It's a better long-term investment to cultivate acceptance of aging, and neutrality about your appearance than eternally fighting aging. It's like trying to hold water in your hands forever, even if you're really good at holding the water it's going to slip through at some point.
Right?? And I think its fine to sort of mourn a long gone state of how you looked at a certain point. But at the same time isnt it fine to then go and embrace a different version of yourself? Like what I dont understand is how people cant embrace the natural progression of you and your style and uplift other peoples. Youre not ever gonna look like 10 years ago but as much as you were fine then, you are fine now, in a different way
I think that mindset is too black and white. I think the master-slave dichotomy is a little black and white as well. When you mention how it starts with men, I do think you remove a ton of responsibility and agency from some women who’ve not only internalized some of these patriarchal norms but also uphold them as well and furtherthe cycle of oppression. I think it’s all of our responsibilities to break down this toxic cycle.
@@valuelight you're fully right after it's a society issue(hate is learned)still even if not ppl are faulty,most are even if some without noticing , accidentally. Some people are usually more at fault than others but that doesn't mean they dobt got no fault...
My dad is 70 years old but looks like he's in his late 40s. However he can't walk as long as he used to and gets exhausted more easily, he may look young but he's still 70, our family all look quite young for our age, it is not food or some special facial cream, there is no secret it is simply genetics and all it does it make you look young, however I don't feel young I have aches and pains of someone my age.
Even with how oversaturated with content and social commentary TH-cam is, you consistently manage to bring these concepts onto my feed with a perspective that feels fresh and interesting. G shit
What’s going to age one faster is by fixating on trying to have a eternal youth which will do a number on your mental health with is no bueno. Unfortunately, the human body is like a automobile, things break down and wear out with time and mileage. Eating things in moderation, exercising, giving yourself a mental rest will go a long, long way. Will those things stop you from aging? Not entirely, but it’s a preventative measure.
Castration/low dose estrogen! That's what I did and don't regret it. Tanner progressions with a functioning pair of testicles change skin and corpuscles. If one stays 5-10% underweight, they can shut down sperm production or menses if female. Much lower and your out of the happy zone. Look at how transmen age and it ain't nice. I'm gay and not attracted to men nor do I want to be one. We have serious problems and this is the only solution. Actually life alone or a prison cell are the other options.
fat pre-t queer transmasc here - im swiftly approaching 30, and its gotten a lot easier to not just accept but embrace aging as ive gotten older - i hated it for the longest time, but a couple years ago i started getting a silver streak right next to my face and that has somehow made it easier to accept the couple of smile lines and very light crows feet im starting to develop! any skin care i do focuses on hydration and sun protection, and internally its just “drink more water and stop eating garbage all the time” and it feels great! its so much easier for me to be happy when im not focused on being the least threatening, smallest amount of me possible.

This is really puzzling, I have a lot of bear content on my pages (😅) and I’ve only heard the term twink death as implying they had a glow up / are much happier than when they were younger
I had only heard the same to be honest. I’m a bi woman so that’s not really my game but generally in the queer communities I’m involved in, twink death referee to a positive transformation, and evolution even. It usually involved a lad having a glow up and actively choosing to put in effort to change the way they look to how they want to, not them just aging and having their twink rights revoked by everyone else??
think its such a good thing that more and more people are starting to see that skin cancer is a very real thing and its very much recommended to protect your skin to but some people just take it way too far...
Aging is so beautiful. I love when I see old queer people, it gives me hope that I can live a long life and find happiness and acceptance. Aging is simply another part of being human, and there is nothing wrong with it
Feminine man here, I love how I am and look. But...I don't believe in twink death. It's ageist, and twink is attitude (and okay, partly body type. Let's be real here). Putting an age cutoff at 25 or something else absurd is literally just tossing us in the trash, then expecting...what? We'll turn into a pumpkin because "too old." And omg you completely got it with "oh why not just be a bear or some other acceptable category of older gay man." And if that's not you, too bad.
