The "Fat" Girl: Bridgerton To Early 2000's Chick Flicks

I just watched season three of Bridgerton and it sent me down a rabbit hole of the history of fatshaming, ongoing fat jokes and double standards in the media and even early 2000's rom coms like Bridget Jones' Diary, the Devil Wears Prada and Love Actually.

The Demonization of Cole Turner in Charmed
This movie was never a problem with me when I watched this as a tween and it's never been problem when my family watches it. It's really relatable when it comes to be an "eldest daughter" syndrome. My older sister and I can relate since we're the oldest in the family with a 2 Younger siblings and our youngest sisters. My mother had to work hard being the widower. So this movie helps to learn to take care of your self and voice your feelings it makes a Big difference. My little sister loves it since she see herself in Tess and understand older siblings issues. It's ridiculous they said this movie wasn't good.
I just wonder if she didn't have a big chest would she be as popular or get many roles. Even with her being a producer in Immaculate film she found some way to show her breast. A movie about nuns for christ sake.
Maxxie and Anwar's episode makes me so upset. I think because while I think Anwar is a dick, I understand him. He's the type of character that seems shallow if you've never lived in a similar society or community as him. I understand his religious guilt. I've seen people like him in real life, I see people like that all the time.
For morality reasons Elena while not a person of virtue not even close was still much better then The Salvatore Fam Aside from Zach, Mikealson Sibling Fam aside from Hope, Katherine, Amara, Silas, Kai, Inadu, Marcel, Lucien, Aurora, Tristan, Noah, Tyler, Caroline, The Necromancer, Isobel, John, And many more aside from Jeremy, Jenna, Meredith, Alaric, Liz, Carol, Matt, Bonnie, And Tom yeah.
Talk about my immortal pls
The only thing ill agree with present jk rowling is that "its common sense to know dracos a bad person and not hiding a heart of gold"
It’s just so stupid they didn’t make Aria A . If you give clues they’re sometimes just so obvious, you have to consider that many people will guess right. They should have stick to that idea instead of always wanting to outsmart the fandom. Introducing a new character in the last episode as the villain seems a bit lazy to me 🤷🏼♀️
Lorelai actually told Rory that having an affair with Logan is way sluttier than having a one night stand. It wasn’t as big of a speech as why she shouldn’t have slept with Dean, but she did not approve of the affair with Logan.
It is definitely a balancing act wanting an exciting character vs. a moral character. I admittedly enjoyed the later seasons more, but at the same time, how devastated would most of our lives be if they collided with Rory’s in the later season. The school drop out crisis is relatable, but most of us find someone who would sleep with our husband as a devastating human being. Being entertained by a show and having someone do these things in real life are two totally different things. I feel the Palladinos didn’t create proper lines between protagonists and their moral boundaries.
