  • Ever since the show premiered, we've been obsessed with all the secrets and lies on the show. And while some of it has been fascinating, other aspects of PLL culture have been really bad for us. From obsessing over weight to stressing over our looks, the PLL diet culture had a bizarre approach to food.

    My problem is that even the girls made not subtle jabs at Hanna’s eating issues. In the season 4 finale; Hanna was making noise while she was trying to get some cookies , the girls scolded her even though they probably hadn’t ate anything all night.

    i think film/tv has a problem with showing women eating in general. usually it’s only shown if there’s a reason he’s being shown, like if it’s a plot relevant meal, but even when women are shown at the table to eat they are almost never shown actually eating it. very weird sexist thing that exists for sure!

    • @sdjd2570
      @sdjd2570 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thats true, but i also think they dont show characters eating unless its a) relevant to the plot (for example the character has an ed) or b) an important conversation took place at breakfast/lunch/dinner . These shows were not meant to follow characters 24/7, they only show plot relevant stuff. You could say these shows dont show characters eating, but they also dont really show them peeing/pooping/showering/brushing their teeth/doing skincare etc cus that would be irrelevant and boring and people would complain how there are so many fillers in the episode. I think we are just meant to assume they do all those stuff. I didnt articulate my opinion the best but i hope you got my point

    • @alorockss
      @alorockss ปีที่แล้ว +27

      It's not sexist. TV and movies don't actually show characters eating for a very practical reason, which is continuity. If you're filming a scene where a character is shown with food, and the next scene is of them eating said food if they mess up, they really can't replace the food they just ate, they need to bring another plate to redo the eating scene to avoid breaking continuity, so it is unpractical if this is done in all the scenes involving food. That's why in most movies and shows you only see characters implying that they're eating but not actually eating, you see them moving the food in their plate, or just saying they're full and putting their plate down, or sometimes even just taking a bite and that's it.
      Besides, the studios where shows and movies are filmed have tons of lights, creating a very warm environment in which most of the time, real food won't last for a long period of time, and sometimes scenes take very long to film. By the time they're done filming the scene the food would be spoiled and unsafe for consumption. To avoid the wastage and food poisoning, they don't use real food, they bring props, which is why actors can't really eat then and just simulate to do so.
      There's an episode in Friends where Joey is eating pizza, in a behind the scenes bit, they mention that the scene had to be filmed multiple times, and the actor had to eat so many slices his stomach ended up hurting.

  • @LittleRedTeaCake
    @LittleRedTeaCake ปีที่แล้ว +28

    So I can think of one reason, and this is hopping into my psychology degree chair for a moment: food is seen as a way to care and nurture people in your life, when you offer it to them, it shows that you are thinking of them and their needs. It's important to feel cared for, basic human need. So when the girls reject food from their parents, they're not just rejecting food, they are rejecting their care, their attempts to nurture them and make them feel love. I think one of the biggest reasons for this, is that the Liars cannot trust their parents, or they have been let down by them so many times (Aria's dad cheating and her mom leaving them, Emily's dad is gone all the time and her mom needs to work on not being so homophobic, Spencer's parents, well I could write an entire paper on how they fucked up their kids, but specifically, they always choose Melissa over her, not matter what and lastly, Hannah had an eating disorder which warps how the mind views food to begin with, normally with being the enemy and therefore any offer from a parent, is not seen as an act of kindness or nurturing, but an act of violence against them, also her dad abandoned her) so the girls have zero adults they can rely on or even trust, so in an odd way, it kind of makes sense that they are constantly refusing food from anyone, they can't trust them.
    Once and a while, I can get my husband to watch the show with me, because watching anything from my teen/YA years is really entertaining, anyways, we've talked a lot about the things that happen later in the series and whenever I bring up Ezra, he's like, "Oh you mean the guy that knowing dated a 15 years old and had previously also dated her friend who was even younger? Him, that guy?????" Because I watched this really great video essay a while back about how the show and the characters really down play they age gap and *cough cough* illegal and grossness of the relationship and always focus on the fact that he is her teacher!