Discussions like this have a tendency to leave out something really important: We can have both. [TL;DR We can have both a society that doesn't care all that much about appearance AND have drastically slow aging, without compromising on health as well as without, ya know, doing eugenics] Sure, a lot of "aging" is indeed "natural," but that doesn't make it a good thing, because a lot of "natural" "aging" is actually quite literally just biological processes breaking down, such as cellular repairs and replacements that are already constantly happening. Relatively recent advances in medicinal technology could actually slow down those breakdowns significantly, to the point of peoples' healthspans lasting hundreds of years. And the thing is, for people who don't want that, the solution is simple: Just don't participate. To be clear: This (apparently nuclear?) take isn't about "ugly people," this is about getting to have more years of good health, and you can't do that when your bones are disintegrating. Certain chemicals naturally produced by the body help with cellular repairs, and the amount of it made by the body decreases over time, so repairs happen slower until it's no longer keeping up. The simple solution to that is to find ways to continue having a lot of those chemicals after, say, 50 years of being alive. There's also certain CRISPR, but CRISPR will never be popular and will always be controversial. Like I'm fully "both sides"-ing this kinda thing because there's a secret third option! We can just. Not age super fast (by cosmic time scales at least) AND not be doing it for superficial reasons, at the same time! And idk maybe if the average lifespan were a few hundred years, maybe people as old as today's boomers would actually care about keeping up with things like climate change, since they don't get to act like it's the next generation's problem. And frankly? I'd like to have a handful of extra decades to get to do cool shit with the people I love. I just hope we as a society will get our shit together and actually put those medical advancements into practice, without being bigots about it, and without being superficial about it. How cool would it be if "living memory" could mean "something as old as the American Revolution"?
I have many questions about twinks. This may not be the best place to ask them, but I don't think Reddit was ideal either. At least here, I will likely just be ignored. Do twinks age out, and if so, at what age? Is being a twink a state of mind? Does it vary from person to person? Is being a twink a spectrum? What are the differences between twinks of different ages? Are there any distinctions? I've always been curious but don't understand the intricacies of Twinkdom. Perhaps this is proprietary information reserved for specific groups. I'm just curious. Anyway, thank you for the video, and have a great day.
Some of us get castrated and take low dose estrogen to maintain our look. We treat it as part of a eunuch identity which is a subset of male. Personally I consider myself an adult-boy age player. I don't want to be a woman and I don't want to be a man. Stopping male Tanner progressions like corpuscles thickening, skin changing color, and gaining muscles/weight are only done through protein/caloric restriction or gender affirming care. We don't "age out"; we go upstairs and don't come down. I'm 48 and have aged well but do plan on getting a lift when time says so. I further enjoy the company of other twinks and it's a substitute for hebephilia. I don't consider myself feminine and I had a very difficult time accessing gender affirming care and I lied saying that I want to be a transwoman. I only took the steps a eunuch would take but at some point I had to fib a little and this was long before non-binary people.
@@DorianPaige00 Thank you for the comprehensive answer. Twinks are portrayed in the media in such a way that eliminates the nuance and depth of the individuals and group. I never would've known.
I've been called an old wise looking guy but i am FIGHTING to keep this face wrinkle free, to keep my tummy flat, to keep the muscles tight, because.... I don't exactly know to be honest. I guess i want to permanently look how i look now. I am utterly mortified of ageing and the concept of death. Like for the most part i love when people assume I'm older than i look, it's flattering because i portray maturity, but on the other hand i am actually actively trying to also not age. It's so bizarre. I don't even know what I'm doing honestly. I'm not gay either, so it's not a boytoy twink thing for me. I just don't want to age at all. I essentially just want to stay the same.
such a stellar example of how privilege and oppression can intersect. This guy is clearly harming himself, but the ability to harm his mental and physical health is this way is contingent upon his relative privilege as a thin white guy with the means to even afford the fuel for his toxic obsession. As a fat trans guy, I have trouble even comprehending a future where I get to grow old even to fear it this much.