I didn’t know Renée Zellweger was an established actress who had to put on weight for Bridget Jones until years later. I’m glad I missed out on the debate, because I genuinely thought she was just an unknown actress with her body type, being insecure about her weight (who, as a woman, isn’t), and that it’s kinda sorta played for laughs - I mean, she’s gorgeous. I genuinely thought it was a “Look at this beautiful woman, even she’s got insecurities!”-moment. But there are plenty few scenes of very skinny characters weighing themselves and losing their minds over it, apart from the not-played-for-laughs anorexic characters. It’s one of the two, when realistically speaking, pretty much all of us have been standing on our scales with at least some trepidation. Hollywood’s not doing women’s bodies any favours
Ok so just found this video and wanted to drop my take on all of this: After watching Season 4, 5 ,6 and 7 had some ideas on how they could have made it juicier (not better but juicer) 1. I was kinda hoping that the show would put a spin on the frozen plotline (like they did with all the other stories) because originally Elsa was supposed to be a villain in the Disney movie but it was because of the 'Let it Go' song that they made it into a movie about 'sister love' so it would be so cool if OUAT made Elsa the villain she was supposed to be . Also the 'Queens of Darkness' and the Lilly plotline..wasted potential 2. Gharam should have been in the underworld (it really made me mad that he never came back...every other character came back at some point but Gharam). I don't think he and Emma were 'true love', the kiss between them showed Emma's 'saviour powers' because she is the saviour and the key to breaking the curse...he kissed her and his memories returned. Also Gharam played a key role in Emma trusting again because of what Neal did to her she just stopped trusting men... But regardless he should have been the underworld and he should have been sheriff (I didn't like how they did the broken sibling dynamic between James and David I've already seen that multiple times and I didn't want to see it again). Gharam should have been sheriff and it would have been cool to see him try to unalive Regina because he would be so angry and he would be angry at Emma and Charmings for forgiving Regina (obviously the only reason they forgave Regina in the first place was because she was Henry's adoptive mother and they could not be her enemy forever). But Gharam played a very important role in the Charmings love story the reason he became Regina's slave for 28+ years was because he helped the Charmings... obviously given how the show is obsessed with redemption in the end Gharam would get some version of 'happy ending' and Regina would be forgiven... Also it would have been funny to see Killian sense a vibe between Emma and Gharam and get jealous and then Emma would comfort Killian and tell him she is not in love with Gharam but he was the first guy she ever trusted after getting her heart broken by Neal 3. I hate how they wrote off Robin Hood's son Roland off the show, that kid is the cutest kid I have ever seen in TV History, I have never seen a more adorable kid in any TV show. In Season 6 when they focused again on the whole 'Saviour' plotline.. Instead of having Gideon and The Black Fairy, it should have been Roland and The Evil Queen...because if they were going to make a kid grow up in a different realm and come back as a Villian it should have Roland because at least with him we would understand the anger and be a little attached the character... i see Roland growing up with a lot of anger in his heart because a) he would be mad at Zalena for the fact that she SAed his dad... and named the child that they had out of SA after Robin Hood!!!! b) he would be mad at Emma because if they didn't go to the underworld to save Hook Robin would still be alive c) If you really think about it if Robin did not fall in love with Regina he would be a regular citizen in Storybrooke and still be alive so I kinda Roland being resentful towards Regina as well d) if you think about this from a kid's pov Robin was always away on 'hero missions' that we never really got to see Roland and Robin together on screen after Season 3 so I kinda see Roland being petty about that as well. e) Also it would have been so cool to see a hero's child be a villain... like we see a hero child being a hero or villain's child being a villain.. but I don't think OUAT has done the whole Hero's child turns into a VIllian twist!!! And see Roland taunting Regina something like "Really Regina you're going to unalive me.. what would my dad think?" and it would have brought so much more tension to the group because Regina knew this kid...she loved this kid... Gideon on the other hand was the son of Rumple and Belle and at this point they were very much side characters and not a part of the main group.. so it didn't really affect them much. Roland would have played around with Regina's moral compass. Coming to the point where instead of The Black Fiary it should have been the Evil Queen because it made more sense to mee that the person who cast the curse was on the opposite side of The Final Battle.. and I would like to think that since The Evil Queen was inside of Regina that she would have fond memories of Robin Hood and for that reason she would help Roland 4. I don't like how Henry ended up with Cinderella in S7 (or a new version of Cinderella ) I always imagined Henry ending up with an ex-villain because his family is filled with ex villains.. people saw the chemistry between Henry and Drizella which I also saw but it would have been cooler if he ended up with a new ex-civilian character or at least someone who had a lot more spunk to them...because Henry was such a good person such 'Hero' VIBES and I always saw him end up with someone with a lot more edge
Unpopular opinion I like the books better
Oh Miss Serena, I think it really is a double edged sword. On one hand, I'm sure it does suck to be typecast and treated as a one dimensional sex object (complete with haters and creepers). On the other, pretty privilege is real and she can set foot in doors that "unsexy" women can't. Just my take as an openly straight man, thanks for this.
Are you going to make videos on Season 7 & 8???
