next Trump Era → https://www.youtube.com/live/LK5gDJX1sD0 Is it okay to talk about how scary skinny Ariana and Cynthia are? → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3dcQ2Ku_Vs Here is the revised list without the dashes: 0:00 Loading... 4:39 Introduction to Ariana Grande discourse 7:00 Ariana's plea against body shaming 12:12 Celebrity culture and body image issues 15:10 Transitioning between black and white aesthetics 18:56 Ariana's boundaries on body image discussions 22:29 The dangers of commenting on appearances 28:14 The impact of social media on body image 30:34 Mental health crisis among young adults 35:00 Concerns about a return to harmful norms 43:34 Link between body politics and electoral politics 45:23 Extreme thinness ideal and political fascism 54:57 Body positivity versus body neutrality era 1:00:02 Rejecting harmful body ideals 1:04:40 Focus on black women's health issues 1:14:48 Internet's impact on childhood experiences 1:17:10 Concerns about raising children in tech age 1:21:19 Food industry adapting to weight loss drugs 1:30:26 Importance of vitamin D from sunlight 1:31:58 Debate on sunscreen and vitamin D production 1:36:47 Health risks of vitamin D deficiency </video> <video> We HAVE to Talk About Chappell Roan + Normani's Album Sales | BWK · June 26, 2024 Description: I'm H-O-T-T-O-G-O!
