It’s so old fashioned. Even my mum complained about older people doing it to her when she was young. We must invent a new excuse for the same lament every generation 😂 Aren’t we supposed to be working towards a better future for everyone? Shouldn’t the fact that some of the next generation don’t have some of the burdens of the previous be a GOOD thing? Oh, Society!
People have this idea in their head that only shein and Forever 21 are fast fashion. When I tell you almost all popular clothing brands RUN on fast fashion that’s no understatement. People critique others for wearing fast fashion when they usually are wearing it themselves.
Yes this! not to mention that many brands that claim to be ethically sourced are extremely expensive and not everyone has the privilege of being able to afford that. I think realistically, we should preach to just buy LESS and buy clothing that you really need and will wear instead of disposable clothing that will be worn once or twice.
the main problem i have with insanely cheap places like shein and forever 21 is that the low prices encourage overconsumption..... for example i always see people on tiktok doing massive shein hauls with like hundreds of items, which they could afford because their prices are so low. the issue with this is that those clothes are really only made to last about a year, so most of those items will end up in a landfill somewhere not too far in the future.
Overconsumption is the main issue! Buying what you need from fast fashion is ok, whatever. But because it’s cheap and they’re bored, people buy a ton of stuff they don’t love or won’t use and end up throwing away. If it’s fast fashion but you genuinely get a lot of use out of it that’s nowhere near as bad as mindless purchases.
@@ItBeThatWaySometimes I am transferring to university soon. I did not go to college straight out of high school. I took a class here and there at a community college but mostly worked and lived at home. I worked as a cook so I started at 11 dollars and have earned more after a few years, but even saving most of my paycheck it will not cover my tuition for more than a year at university. It costs an arm and a leg to afford even a bachelors, so it looks like I will need to borrow some money for school once I transfer. I am glad you do not have student debt, but like you said you struggled by having to work constantly. The people I have known that work full-time and go to school full-time struggle a lot.
@@borkbork4124 I know this is terrible (= it won't solve a structural problem), but have you seen the option of studying in Germany? They have universal tuitition free university for bachelors, and programs in english. Of course you have to pay for tickets, and stuff, but people from the US go to study there because of the quality of the education and the fact that it is cheaper.
There’s always someone that bitter!! Here in Portugal we have a whole topic about abolishing tuitions and there’s always some elitist piece of sh!t saying “tHeN EVERYONE cOuLd GeT iNtO cOlLeGe” Like yeah... that’s the point
@@PedroMiguelSantos also: with robotics advancing at the rate it is, in a couple of years all those "minimum wage" jobs will be occupied by them, meaning that non-educated people will end up on the streets or under the state care through social programs. Giving superior education to everyone now is the most logical step in a long term economic plan.
@@ItBeThatWaySometimes I never got that mentality either I didn't get to work that young because I was trying to focus on my senior year in hs so I can graduate on time only to not graduate on time had to take a half a year of school again to graduate upon being pregnant yes I felt miserable but I didn't make my peers around me miserable so they can be miserable with me if anything I just faked it until I made it lol
The way women’s bodies go in and out of style like a trend🙄 I was called thunder thighs in middle school and now people always say they wish they had my legs. Like too late I’m super self conscious about them now don’t talk about them
Oh my gosh yes! I was teased for my large thighs and hips because back in the late 90s/early 2000s you were supposed to be stick thin. Now my hips are admired but those comments ruined my relationship with my body for at least decade.
the 'being a vegan vs shopping fast fashion' question always makes me think like...what's a better use of $150? a few weeks' worth of vegan groceries, or one pair of pants from universal standard?
i also hate that mindset because i've gotten comments about fast fashion that i bought before i went vegan and has somehow lasted five or so years and i'm always just like... you want people to start throwing clothes away for no reason other than to protest a company that is not going to shed one tear about (or even notice!) their clothes going in the dumpster? that sounds super productive for the environment /s
@@sydney.mp4 definitely this! Getting rid of clothes you already had isn’t helping anybody, or taking any money away from the company that already got their cash years ago from the original sale. Also goes for thrifted clothing! Brands see absolutely zero revenue from that and it’s still an ethical choice, yet people will judge anyway
I believe a big problem with the vegan influencers using fast fashion is that most of those influencers are white and how it shows that they believe that animals are more important than POC. I agree that any small change you can make the world better is important but the all mighty attitude they take on without looking into their privilege is a big problem. I hope this makes sense. My unpopular opinion is that I hate the “cruelty free” unfortunately 99% of the food we consume is done so with so much abuse and cruelty.
@@mariasandoval3506 completely agree with how the youtube vegan influencers portray themselves. But I think it's also important to recognize how many people are abused in the animal agriculture industry. The working conditions on factory farms are dangerous and the workers are forced to torture animals as they scream. It's not just animals who are abused in that industry. I'm not sure of the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if POC are overrepresented in that workforce.
“professionalism” seems like a scam. why do i have to be an employee 24/7 when i don’t even get paid enough to survive? so what if i post naked pictures/have tattoos/ etc. it also disproportionately affects poc
THIS! Why the hell does it matter what you do in your free time? Like maybe if the first job you have paid you enough, you wouldn’t have to look for other avenues in the first place 🙄 but regardless, it shouldn’t matter what you do when you’re not on the clock/on the premises
The problem is that blackmail exists and if you aren't careful one of the people paying for your nudes can screenshot it and share it. I had personally faced this where I was blackmailed to pay a certain amount or they would post links to my nudes all over the place. I didn't pay and they posted the links all over my instagram. Took a while for me to get it removed and honestly it was nerve wrecking. Basically I didn't want it to be shared like that. I didn't want friends and family to see me like that. Basically if they knew where I worked my boss and coworkers could have seen it because in general people are assholes. Not everyone paying for your onlyfans will respect you, they won't have the best intentions and some may use this against you to get something out of you. These are the risks you will need to worry about. There is no such thing as safe in onlyfans.
@@a.nn.a2098 I am saying instead of sexualizing our bodies in ways that triggers past trauma we should view the body in a nonsexual light. In our world sex sells, which is a problem considering that we lack proper sexual education and wouldn't need to use porn and sexual images as a form of sexual education. We could of normalized female sexuality long ago had we been given a proper sexual education along with resources to help us in areas that are in desperate need of attention. Yes it is hard to make a living but onlyfans is basically a pyramid scheme that relies on your marketing skills started by a corporation that profits off your body. Which in itself is also a scam. The fact that inflation has imparted you in ways to be unable to scrape by is evidence of the government failing you at an economic standpoint. If we fix the economy and improve our country with education and health we wouldn't need onlyfans.
PREACH. people need to quit it with judging ppl who are not privileged to shop and eat and take care of themselves “ethically”. stop 👏 shaming 👏 poor 👏 people 👏 just 👏 for 👏 merely 👏 existing
YES! Being able to shop wherever you want and buy whatever you want is a privilege. Both on the side of money and body. I’m not rich by any means but I have the money to splurge and buy something really nice for myself every now and then, however I’m more on the bigger size so a lot of the time those places I want to splurge at don’t have my size, so when I want clothes I usually have to go down the cheaper and less ethical route just to merely find clothes to fit. It’s hard, we all struggle, we just need to accept that sometimes other people struggle more and have to do less ethical things just to make ends meet.
Also as a poor college student I’ve lived a WAY more ethical and sustainable life, amen for thrift stores man. I feel like the poor are probably doing better, environmentally speaking, and the rich with their huge houses and six boats might be the real fuckin isssue here.
Hannah: “I have large hips.” Me: She HAS a body??? All this time it literally never occurred to me that she existed below her chest!! I know....I’ll see myself out.....
When talking about ethical shopping, eating “clean”, or being more echo friendly, I always think of a TH-camr named Shelbi (her channel is Shelbizlee). She always says, You can’t do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good you can do. It makes me feel better remembering this when I’m feeling guilty about certain impacts I have on the environment
On the topic of IVF I had a friend recently talk about how her and her husband are doing IVF but not because of infertility. My friend recently lost her mother to ALS and it was devastating for her. She then got tested and found out she is a gene carrier. Through IVF they would be able to get pregnant without passing that gene onto her child. Just wanted to make people aware that there are other reasons for IVF
That's amazing to hear😢 I had a boyfriend who's dad passed from it. It was devastating. It's so awesome they've found at least some way to help prevent this terrifying thing from happening. That's very cool
yours is one of the only youtube comments sections I can scroll through happily without losing my faith in humanity sounds like a weird compliment but I promise it's a big one!
As someone that has paid tens of thousands of dollars in student loans (and am still paying), I would like nothing more than to save someone from the crushing dread of knowing your student loans are due once you graduate.
James Charles lost all my respect when he was called out for his never ending collabs during a PANDEMIC and basically explained himself by his crew getting tested "every week" cause there are "millions of tests available". Like, no, you can't say that bs to your young audience and think that's ok. He is old enough to understand how wrong it is. I'm sorry but I'll never support him after that. (not saying he deserves any of the hate of course, I just personally won't watch him again)
James Charles is very shady, idc. I dont think he is mature at all. Yes, he's 21 but he should know better. A lot of people are in college and paying bills at 21, js.
In his defense, there are millions of tests available for people deemed "famous" or rich. They can get them whenever they want, it's a false reality considering the majority have to fight to get a test and even then, many are turned away.
Nudity should never be used as a weapon. I completely agree! Taking a naked photo doesn’t make you any less qualified to do anything professionally. I personally think that people who try to use those things against others are just bitter, jealous humans. Awesome video Hannah! Sending you love.❤️❤️❤️
not to mention those same docs and nurses went through hundreds of thousands of dollars of schooling to get to where they are. while some pretty girls on tiktok who have hardly even graduated high school can make more then them. its sad
Yes!!! Me and my hubby were just talking about this! He said that if doctors would record their surgeries and appt's....they would get paid more. Makes sense, unfortunately. It's a shame!!! Not even in the same class..ya know?
Ethically yes but speaking of the real world, they make money from promoting things for companies so they need to be paid an amount that makes up for it
i heavily agree with you, but truth be told, their popularity was uncalled for, even for them. like, most of these tiktokers didn't even expect to get popular. it's kinda our fault for making them popular, and thier popularity is something they cannot control. but, of course, they should understand the extent of thier reach, and use thier popularity responsibly and properly.
On the adoption front. There is actually a strong part of the adoptee community that believes the way to fix the “so many children without a home” problem isn’t more adoption but actually better social programs so that the children’s can stay in there home In The first place. If you want to look into it more. An adoptee activist has this great podcast about it called the adoptee next door. Totally suggest.
yes! My best friend was removed from her family due to both her parents having disabilities that limited the hours they could work, which caused them to become homeless, and she was put into a foster home. She talks a lot about how it made no sense to her to take her from a loving family that couldn't afford to make ends meet just to then pay foster parents to take care of her when that money could have gone to her birth family in the first place.
I was just about to comment the same thing! I took a class on adoption issues last year and it very much is not a system that should be as widely encouraged as a fertility solution as it is, especially when it comes to international adoption systems!
Also, so many kids linger in foster care while the courts try to get some parents to straighten out. A family member tried to adopt a little boy instead the poor kid ended up bouncing his whole life from 18 months to 18 from 1 foster family to his parents back to another foster family. This is horrible!
On the wedding dances, I’m a wedding photographer and VERY RARELY will couples dance for the whole song, usually they dance for about a minute and a half, then split off to get their parents for f/d and s/m dance for 30 seconds, then the bridal party joins for the last chorus and rest of the song :) hope that helps!!
That’s my experience too. The wedding couple lead off their wedding dance, everyone has a moment to fully project their love and support to the couple, then organically everyone starts to join in and dance in participation of that moment together. Often kids will be the signal. It’s a beautiful thing 💜
We didn't do a first dance because enough people had been staring at us all day lmao. It's just another time killer at the wedding so people can get drunk.
That’s been my experience as well! The only times where it hasn’t been like that if either a shorter song or heavily rehearsed (I had an amazing couple do a rendition of still alive), or something like fireworks happen at the end- so unless it’s communicated, the bridal party will absolutely join in!
"don't have sex if you're not ready to take responsibility for a baby" is such a juvenile and infuriating take. are you really going to tell people who are married or have been in a committed relationship for a long time that they need to abstain from sex for their entire lives if they don't want a child? really?
I took the “we need to stop normalizing onlyfans” response in a different way! If it’s towards people of age, I disagree, HOWEVER, I’ve been seeing so many people normalizing MINORS to having an onlyfans! This is especially common on tiktok and it’s so incredibly gross considering these adults are grooming minors into s*x work the second they turn 18.
I was going to comment this. On tiktok, it's glorified into something it's not, made out to be easy money when I actually hear a lot of the opposite. I've heard stories about it taking a huge mental toll and causing trauma when young girls go into it having unrealistic expectations and then end up regretting doing it in the first place
i totally agree, it's like encouraging young people and making it sound empowering when really it's not. It's also just like incredibly dangerous as a profession so encouraging kids is putting them into these dangerous situations
your rant about birth control, thank you. yeah that person is so wrong. i am not ready to handle the responsibility of a child but at almost 29 years old, i am still going to have sex with my husband. that mindset is so flawed.
It's like people refuse to accept that sex is a normal thing. Sex is pretty integral when it comes to relationships, for more than just "that feels good". Being abstinent until you decide you are ready for a baby just does not work in our society
Also people don't have sex just to have kids, by that logic a couple that had two children and decided they don't want any more should never have sex again.
I genuinely despise things like *thinspo*. It’s so harmful and just makes people feel inadequate. Please remember to love yourself and love your body, even if it’s not how you want it to look right now. Don’t be so hard on yourselves ❤️
I have an ED and my tumblr to this day is fullllllll of thinspo, and I feel like people bring attention to how damaging that is, but in this day and age I get BULLIED for being as thin as I am. I feel like thinspo has changed. Now it’s thinner thighs, big butt, zero waist, huge boobs hourglass ass bitch and I literally feel so inadequate now
@@emmyjulianne6850 its really awful that pretty much every bodytype is discriminated against and just leads to so many people feeling inadequate. I hope you’re doing alright. Please remember to take care of yourself ok? ❤️
@@Maizie_Alice you’re absolutely right and that’s why I advocate for mind your own body business! And yes thank you I appreciate that so much! I haven’t been able to have health insurance for a long time bc America, but I’m honestly quarantine has motivated me so much once I started school again. I hope you’re doing well! And staying safe during this winter storm!
I can relate, I don’t have hips but I have big muscular thighs and inverted hips so I’ll never ever have that “thigh gap“ that people called goals back in like 2015. I remember trying so hard in high school to lose weight so that my legs would be smaller because I was embarrassed of my thighs. I’ve finally come to terms with this and am comfortable with how I look. Now it’s like a trend to have muscular thighs and it just irritates me how we make body types a trend.
Yes - I remember I would force my walk to change so I could achieve the thigh gap while walking. I remember I was told I would “waddle” due to this, but I was so uncomfortable with my thighs touching, I wouldn’t care. Looking back I can see how ridiculous that was.
i feel you on the big thigh thing. i can weight 90 pounds and i'll never naturally have a thigh gap, it's just how my body is. i used to starve myself and cry because i wanted one so bad. fcking tumblr
"Don't have sex if you don't want a baby" let me just tell my husband of 5 years that we can no longer have sex because someone online can't use logic 🙃
SO true about the adoption point. As you said, begrudgingly adopting a kid when you wanted to have one of your own is uh... maybe not a nice position for a child to grow up in.
Not wanting peoples student loans to be forgiven is the same as saying "oh my childhood wasnt good so yours shouldn't be either" and you abuse your child because you dont want them to have what you didnt have.
@@chloestevens2389 anecdotal evidence here, but I've already paid back over half of the initial amount I took out in loans, but due to interest v. the amount I've been able to pay per month, my current calculation is that I will end up paying back about twice the initial amount I borrowed. (This is even after refinancing.) Having worked in financial aid, I can confidently say that I feel the student loan game (both federal and private) is predatory and the "counseling" offered is inadequate for young borrowers and their families. I'm not going to argue "life isn't fair," but I'd encourage considering that none of us asked to be part of this unfair life. People who have borrowed loans to get an education are trying to improve their circumstance compared to others who got "luckier," and even people who are paying back their loans are negatively impacted by the current system. Life might not be fair, inherently, but our education system is changeable. It does not have to remain unfair.
@@chloestevens2389 If you are able to achieve the education, career, and survival plan you want without taking out loans, kudos. That is great for you. I do believe that a 4 year college education should be free in America, one of the wealthiest nations in the world. If we are able to finally evolve our for profit education system and accomplish that, I do not believe we should 'go back to paying after that.' The interest I have paid could have paid for the education for at least one other person, but instead, it is trickled up to some of the wealthiest people in the country... who get exponentially wealthier. The circuitous system that punishes people for being born into poverty, then punishes them for attempting to escape poverty, and then punishes them for being unable to live in poverty is built largely out of our education system. It's well overdue for a remodel.
I've thought of so many examples similar to this point about student debt that make me think what a ridiculous take this actually is. It's like women from the past saying that they didn't get to vote so neither should we now. Or black people from the past saying that they couldn't sit at the front of the bus or go to a white school or eat in certain restaurants or use certain bathrooms or fountains (or literally anything to do with slavery/discrimination) so the next generations shouldn't get to. Or gay people saying that they weren't allowed to get married when they wanted to so future couples shouldn't get to either. Literally any single form of advancement where future generations are given the privilege of something that past generations had to suffer through would be an equivalent example to this ridiculous "I had to suffer so you should too" take. Like....what???
I was not into mint at all when I was younger, I didn't understand why anyone would want something flavored like toothpaste and then I hit my late 20s. I have no idea what happened but overnight mint choc chip was suddenly my favorite ice cream flavor and I've never looked back.
I agree that adoption isn’t for everyone, but so is parenting in general and I wish the society would normalize it, instead of pressuring people to become parents because it’s seen as a default.
I just want to comment on the no sex = safe sex opinion. Even when you use any form of birth control CORRECTLY, it can still fail. Hence why women having a choice in proceeding with pregnancy or not is SO important! Just needed to say that.
I feel like with the adoption thing people forget that in lots of places suragacy and ivf are the only options for people in same sex relationships. In most of the world gay couples are still not allowed to adopt
Re: veganism: my take is that vegans who refuse to eat honey and use agave instead are actually doing so much more damage and clearly have no understanding of how beekeeping works. The same could be said of eggs and wool.
as a vegan, agree about honey and wool but the issue with eggs is different, there's a lot more animal harm in the egg industry than in wool and honey harvesting
@@mollyoirsghois Then that's why its important to shop local. Find a local egg farmer where you can see how the animals are looked after. You'll also be helping the local economy.
99.99% of people won't be able to only use the eggs that their own hens lay in their garden. It's a fallacy. Look at Earthling Ed's video about farming eggs.
Your OnlyFans take was an interesting one, I hadn't thought about it before. I don't like the glamorization of the app (and sex work in general) especially to young people via social media because it's a tough job and I don't think enough people are talking about the negative aspects related to it (also, I get that teens often gloss over the less fun side of a lot of things in life lol I just wish there was a way to efficiently let them know the job isn't for everyone and they should never feel pressured by their peers or the media to follow that path). This was an interesting perspective, I really appreciated your input!
This isn’t criticism toward you, but I want to touch on something that gets said a lot and you’re the first comment that I saw that mentioned sex work, so please don’t take this to heart or be offended! While I agree that there is glamorizations of sex work I feel like this comes from b-list celebs and you tubers/influencers. If you ask any sex worker who’s been in the business for more than a week they’ll tell you that it’s a hard job and it’s not as fun as it seems. We (sex workers) want to be able to talk honest and openly about the negative side of the business but often get shut down by influencers who talk about how easy it is for them. A majority of the danger and problems sex workers face comes from the social stigma and the fact that it’s criminalized. If governments gave a major overall of the laws surrounding sex work it would make it safer for the public and sex workers which in turn would reduce the negative side of the business!
@@ThePokemonlover1231 Yes, I completely agree with you! That's why I worry about what young people think sex work is all about, because they're getting their information via tik tok or twitter where the Tana Mongooses and Bella Thornes of the internet have become the most prominent voices on the matter, and not the actual people whose lives depend on the job and have endured a lot to be able to perform it safely.
A phrase I like better than there is no ethical consumption is “there is no ethical production under capitalism” bc it put the onus (idk how to spell it) on the people producing the products, there is more ethical products but it still isn’t ethical
I'd like to add to the topic of not wishing to be vaccinated: the history of black people being medically experimented on (for instance, the syphilis thing). I'm not black so I can't personally relate (and I have, myself, been vaccinated) and I don't want to speak for everyone that is black, but I have heard for some black people the idea of trying a new vaccine is terrifying to them and can bring up trauma. You can find tons of stuff by googling “history of black abuse in medicine”
I've read that there is a lot of mistrust in medicine in the black community and that's understandable, but hopefully the fact that the vaccine is being rolled out to everyone should count for something
Everything that you’ve stated has a lot of truth in it. It’s very hard to believe a 100% in medicine from my perspective of being a black woman. But I’m vaccinated and I plan on keeping it that way. I will admit that giving birth was very triggering as well for me.
Very fantastic point. The same can be said with the Jewish community, as well. As they were utilized to test pharmaceutical products via IG Farben during the Holocoust... and when the drug failed, they just dumped the body. So lots of trauma there too.
I think the max voting age is more of a “don’t order for the table if you are about to leave” but it would be a massive slap in the face for the people who have actively worked for years to get voting rights to get them cancelled bc they get to a certain age
@girl who loves mcdonald's the freedom and fundamental rights that belong to every person in the world from birth to death regardless of your race, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, religion, your views/opinions on things, etc.
@girl who loves mcdonald's I dunno where you’re getting free healthcare from but uh whatever. Is public elementary, middle, and high school not free education? 😂 Search up basic human rights and click on the first article you see.
@girl who loves mcdonald's um it’s not advice. It said that these are the basic human rights that are recognized around the world. Do you not have free education? Do you not have the right to democracy? Do you not have the right work? Are you not a subject of the law? .... among all the others that apply to our rights in the US. There is a reason the US is still in the UN; don’t stay ignorant.
Unpopular opinion: I hate seeing celebrities or anyone that is rich try to “spread awareness” for charities and it’s just them in some random country in Africa that they probably couldn’t name. Not only is it very tone deaf and plays into the white saviour narrative, it also annoys me that celebrities are telling us common folk to donate. Like charity is good and all but st the end of the day the person saying it could have wayyy more of an impact if they gave up some of their MILLIONS instead of telling people that will never see a million to give. Also the whole plastic thing shouldn’t have been so focused on the consumers but on companies that mass produce it. I don’t use plastic straws and try to reuse bags and plastic bottles but if they’re still being mass produced and there has not been a drive or even a desire for an alternative what’s the point? These companies are greedy and don’t really want to change but at the same time they’re the billion dollar corporations that should have been cracked down on
In general, “we” don’t have the mental health and parenting support classes, trauma informed care training for people to adopt children. It’s not as easy as going and “picking” out a child that people think it is.
Teen mom here: I got pregnant while on chemo and BC at 14 and gave birth at 15. Thank fuck for the internet but also family who also were teen moms. I can say for a fact the amount of shit I’ve been told as a teen mom is so annoying. I did everything “right” and still got pregnant. To be fair she saved my life and made my entire life better. She turns 10 this year and I’m so proud of her.
I wouldn’t say that I disagree with the points you brought up about Onlyfans, but as someone who recently turned 18, I do believe that in some spaces there is a weird, not conditioning but there is a noticeable wave of people introducing and pushing the idea of OF and sex work to minors. I remember people both online and in my real life asking if I was gonna start an OF, because I will be “legal” and that I can make “good quick cash” by “taking advantage” of people’s carnal deaire. I think that mindset is dangerous to push onto youth. I was considering it for quite a while, honestly, and I really had to do some introspection into thinking, is this what I wanna do? Or is this what people around me are convincing me I should be doing? Would this be liberating to me because it is to others? Personally for me, it isn’t, but it’s strange that I had so many people telling me this is something that I need to do to be a “liberated woman” when I don’t even- identify as a woman. ***edit: I don’t believe that sw and having an of can’t be liberating, and I’m sorry if I came accross that way. My intention was just to share how the pressure to do such things was something very strange to me. I also come from the Tiktok+cosplay communities which influences my experiences with this issue greatly.
It's a little sus to me as well b/c OnlyFans operates in a pyramid scheme structure. Influencers have referral codes that allow them to profit off of those that they recruit underneath them. It feels like some of these OF influencers are targeting young people who are more likely to sign up without thinking of the long-term consequences (and thus profiting off of their naivete).
I absolutely hate that people said that to you omg 😲 I'm so sorry u had to go through that. I'll never understand the sentiment of it being empowering.. I feel like it's just furthering to normalize the objectification of women's bodies and that womens main purpose is for sex. I think ladies should be trying to better themselves creatively and academically to do the jobs that men once said we can't do. That is what is really impowering!! (In my eyes.. I know this is an unpopular opinion)
This!!! Only Fans is something that is not for everyone as well, I had a similar experience when I turned 18, and ended up going through with working in that type of field and it just didn't work for me. And not in the sense that I wasn't making money by doing it but I lost a deep part of myself during that time and mentally It wasn't something I could handle. There are people though who thrive in that environment and it makes them feel empowered and in control of themselves, but it certainly shouldn't be pushed out as a way to go for everyone. It may not seem like it, but it's a lot of work and it takes a lot of effort- it's not an easy out it's very emotionally and physically draining.
Also, OF is a lot more than just posting naked photos. A lot of people end up regretting doing this kind of shit but it's online forever. And unfortunately there is still a social stigma against sex work. Someone close to me lost their dream job over it, so dumb but that's just the way it is unfortunately. An employer can fire you over anything that they want to. Most people can't look at you the same afterwards.
I don’t know about the US but in the UK we have covid “bubbles” in which people who live alone are allowed to form a bubble with another household. Which basically translates to that one person can interact and visit the people in that household in person. But one household is only allowed to form one bubble. Really helps the loneliness and mental health of those who are alone in these times.
As someone who was born because of IVF, that unpopular opinion kinda made me really sad. IVF can be a long sad process just like Adoption. It’s not for everyone and I don’t think anyone should be judged for how they choose to become a parent. Whether it be through IVF/ Surrogacy or adoption, what works for some won’t work for others so no one should be judged for that.
"Surrogacy and IVF leave a bad taste in my mouth, given there are so many kids in need of a loving home". ...If you really care about the kids in need of a loving home, why are you specifically targeting prospective mothers who choose surrogacy or IVF? Why not ask the same question of all prospective mothers, regardless of how their child is conceived? Seems like whomever wrote this opinion has some internalized stigma going on, or is simply feigning concern about foster/homeless kids for the sake of presenting a "hot take"
I think it’s monetary reasons? People that are able to get pregnant on their own can have a wide range of income while those that go for IVF or surrogacy have to have the money to pay for it just like with adoption. I still disagree with the whole “bad taste” thing but i think this might be where they’re coming from
That person literally has no idea what they're talking about, and can fuck off for all I care. I used fertility treatments to get my son. Yeah, I'm not sure where that person's head was at saying that.
I wish with my whole heart that I could foster. It was my plan for life and I was getting ready to undergo the process of becoming a foster parent then found out I was pregnant with someone I barely knew and my life changed very quickly. I might consider it again when my kids are older and don’t cost me as much money and energy
THANK YOU. There's definitely something weird about that comment. If you're concerned, then ask that of everyone, not just people who need help conceiving.
My wife and I tried to adopt before and were turned down because they said we didn't have enough money. We had a beautiful little girl in 2015 which was a miracle (she was our 18th baby, but only survivor). We just found out that we are expecting again and my wife is scared. Each loss has taken a part of our souls and she almost died during our last one.
We will make sure to keep you all updated! Hannah, my wife loves you and never misses your videos! She almost cried when she saw the loving comments but especially seeing the heart from you! Thank you guys and she was talking about sending you messages to keep you updated (like sonograms and stuff) Hannah. Which account would be best for that? We hope you all stay safe and have happy days! I know you all have given us wonderfu
About the vegan and ethical consumption thing: I would say I agree except when someone is yelling at someone that they are not a good person for not making those decisions I would say that’s why veganism is thrown into the hypocrite category a lot is due to a select few vegans who scream from the top of their lungs that your a bad person if your not vegan and then give the community a bad name
This! As a vegan, I place more onus on capitalism and the corporations who perpetuate factory farming than individuals who are just trying to stay alive. I don't understand how someone can be vegan and continue to support capitalism, the ideology is inherently anti-capitalist.
came here to say this. I have NO problem with vegans living their lives in a way that this person said they are being "hypocrites", but the second they start belittling others for their life choices that include animal products as they carry around their iphones made with rare minerals mined by child slaves and built by underpaid/overworked laborers, THEN Imma have a problem. And I've said as much to people like that, as a plant based person myself. STFU and stop making us all look like assholes
I think for new vegans it’s really hard for them to understand when they’re being too much. For me, it was like I learned this crazy truth and I was so upset that I hadn’t come to the realization sooner, I wanted to “help” those around me (not to mention animal cruelty in the agg industry is infuriating when you learn about it) that I didn’t realize I was coming off as crazy until my fiancé told me so. I had to realize that I didn’t know this my whole life, and if someone was saying this crazy conspiracy-sounding thing to me, I would think they were nuts. I was NEVER mean to anyone, or called anyone names - I blame(d) corporations for lying and pushing false narratives, but bc I went through that, I try to have a bit more patience with others.
@@kconnorsd agreed. Or the “fruitarians” that make us look nuts hahaha. I’ve had people try to actually belittle me/call me names for being vegan and I’m just like hey man if your lifestyle isn’t any of my business, then mine isn’t any of yours. That usually shuts them up haha
Okay, vegetarian who focuses on ethical fashion here: i wanna push back on your take bc vegans who get sanctimonious about using animal products and encourage the use of things like faux leather and faux wool are literally encouraging people to wear plastics that shed into the environment and water and are a massive massive problem environmentally. Also supporting anything that is made with sweatshop labor while getting on your high horse about animal rights really unintentionally says “I think animals deserve more respect than some people!” Like, totally get if you can’t commit to ethical fashion for financial reasons or bc you haven’t found your personal taste yet, or you disagree with me abt micro plastics, but if you are sanctimonious or an influencer with regards to your veganism then openly buying fast fashion is a SUPER sketch and frankly hypocritical look to me.
One thing that really stood out to me about your response to the vegan/vegetarian and fast fashion thing is that it feels like it challenged assumptions about fashion and veg-ism. 1) It can be hard to shop more ethically if you are a bigger size (and yes, there are vegans or vegetarians that are bigger!). 2) Someone could purchase fast fashion because it fits their financial needs and that same person can be vegan or vegetarian because having that ethical lifestyle where food is a big part of it isn't necessarily expensive. So it's not just thin, wealthy people who are vegan or vegetarian choosing to be unethical in other parts of their life. That probably exists and I don't know if the person who submitted assumed that was the kind of person but your response had a nice myth-busting feel to it!
@@faithguitierez1900 i should have been more specific, i didn't even think of the school dances! lol but i agree, it is sad to have those when so many kids are missing a parent.
On the vaccines topic, in Poland where I'm from there is a list of mandatory vaccines (tuberculosis, whooping cough, polio, tetanus and few more). If you have a serious medical reaction to the vaccine, you are excused from all mandatory vaccination. Being brought up in this, it's super weird that fellow Western countries don't do that.
In order to enroll children in school, vaccines are required. There are exceptions for for those who have medical issues, but the vast majority of people were vaccinated as children. However, the religious exemption claims have been increasing.
Western countries are so behind on anything that would benefit its citizens. It’s really frustrating living in America and seeing all of these other countries with their accessible health care and education
Vaccines are not mandatory here because there are ways to get around them but I believe every child who can be vaccinated should be. You can obtain a medical exemption here in the US from a doctor if you have a legitimate medical condition that makes you unable to be vaccinated. However the religious exemptions are the problem because are lieing about their religion to get an exemption.
@@SamanthaD89 Even if they are not lying, and maybe I'm harsh, but please leave society if you want to endanger and hurt *me* by walking around possibly being superspreader. You're not gonna die if your beliefs are not respected, I might otherwise. Medical reasons are entirely different category - and her bodily autonomy arguments doesn't make much sense here, to me, because a. mandatory ≠ forced physically (there's fines, and exclusions from benefiting from society, daycare and school for example) b. it's not only your body* but mine too, not sure how the saying goes : your freedom to wave your arms stops in front of my nose? but something along those lines. (*born, sentient, unlike in abortion arguments)
Unpopular opinion: I don't want to see thousands of people commit suicide because of total isolation and I want people to stop getting on everyone else's case about seeing friends. I am single, I live alone, and if I didn't have work and spaces to walk outside I would be in such a terrible mental state.
Yes! Also, I have an almost 3 year old who was becoming terrified of everyone because she was only seeing my hubby and I. I had to to prioritize her mental and emotional growth so we have select playdates and I’ll never apologize for that
I took a class on sex and women in society and we took two weeks to discuss the porn industry. It made me cry because of how difficult the porn industry was on women and how it essentially promotes violence and the objectification of women, even though many people like to say that’s not the case. The article we read showed a huge correlation between violence against women and porn and so I think onlyfans is an incredible platform because it has allowed the women (and men) who participate to really benefit from the content they are making to the fullest extent while only pushing out whatever content they are fully comfortable with and it also normalizes women as being people who also enjoy sex because even still we are not supposed to enjoy sex as much as men. Personally I don’t have any OF and I don’t know if I ever will but I have such respect for the people who do and who are benefiting from an industry that was meant to put them down.
in Brazil legal voting age starts at 16. when you're 16 you can register and vote but you're not obligated to do so until you turn 18. voting is mandatory, which i think is a good thing.
I'm split when it comes to mandatory voting but I do disagree with laws trying to make it harder to vote. Also I think (in the US) that there should be a holiday for the presidential election
@@alyssabrown-carleton6173 I have thought a lot about this and i always come to the conclusion that i think it's our civil duty to vote so it should really be mandatory (especially in Brazil because we've had a few dictatorships and people were tortured and died for our right to vote). Also, yes, in Brazil all elections happen on a sunday when most people aren't working and people who are working get excused to go vote which is really quick, i've never taken more than 20 minutes to vote, and also get a little paper slip that proves you voted so you can give it to your employer. Voting in Brazil it's really the perfect democratic experience, our democracy and politics just really suck lmao
Thanks for the info! I Love to hear about others countries systems. In Spain (where I am from) voting is a right that you can use (or not), but no one can forbid you to vote. Also, voting is always on satudays because people usually dont work.
It is amazing to hear someone else say they don’t like mint either! I am literally forced to use children’s toothpaste and mouthwash because I can’t find any adult oral hygiene products that aren’t mint.
In my experience any non-mint adult oral hygiene products are only from indie brands which I’d love to support but the problem is they are much less accessible and more expensive.
I really appreciate you mentioning body autonomy when it comes to the vaccines. I have chronic illness and medical trauma, and even though I’m not against getting the vaccine, having choices made for my body without my consent is triggering. And that may not make sense to anyone who hasn’t had medical trauma. I think getting the choice vs being forced to do something makes the experience entirely different.
Oh my God thank you so much for talking about the fast fashion aspect. I’ve been vegan for five years and just turned 20, I am a college student and the fact that I can be vegan and try to be sustainable in my food and beauty, means a lot to me. But I’m plus size, and clothes are very expensive. So I have to go to more fast fashion stores just to get clothes that fit me, but I keep saving, and I keep working, and I hope to be able to become even more eco-friendly as I go. But you’re so right, I need to be nicer to myself, and remember that I’m doing what I can and that’s all anyone can do.
sometimes people forget that you can’t just ask for a child and have them given to you. it’s a long, expensive process that tbh i can’t see many people being able to afford. surrogacy sounds v appealing when you weigh the options.
My country has strict regulations and the potential adoptive parents usually go through 10/15 years before they are allowed to have temporary custody and a couple more yeard until full custody. It is a mess, but we are talking about traumatized kids who need adults who will be able to properly take care of them (even worse: I know a couple of cases of kids that were "returned")
People really still think adopting children is like adopting a dog. "you just go to the orphange, pick one out, and go home that day right?" It can be an extremely long process, and very mentally taxing. A pregnant woman could have decided to adopt her child out to you since the beginning of the pregnancy. You prepare for the baby, you get excited, you pick out names, you go to every appointment. The birth mother has 72 hours to change her mind after birth. You could have been expecting a baby for 9 months and be in the final stretch and STILL not get that baby. I can't imagine the emotional toll that takes on adoptive parents
I am a social work major and my ears perked when you said “macro community”. I am currently taking a class on macro social work and I agree with your opinion !
It's so painful too because the US just hit 500,000 COVID-19 deaths. More Americans died in 2020 than in WWII. I just wish people would get it together so it would stop
I agree that if you're trying to be ethical in one sense, you should not be ashamed if you can't do that in all areas. BUT if the people who are ethical in one sense shame and name-call others as cruel who may be ethical in different areas, then that is hypocrisy. You can be mindful or passionate for a cause without being a bully
the IVF vs. adoption thing makes me mad because why would we call infertile couples selfish for not adopting...when we don't say the same thing about non-infertile couples? like by the logic of "there's so many kids out there waiting to be adopted," shouldn't everyone adopt, not just infertile couples? But the reality is that most people choose to have biologic children, so why single out infertile couples for being "selfish" when they're just trying to do the same thing? Infertility is so devastating for so many people, don't judge someone when they're already down and trying to make the most personal and difficult decisions of their lives. Tired of this kind of virtue signaling. Like "oh they should just adopt and help someone in need" Ok Karen, you have multiple children and the easiest time getting pregnant, sit down. How come you didn't adopt or foster? Infertility is literally a disease and there's no shame in seeking out medical treatment
I don't hate James Charles for the bye Sister situation, I hate him for the reason that he's partying during quarantine. And I'm not excusing him for being a young adult, I know 6 year olds who grasp this concept better

