It's absolutely insane to me that people think it's "fatphobic". She goes into how she struggles with an ED in her documentary Miss Americana. This is 100% about her own insecurities and struggles. I found this scene of her video relatable and knew exactly what she was conveying.
as a swiftie it is so upsetting considering all she has shared w us. she’s been so open with us and for people to react to her feelings like that is so heartbreaking for her.
Unfortunately, she’s just one of those celebs people love to hate (even other celebs). There’s always something they’re coming for her for. And I personally think she’s amazing and a literal ICON, right up there with the likes of people like Britney or even Say David Bowie (who I’m a HUGE fan of). And her music is LITERAL art. And people don’t like how she’s so versatile and unapologetic.
i’ve always been a taylor fan, my whole childhood i’ve loved her. i followed a lot of articles and videos regarding her eating disorder, and her weight problems. me personally, ive always been a bigger girl, my whole life i’ve dealt with body problems. i’ve personally dealt with an eating disorder. seeing taylor bring her insecurities into a music video and having the confidence to bring it to light, is a huge step for her. taylor has said that in that music video, she didn’t just put her insecurities into a video for no reason, she did it to show that no matter your body type, no matter your stuggle, you’re not alone. taylor’s whole career is for her fans.
it just comes to show that no matter who you are, where you came from, what you look like, you will ALWAYS be facing hate and criticism because of your fame. taylor has done lots of things that are controversial, but if she believes it’s right, let her be. if you do not like her or her decisions, then simply do not follow up on her life or listen to her music :)

"it is no individual's job, to make your life better. That is your responsibility" One of the best things you have said. More people should hear it. Personal take, as a middle aged Dad bod white guy. Taylor was never fat, but was often being told she was. So even if that scale read 99, she would still look down as see fat. I feel it is more a commentary about the media, with the air brushed "super models" that have been telling girls "Only this is beauty"
Eating disorders are mental illnesses. With anorexia, a girl or boy can literally be so thin you can see their ribs and hip bones jutting out and when they look in the mirror, they still see themselves as fat. It takes many many weeks, if not months or years, to successfully overcome an eating disorder.
There was a time when it seemed 90% of her friends were 16 BMI runway models back in 2014-2015. It's not too surprising it skewed her perception of what's normal.

btw I never understood why 99/100 lbs is the number that gets brandished around so much for how much a very slim woman would weigh. Like if you're 5'1" sure, but if you're Taylor Swift's height (5'10"?) weighing so little would be Auschwitz survivor level underweight... For her height, 18.5 BMI is 130 lbs and 25 BMI is 175 lbs.

Like imgaine how Taylor feels. She’s struggled so long with her body and the media comenting on it and she finally is comfortable to write a song about her insecurities and people go and make it about them because they didn’t like one stupid word.
@@ugotmejumpinlike You can be the richest person in the world, and still be very alone. Just cause she's wealthy doesn't mean she doesn't have any insercurities or mental illnesses.
I feel that society today is extremely selfish. Everything is about "me" nobody else's life, opinions or experiences matter, unless it makes "me" feel good about being "me". Everybody should think about "me" before saying or doing anything, in case it triggers "me". That's what we are teaching young people, and yet we still wonder why young adults and kids can't think of anybody else other than themselves. My cousin calls it "main character syndrome" how dare you not think of "me" before you do something with your own life.
Yea, and that’s why they have so many issues. When you make everything about yourself the amount of things that can damage you is unlimited. I’m rarely upset, rarely sad, rarely disappointed because I don’t make everything about me. You can straight up call me dumb, fat, ugly to my face & I’ll still think it says more about you than me.
Individualism and parenting feed into these narcissistic behaviours. People don't understand you don't have to be inclined towards collectivism to desire to foster a community that helps one another in their times of trouble. Individualism ignores a person's inherent social needs for a community, and complete disregards how a healthy society is run.
I’ve learned within the past several months I’m apparently VERY “fat phobic” 🤣I’m a former fat girl, lost 90lbs in high school, ended up developing an eating disorder, I still work out to keep from looking like that again (currently pregnant but still exercising to keep from gaining more weight than necessary), I was a personal trainer and fitness instructor before I became a SAHM to help others lose weight, and if I feel no motivation to workout one day I’ll see a significantly larger person and suddenly find that discipline. Sorry but I don’t want to live my life miserable and develop all kinds of health problems that are already very common in my family.
