Good News/Bad News

Until women stop painting their faces, I don't see how they can seriously expect equality.

Fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake lips, fake nails, fake boobs, fake butts, and yeah.... fake faces.

Strange, cultural, vain, valueless norms with zero functionality...

Except for the evolutionary cry to men: "I really want your sperm!"

 

Does this apply to men who get hair transplants or wear toupees? How about guys who dye their hair?

 

Also, wearing makeup “evolutionary” or strange and culture-specific?

[hypothetically]

Those were opinions (which you are entitled to), but opinions.... Shady AF opinions, nonetheless... ?

 

it’s all good though Regina.... ?

 

His age is in his profile. lol.

From what I read about him. He is very self-centered and not charitable and does not “give back” to society. Yes, it was my value judgment based on that he does not “give back”. I could put up with his poor taste (my opinion) but not with his lack of altruism toward society.

 

Not reading Vogue, I can only imagine the types of people to whom you refer and I do put them in the same category of “tacky” with the over-the-top lifestyles promoted in similar magazines (Departures, Sunday NY Times magazine, etc).

 

To point out the materialism on display by JS (and the over-the-top lifestyle magazines) is not fundamentally uncivil. Like Trump’s Fifth Avenue condo done in Louis XIV on steroids, the JS house is a sign of the rot in our society of self-centered people.

 

Full disclosure: I can forgive the over-the-top homes IF the owner has a charitable side and “gives back.” An example is Joan Rivers whose condo, like Trump, was done in Louis XIV and gold gilt was everywhere; however, she was always charitable and helped others.

 

You spend money on escorts. Some consider that excessive. Are you charitable? Do you help others?

 

..Will we ever know? Should we care?

No. You can apply this sentiment to your feelings about JS.

A side point, there are content creators out there who create fake feuds and fake relationships just for views and dollars

 

This shouldn't be a side point... It's the main point.

 

Eyes = money on YouTube. Like him or hate him, if you feel something towards him, he's done his job well.

 

Indifference is the only thing that can truly hurt a social media star.

Are you effing serious? The stereotyping, queerphobia and misogyny in that statement is just dazzling.

 

(PS As a cis woman, I'm particularly appalled.)

"Over the top" is a matter of taste. You are showing off your "taste," which is culturally determined and subjective.

 

Helping non-binary people accept themselves is helping others even if it doesn't help you.

Part of his YouTube uploads and overall publicity around him does consist of creating drama and feuds with other peers in his field. I haven't followed any news about him recently but that's how I remember things a few years ago. Actually ditched my YouTube account where I used to follow lots of content creators a few years back.

A side point, there are content creators out there who create fake feuds and fake relationships just for views and dollars.

I can relate to the tone of the original post because however way you slice it, he made part of his wealth off of being petty, which doesn't sit well with me.

But can't hate him because he's still a boss.

This is a much more solid basis for critique than "taste" and feels more like actual criticism than ridicule and judgment.

Queerphobia? Fear of the strange/odd? Fear of Queer identifying person?

 

Why are people now saying, "As a......., Im ...... when proclaiming something? Have you noticed it is never to proclaim something good only something bad. I don think I have ever heard As a male, I loved The Witcher. So if I wasn't a male I wouldn't like it at as much?

[Chad Constantine]

Diversion - I'm watching Witcher now and am enjoying it so far...I'm nor sure I understand the implied implication

 

I guess what I am saying, besides hating my generation lol, is I wish people would stop talking like politicians or expert witness when stating their opinions/feelings like it heightens its value. Cant we just K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Sally. However, since that isnt happening at least do it for things you like as well as dislike.

 

PS If your not watching Netflix's You check that ish out. Started watching season 2 are it is off the hook.