I’m very skeptical of onlyfans bc I don’t like the part it plays in grooming so many young girls to look forward to turning 18 for the sole purpose of getting to sell adult content. I think creators on there are so irresponsible of how much they romanticize sex work.
I absolutely hate the "I suffered, so you suffer," mantra associated with paying student loans. I was fortunate enough to pay back my student loans ahead of schedule, but to do that I worked full-time while attending school (so I couldn't give as much attention to school as I would have liked) and said no to so much stuff post school so I could make extra payments and worked soul crushing jobs... Why would I wish that on anyone? I would like to go back to school, but the idea of dealing with student loans again deters me so much.
Commercial surrogacy is a clear problem, to me. Here in India, it's achingly obvious that it exploits low-income women who have no access to education or other resources. They have no alternative. It's simply commodification of women's bodies. Voluntary, or "altruistic" surrogacy is a whole other thing, if a family member or someone chooses to do it without coercion of any kind. .. Thank you for talking about topics like these, Hannah. Most people avoid the hell out of them, and I admire you so much for addressing things instead. I may not always agree with your opinions, but I'm always glad to hearthem, and grateful for the discussions that are started 😊❤
As someone who just finished paying off student loans, I thought I’d bring up a few points that I haven’t heard many people discuss and I think we should take into consideration. A lot of people who are upset, are probably the same people who weren’t able to spend as much time concentrating on studying since they had to work multiple jobs just to be able to afford to go to college. No one wants other people to suffer, but at the same time, if you had to pay off your loans for YEARS and because of your loans, your grades suffered, and after you graduated you had a hard time finding a job (because of your grades) and then you had to continue living with your parents - it kind of feels like people just a few years younger than you are now going to be getting the jobs you couldn’t get because your grades suffered because you had to work multiple jobs. And they just get loan forgiveness. Also, something I’ve NEVER heard brought up. Why are we not going directly to the source of the problem? Does Harvard and all of these “elite” schools really need a bunch of rich kids there? The price of school should really be decreased, and the price of textbooks is waayyyyy too much considering you only use the book for a few months. It seems like if you’re smart enough to be accepted into a school like Harvard, then you should only have to pay the same amount as a public school. It all seems very classist. In addition, those who can’t make it into more elite schools usually aren’t able to do as well because their schools aren’t as well funded. Things I wish they would do prior to eliminating loans: 1) decrease college education and the price of textbooks. 2) fund high schools with better equipment and more up-to-date books 3) and then look into making the schools pay for the loans. Seems to me if you go to a school and spend thousands on an education your school should hold some of the responsibility if you can’t pay your loans off. Plus most of these elite schools could probably afford it rather than putting our whole country in an economic down-turn in the middle of a pandemic. Hopefully I made it clear that most people don’t want others to suffer. But what they do want is a plan to keep the economy from spiraling and for the education system to still be sustainable. And as someone who is privileged, I know my experience with my loans was probably better than others who are most likely suffering long-term consequences that I only touched on initially.
"If you can't take care of/don't want a baby, don't have sex" is SUCH a dated opinion that I was genuinely shocked someone typed that out earnestly Edit: apparently I have drunk the "leftist koolaid" on this one Edit 2: dammit I edited the comment right as Smokey liked it, and editing makes creator hearts disappear 💔 rip me
@classy. Nope. How about we make abortion and birth control available and teach people how to use birth control properly, so this isn't an issue? Pretty fucking sick of this type of mentality being used to slut shame women in particular. No one ever really talks about the men who get these women pregnant, who say condoms make sex feel bad, and coerce their partners into risking their bodily autonomy?
@classy. I assumed you were a woman and my response to you was framed under that assumption. I don't care to give your internalised misogyny any further attention than to tell you you're wrong.
@classy. I also never said abortion should be a first choice. You're arguing against a strawman because you'd never actually be able to argue against a real person with a brain.
@classy. more accessible and more appealing isn't the same thing. I'm going to assume you also don't want healthcare to be more accessible, because that would cause people to start breaking their bones because the idea of going to a hospital for free is so appealing. Very Christian of you. Also LMFAO spewing the word leftist around like an insult when you're the only one mentioning political views makes me believe it's you who has drunk some type of koolaid.
@classy. if you want to ban abortion, make birth control more accessible. also, rape exists. Someone who got pregnant via rape did not choose to have sex, and they CERTAINLY didn't choose to get pregnant. They don't deserve to feel any more violated then they already do. And in reality, you'll never be able to stop abortion from happening; banning them means banning women from being able to do it safely.
Literally paused the video to comment but I ran into Trisha Paytas at target yesterday… And it was the weirdest experience of my life. Because you do forget that she’s a real person not just some mythical creature that lives on your computer. It wasn’t that I was starstruck it was almost like seeing a real life unicorn for dinosaur or something
Wow! I would be star struck myself! Especially with Trisha because she is so iconic! Did you at least say hi to her? I know she doesn't mind doing photos but she gets pissed when people want to do Tik Toks with her though. I totally had a fan girl moment last week when Morgan Adam's liked my comment on her video! LOL!
no. I was confused. She looked so familiar but I couldn’t figure it out at first and she was wearing a mask. Also social distancing with my 3 year old. Just said hi/excuse me like I would to any normal person... but then realized it was her and it was just the strangest “wow this is weird, you’re real” feeling. I wasn’t excited or star struck because I’m not a “fan” or find her content and career to align with my beliefs/lifestyle. It’s just this weird feeling to see someone who lives their life in front of millions doing a familiar and ordinary task. Also a weird feeling to think I don’t know her but I don’t agree with what she has said or done and there she is. Then walked out to my car and her pink Rolls Royce SUV was parked right next to mine. My daughter was very into that. LOL
I reached one of my body goals! I haven't lost weight but I was able to bend over to put my shoes on and get back up without using my kids shoulder to boost myself up and grunting 😝 and I'm going to be 35 in a couple weeks, so massive win with a girl with back issues!
There would be a lot less children aging out of the foster care system being abused and never feeling wanted or loved if women had easier access to abortions.
Abortions are NOT an answer to this! We need to look at ALL children loving and as wanted first and foremost. We need to start making g a difference in the foster system instead of just aborting children and not even give them a chance to have a life!
I found it fascinating when watching the Paris Hilton documentary when she spoke about her s*x tape. She made a good point that in 2021, she would’ve been treated a lot differently. She was 18 and her much older boyfriend convinced her to do it, then it got leaked and she was the butt of everyone’s jokes. 😕
I've taken some naked photos of myself that have ended up in the hands of men who are no longer in my life. So if they were to get leaked, the only thing I would apologize for is for the bad angles 😌
On the whole maximum age to vote thing: I've kinda been on this side for a minute, but its not for the 60 year Olds that i disagree with, it's more for the 85-90+ because of the mental capacity of many of them and the idea that very few of them will be alive to reep many of the less immediate impacts of thoes elections. My great grandmother is 92 and lucky has all of her marbles and a few years ago walked her gay nephew down the isle but the idea of her voting, while I had to sit out the 2016 election because I was 17, is incredibly frustrating. But the idea of telling her she's too old to vote breaks my heart, so I get why it's not feasible
I saw the video from James on my homepage, saw the bald head, immediately knew it was fake and would probably end up being controversial, and decided to patiently wait for the commentary 😂