Yes Brett, THANK YOU. I’ve been trying to tell people this was a shot at media outlets and magazines for calling her “fat” after she gained a HEALTHY weight when she beat anorexia. You’re the first person that I’ve heard point this out as well.
The thing most don't understand about Taylor Swift, she suffers from Anxiety all the time, her crew actually carries a military form of Medical kits because Taylor is constantly in fear of getting shot after someone ( Christian Grimmie) was shot by a obsessed fan, she has so many fears and anxiety over being excepted including weight and image.
When I saw this moment in the video, I was shocked, but in a good way. I was so happy and so proud that she was being this honest. It breaks my heart for her that she couldn't be honest about her struggles and insecurities. I'm very disappointed that people are trying to police the way that she views her own body.
Right it’s so hard to talk about having an ED and I can’t imagine being famous and putting that out there to everyone because it’s sooo personal and vulnerable. If people weren’t so sensitive it could’ve been so good for other people struggling as well
I'm terrified of the scale. I gained a lot of weight after getting married and now I'm trying to get back to what I was before I got married. I'm working with my doctor and we started me on a weight loss program. It's been 4 weeks since I started and I feel so much better knowing that I'm working on myself. I have been so busy taking care of others it's now time to focus on me and my health!
In her song Lavender Haze, Taylor never say that being a 1950s housewife is oppressed. I think the song doesn't even have the word "housewife" in it. She posted a video explaining what Lavender Haze is about. It is about her being in love and wants to do absolutely everything to protect it because everyone can't leave her relationship alone. The media and also some of her fans always make assumptions, posts, or articles saying that Taylor and her boyfriend are engaged or already married. All those thing are probably damaging to the relationship itself. And the song Midnight Rain is about a past lover of hers that allegedly proposed but got turned down. So while I agree that the mv for Anti-Hero is HER story to tell and POV matters, I don't think it's fair that you made an assumption that Taylor thinks being a housewife is oppressed and called her a SJW because she removed the 'fat' scene from the mv.
When I had an eating disorder I drew a picture exactly like that and so much “worse” drawing what I felt helped so much. Guess I’m fat phobic for being open about body image issues😂🤷♀️
Whatever worked to get you to realise it was all in your own mind is the best thing anyway hey?. We are always our own best friends and worst enemies in life.
There is something to be said that even Taylor felt fat. So if you are/feel overweight you can point to this and say, "Wow, even my idol felt like how I feel, so I should look at myself and see my beauty as I see Taylor's. Maybe I am enough." Reframing it into something positive is very possible.
My one thing about this is she’s stating people expect her to appear as a 1950s house wife she’s just saying she’s not down for that kind of dynamic I don’t think that is a defeminizing thing to say
The way that I interpreted that clip in her music video is that other people (like the media) tell her that she’s fat, when she’s clearly never been overweight, and they try to use that label to shame her and hurt her mentally and emotionally. You can see that the “anti hero” is also looking down at the scale and shaking her head. If anything, it’s pro-fat people because it’s showing how people use the term “fat” to shame and be cruel, even towards people who aren’t actually fat/overweight.
3:25 brett oh no 😢 I think taylor swift was sending a great message cuz like if you have body image issues, thats the disease and losing weight only deals with a symptom. The better you look, the worse you will feel, so until you become happy with ur body, u will always step on a scale and see “fat.” Being happy with ur body and just working out for the feeling of being in tune with ur body is sooo much better
It's amazing how narcissistic these people are I'm a chubby guy I know it's unhealthy and the only one that can change that is me why cant these people be accountable for there actions
Most girls struggle with self-acceptance with or without others telling us that our weight is okay. What they think about us won't change our internal dialogue about it; we have to learn to work through our issues ourselves and decide whether to accept ourselves. But being shamed for not *wanting* to be overweight is no more helpful than shaming us for *being* overweight. Literally, what we feel about our bodies is not about anyone else.
Oh, I feel that. I know I'm fat or at least overweight but everyone around me including my bean pole of a boyfriend keep telling me I look fine. It's kinda frustrating, but I'm 50 pounds away from being 300. That's not okay for me specifically. Now, I don't have a belly that hangs over my legs, but I do have ugly cellulite that I can never get rid of on my thighs. Despite this, my bf still says I'm beautiful. I wish I could believe him, but his perspective and mine are different. I've literally told him not to be afraid to say something he thinks might offend me because I understand the truth hurts sometimes. He still doesn't tell me I'm overweight.