    • @RachaelTheRed
      @RachaelTheRed ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not to defend the Ezra/Aria pairing (because I also thought it was weird and gross) but they probably down played the age gap and focused on him being her teacher because in the state of Pennsylvania, where the show is set, that is the main thing that makes it illegal. The age of consent in PA is 16. Honestly though, Aria deserved better anyways. Ezra was not the sweet, sensitive, bookworm they tried to portray him as.

    Personally I think the show portrays a way some people actually are. To me Veronica and Melissa being judgemental about Spencer making a pasta and them taking a salad because they ''do not want to be fat'' to me portrays the obsession with being perfect and the pressure Spencer gets everytime she is not that. I think showing those kinds of things can be very important to a story.

    theres a few episodes where subtle comments are made towards spencers ed. i think it was going to be a bigger storyline but they dropped it. like one time i specifically remember toby saying she wasnt allowed more coffee until she ate all her breakfast and she kept talking and not eating until he made her and i remember her telling her mum she wasn’t hungry but not in a normal way, it felt like they were hinting at something i remember

    i had never considered that part of why Alison became suburban-housewife-ified was that she had to end up dating Emily. that makes it even more annoying honestly, maybe they could’ve tried making Emily more edgy (for lack of a better term) instead of making Ali more boring.

    Aria and Holden should've been endgame and I will die on that hill. Childhood friends to lovers is one of my favourite tropes and I still feel so slighted by the writers that they brought Holden back for an episode or two after the flash forward and then gave him and Aria these really cute (and honestly refreshing) scenes and then he never came back. I will never get over this.

I watch a shit ton of movies and shows and still end up asking at least once an episode what the hell is she referencing. But otherwise she’s a good friend to everyone and unlike the original show I think it’s comforting/makes more sense how the different characters really work as a group. I honestly don’t understand why any of the original Liars were friends with Allison besides Hanna and maybe Emily. They only thing they had in common was their school if we’re being honest. The show depended on the backstory and someone else on TH-cam said it and I think it’s true they were more like coworkers.

Like, it's really funny and nonsensical to me because today, having a big butt tends to be considered to be attractive and trying to shame someone having one would be considered offensive. It's crazy how 2000s and early 2010s teen shows were obsessed with being skinny! It goes to show how much beauty standards have changed!

      So, no. We don't need more of people having bad relationship with food, that actually makes it worse. Teenagers already are badly affected by this, it does matter what they see as normalised. Because we know that we are affected by what we see and it can lead to unpleasant issues.
      If you wish to solve obesity in the US, instead of insisting the issue is obese people, let's instead solve the reasons for it. Because the biggest reason between US and the rest of the world is exactly the difference in food accessibility, quality of food, access to health care and fair wages No, I am not saying that it is a resolved issue outside of the US of course but the difference is dramatic and it has been researched to death. We know why this happens and we know how to resolve it. And the resolution is never "show more people having bad relationship with food while normalizing it".

    i remember being so triggered by this show😄 and i couldn't always put my finger on it as to why... it's more done in actions, rather than things they say. Besides Hanna's "fat days" - then there wasn't really so much said about food. except for " i'm not hungry. i just lost my appetite" ...
    mostly it was the way they would go about the whole subject. Hanna and her mom in the kitchen. those scenes were the worst.
    it's funny... There are shows like Gilmore girls, where food is such a big part of the show, but its done in such an unrealistic way. they didn't actually eat that way, and was that thin. teach waste and bad habits and always eating so so so much ( even if we never actually saw them eat it) AND then there is PLL where they avoid food. even when they talk about it, its about how they do NOT want food.
    It's always a bad sign when food has a big role in shows - when it wasn't actually the purpose. if the show was about ED or one of the characters battling it, then it would be great. but these subliminal messages are the things that hurt the most i think. because teenagers ( and with these shows - highly likely mostly GIRLS) - teenagers learn habits through what they SEE ... not what people say.. i know for me, i picked up some bad habits due to some of my favorite tv characters..... I don't have a solution, i just know that there is a problem for sure. ❤️