THANK you for talking about the privilege of not buying fast fashion, especially for plus sized people. It’s not even hard for companies to make larger clothes, they just choose not too. Fatphobia is so pervasive in our society.
As much as I would absolutely love to only buy clothes from sustainable brands, any brand I've looked at is just not affordable, especially for my lifestyle. My job ruins my clothes but I also have to look put together (I work in a nail salon and get nail polish and paint and oil stains all over my clothes) I have pets who sometimes rip or stain things, etc. so buying shirts at $200 a pop when I make commission painting people's nails is just not even possible. Yes I thrift, but things aren't always in the right size/style/best condition, and can cost just as much lately as buying something brand new from a fast fashion store. I try to think about where my money goes when I can but I hate being made to feel like a bad person because I can't really afford to spend more than $20 on a pair of jeans y'know. I'm trying my best!
And this is exactly why I can't criticize most people who wear fast fashion. Sarah down the street who's working two barely above minimum wage jobs just to pay rent is not going to be able to afford high quality ethically sourced, fair trade clothing. It's fucking EXPENSIVE. Although, I DO seem to recall that Kate Middleton wore a dress from Zara some time ago and I looked at that and thought "you're a bad person". You're part of the royal family now, you could literally afford ANYTHING that your heart desired. Why in the actual FUCK are you wearing fast fashion? Is it an effort to seem relatable? Did they sponsor you? Or are you just a thoughtless asshole?
also to the yt's struggling during the pandemic: what is deemed as a "financial struggle" is very personal to your financial situation imo. if you have a mortgage to pay, any inconsistency in your fundsd can cause issues and stress for you. there's also no telling if that person had debt or loans that they had to pay off. tldr; financial stuff is hard to make a sweeping judgement on, esp since so many ppl are private abt it