The reason a lot of women, mostly average women( i dont say average in a negative way, im average too, we can all find someone that looks at us like a ten) envy beautiful women like Sydney it's because they feel their relationships are threatened by this women. They feel that all men want a woman like Sidney so they feel ugly, insecure and most importantly, they feel like they will never find love and the attention that they want from their men because they don't look like that. They feel like they will never mesure up and that they will always come behind. And it's also about our ego, because we see that beautiful women are complimented, loved and desired. But of courde thats just one side of the coin. I understand that they also receive negative affection and that love isnt just about the physicality of someone but also about the inner self.
This show is the d*mbest show ever 😂 when I watched it as a teenager I remember being so into it lol but the whole thing it’s just so d*mb lol it’s the same old game, gets boring 🥱 it’s not even believable anymore not even in a sense of it being a tv show.
Nolan is my favorite character by far He Rocks
Season 3 after Daniel shot Emily and she's still wanting to be with him I'm just so done after that waiting patiently because I wanted to see her get her revenge but so disappointed with the writers
I’ve watched this and knocked up soooo many times
I hated Greg. Lol
I totally get your point about Sydney, it’s totally valid. But Marilyn Monroe is not a good example to compare her too cause unlike Sydney, Marilyn did make an effort to sexualize herself and be a sex symbol. Just wanted to point that out.
Untell I got pregnant I would be 80- 100 lbs . Then after my c section. I went from 188 to 130 lbs. So some people can eat like a crazy person. And the only type of exercise I really do besides not taking care of my daughter is walking. And they walk around town all the time. For my hight I should be 140-145lbs for normally
I'm kind of conflicted about this video. I think you touched on some very valid points--women are often hypersexualized despite them just trying to exist. However, this pertains to your average woman; when it comes to celebrities, I think you are underestimating just how calculated the entertainment industry is. When Sydney is literally busting out of her dress, I think it's naive to assume that it is because she can't find clothes that fit properly, she's not aware of what she's doing, etc. This could be the case with you, or other women like you who aren't being examined from all angles 24/7, but almost certainly does not apply to Sydney. As you said, she's a bright woman--she (and her team) would almost certainly KNOW exactly how she's being perceived by the public, its their entire job. The fact is, when a young, beautiful woman is literally BUSTING out of her dress, it is very appealing to men, and she plays this up. Which is fine, she should get her bag. But I don't think we should treat her as though she is just any average person who is just trying to live with huge boobs.
@SerenaSkybourne completely unrelated to this video can you do a video essay about Garham and Emma as a couple from OUAT, or maybe Garham as a character watching clips for OUAT and I can't stop thinking about Garham and how he was killed off just for Regina's benefit, it felt like the writers didn't know how to deal with the "Regina made Garham a slave and SAed him" they didn't want the audience to hate on Regina...so they never talked about it and never brought him back...not a different version of him, not even in the underworld episodes where every other dead character came back ....Garham did not come back, and it really made me angry, this man played a pivotal role in Snow and Charming's story and became the reason Emma started trusting again...also he was the first one in Storybrooke to wake up from curse...Garham is my OUAT ROMAN EMPIRRE! and I would love to hear your opinion on him
This is like the third Desperate Housewives video I’ve watched these past two months yet I refuse to watch the actual show. Can’t tell why.
I managed to - slowly and boringly - get through five of the books - I couldn't stand them. I absolutely loved the show and had I read the books first I would never have even thought about watching it.
Also, as someone who studied journalism last semester in college, a couple of things. An editor can sway the voice of an article. Ive been pressured into doing that too. Second, journalists are taught to invade people's privacy, which is why i left. Because it wasnt what i wanted so i changed majors. So I absolutely agree. It was kevin's decision to do that. He could have said no i want to maintain her privacy, but he only saw her a career opportunity until he saw the real person behind the article.
See the engagement party is right after the wedding dress scene. Honestly, it may be wrong. But Tess tearing up the dress even after knowing Jane wanted to wear it boils my blood and makes me wanna justify the engagement party scene.