Adjacent to this, we as society really need to discuss why there has been an tidal wave of "content" related to youth and children, much of which has sexual aspects in it. We used to say, "What about the children?!" in the past and seemed to care about protecting young people, but that seems to have completely gone to the wayside. I think 10-20 years from now, we will start hearing an incredible amount of stories of grooming, abuse and coercion from when they were minors
This is literally the only thing I think about when I see this stuff. Women with the whole coquette and kawaii thing... why are you trying to appear like a Child? Let's call a spade a spade. You can like cute things without fully blown dressing and changing your voice to sound like a child.
11:56 well to be fair Retinoids are evidence backed to prevent fine lines and help with acne. Its recommended to start applying them from your 20s because once wrinkles appear it's basically impossible to remove them, so better to prevent them (or at least delay them coming). 12 year olds though (ykno Sephora kids) should NEVER put on retinoids.
In the same vein as twink death, have you ever considered making a video about Keeps or other hairloss medication sponsorships? The ads always feel gross and manipulative to me It seemed like any man was quick to jump on board the body shame train for while, was really sad to see wavywebsurf sponsored by them. Now its thinned out a bit (haha) but I see them pop up every once in a while. Personally I think youtubers should be barred from advertising any kind of medication including drug based apps.
Yes would love to see this discussed! I also remember seeing their ads almost everywhere, I also remember feeling the need to lower the volume on my videos so my partner wouldn’t hear because they were so frequent I didn’t want them to feel some type of way about their hair situation
Just don't skip the sunscreen if you can Tolppi !!! Cancer is a bitch. Just lost another family member to it and she was only 32, leaves behind 3 daughters.
I feel like I'm kinda stuck in being a twink in personality and height, leaning heavily into feminine interests and standing at a grand 5'5 last I checked, but being what the bear community would refer to as an Ewok. Doesn't help that I'm also a long-haired transmasc so being as curvaceous as I am means that people often get the wrong idea when I'm feeling confident and dress femininely and/or colourfully. I feel like if I didn't have this extra weight I'd maybe pass a lot easier, even at my most fabulous... It's a struggle trying to love my body, especially as I have to make progress with losing the weight for medical reasons.
Lost 20-25 lbs twice with just restriction n cardio. Third time lost 50 ( years in between all, no 🪃)and that was easier. Protein and veggies for carbs. Both very filling. Lots and lots of protein. 120-220 g each day
I gotta agree with this video. I've watched Bryan's video on his supplement routine and one of the esssential oil supplements he takes is borage oil, but this ingredient doesn't have consistent studies on its benefits and can have a few unwanted side effects like stomach upset and hormonal disruption. So we can't all just take other people's supplement gummies outines at face value.
I had no idea this was a thing outside of the art community and was really confused upon seeing this video at first. I'd only seen it as a meme to show evolution in characters as artists learn how to draw different body types and character design elements over time. I've joked about one of my OCs having a "twink death" bc I made it more masculine-looking over time, it's taller and broader now. I wonder if there's any real relationship between the two memes and if it's problematic to use it only in the character design sense. And tbh, if any adult wants to pursue him, I'd call them a weirdo to put it the lightest, bc this dude actually looks like a child
I worked in supplements for years. Stinging nettles and quercetin are typically used for allergy relief. Never heard of either being used for anti-aging. Nettles can provide immediate relief of allergy symptoms and can be great for anyone that has trouble taking Benadryl or Claritin. It’s also a strong diuretic and you must hydrate when taking it. You certainly shouldn’t take nettles if you’re already on diuretics for blood pressure and shouldn’t take them regularly. This influencer is a hack and it pains me to see people hawking these products as though everyone should take them.