It’s so old fashioned. Even my mum complained about older people doing it to her when she was young. We must invent a new excuse for the same lament every generation 😂 Aren’t we supposed to be working towards a better future for everyone? Shouldn’t the fact that some of the next generation don’t have some of the burdens of the previous be a GOOD thing?
Oh, Society!
If human kind had that mentality throughout all of history, we would have never evolved into modern day society.
People have this idea in their head that only shein and Forever 21 are fast fashion. When I tell you almost all popular clothing brands RUN on fast fashion that’s no understatement. People critique others for wearing fast fashion when they usually are wearing it themselves.
Yes this! not to mention that many brands that claim to be ethically sourced are extremely expensive and not everyone has the privilege of being able to afford that. I think realistically, we should preach to just buy LESS and buy clothing that you really need and will wear instead of disposable clothing that will be worn once or twice.
@@esterh0000 exactly you can’t avoid the problem so just try to partake in it as little as possible
This is true and a great reminder for me!
the main problem i have with insanely cheap places like shein and forever 21 is that the low prices encourage overconsumption..... for example i always see people on tiktok doing massive shein hauls with like hundreds of items, which they could afford because their prices are so low. the issue with this is that those clothes are really only made to last about a year, so most of those items will end up in a landfill somewhere not too far in the future.
Overconsumption is the main issue! Buying what you need from fast fashion is ok, whatever. But because it’s cheap and they’re bored, people buy a ton of stuff they don’t love or won’t use and end up throwing away. If it’s fast fashion but you genuinely get a lot of use out of it that’s nowhere near as bad as mindless purchases.

