If you've listened to Justin Bieber's new song "Yummy", you might be wondering... why/how is JB still famous?? In this video, I discuss why Justin's desperate push to get his song Yummy to #1 is problematic, and I also lay out every other Bieber scandal including his racist videos, his rudeness towards his fans, and run-ins with the law. The opinions expressed in this video are... opinions, so let me know if you agree, disagree, or want me to cover someone/something in particular for my next video!
We've all heard the news about Meghan and Harry stepping back from their royal duties. However, news sources did not seem to be adequately describing the REAL reasons why Meghan and Harry left the UK. In this video, I discuss why the royal couple's departure isn't as surprising as it might seem, conduct a side by side comparison of how Meghan and other royals are treated in the media, and explain why her leaving might have saved her the fate of Princess Diana. The opinions expressed in this video are... opinions, so let me know if you agree, disagree, or want me to cover someone/something in particular for my next video!
Though the Super Bowl halftime show performance was undeniably impressive, in this video we examine Jennifer Lopez's history of lip syncing and plagiarizing black artists, and why that should have inclined her to perhaps stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick by boycotting the NFL. The opinions expressed in this video are... opinions, so let me know if you agree, disagree, or want me to cover someone/something in particular for my next video!
Hi everyone!! A lot of people accuse Lizzo of promoting obesity, and in this video I address some of the most common complaints against her and give my opinion on Lizzo. I also speak on the body positivity and fat acceptance movements as they relate to Lizzo and her music. And of course, I couldn't leave out her infamous Lakers Game appearance. The opinions expressed in this video are… opinions, so feel free to agree or disagree with me in the comments!
Hi everyone!! Blackfishing is a phenomenon that I've been seeing a lot on Instagram, YouTube and in real life, so I wanted to make a video on Ariana Grande and whether she could be considered a blackfish. The opinions expressed in this video are… opinions, so feel free to agree or disagree with me in the comments! And also let me know who/what you want me to cover next!
Hi everyone!! So I recently watched Vanessa Hudgens' insensitive comments on her Instagram Live about the current pandemic, and I wanted to give my thoughts on celebrities and how the rich and famous are going through this pandemic very differently from regular people. I also included examples like the NBA (Rudy Gobert) and Gal Gadot's "Imagine" compilation. The opinions expressed in this video are… opinions, so feel free to agree or disagree with me in the comments, and let me know who/what you want me to cover next!
Given the recent reports of black people (specifically Africans) in China being subjected to racism, abuse, and unjust eviction from their homes, I wanted to take a look back at Trump's use of the phrase "Chinese virus", sinophobia against Asian people during this crisis, and the lack of attention that has been given to the plight of African people in Guangzhou.
In this video, I talk about pretty privilege and why being attractive is often advantageous in one’s career/life, as well as examine specific instances of pretty privilege and how it can often cancel out cancel culture, pun intended. We’ll cover Draya Michele’s child endangerment case, the “Prison Bae'' phenomenon/Jeremy Meeks, Chase Hudson (aka Lil Huddy) and his N-word scandal (ft. Emmuhlu), and lastly Kim Kardashian’s various scandals. The point I hope to make is that pretty privilege or attractiveness is often a safeguard against being “cancelled” in the traditional sense.
Hi!! Today I'll be talking about cancel culture, analyzing its pros and cons and explaining why I think it can sometimes be ineffective when we want to hold celebrities accountable for their actions. I'll be exploring several case studies like Jussie Smollett, R Kelly, Kevin Spacey, and Bill Cosby on one hand, as well as James Charles, Louis C.K., Chris Brown and Kanye on the other. Let me know what you think about this topic!!
In this video, I talk about Adele's recent weight loss controversy that sparked from an Instagram picture she posted in which she looked slimmer than we've ever seen her. This prompted very heated discussions about fatphobia on several social media platforms, so in this video I convey my views on the topic, and also about fatphobia in general as well as the "revenge body" phenomenon.
In this video, I talk about a few toxic trends that I’ve observed on TikTok, specifically several aspects of “dark humor”, simp culture, sexism, and racism. I also discuss the hate targeted towards Charli D'Amelio, as well as people on the platform being praised or glorified unnecessarily, and finish with an analysis of the TikTok algorithm and why this platform tends to be more toxic than others like Instagram and Twitter.

In this video, I talk about what I call the “Karen Effect” and its intersections with ageism and sexism. Should Karens be as demonized as they are? Should the Central Park Karen even be referred to as a Karen at all, or is she something more insidious? We’ll cover BBQ Becky, Permit Patty, Corner store Caroline, and Central Park Karen to get to the bottom of this!
In this video, I talk about Nicki Minaj’s choice to collaborate for a third time with Tekashi 6ix9ine, a man with a very VERY problematic past, on their new track Trollz. Her professional relationship with Tekashi 6ix9ine as well as her marriage to registered s*x offender Kenneth Petty has a lot of fans questioning Nicki’s choices. Today I’ll unpack Nicki’s pattern of condoning and excusing s**ual criminals. Let me know what you think down in the comments!
In this video, I talk about public shaming/doxxing on social media platforms and how it affects regular folks like you and me. Is it ethical? Should we be going to such lengths to hold people accountable just because they said, did, or posted something offensive? Or is this public shaming an effective way to make sure that bigoted people don’t progress any further in our society to positions of power? We'll be looking at examples like Justine Sacco, Lindsey Stone, and Tayler Phillips. Let me know what you think down in the comments!

Hey everyone! As much as we all want Santa Bezos to come bless us this Christmas season, let’s talk about what exactly the ultra-rich owe us and society as a whole. Do they have an ethical responsibility to pay it forward? Let’s discuss!!!
