  1. Clarification: One of the risks of the buccal fat surgery is severing the facial nerve, which can cause paralysis. When done correctly, the procedure does not severe the nerve. However, plastic surgeons say that the surgery is impossible to reverse due to the maxillary artery being permanently severed and buccal fat pad being permanently removed during the surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Gary Linkov’s YouTube channel for more specifics about the surgery. Heroin Chic also took place in the 1990’s, thanks to all who pointed this out ❤

  6. I agree that many women have internalized beauty ideals that have been deemed to be palatable for the male gaze and project it onto other women. Most men, if given the choice between dating someone who looks like Kim K or dating someone who is a size 14 (the average women’s size in the U.S) or up would go for a Kim K type, particularly White men. Even men who are “average” or even below average on the male beauty scale can still couple with above average looking women, because women are actually less picky about looks and tend to be more concerned with the financial status of a man due to the internalized patriarchal belief that men are supposed to be providers. Conversely patriarchal beliefs ingrain in men that women are to be looked at as viable sexual partners. Many men also seek to elevate their own social status by obtaining a “hot wife” or “hot girlfriend” so men often choose women who are closer to thinness due to the politics of desirability.

  7. Thank you for pointing this out! Like I said, I’m not entirely sure how the bbl surgery works, I just noticed a significant reduction in the size of their butts, so good to have this additional insight 🙂

  9. Hi, I was not bashing thin people. I was stating that being too thin can be just as dangerous as being “too fat” due to the number of health risks associated with being too thin, but many people do not care about the dangerous measures that some people take to achieve thinness so long as attractiveness is the end result. The point of this video was not to shame people who are naturally thin but to point out why making thinness the ultimate beauty standard leads to those who are not naturally thin (the vast majority of women) seeking out unhealthy dangerous methods to achieve this beauty standard. Critiquing is not bashing, especially when the group you’re critiquing is incredibly privileged and the beauty ideal. Thank you for watching!

  13. Thanks for watching and glad we are on the same page ❤ I’m going to continue to support her because while I may not agree with her image, I recognize that Black women are doing what they can to be successful in an industry led by men (record label execs, producers etc) who dictate this hypersexual imagery. I don’t think that Chloe is a bad person, I just think that she’s young and naive and desperate for fame. She is still talented and I hope that with all the commentary that has been offered by me and others alike, she can shift her image. That being said, I will more so being supporting the Black women who are not hypersexual and haven’t yet been given a chance to thrive in the mainstream as well!

  22. Thanks for watching! ❤️ I want to point out that I was stating my opinion, not speaking for all women. Secondly I don’t want to conflate gender with sexuality. Yes women are an oppressed gender but sexuality-wise, I identify as heterosexual and I do not face the same oppression around my sexuality that someone who is LGBTQIA+ does, so I must restate that in my opinion as I stated in the video my sexuality does not empower me. I still believe that women should have the autonomy do they what they want with their bodies, but there shouldn’t be one homogenous identity for women’s sexualities.

  31. padmere Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your opinion. I have to say I honestly have no interest in watching something that repeats a narrative that we have seen over and over again on mainstream television and in all of Mr Barris’ shows, regardless of whether it is autobiographical.

  32. That is the biggest compliment, thank you! 🥹❤️

  35. I agree, it’s definitely not up to me to say what is or isn’t empowering to other women. I was simply saying that all women should not be expected to publicize their sexuality in order to feel empowered. Sure, women can certainly think for themselves, but when you are a young girl or woman and your brain is not fully developed (for women that does not happen until age 24), and you see that all popular Black women in the music industry are hyper sexualized, it is by all means going to influence you and the way that you view your body. We are all influenced by the media we consume, whether we realize it or not. I do not operate from a place of binary thinking so sexuality is neither good nor bad (there can be good aspects and bad aspects all at once), but decades of research has shown that there are a multitude of negative effects that incessant displays of sexualized imagery has on young women and girls. I implore you to look into some of those studies as well as personal anecdotes from young women and girls who develop body image issues and self-objectification due to media exposure. I made this video to express my opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours! Thank you for watching ❤️.

  36. Haha! The Monique clip was PERFECT for this video! Thank you for subscribing and welcome ❤️ Beyoncé is a great example of a Black woman who is allowed to do both! Jaguar Wright was the woman talking, I do t agree with her on everything but on this topic she was spot on! If you search “Jaguar Wright + female rap” you should find the clip 😉

  37. Omg what! At a school recital? Oh hell no that is just gross and inappropriate as it gets. All I can say is I’m happy we learned and now know better.

  43. pink1237480 I’ve never seen Power but it is not a mainstream television show accesible the average viewing public as it is on a Premium cable network. And funny enough that you mention the dark skin female lead because while I haven’t seen the show I have seen 50 Cent, the shows creator or executive producer (again never seen the show not sure of his title) post a photo comparing Naturi Nauton to an animal/male creature from some sort of cartoon on his social media which is one of the oldest colorist tropes comparing black dark skin women to animals and men. Anyways there is NOTHING “horrible” about light skin people “succeeding.” I’m not sure if you watched the whole vid where I said light skin people’s experiences are valid and their stories deserve to be heard but when it is the ONLY voice being heard on every major television show and dark skin voices are not, that is the problem. Maybe your life experiences make you believe dark skin people are “privileged” as a light skin person but that is absolutely unfathomable and a gross misrepresentation of the lived experiences of dark skin people at large globally. And I say that as someone who is neither dark nor light. I strongly recommend you listen to the stories of dark skin (especially women) people to learn of the horrors they face both inside the black community and in white spaces. Your statement that dark skin people are privileged demonstrates a deep rooted lack of understanding of their lived experiences and the only how you can learn is to listen to UNDERSTAND not to respond. I don’t mean to undermine your experiences with racism because they are VALID. Being lighter skin does NOT make you impervious to racism. But I implore you to listen to dark skin people’s stories and educate yourself on skin color privilege. I wish I alone could educate you, but there are better resources that can guide you if you are willing to learn. Now more than ever, our communities need to be doing the work to improve every facet of our livelihood as Black folks. I wish you the best of everything and respect your opinion and thank you for sharing it with me ❤️

  44. I’m not sure what procedures Kate has gotten done but I wasn’t saying that she has gotten the bucal fat surgery, just pointing out that the heroin chic look has made a comeback and that speaks to how beauty trends are ever-changing 🙂

  70. Ms R thanks for your feedback but I have to strongly disagree. You literally just said that biracial people come in all different shades, so why weren’t there a myriad of biracial actors of darker complexions on the show instead of predominantly lighter skinned ones by that logic? The only people who would be “offended” by darker skinned people being cast are racists and colorists. And moreover and I’m sorry to be blunt, but whether the show is autobiographical is irrelevant. People are upset about the lack of representation and whether the show is about his life or not, it repeats the same narrative of Mr. Barris’ fictional shows and adds nothing new to the portrayal of blackness on mainstream television. One thing I do agree with you about is not watching the show and the aforementioned reasons are exactly why I am choosing not to. But people have every right to be offended by the premise of the show and to voice their concerns about why they are offended because we live in a country built on free speech. Thanks again for your feedback, always appreciate an intelligent debate!

  78. See this is what I’m talking about! Fat shaming affects your ability to be in your relationship and seek social mobility through marriage and it’s awful! I’m so sorry that you are going through this but that man was never worthy of you! Embrace who you are and don’t rush to lose weight to please a man! When you embrace your true self, the right man will attract to you. Sending love ❤️