@@ItBeThatWaySometimes I am transferring to university soon. I did not go to college straight out of high school. I took a class here and there at a community college but mostly worked and lived at home.

It costs an arm and a leg to afford even a bachelors, so it looks like I will need to borrow some money for school once I transfer.

the 'being a vegan vs shopping fast fashion' question always makes me think like...what's a better use of $150? a few weeks' worth of vegan groceries, or one pair of pants from universal standard?
i also hate that mindset because i've gotten comments about fast fashion that i bought before i went vegan and has somehow lasted five or so years and i'm always just like... you want people to start throwing clothes away for no reason other than to protest a company that is not going to shed one tear about (or even notice!) their clothes going in the dumpster? that sounds super productive for the environment /s
@@sydney.mp4 definitely this! Getting rid of clothes you already had isn’t helping anybody, or taking any money away from the company that already got their cash years ago from the original sale. Also goes for thrifted clothing! Brands see absolutely zero revenue from that and it’s still an ethical choice, yet people will judge anyway
I believe a big problem with the vegan influencers using fast fashion is that most of those influencers are white and how it shows that they believe that animals are more important than POC. I agree that any small change you can make the world better is important but the all mighty attitude they take on without looking into their privilege is a big problem. I hope this makes sense. My unpopular opinion is that I hate the “cruelty free” unfortunately 99% of the food we consume is done so with so much abuse and cruelty.
@@mariasandoval3506 completely agree with how the youtube vegan influencers portray themselves. But I think it's also important to recognize how many people are abused in the animal agriculture industry. The working conditions on factory farms are dangerous and the workers are forced to torture animals as they scream. It's not just animals who are abused in that industry. I'm not sure of the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if POC are overrepresented in that workforce.
i mean.. u can buy second hand clothing which is way cheaper
“professionalism” seems like a scam. why do i have to be an employee 24/7 when i don’t even get paid enough to survive? so what if i post naked pictures/have tattoos/ etc. it also disproportionately affects poc
THIS! Why the hell does it matter what you do in your free time? Like maybe if the first job you have paid you enough, you wouldn’t have to look for other avenues in the first place 🙄 but regardless, it shouldn’t matter what you do when you’re not on the clock/on the premises
Just make your page private...
The problem is that blackmail exists and if you aren't careful one of the people paying for your nudes can screenshot it and share it. I had personally faced this where I was blackmailed to pay a certain amount or they would post links to my nudes all over the place.
I didn't pay and they posted the links all over my instagram. Took a while for me to get it removed and honestly it was nerve wrecking. Basically I didn't want it to be shared like that. I didn't want friends and family to see me like that. Basically if they knew where I worked my boss and coworkers could have seen it because in general people are assholes.
Not everyone paying for your onlyfans will respect you, they won't have the best intentions and some may use this against you to get something out of you. These are the risks you will need to worry about. There is no such thing as safe in onlyfans.
@@jacquelyngomez292 yes true but that mentality only feeds into victim blaming
@@a.nn.a2098 I am saying instead of sexualizing our bodies in ways that triggers past trauma we should view the body in a nonsexual light. In our world sex sells, which is a problem considering that we lack proper sexual education and wouldn't need to use porn and sexual images as a form of sexual education. We could of normalized female sexuality long ago had we been given a proper sexual education along with resources to help us in areas that are in desperate need of attention. Yes it is hard to make a living but onlyfans is basically a pyramid scheme that relies on your marketing skills started by a corporation that profits off your body. Which in itself is also a scam. The fact that inflation has imparted you in ways to be unable to scrape by is evidence of the government failing you at an economic standpoint. If we fix the economy and improve our country with education and health we wouldn't need onlyfans.
PREACH. people need to quit it with judging ppl who are not privileged to shop and eat and take care of themselves “ethically”. stop 👏 shaming 👏 poor 👏 people 👏 just 👏 for 👏 merely 👏 existing
YES! Being able to shop wherever you want and buy whatever you want is a privilege. Both on the side of money and body. I’m not rich by any means but I have the money to splurge and buy something really nice for myself every now and then, however I’m more on the bigger size so a lot of the time those places I want to splurge at don’t have my size, so when I want clothes I usually have to go down the cheaper and less ethical route just to merely find clothes to fit. It’s hard, we all struggle, we just need to accept that sometimes other people struggle more and have to do less ethical things just to make ends meet.
THIS! i’ve literally been shamed for not being able to thrift shop when i live in a very rural area that has no thrift shops. 🙄
@@rebeccamilligan4177 I can splurge sometimes too but I will have to save up if I want to splurge I mean it took me a year to buy a switch lol 🤷🏻♀️
Also as a poor college student I’ve lived a WAY more ethical and sustainable life, amen for thrift stores man. I feel like the poor are probably doing better, environmentally speaking, and the rich with their huge houses and six boats might be the real fuckin isssue here.
There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, especially when someone is poor or part of oppressed groups.

When talking about ethical shopping, eating “clean”, or being more echo friendly, I always think of a TH-camr named Shelbi (her channel is Shelbizlee).

It makes me feel better remembering this when I’m feeling guilty about certain impacts I have on the environment
On the topic of IVF I had a friend recently talk about how her and her husband are doing IVF but not because of infertility. My friend recently lost her mother to ALS and it was devastating for her. She then got tested and found out she is a gene carrier. Through IVF they would be able to get pregnant without passing that gene onto her child. Just wanted to make people aware that there are other reasons for IVF
Wow that is great for your friend! Congrats to her ^^
great comment!
That's amazing to hear😢 I had a boyfriend who's dad passed from it. It was devastating. It's so awesome they've found at least some way to help prevent this terrifying thing from happening. That's very cool

Yes. I totally agree
As someone that has paid tens of thousands of dollars in student loans (and am still paying), I would like nothing more than to save someone from the crushing dread of knowing your student loans are due once you graduate.
exactly. It's like telling people education will change your life, but only to be left with a crumpling debt that puts you back a couple of steps.
Yup. Almost done paying over 30k in debt. I would LOVE to save my own children from that :(
James Charles lost all my respect when he was called out for his never ending collabs during a PANDEMIC and basically explained himself by his crew getting tested "every week" cause there are "millions of tests available". Like, no, you can't say that bs to your young audience and think that's ok. He is old enough to understand how wrong it is. I'm sorry but I'll never support him after that. (not saying he deserves any of the hate of course, I just personally won't watch him again)
yeah i agree. that was super tone deaf of him
Yes!! And those tests are so expensive!!
James Charles is very shady, idc. I dont think he is mature at all. Yes, he's 21 but he should know better. A lot of people are in college and paying bills at 21, js.
In his defense, there are millions of tests available for people deemed "famous" or rich. They can get them whenever they want, it's a false reality considering the majority have to fight to get a test and even then, many are turned away.
They are millions of tests available for rich people, it’s privileged but not untrue
Nudity should never be used as a weapon. I completely agree! Taking a naked photo doesn’t make you any less qualified to do anything professionally. I personally think that people who try to use those things against others are just bitter, jealous humans. Awesome video Hannah! Sending you love.❤️❤️❤️
Unpopular opinion: tiktokers don't deserve to make the same amount as nurses and doctors who are risking their own lives on the daily to save others.
not to mention those same docs and nurses went through hundreds of thousands of dollars of schooling to get to where they are. while some pretty girls on tiktok who have hardly even graduated high school can make more then them. its sad
Yes!!! Me and my hubby were just talking about this! He said that if doctors would record their surgeries and appt's....they would get paid more. Makes sense, unfortunately. It's a shame!!! Not even in the same class..ya know?
Ethically yes but speaking of the real world, they make money from promoting things for companies so they need to be paid an amount that makes up for it
@@katg7623 true!
i heavily agree with you, but truth be told, their popularity was uncalled for, even for them. like, most of these tiktokers didn't even expect to get popular. it's kinda our fault for making them popular, and thier popularity is something they cannot control. but, of course, they should understand the extent of thier reach, and use thier popularity responsibly and properly.
On the adoption front. There is actually a strong part of the adoptee community that believes the way to fix the “so many children without a home” problem isn’t more adoption but actually better social programs so that the children’s can stay in there home In The first place. If you want to look into it more. An adoptee activist has this great podcast about it called the adoptee next door. Totally suggest.
Ooh! Thank you for the suggestion! I’m gonna check that out!
yes! My best friend was removed from her family due to both her parents having disabilities that limited the hours they could work, which caused them to become homeless, and she was put into a foster home.
She talks a lot about how it made no sense to her to take her from a loving family that couldn't afford to make ends meet just to then pay foster parents to take care of her when that money could have gone to her birth family in the first place.
I was just about to comment the same thing! I took a class on adoption issues last year and it very much is not a system that should be as widely encouraged as a fertility solution as it is, especially when it comes to international adoption systems!
Also, so many kids linger in foster care while the courts try to get some parents to straighten out. A family member tried to adopt a little boy instead the poor kid ended up bouncing his whole life from 18 months to 18 from 1 foster family to his parents back to another foster family. This is horrible!
and also better (sex) education! the less children are accidently born, and the more children are born intentionally, the better.
On the wedding dances, I’m a wedding photographer and VERY RARELY will couples dance for the whole song, usually they dance for about a minute and a half, then split off to get their parents for f/d and s/m dance for 30 seconds, then the bridal party joins for the last chorus and rest of the song :) hope that helps!!
Seconding this!
That’s my experience too. The wedding couple lead off their wedding dance, everyone has a moment to fully project their love and support to the couple, then organically everyone starts to join in and dance in participation of that moment together. Often kids will be the signal. It’s a beautiful thing 💜
We didn't do a first dance because enough people had been staring at us all day lmao. It's just another time killer at the wedding so people can get drunk.
That’s been my experience as well!
The only times where it hasn’t been like that if either a shorter song or heavily rehearsed (I had an amazing couple do a rendition of still alive), or something like fireworks happen at the end- so unless it’s communicated, the bridal party will absolutely join in!
"don't have sex if you're not ready to take responsibility for a baby" is such a juvenile and infuriating take. are you really going to tell people who are married or have been in a committed relationship for a long time that they need to abstain from sex for their entire lives if they don't want a child? really?
I once heard somebody say 'children shouldn't be a punishment for having sex' and amen to that.
Yes !
Also: it is unhealthy. Most humans are sexual beings, as long as there is consent, safety and everyone anjiys it, it shouldn't be a problem.
I agree but at the same time people should be careful. Babies are a HUGE responsibility and should be made with love.
@@allierose8500 sometimes it’s an accident even if everything goes right. Thankfully you don’t need to be punished cuz of abortions
I took the “we need to stop normalizing onlyfans” response in a different way! If it’s towards people of age, I disagree, HOWEVER, I’ve been seeing so many people normalizing MINORS to having an onlyfans! This is especially common on tiktok and it’s so incredibly gross considering these adults are grooming minors into s*x work the second they turn 18.
I was going to comment this. On tiktok, it's glorified into something it's not, made out to be easy money when I actually hear a lot of the opposite. I've heard stories about it taking a huge mental toll and causing trauma when young girls go into it having unrealistic expectations and then end up regretting doing it in the first place
i totally agree, it's like encouraging young people and making it sound empowering when really it's not. It's also just like incredibly dangerous as a profession so encouraging kids is putting them into these dangerous situations
your rant about birth control, thank you. yeah that person is so wrong. i am not ready to handle the responsibility of a child but at almost 29 years old, i am still going to have sex with my husband. that mindset is so flawed.
It's like people refuse to accept that sex is a normal thing. Sex is pretty integral when it comes to relationships, for more than just "that feels good". Being abstinent until you decide you are ready for a baby just does not work in our society
Also people don't have sex just to have kids, by that logic a couple that had two children and decided they don't want any more should never have sex again.
Amazes me that people still thinks like that. ☉。☉
That argument is very "abstinence is the only birth control method you need"
Just as you should if you want to! 👏Totally agree, that argument is so dumb