Finally someone looking at the genius that is 27 dresses. I love to watch people see this movie for the first time.
I don't know how much the show reflects this, but the real Mary Queen of Scots had one of the most bleak, unimaginably depressing lives of any historical figure I have ever read about.
I disagree with you saying Bonnie made mistakes on leaving the vampires to die she only did so because they were the ones causing trouble. But I’m glad she did befriend Damon. She did no wrong ever. But loved the rest of your video!

i’m late to the game but i think another point to make is that when they were against Toby and Caleb, Toby it was understandable because he had motive, and Caleb was understandable because they were right, he was at first (albeit stopped before they found out but they did still find out) spying on Hanna for Jenna. Ezra was an older guy that didn’t know who any of them were (or so they thought, on a side note i think the ezra twist was stupidly handled) so he was a “safe” person it terms of who “A” was, which was taking up their whole lives at the time
Don't dislike Logan just because he comes from money, Rory comes from money herself. The show doesn't dive too deep into politics but it;s pretty clear Logan is a right-wing capitalist who flaunts his money over people & uses it to pay his way out of legal trouble, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never tried to work for anything, he just assumes Rory will fall at his feet, he's probably a fan of Ayn Rand, at least her political ideology. Jess on the other hand in Season 2 calls Ayn Rand a political nut, he's into the Beatniks & his bookstore collective suggests to me Jess is either a Socialist or an Anarchist, he's certainly to the left of Logan who seems like a laissez-faire capitalist & Dean who is certainly a social Conservative who's views are sometimes more in place in the 1950s. Rory herself seems like a run-off-the-mill liberal, her mom too.
I will never forgive them for assassinating orsons character fr like I get that a soap opera needs conflict but they didn’t need to do all that 😭😭😭
The problem is people do not how to appreciate beauty in a healthy way. (From Sydney Sweeney to Megan Fox and all the sex symbols of yore.) You've already explored the reasons why. The patriarchy has twisted our minds and skewed how we see things. We turn the simplest things into an offense, when there is none to begin with.
You just hate Jess. I'm a straight male, and I certainly didn't just like Jess because he was "hot". I liked how he understood & got Rory, and they understood each other's quips & pop culture & literary references. Yes, Jess, like Dean & Logan has his own troubled moments with Rory, such as when Jess gets frustrated at the party & takes his anger out on her, and while that behavior was not okay, I never felt like Jess would do anything to really hurt Rory, and when their together he still gives her space when she needs it, unlike Dean who thought Rory was supposed to be there to answer his every beck and call and whim like she was a housewife 1950s suburbia. Jess wrote a novel & dedicated the book to Rory. A married Dean slept with Rory & then dumped her, because she was damaged goods, Jess would have been perfect for Rory's first time, and they had been together the best part of a year, most 17-year-olds wouldn;t wait a month these days.