If the average person is unable to make a safe and informed decision on whether of not the products he sells are effective or harmful, they shouldn't be sold. Brandon is not a dermatologist or nutritionist, nor does he have any qualification which allows him to give us any information on the products on his page. Of course, we should all do our own research on anything we put in or on our body, selling products you aren't qualified to sell is extremely dangerous for consumers and possibly illegal for him
Twink death is not caused by age , I wish ppl learned (conventionally)*beauty* privilege or lookism is a double edge sword. Calling it "pretty privilege" can make easily turn into a sexist issue. Not few men as not few women benefit from looking according to current beauty standards.
I think there's very little anyone should do really. The rest is capitalism. Maybe vitamin c lotion maybe not. Definitely lotion. Like Bill Burr 😅 after his wife called him ashy. I started using SPF 20 most mornings cause I got dry skin anyways and it feels just like lotion. 30 and 50 feels too oily.
can you elaborate? first time i’m hearing of this sponsor or being more aware of it, i have seen sponsorships on other channels for similar products but by other brands
okay, so the brothers grim stories are missing a lot of context in their westernized disney-itized form. most of the time when theres a protagonist with a beauty standard complex, something bad happens to them and most of the time the morral of the story isnot to take your looks for granted. or thats how i interperate the original stories
I don’t understand his choice in clothing and that hair cut geez at least his shirt isn’t 2 sizes too small and he doesn’t look like a pack of hotdogs about tonsils at the seams.
I mean. There's SPF 50 and vampire Behavior, sure. That's overkill. I have dry skin. Started using SPF 20 in the morning, doesn't feel as sticky as 50. Just a lil base protection. Maybe Keanu did that? But. I mean.also genes.
Most people are sedentary, obese and do not exercise. But yes we always hyperfixate on people who care about their looks. He has also explained anti aging is about enjoying life longer. It's about extending your health. It's odd to pretend that a youthful body isn't healthier. An aging body is normally breaking down and there's nothing wrong with wanting to extend your health and abilities
look nobodys gonna be a sexy twink on their middle age without locking themselves in a vat of aging cream. this is obvs a beauty obsession when you cross the threshold of "health"
There is wanting your body to be as healthy, spry and strong as possible and then there is wanting my face and body to stay permanently looking at most 25yr at any cost.
I've always despised the "twink death" meme because it's literally just, shaming people for aging? I find it interesting how much our generation complains about beauty standards and pretty privilege then contributes to it casually through stuff like this. It's time to wise up and realize that aging is natural and will happen to all of us, and that's okay.

“Can I make beauty stay if I take my life?”

If my kid was doing this I’d have him in therapy
I feel like I'm kinda stuck in being a twink in personality and height, leaning heavily into feminine interests and standing at a grand 5'5 last I checked, but being what the bear community would refer to as an Ewok. Doesn't help that I'm also a long-haired transmasc so being as curvaceous as I am means that people often get the wrong idea when I'm feeling confident and dress femininely and/or colourfully. I feel like if I didn't have this extra weight I'd maybe pass a lot easier, even at my most fabulous... It's a struggle trying to love my body, especially as I have to make progress with losing the weight for medical reasons.
You’re what the community would call a woman.
Lost 20-25 lbs twice with just restriction n cardio. Third time lost 50 ( years in between all, no 🪃)and that was easier. Protein and veggies for carbs. Both very filling. Lots and lots of protein. 120-220 g each day
I gotta agree with this video. I've watched Bryan's video on his supplement routine and one of the esssential oil supplements he takes is borage oil, but this ingredient doesn't have consistent studies on its benefits and can have a few unwanted side effects like stomach upset and hormonal disruption. So we can't all just take other people's supplement gummies outines at face value.
I’m a victim of the much worse bear death
I had no idea this was a thing outside of the art community and was really confused upon seeing this video at first. I'd only seen it as a meme to show evolution in characters as artists learn how to draw different body types and character design elements over time. I've joked about one of my OCs having a "twink death" bc I made it more masculine-looking over time, it's taller and broader now. I wonder if there's any real relationship between the two memes and if it's problematic to use it only in the character design sense. And tbh, if any adult wants to pursue him, I'd call them a weirdo to put it the lightest, bc this dude actually looks like a child
I worked in supplements for years. Stinging nettles and quercetin are typically used for allergy relief. Never heard of either being used for anti-aging. Nettles can provide immediate relief of allergy symptoms and can be great for anyone that has trouble taking Benadryl or Claritin. It’s also a strong diuretic and you must hydrate when taking it. You certainly shouldn’t take nettles if you’re already on diuretics for blood pressure and shouldn’t take them regularly. This influencer is a hack and it pains me to see people hawking these products as though everyone should take them.