I can relate, I don’t have hips but I have big muscular thighs and inverted hips so I’ll never ever have that “thigh gap“ that people called goals back in like 2015. I remember trying so hard in high school to lose weight so that my legs would be smaller because I was embarrassed of my thighs. I’ve finally come to terms with this and am comfortable with how I look. Now it’s like a trend to have muscular thighs and it just irritates me how we make body types a trend.
Yes! Even when I weighed 105 pounds, I never had a thigh gap.
Yes - I remember I would force my walk to change so I could achieve the thigh gap while walking. I remember I was told I would “waddle” due to this, but I was so uncomfortable with my thighs touching, I wouldn’t care. Looking back I can see how ridiculous that was.
i feel you on the big thigh thing. i can weight 90 pounds and i'll never naturally have a thigh gap, it's just how my body is. i used to starve myself and cry because i wanted one so bad. fcking tumblr

And what about people who don’t want kids? They should never have sex because they don’t want children? Insane.
SO true about the adoption point. As you said, begrudgingly adopting a kid when you wanted to have one of your own is uh... maybe not a nice position for a child to grow up in.
Not wanting peoples student loans to be forgiven is the same as saying "oh my childhood wasnt good so yours shouldn't be either" and you abuse your child because you dont want them to have what you didnt have.
@@chloestevens2389 anecdotal evidence here, but I've already paid back over half of the initial amount I took out in loans, but due to interest v. the amount I've been able to pay per month, my current calculation is that I will end up paying back about twice the initial amount I borrowed. (This is even after refinancing.) Having worked in financial aid, I can confidently say that I feel the student loan game (both federal and private) is predatory and the "counseling" offered is inadequate for young borrowers and their families. I'm not going to argue "life isn't fair," but I'd encourage considering that none of us asked to be part of this unfair life. People who have borrowed loans to get an education are trying to improve their circumstance compared to others who got "luckier," and even people who are paying back their loans are negatively impacted by the current system. Life might not be fair, inherently, but our education system is changeable. It does not have to remain unfair.
@@chloestevens2389 If you are able to achieve the education, career, and survival plan you want without taking out loans, kudos. That is great for you. I do believe that a 4 year college education should be free in America, one of the wealthiest nations in the world. If we are able to finally evolve our for profit education system and accomplish that, I do not believe we should 'go back to paying after that.' The interest I have paid could have paid for the education for at least one other person, but instead, it is trickled up to some of the wealthiest people in the country... who get exponentially wealthier. The circuitous system that punishes people for being born into poverty, then punishes them for attempting to escape poverty, and then punishes them for being unable to live in poverty is built largely out of our education system. It's well overdue for a remodel.
I've thought of so many examples similar to this point about student debt that make me think what a ridiculous take this actually is. It's like women from the past saying that they didn't get to vote so neither should we now. Or black people from the past saying that they couldn't sit at the front of the bus or go to a white school or eat in certain restaurants or use certain bathrooms or fountains (or literally anything to do with slavery/discrimination) so the next generations shouldn't get to. Or gay people saying that they weren't allowed to get married when they wanted to so future couples shouldn't get to either. Literally any single form of advancement where future generations are given the privilege of something that past generations had to suffer through would be an equivalent example to this ridiculous "I had to suffer so you should too" take. Like....what???

I agree that adoption isn’t for everyone, but so is parenting in general and I wish the society would normalize it, instead of pressuring people to become parents because it’s seen as a default.
This! All of this! Thank you!
I just want to comment on the no sex = safe sex opinion. Even when you use any form of birth control CORRECTLY, it can still fail. Hence why women having a choice in proceeding with pregnancy or not is SO important! Just needed to say that.
YESSS ,!!!
Absolutely!
Humans are also hardwired for sex. So abstaining from it unless you're ready for kids isn't actually natural to the way we evolved.
@RottenApples54 Abortion exists and happens whether we limit access to it or not. Just wanted to put that out there.
I feel like with the adoption thing people forget that in lots of places suragacy and ivf are the only options for people in same sex relationships. In most of the world gay couples are still not allowed to adopt
this !!! adoption is just not accessible for a lot of couples who would be perfectly good parents.
Agreed! I don't get why lgbtqia couples or singles can't adopt. It's 2021.

And also people who are felons cannot adopt. And not every person who’s a felon is bad or dangerous some people just made a mistake.

Re: veganism: my take is that vegans who refuse to eat honey and use agave instead are actually doing so much more damage and clearly have no understanding of how beekeeping works. The same could be said of eggs and wool.
As a vegan I agree. And also vegans who choose brand new pleather (plastic) clothing instead of used leather.
as a vegan, agree about honey and wool but the issue with eggs is different, there's a lot more animal harm in the egg industry than in wool and honey harvesting
@@mollyoirsghois Then that's why its important to shop local. Find a local egg farmer where you can see how the animals are looked after. You'll also be helping the local economy.

Your OnlyFans take was an interesting one, I hadn't thought about it before. I don't like the glamorization of the app (and sex work in general) especially to young people via social media because it's a tough job and I don't think enough people are talking about the negative aspects related to it (also, I get that teens often gloss over the less fun side of a lot of things in life lol I just wish there was a way to efficiently let them know the job isn't for everyone and they should never feel pressured by their peers or the media to follow that path). This was an interesting perspective, I really appreciated your input!
This isn’t criticism toward you, but I want to touch on something that gets said a lot and you’re the first comment that I saw that mentioned sex work, so please don’t take this to heart or be offended!
While I agree that there is glamorizations of sex work I feel like this comes from b-list celebs and you tubers/influencers. If you ask any sex worker who’s been in the business for more than a week they’ll tell you that it’s a hard job and it’s not as fun as it seems. We (sex workers) want to be able to talk honest and openly about the negative side of the business but often get shut down by influencers who talk about how easy it is for them.
A majority of the danger and problems sex workers face comes from the social stigma and the fact that it’s criminalized. If governments gave a major overall of the laws surrounding sex work it would make it safer for the public and sex workers which in turn would reduce the negative side of the business!
@@ThePokemonlover1231 Yes, I completely agree with you! That's why I worry about what young people think sex work is all about, because they're getting their information via tik tok or twitter where the Tana Mongooses and Bella Thornes of the internet have become the most prominent voices on the matter, and not the actual people whose lives depend on the job and have endured a lot to be able to perform it safely.

I'd like to add to the topic of not wishing to be vaccinated: the history of black people being medically experimented on (for instance, the syphilis thing). I'm not black so I can't personally relate (and I have, myself, been vaccinated) and I don't want to speak for everyone that is black, but I have heard for some black people the idea of trying a new vaccine is terrifying to them and can bring up trauma. You can find tons of stuff by googling “history of black abuse in medicine”
I’ve honestly never thought about that you bring up a really good point
I've read that there is a lot of mistrust in medicine in the black community and that's understandable, but hopefully the fact that the vaccine is being rolled out to everyone should count for something
Everything that you’ve stated has a lot of truth in it. It’s very hard to believe a 100% in medicine from my perspective of being a black woman. But I’m vaccinated and I plan on keeping it that way. I will admit that giving birth was very triggering as well for me.
Very fantastic point. The same can be said with the Jewish community, as well. As they were utilized to test pharmaceutical products via IG Farben during the Holocoust... and when the drug failed, they just dumped the body. So lots of trauma there too.
Wow. I had no idea about this

Unpopular opinion: I hate seeing celebrities or anyone that is rich try to “spread awareness” for charities and it’s just them in some random country in Africa that they probably couldn’t name. Not only is it very tone deaf and plays into the white saviour narrative, it also annoys me that celebrities are telling us common folk to donate. Like charity is good and all but st the end of the day the person saying it could have wayyy more of an impact if they gave up some of their MILLIONS instead of telling people that will never see a million to give.
Also the whole plastic thing shouldn’t have been so focused on the consumers but on companies that mass produce it. I don’t use plastic straws and try to reuse bags and plastic bottles but if they’re still being mass produced and there has not been a drive or even a desire for an alternative what’s the point? These companies are greedy and don’t really want to change but at the same time they’re the billion dollar corporations that should have been cracked down on