Let me start by saying that Sydney is an awesome person from interviews and her social media posts you can tell she's very down to earth or to use the famous Hollywood line - "Celebrities, they're just like us". Granted you can say that about the majority of the Euphoria cast. As a big "Euphoria" fan you can tell that yeah the show is "edgy" or "risque" but that's real life, and another thing about the cast is that they're playing basically their polar opposites on the show ( Zen playing a drug addict although she's got "The Disney good girl / " image, Sydney being over sexualized when irl she's basically a tomboy, Alexa being a mean girl when in all accounts she's super sweet , Although Gia's more quiet and off to the side bottling her feelings until she's at her breaking point, Storm's more vibrant/cheery , dancing and hanging with friends and all around outgoing (also JUSTICE FOR GIA STORYLINE) I'm pretty sure if Rue and the rest of them are like at least juniors/seniors (11th/12th grade ) at this point Gia would at least be in 9th going into 10th grade so we should at be seeing her interacting more with the "older kids" a lot more at this point or at least give her a group of Gen Z counterparts of the older cast ( an social media influencer , the emotionally damaged jock , the misunderstood sweet "hot girl" but she actually knows and actively uses it in ways Cassie wouldn't really do, then we could have Gia have a close friend who reminds her of Rue that she tries to look out for because she's seen what Rue's gone through but now she actually getting to see drug addiction on someone other than her sister. Be it a best friend character or love interest. Look JUST GIVE GIA A REAL STORYLINE. Sorry for my Euphoria rant. What I'm trying to say is that Sydney is a great actress beyond her Physically appearance (Hell her biggest moment on the show wasn't even a scene where she was nude..... AND WE CAN'T BE ANY MORE HAPPIER)
Jane is such a great character because she is a great person, that cares about people and her fault has been that she cares too much of other, she forgot about herself What i love about this movie is how Kevin, instead of taking advantage of her way of being like everyone had always done, he actually push her to stand up for herself The thing i also love that at the end, when all the brides that Jane had been bridesmaids were actually there, showing they did apreciatted Jane
A better way for Kevin and Jane to bond could've been through conspiring to write a scathing article about Tess. It would've worked threefold: 1.) Kevin would see how much Jane does for others and fall in with her spirit and kindness, he might also feel compelled to do things for her that she wouldn't ordinarily do for herself making her feel seen and appreciated. 2.) Jane would've had an outlet to unabashedly vent without having a public outburst. 3.) Tess could've come across a rough draft of the article and seen everything Jane does clearly in black and white giving her a perspective she didn't have before culminating in a much-needed heart-to-heart between sisters. The story, as it was meant to be written never sees the light of day, but instead, Kevin hands in a piece about redemption and honesty that's still fluffy but would move him away from the bridal content he so despises into other areas that would be more fulfilling for him. During her conversation with Jane, Tess realizes of her own accord, the consequences of holding things in and lying so she chooses to tell George everything of her own volition. He would still be mad and break up with her allowing her to feel the full weight of what her relationship meant to her and how badly she mucked things up. In the end, like the actual ending, George and Tess reunite at Kevin and Jane's wedding falling in love for real this time.
More than that, she is genuinely funny and seem really fun. Fun people are so rare in entertainment these days she really stands out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR USING YOUR PLATFORM TO CALL THIS OUT !
Whew all of this. 😂😂. Watching this is pissing me off all over again at the way Bonnie was treated 🤬
Lorelei is in my opinion the most mature character of the show, seeing what she does not what she says when she's using second degree humor. She is just not artificialy creating a serious aura around her to make people know she is so mature. She does not need no more to proove how mature she is, because she created more than most of the other people. Rory is a young woman that is not mature at all but makes people believe she is. I do not understand all the critical voices about Rory neither. She is just a young woman living experiences that make her grow up. Maybe the show ist a lot about Rory getting to know who her mother really is. As a person not as a mother.
Melissa Hasting must have extreme FOMO if she keeps on going to events that put her in an incriminating positions that she doesn’t know about 💀
I always wished for Mona to really become one of the Liars, although I knew it would never be the same kind of bond, I at least wish they included her more, when she acctually really tried her best to help them.
Lso thank you for the mental health part. As someone with Borderline personality disorder, we really don't need to be seen as villains :(
making marienne the hyperfixation for the second half of season 3 and then also for season 4 really made no sense to me. like he literally jumps on her because she's...nice to him? we don't get to go on this journey where he stalks her for longer and convinces himself that he's perfect for her and then he follows her to europe as well??? why??? because she was nice to you and also had been dealt a bad hand in life? like tell me why i should care please i'm not seeing the vision joe
The show runners could have used her “look” as a deflection tactic to make her seem “good” and vindicated even though she’s still who she’s always been
I think they wanted her to be such a good friend because she’s been through so much trauma that she needed a safe space… That said, I believe that the Allison we know would absolutely use that as a tool and not as truth.
I am so thankful Emily is a lesbian in the show. She was all i had as a kid
