okay but the article is seriously mis-titled and it also kind of… misses its focus?? yes, the beauty culture in south korea is insane, but the beauty culture isn’t one only or even main thing these women are so pissed off about…
south korean women are not doing this only as a backlash against the beauty industry/standards, they’re doing it as a much larger female liberation movement that was mainly spurred by rampant video-recording of women in restrooms for pornography and unaddressed sexual assault. they’re rebelling against what the patriarchy demands from them (socially-mandated ”traditionally feminine” looks such as long hair, makeup, etc) to point out that they don’t exist to be desirable. it’s not just because they all suddenly woke up one day and realized the makeup industry is bullshit (though it is).
and like, even though that’s the main reason, you still have to scroll down multiple paragraphs to get to the article even mentioning it?? and the article only TOUCHES on what’s really going on in these women’s minds. like i get that it’s easier and more consumer-friendly to talk about the evils of south korean makeup culture, but maybe focus a little bit more on the bigger issue these women are pointing out…
not to nitpick, it’s still an alright article. but the article makes it sound like this is a passive, peaceful protest and these women are happily out living their best lives right now. they aren’t, and their defiance has been met with very harsh reactions (assault, etc). these women are still spitting furious about a much realer problem than just unrealistic beauty standards, and their very reasonable demands are still not being addressed.
word of advice to the minors following me, don’t EVER lie about your age to get onto an adult server. It’s incredibly damaging to both you and the people you’ve lied to. If you made someone believe you’re an adult, and they talk to you about explicit/inappropriate topics or share nsfw art, they’ve committed a felony without even knowing it. It’s very serious. Just wait until you’re actually 18.
There are some signs that tell/warn you that you are mentally exhausted or drained.
1. Irritation.
You feel irritated rather quickly by minor things. The whole day you feel hopeless and you know you should do the best out of it. But you can‘t and that is frustrating. Instead of worrying take those „time outs“ to work on yourself, to make you feel better.
2. Low Motivation.
You can‘t bring yourself to do anything. But don‘t push yourself. Lay back and get on your right track before you overwork yourself.
3. Anxiety Attacks.
They happen more frequently and more random. The stress is overpowering you. Lay back and tend to your wounds. Find out what you need.
4. Sleeping Troubles.
Just because you are exhausted, doesn‘t meed your mind won‘t race the entire night preventing you from getting an healthy amount of sleep.
5. Upset.
Because of your low energy and your hightened sensitivity, you get upset my minor things rather quickly. It actually brings tears to your eyes. Don’t let yourself suffer.
6. Nausea.
You feel dizzy and nauseous almost all the time. You lack concentration and can’t eat, because everything tastes the same.
7. Crying.
You feel like crying all the time. You are oversensitive and you feel like the whole word is plotting against you. And your body only knows one thing of cleansing: crying.
8. Detachement.
You start to feel „comfortable numb“, meaning you stop feeling at all. You just pass by, nothing has an effect on you anymore.
As soon as you notice those signs, take some time off for self healing. Don’t go numb!
full offense but we seriously need to destroy the shitty toxic gamer culture that involves getting mad at newbie players for fucking existing.
like im sorry but shitting on noobs is fucking low ball and pathetic. Im so fucking sorry someone is more capable of having fun trying out a new game then you are mr edgelord
“lmao noobs should stop-” Maybe YOU should stop acting like your king of whatever game your playing get over youself and let other people have fun too
Youre not a fucking pro stop trying to act like you are just cause someone else is new to the game you play.
Have I watched the movie in the last decade or more? No. Do I have iron clad evidence to support my argument? Yes.
1. She’s the most knowledgeable about candy. She’s committed to it, and knows her stuff. When Wonka holds up a little yellow piece across the room, she recognizes it immediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal oriented. Also, two major projects play directly into her strong suits: the 3-course-meal gum that Wonka failed to make safe (gum) and the neverending gobstopper (longevity).
2. She’s the most fit to run a business. Violet is competitive, determined, hard working, and willing to take risks. Her father is a small town car salesman and politician, so she could easily pick up knowledge and support from him. (Veruca’s dad is also a business man, and in a compatible market (nuts), but it’s made very clear that Veruca has no respect or knowledge of business practices or hard work.)
3. She’s the most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas. She critiques Veruca when Veruca demands to buy one. More importantly, Wonka has been testing the 3-course-meal gum that ‘always goes wrong’ on Oompa Loompas while he presumably just watches. Violet is ready to put herself on the front line, instead of treating the Oompa Loompas as disposable, and would therefore be a better boss.
4. Her personality ‘flaw’ is the most fitting for the company. In the moralizing Oompa Loompa song, they just say ‘gum is pretty cool, but it’s not socially acceptable to chew it all day‘. The thing is, we already know that she can stop if she wants, because she already did that to win the golden ticket. And yeah, she is defensive about the perceived impoliteness of her hobby (like when her mother tries to shame her about her habit during a televised interview) but the obsession with candy and neglect of social norms is EXACTLY what Wonka is all about. This is on brand.
5. Her misstep in the factory is reasonable. Wonka shows everyone a candy he’s very proud of. Violet is like “oh sick, that’s gum, my special interest.” Wonka is then pulls a “WRONG! It’s amazing gum!” So in the very moments before she takes the gum Wonka has mislead her just to belittle her. So when he’s like “I wouldn’t do that” why should she give a shit what he has to say? She’s not like Charlie over here who’s all “Sure Gramps, let’s stay behind while the tour leaves and secretly drink this thing that has been explicitly stated to fill you with gas and is too powerful for safe consumption, oh and also I just saw what happened to Violet so I actually KNOW what this stuff can be capable of” Also, Violet is not selfish about her experience, she tells everyone what she’s tasting and feeling, and everyone is eager to hear it. Taking a personal risk to share knowledge with everyone. Violet is Prometheus: fact.
So Augustus contaminates the chocolate river. Charlie sneaks around and contaminates the vent walls. Veruca destroys and disrupts the workspace. Mike knows exactly what will happen to him and transports/shrinks himself deliberately. Violet had no idea what the gum could potentially do to her, and caused no harm to anyone or anything but herself.
Lastly: Can you imagine Charlie filling Wonka’s shoes? That passive, naive boy? Violet is already basically Wonka. She’s passionate, sarcastic, candy-obsessed, free thinking, and a total firecracker. She’s even better than Wonka, because she doesn’t endanger others.
Violet should’ve been picked to inherit the chocolate factory.