I wouldn’t say that I disagree with the points you brought up about Onlyfans, but as someone who recently turned 18, I do believe that in some spaces there is a weird, not conditioning but there is a noticeable wave of people introducing and pushing the idea of OF and sex work to minors. I remember people both online and in my real life asking if I was gonna start an OF, because I will be “legal” and that I can make “good quick cash” by “taking advantage” of people’s carnal deaire. I think that mindset is dangerous to push onto youth. I was considering it for quite a while, honestly, and I really had to do some introspection into thinking, is this what I wanna do? Or is this what people around me are convincing me I should be doing? Would this be liberating to me because it is to others? Personally for me, it isn’t, but it’s strange that I had so many people telling me this is something that I need to do to be a “liberated woman” when I don’t even- identify as a woman.
***edit: I don’t believe that sw and having an of can’t be liberating, and I’m sorry if I came accross that way. My intention was just to share how the pressure to do such things was something very strange to me. I also come from the Tiktok+cosplay communities which influences my experiences with this issue greatly.
It's a little sus to me as well b/c OnlyFans operates in a pyramid scheme structure. Influencers have referral codes that allow them to profit off of those that they recruit underneath them. It feels like some of these OF influencers are targeting young people who are more likely to sign up without thinking of the long-term consequences (and thus profiting off of their naivete).
I absolutely hate that people said that to you omg 😲 I'm so sorry u had to go through that. I'll never understand the sentiment of it being empowering.. I feel like it's just furthering to normalize the objectification of women's bodies and that womens main purpose is for sex. I think ladies should be trying to better themselves creatively and academically to do the jobs that men once said we can't do. That is what is really impowering!! (In my eyes.. I know this is an unpopular opinion)
This!!! Only Fans is something that is not for everyone as well, I had a similar experience when I turned 18, and ended up going through with working in that type of field and it just didn't work for me. And not in the sense that I wasn't making money by doing it but I lost a deep part of myself during that time and mentally It wasn't something I could handle. There are people though who thrive in that environment and it makes them feel empowered and in control of themselves, but it certainly shouldn't be pushed out as a way to go for everyone. It may not seem like it, but it's a lot of work and it takes a lot of effort- it's not an easy out it's very emotionally and physically draining.
Also, OF is a lot more than just posting naked photos. A lot of people end up regretting doing this kind of shit but it's online forever. And unfortunately there is still a social stigma against sex work. Someone close to me lost their dream job over it, so dumb but that's just the way it is unfortunately. An employer can fire you over anything that they want to. Most people can't look at you the same afterwards.
there is a lot of grooming going on on tiktok IMO- the referral link is the issue
I don’t know about the US but in the UK we have covid “bubbles” in which people who live alone are allowed to form a bubble with another household. Which basically translates to that one person can interact and visit the people in that household in person. But one household is only allowed to form one bubble. Really helps the loneliness and mental health of those who are alone in these times.
As someone who was born because of IVF, that unpopular opinion kinda made me really sad. IVF can be a long sad process just like Adoption. It’s not for everyone and I don’t think anyone should be judged for how they choose to become a parent. Whether it be through IVF/ Surrogacy or adoption, what works for some won’t work for others so no one should be judged for that.
"Surrogacy and IVF leave a bad taste in my mouth, given there are so many kids in need of a loving home".
...If you really care about the kids in need of a loving home, why are you specifically targeting prospective mothers who choose surrogacy or IVF? Why not ask the same question of all prospective mothers, regardless of how their child is conceived? Seems like whomever wrote this opinion has some internalized stigma going on, or is simply feigning concern about foster/homeless kids for the sake of presenting a "hot take"
I think it’s monetary reasons? People that are able to get pregnant on their own can have a wide range of income while those that go for IVF or surrogacy have to have the money to pay for it just like with adoption. I still disagree with the whole “bad taste” thing but i think this might be where they’re coming from
That person literally has no idea what they're talking about, and can fuck off for all I care. I used fertility treatments to get my son. Yeah, I'm not sure where that person's head was at saying that.
I wish with my whole heart that I could foster. It was my plan for life and I was getting ready to undergo the process of becoming a foster parent then found out I was pregnant with someone I barely knew and my life changed very quickly. I might consider it again when my kids are older and don’t cost me as much money and energy
@@evillittlemcnuggets my insurance covers IVF. Plus MY MONEY my choice how you use it.
THANK YOU. There's definitely something weird about that comment. If you're concerned, then ask that of everyone, not just people who need help conceiving.
My wife and I tried to adopt before and were turned down because they said we didn't have enough money. We had a beautiful little girl in 2015 which was a miracle (she was our 18th baby, but only survivor). We just found out that we are expecting again and my wife is scared. Each loss has taken a part of our souls and she almost died during our last one.
I"m so sorry for your losses but congrats on having one and the one on the way! Sending you positive vibes!
Wishing you all of the best after all of the loss you’ve been through! Much love!!!
Congratulations 🥳 I hope the pregnancy is safe!
We will make sure to keep you all updated! Hannah, my wife loves you and never misses your videos! She almost cried when she saw the loving comments but especially seeing the heart from you! Thank you guys and she was talking about sending you messages to keep you updated (like sonograms and stuff) Hannah. Which account would be best for that? We hope you all stay safe and have happy days! I know you all have given us wonderfu
About the vegan and ethical consumption thing: I would say I agree except when someone is yelling at someone that they are not a good person for not making those decisions
I would say that’s why veganism is thrown into the hypocrite category a lot is due to a select few vegans who scream from the top of their lungs that your a bad person if your not vegan and then give the community a bad name
This! As a vegan, I place more onus on capitalism and the corporations who perpetuate factory farming than individuals who are just trying to stay alive. I don't understand how someone can be vegan and continue to support capitalism, the ideology is inherently anti-capitalist.
came here to say this. I have NO problem with vegans living their lives in a way that this person said they are being "hypocrites", but the second they start belittling others for their life choices that include animal products as they carry around their iphones made with rare minerals mined by child slaves and built by underpaid/overworked laborers, THEN Imma have a problem. And I've said as much to people like that, as a plant based person myself. STFU and stop making us all look like assholes
honestly, its not even a select few now
I think for new vegans it’s really hard for them to understand when they’re being too much. For me, it was like I learned this crazy truth and I was so upset that I hadn’t come to the realization sooner, I wanted to “help” those around me (not to mention animal cruelty in the agg industry is infuriating when you learn about it) that I didn’t realize I was coming off as crazy until my fiancé told me so. I had to realize that I didn’t know this my whole life, and if someone was saying this crazy conspiracy-sounding thing to me, I would think they were nuts. I was NEVER mean to anyone, or called anyone names - I blame(d) corporations for lying and pushing false narratives, but bc I went through that, I try to have a bit more patience with others.
@@kconnorsd agreed. Or the “fruitarians” that make us look nuts hahaha. I’ve had people try to actually belittle me/call me names for being vegan and I’m just like hey man if your lifestyle isn’t any of my business, then mine isn’t any of yours. That usually shuts them up haha
I feel pregnancies happen a lot also because young girls don’t want to tell their parents or dr that they are having sex.
Okay, vegetarian who focuses on ethical fashion here: i wanna push back on your take bc vegans who get sanctimonious about using animal products and encourage the use of things like faux leather and faux wool are literally encouraging people to wear plastics that shed into the environment and water and are a massive massive problem environmentally. Also supporting anything that is made with sweatshop labor while getting on your high horse about animal rights really unintentionally says “I think animals deserve more respect than some people!” Like, totally get if you can’t commit to ethical fashion for financial reasons or bc you haven’t found your personal taste yet, or you disagree with me abt micro plastics, but if you are sanctimonious or an influencer with regards to your veganism then openly buying fast fashion is a SUPER sketch and frankly hypocritical look to me.
One thing that really stood out to me about your response to the vegan/vegetarian and fast fashion thing is that it feels like it challenged assumptions about fashion and veg-ism. 1) It can be hard to shop more ethically if you are a bigger size (and yes, there are vegans or vegetarians that are bigger!). 2) Someone could purchase fast fashion because it fits their financial needs and that same person can be vegan or vegetarian because having that ethical lifestyle where food is a big part of it isn't necessarily expensive. So it's not just thin, wealthy people who are vegan or vegetarian choosing to be unethical in other parts of their life. That probably exists and I don't know if the person who submitted assumed that was the kind of person but your response had a nice myth-busting feel to it!
i like the father daughter dances. I feel like they're so loving, and just a big moment. they always make me cry but that might be my daddy issues lol
I disagree. so many children without parents in their lives. I just wish schools stopped doing it.