If the average person is unable to make a safe and informed decision on whether of not the products he sells are effective or harmful, they shouldn't be sold. Brandon is not a dermatologist or nutritionist, nor does he have any qualification which allows him to give us any information on the products on his page. Of course, we should all do our own research on anything we put in or on our body, selling products you aren't qualified to sell is extremely dangerous for consumers and possibly illegal for him
This is like saying don't exercise or eat because you'll die anyway
Twink death is not caused by age , I wish ppl learned (conventionally)*beauty* privilege or lookism is a double edge sword.
Calling it "pretty privilege" can make easily turn into a sexist issue. Not few men as not few women benefit from looking according to current beauty standards.
I'm deciding henceforth that you can be a twink even if you're 'old' it's literally vibes.
If older women can be pretty so can older men
In general I'm sick in my mouth of how toxic we are to people affiliated with femininity in any way regarding this.
Men aren't doing nearly enough to stay young looking
I think there's very little anyone should do really. The rest is capitalism. Maybe vitamin c lotion maybe not. Definitely lotion. Like Bill Burr 😅 after his wife called him ashy. I started using SPF 20 most mornings cause I got dry skin anyways and it feels just like lotion. 30 and 50 feels too oily.
I can't wait for Aura to be exposed
can you elaborate? first time i’m hearing of this sponsor or being more aware of it, i have seen sponsorships on other channels for similar products but by other brands
Oh no, what’s wrong with them?!
Me and all the other Asian aunties on this tip too lol
okay, so the brothers grim stories are missing a lot of context in their westernized disney-itized form. most of the time when theres a protagonist with a beauty standard complex, something bad happens to them and most of the time the morral of the story isnot to take your looks for granted. or thats how i interperate the original stories
Women try this to I never bothered my damaged gums made me just stop caring my teeth going to fall out at some point anyway but not a feminine man
You should’ve referenced more tiktokers/youtubers not just one
I don’t understand his choice in clothing and that hair cut geez at least his shirt isn’t 2 sizes too small and he doesn’t look like a pack of hotdogs about tonsils at the seams.
Too much comfort will kill you
If you’re under 40 I don’t care how young you look lol
I wanna know how Keanu Reaves stayed so young looking
I mean. There's SPF 50 and vampire Behavior, sure. That's overkill. I have dry skin. Started using SPF 20 in the morning, doesn't feel as sticky as 50. Just a lil base protection. Maybe Keanu did that? But. I mean.also genes.
bruh just take some E and get key hole surgery at that point 💀 its gotta be easier than this shit
Hi 'Lil Grande ❤
I'm sorry, but what's the point of not aging if your face is not serving
Most people are sedentary, obese and do not exercise. But yes we always hyperfixate on people who care about their looks. He has also explained anti aging is about enjoying life longer. It's about extending your health. It's odd to pretend that a youthful body isn't healthier. An aging body is normally breaking down and there's nothing wrong with wanting to extend your health and abilities
But there is healthy approach and obsessive approach.
look nobodys gonna be a sexy twink on their middle age without locking themselves in a vat of aging cream. this is obvs a beauty obsession when you cross the threshold of "health"
Not healthy to expect your body to stay the same shape and size as it was in your tween to teen years
There is wanting your body to be as healthy, spry and strong as possible and then there is wanting my face and body to stay permanently looking at most 25yr at any cost.
Wow! I'm in a minority, after all!😂😮
😮💀😄☠️ Come to think of it, my anti-aging products are slowly allowing me to die daily.
why did i think he was sketch