On the vaccines topic, in Poland where I'm from there is a list of mandatory vaccines (tuberculosis, whooping cough, polio, tetanus and few more). If you have a serious medical reaction to the vaccine, you are excused from all mandatory vaccination. Being brought up in this, it's super weird that fellow Western countries don't do that.
In order to enroll children in school, vaccines are required. There are exceptions for for those who have medical issues, but the vast majority of people were vaccinated as children. However, the religious exemption claims have been increasing.
Western countries are so behind on anything that would benefit its citizens. It’s really frustrating living in America and seeing all of these other countries with their accessible health care and education
I am in the UK and that is the case here too. I was shocked to find out it's not like that everywhere
Vaccines are not mandatory here because there are ways to get around them but I believe every child who can be vaccinated should be. You can obtain a medical exemption here in the US from a doctor if you have a legitimate medical condition that makes you unable to be vaccinated. However the religious exemptions are the problem because are lieing about their religion to get an exemption.
@@SamanthaD89
Even if they are not lying, and maybe I'm harsh, but please leave society if you want to endanger and hurt *me* by walking around possibly being superspreader.
You're not gonna die if your beliefs are not respected, I might otherwise.
Medical reasons are entirely different category -
and her bodily autonomy arguments doesn't make much sense here, to me, because
a. mandatory ≠ forced physically (there's fines, and exclusions from benefiting from society, daycare and school for example)
b. it's not only your body* but mine too, not sure how the saying goes : your freedom to wave your arms stops in front of my nose? but something along those lines.
(*born, sentient, unlike in abortion arguments)
Unpopular opinion: I don't want to see thousands of people commit suicide because of total isolation and I want people to stop getting on everyone else's case about seeing friends. I am single, I live alone, and if I didn't have work and spaces to walk outside I would be in such a terrible mental state.
100%
Yes! Also, I have an almost 3 year old who was becoming terrified of everyone because she was only seeing my hubby and I. I had to to prioritize her mental and emotional growth so we have select playdates and I’ll never apologize for that
@@kristinraeee I'm sure you're not alone in that situation. There will probably be many kids with attachment issues after quarantine.
I took a class on sex and women in society and we took two weeks to discuss the porn industry. It made me cry because of how difficult the porn industry was on women and how it essentially promotes violence and the objectification of women, even though many people like to say that’s not the case. The article we read showed a huge correlation between violence against women and porn and so I think onlyfans is an incredible platform because it has allowed the women (and men) who participate to really benefit from the content they are making to the fullest extent while only pushing out whatever content they are fully comfortable with and it also normalizes women as being people who also enjoy sex because even still we are not supposed to enjoy sex as much as men. Personally I don’t have any OF and I don’t know if I ever will but I have such respect for the people who do and who are benefiting from an industry that was meant to put them down.
in Brazil legal voting age starts at 16. when you're 16 you can register and vote but you're not obligated to do so until you turn 18. voting is mandatory, which i think is a good thing.
I'm split when it comes to mandatory voting but I do disagree with laws trying to make it harder to vote. Also I think (in the US) that there should be a holiday for the presidential election
@@alyssabrown-carleton6173 I have thought a lot about this and i always come to the conclusion that i think it's our civil duty to vote so it should really be mandatory (especially in Brazil because we've had a few dictatorships and people were tortured and died for our right to vote). Also, yes, in Brazil all elections happen on a sunday when most people aren't working and people who are working get excused to go vote which is really quick, i've never taken more than 20 minutes to vote, and also get a little paper slip that proves you voted so you can give it to your employer. Voting in Brazil it's really the perfect democratic experience, our democracy and politics just really suck lmao
Thanks for the info! I Love to hear about others countries systems. In Spain (where I am from) voting is a right that you can use (or not), but no one can forbid you to vote. Also, voting is always on satudays because people usually dont work.
@@TheSandrasIdeas i love hearing about it too!
It is amazing to hear someone else say they don’t like mint either! I am literally forced to use children’s toothpaste and mouthwash because I can’t find any adult oral hygiene products that aren’t mint.
You can try cinnamon toothpaste and gum it actually works better
Oh that actually sounds kinda good! I’ll give it a try, thank you!
In my experience any non-mint adult oral hygiene products are only from indie brands which I’d love to support but the problem is they are much less accessible and more expensive.
I'm allergic to mint and no one ever takes it seriously...
A lot of natural type brands have other flavors!
I really appreciate you mentioning body autonomy when it comes to the vaccines. I have chronic illness and medical trauma, and even though I’m not against getting the vaccine, having choices made for my body without my consent is triggering. And that may not make sense to anyone who hasn’t had medical trauma. I think getting the choice vs being forced to do something makes the experience entirely different.
Absolutely
Oh my God thank you so much for talking about the fast fashion aspect. I’ve been vegan for five years and just turned 20, I am a college student and the fact that I can be vegan and try to be sustainable in my food and beauty, means a lot to me. But I’m plus size, and clothes are very expensive. So I have to go to more fast fashion stores just to get clothes that fit me, but I keep saving, and I keep working, and I hope to be able to become even more eco-friendly as I go. But you’re so right, I need to be nicer to myself, and remember that I’m doing what I can and that’s all anyone can do.
Oh my god the voting age one - i turned 18 THE DAY AFTER THE 2018 MIDTERMS. I WAS 13 HOURS TOO YOUNG TO VOTE it was so frustrating lololol
sometimes people forget that you can’t just ask for a child and have them given to you. it’s a long, expensive process that tbh i can’t see many people being able to afford. surrogacy sounds v appealing when you weigh the options.
My country has strict regulations and the potential adoptive parents usually go through 10/15 years before they are allowed to have temporary custody and a couple more yeard until full custody.
It is a mess, but we are talking about traumatized kids who need adults who will be able to properly take care of them (even worse: I know a couple of cases of kids that were "returned")
People really still think adopting children is like adopting a dog. "you just go to the orphange, pick one out, and go home that day right?" It can be an extremely long process, and very mentally taxing. A pregnant woman could have decided to adopt her child out to you since the beginning of the pregnancy. You prepare for the baby, you get excited, you pick out names, you go to every appointment. The birth mother has 72 hours to change her mind after birth. You could have been expecting a baby for 9 months and be in the final stretch and STILL not get that baby. I can't imagine the emotional toll that takes on adoptive parents
I am a social work major and my ears perked when you said “macro community”. I am currently taking a class on macro social work and I agree with your opinion !
It's so painful too because the US just hit 500,000 COVID-19 deaths. More Americans died in 2020 than in WWII. I just wish people would get it together so it would stop
I agree that if you're trying to be ethical in one sense, you should not be ashamed if you can't do that in all areas.
BUT if the people who are ethical in one sense shame and name-call others as cruel who may be ethical in different areas, then that is hypocrisy. You can be mindful or passionate for a cause without being a bully
the IVF vs. adoption thing makes me mad because why would we call infertile couples selfish for not adopting...when we don't say the same thing about non-infertile couples? like by the logic of "there's so many kids out there waiting to be adopted," shouldn't everyone adopt, not just infertile couples? But the reality is that most people choose to have biologic children, so why single out infertile couples for being "selfish" when they're just trying to do the same thing? Infertility is so devastating for so many people, don't judge someone when they're already down and trying to make the most personal and difficult decisions of their lives. Tired of this kind of virtue signaling.
Like "oh they should just adopt and help someone in need" Ok Karen, you have multiple children and the easiest time getting pregnant, sit down. How come you didn't adopt or foster?
Infertility is literally a disease and there's no shame in seeking out medical treatment
I don't hate James Charles for the bye Sister situation, I hate him for the reason that he's partying during quarantine. And I'm not excusing him for being a young adult, I know 6 year olds who grasp this concept better
I’m so confused on the partying thing..? He went to one and never went to another... did I miss something or what. I thought he only went to the surprise birthday party.. and people talk like he went to every single influencer who threw a party..? Did I miss something?
@@tyreek.6815 he went on vacation (to hawaii i think) and has done tons of in person collabs
@@isobelmasson5040 okay so your talking about the past collaborations? He hasn’t done any this year so why hold that over him... then like I’ve said... you can be safe and follow guidelines going out. It’s normal. Look on TH-cam and use common sense. People follow guidelines and put safety as a front line of defense no matter what they do. It’s like going to theme parks in shit rn. Following guidelines and making sure your personal health and surrounding health is okay and kept up you’ll be safe. The idea of saying there’s one way to be safe is toxic.
@@tyreek.6815 you asked if you missed something so i just told you what people were referring to? also this year just started so i don’t think we can just discount the last 6 months
@@isobelmasson5040 that’s not partying though. I asked what other parties he went to so yea you didn’t answer the question... I never said discount them but you bring it up like he’s constantly doing it doesn’t prove anything if he’s hasn’t done it.. just cuz your not acknowledging it. Yk.
I’m very skeptical of onlyfans bc I don’t like the part it plays in grooming so many young girls to look forward to turning 18 for the sole purpose of getting to sell adult content. I think creators on there are so irresponsible of how much they romanticize sex work.
I absolutely hate the "I suffered, so you suffer," mantra associated with paying student loans. I was fortunate enough to pay back my student loans ahead of schedule, but to do that I worked full-time while attending school (so I couldn't give as much attention to school as I would have liked) and said no to so much stuff post school so I could make extra payments and worked soul crushing jobs... Why would I wish that on anyone? I would like to go back to school, but the idea of dealing with student loans again deters me so much.
Commercial surrogacy is a clear problem, to me. Here in India, it's achingly obvious that it exploits low-income women who have no access to education or other resources. They have no alternative. It's simply commodification of women's bodies. Voluntary, or "altruistic" surrogacy is a whole other thing, if a family member or someone chooses to do it without coercion of any kind. .. Thank you for talking about topics like these, Hannah. Most people avoid the hell out of them, and I admire you so much for addressing things instead. I may not always agree with your opinions, but I'm always glad to hearthem, and grateful for the discussions that are started 😊❤
As someone who just finished paying off student loans, I thought I’d bring up a few points that I haven’t heard many people discuss and I think we should take into consideration.
A lot of people who are upset, are probably the same people who weren’t able to spend as much time concentrating on studying since they had to work multiple jobs just to be able to afford to go to college. No one wants other people to suffer, but at the same time, if you had to pay off your loans for YEARS and because of your loans, your grades suffered, and after you graduated you had a hard time finding a job (because of your grades) and then you had to continue living with your parents - it kind of feels like people just a few years younger than you are now going to be getting the jobs you couldn’t get because your grades suffered because you had to work multiple jobs. And they just get loan forgiveness.
Also, something I’ve NEVER heard brought up. Why are we not going directly to the source of the problem? Does Harvard and all of these “elite” schools really need a bunch of rich kids there? The price of school should really be decreased, and the price of textbooks is waayyyyy too much considering you only use the book for a few months. It seems like if you’re smart enough to be accepted into a school like Harvard, then you should only have to pay the same amount as a public school. It all seems very classist. In addition, those who can’t make it into more elite schools usually aren’t able to do as well because their schools aren’t as well funded.
Things I wish they would do prior to eliminating loans:
1) decrease college education and the price of textbooks.
2) fund high schools with better equipment and more up-to-date books
3) and then look into making the schools pay for the loans. Seems to me if you go to a school and spend thousands on an education your school should hold some of the responsibility if you can’t pay your loans off. Plus most of these elite schools could probably afford it rather than putting our whole country in an economic down-turn in the middle of a pandemic.
Hopefully I made it clear that most people don’t want others to suffer. But what they do want is a plan to keep the economy from spiraling and for the education system to still be sustainable. And as someone who is privileged, I know my experience with my loans was probably better than others who are most likely suffering long-term consequences that I only touched on initially.
"If you can't take care of/don't want a baby, don't have sex" is SUCH a dated opinion that I was genuinely shocked someone typed that out earnestly
Edit: apparently I have drunk the "leftist koolaid" on this one
Edit 2: dammit I edited the comment right as Smokey liked it, and editing makes creator hearts disappear 💔 rip me
@classy. Nope. How about we make abortion and birth control available and teach people how to use birth control properly, so this isn't an issue?
Pretty fucking sick of this type of mentality being used to slut shame women in particular. No one ever really talks about the men who get these women pregnant, who say condoms make sex feel bad, and coerce their partners into risking their bodily autonomy?
@classy. I assumed you were a woman and my response to you was framed under that assumption.
I don't care to give your internalised misogyny any further attention than to tell you you're wrong.
@classy. I also never said abortion should be a first choice. You're arguing against a strawman because you'd never actually be able to argue against a real person with a brain.
@classy. more accessible and more appealing isn't the same thing.
I'm going to assume you also don't want healthcare to be more accessible, because that would cause people to start breaking their bones because the idea of going to a hospital for free is so appealing.
Very Christian of you.
Also LMFAO spewing the word leftist around like an insult when you're the only one mentioning political views makes me believe it's you who has drunk some type of koolaid.
@classy. if you want to ban abortion, make birth control more accessible. also, rape exists. Someone who got pregnant via rape did not choose to have sex, and they CERTAINLY didn't choose to get pregnant. They don't deserve to feel any more violated then they already do.
And in reality, you'll never be able to stop abortion from happening; banning them means banning women from being able to do it safely.
Literally paused the video to comment but I ran into Trisha Paytas at target yesterday… And it was the weirdest experience of my life. Because you do forget that she’s a real person not just some mythical creature that lives on your computer. It wasn’t that I was starstruck it was almost like seeing a real life unicorn for dinosaur or something
Wow! I would be star struck myself! Especially with Trisha because she is so iconic! Did you at least say hi to her? I know she doesn't mind doing photos but she gets pissed when people want to do Tik Toks with her though. I totally had a fan girl moment last week when Morgan Adam's liked my comment on her video! LOL!
Did you speak to her or ask for a picture? Just curious, bc she is always saying how much she loves meeting fans/ppl outside of TH-cam.
no. I was confused. She looked so familiar but I couldn’t figure it out at first and she was wearing a mask. Also social distancing with my 3 year old. Just said hi/excuse me like I would to any normal person... but then realized it was her and it was just the strangest “wow this is weird, you’re real” feeling. I wasn’t excited or star struck because I’m not a “fan” or find her content and career to align with my beliefs/lifestyle. It’s just this weird feeling to see someone who lives their life in front of millions doing a familiar and ordinary task. Also a weird feeling to think I don’t know her but I don’t agree with what she has said or done and there she is. Then walked out to my car and her pink Rolls Royce SUV was parked right next to mine. My daughter was very into that. LOL

There would be a lot less children aging out of the foster care system being abused and never feeling wanted or loved if women had easier access to abortions.
Or birth control.
Abortions are NOT an answer to this! We need to look at ALL children loving and as wanted first and foremost. We need to start making g a difference in the foster system instead of just aborting children and not even give them a chance to have a life!

The James Charles thing rn makes this age like milk unfortunately
That's what I thought as well
Yeah this honestly caught me off guard..
I found it fascinating when watching the Paris Hilton documentary when she spoke about her s*x tape. She made a good point that in 2021, she would’ve been treated a lot differently. She was 18 and her much older boyfriend convinced her to do it, then it got leaked and she was the butt of everyone’s jokes. 😕
as an adopted child myself, i 100% agree with your stance on adoption!!
I appreciate the tact that you had surrounding some of the more delicate issues, such as vaccinations and family planning.
I've taken some naked photos of myself that have ended up in the hands of men who are no longer in my life. So if they were to get leaked, the only thing I would apologize for is for the bad angles 😌

On the whole maximum age to vote thing: I've kinda been on this side for a minute, but its not for the 60 year Olds that i disagree with, it's more for the 85-90+ because of the mental capacity of many of them and the idea that very few of them will be alive to reep many of the less immediate impacts of thoes elections. My great grandmother is 92 and lucky has all of her marbles and a few years ago walked her gay nephew down the isle but the idea of her voting, while I had to sit out the 2016 election because I was 17, is incredibly frustrating. But the idea of telling her she's too old to vote breaks my heart, so I get why it's not feasible
@girl who loves mcdonald's Sweetie, I think you're on the wrong channel
I saw the video from James on my homepage, saw the bald head, immediately knew it was fake and would probably end up being controversial, and decided to patiently wait for the commentary 😂
relating to whether or not the vaccine should be mandatory - i do want to add that minority groups are understandably skeptical when it comes to these types of things. historically minorities, specifically black people in the us have been put through torture for medical advancement

I loved you bringing up that "radicals" in the US are seen as moderates in most other western places. Seeing it from my perspective (Switzerland) it's so fascinating and also fucking scary to see how politics and politicians work in the US.
Vegan eating/ethical fashion: Don't let 'perfect' get in the way of 'good.' Let's applaud incremental individual changes and also advocate for systemic changes.
THANK you for talking about the privilege of not buying fast fashion, especially for plus sized people. It’s not even hard for companies to make larger clothes, they just choose not too. Fatphobia is so pervasive in our society.
As much as I would absolutely love to only buy clothes from sustainable brands, any brand I've looked at is just not affordable, especially for my lifestyle. My job ruins my clothes but I also have to look put together (I work in a nail salon and get nail polish and paint and oil stains all over my clothes) I have pets who sometimes rip or stain things, etc. so buying shirts at $200 a pop when I make commission painting people's nails is just not even possible. Yes I thrift, but things aren't always in the right size/style/best condition, and can cost just as much lately as buying something brand new from a fast fashion store. I try to think about where my money goes when I can but I hate being made to feel like a bad person because I can't really afford to spend more than $20 on a pair of jeans y'know. I'm trying my best!
And this is exactly why I can't criticize most people who wear fast fashion. Sarah down the street who's working two barely above minimum wage jobs just to pay rent is not going to be able to afford high quality ethically sourced, fair trade clothing. It's fucking EXPENSIVE.
Although, I DO seem to recall that Kate Middleton wore a dress from Zara some time ago and I looked at that and thought "you're a bad person". You're part of the royal family now, you could literally afford ANYTHING that your heart desired. Why in the actual FUCK are you wearing fast fashion? Is it an effort to seem relatable? Did they sponsor you? Or are you just a thoughtless asshole?
also to the yt's struggling during the pandemic: what is deemed as a "financial struggle" is very personal to your financial situation imo. if you have a mortgage to pay, any inconsistency in your fundsd can cause issues and stress for you. there's also no telling if that person had debt or loans that they had to pay off.
tldr; financial stuff is hard to make a sweeping judgement on, esp since so many ppl are private abt it
today i get my bachelors in music pedagogy and the process has been completely free because i live in finland. the fact that people go into incredible debt for an education when it’s something that should be free and available to all breaks my heart.
Amen to “i hate mint”. That stuff gives me the chills just smelling it. And not the good kind.