If the Kardashians express their weight struggles it’s either inspiring or relatable. Yet, when it comes from Taylor Swift it’s bc she’s playing a victim of an insecurity and struggle 🙄
Pleaaaaaaase release your reaction to the whole album!!! I'm a huge swiftie and at first really didn't like the songs🤔 but then listened to them again and really loved them❤️
I’m considered ‘thin’ or of a normal weight by most people but I suffer from an Ed and body dysmorphia. My body is the first thing I think about when I get up in the morning and the last thing I think about before falling asleep. These negative thoughts take up so much mental energy, and it’s honestly so exhausting. This scene felt very relatable to me and I’m sure many others. Just because someone is considered thin or attractive doesn’t by societal standards does not mean they aren’t struggling. Honestly this video really humanized Taylor. We need to see more of this not less!! I think it’s important for people to realize that celebrities are people too with real struggles. They are not perfect, and looking like one won’t automatically make you happy.
Also, cancel culture is absolutely ridiculous. Trying to cancel someone for having different experiences/opinions than you is tyrannical and undemocratic and goes against all American ideals.
Why do youtubers ask you to like the video before we've watched it... Like a chef asking the food critic to give them 5 stars before they've even tasted the food!
Hello, Sweet Lady. :o) I hope you're well. Wow, I didn't think I could care less about getting along with these people than I already did, but I was wrong again! My gosh, nothing pleases these people at all. They're absolutely ridiculous. And society is operating on the absurd idea that we all have to cater to the angst of these perpetually offended mental midgets. I've had enough. Anyway, Brett, I hope you have a great evening, and God bless. Have a blessed day tomorrow. Oh, and one other thing: you took ballet? I have a close friend who was born in Serbia and who was a ballerina, and she showed me how she could stand, walk, and dance on the tips of her toes. . I'm just curious...are you able to do that? That always blows my mind when I see girls do it! 😊😊
my mom is actually overweight (i dont like calling people overweight or fat- this feels rude to say) and she has a eating disorter. She defintaily is NOT fatphobic. She is a really sweet and kind person. how dare people say having a eating disorter is fatphobic. (sorry for the mis-spells)
I hate people. We let murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and racists walk around just fine. So why are we attacking Taylor? She’s one of the most real celebrities out there. Taylor has openly shared with us her struggles with her eating disorder. She said something along the lines “I get triggered by looking at photos of myself daily, and I’ll start to spiral. I did this the other day, and had to stop myself. I had to tell myself “no, stop. It’s better to look plump and happy than sick and sad.”
after binge watching your shorts and videos it helped me realize how stupid i sounded as a "social justice warrior" and your videos have actually helped me see new points of views on different topics! love your videos!
I'm not a Pop fan, but it's pretty easy to see everyone in the world would look at her with adoration, and despite that, she's unhappy with her own self-image to the point where it's unhealthy. Its a really important statement on self-esteem. These people need to realize that self-acceptance is a healing message, and not something designed to trigger them.
And they sneer at religious people. If there's no heaven ok but atleast I didn't spend my life worshiping an important celebrity who doesn't know I exist nor gives a single shit about me
Their argument is so stupid, Taylor was just trying to show how her eating disorder was, and she did it the best way she could in a MUSIC VIDEO- like, what would you have preferred she'd done, cut off to say "hey I have an eating disorder and this is how I feel when I step on a scale" in the middle of the video??
anti hero is literally about her insecurities, if you watch her Miss Americana documentary she goes to say how she struggled with an ED and her recovery… her stepping onto the scale is simply how MOST people feel when stepping on a scale and simply how she felt during her recovery… this is simply about her insecurities, not about her being fatphobic
Brett, I recently found your channel and I am loving this! You are actually thinking like a rational human being. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep up the good work. ❤
Dude these lyrics spoke so much to me. (That MV, but also in another song she directly mentions starving her body). When I dealt with my ED, that’s exactly what I saw… and I was 5’7 @ 100 pounds. Am at a healthy 120 pounds (mostly muscle, not fat) now but it’s still a struggle when you’re at a family party 😂 The wildest thing is remembering those memories from before and how distorted your body looked in the mirror. Cus even though I weight 20 pounds more now, viewing myself at 100 pounds looked so FAT. It was like I was hallucinating or something. It made no sense. Truly sucks people need to take take offense at such a sincere and harrowing message Taylor Swift put in her music that she had to take it down.
When I hear phobia I think of something that will make you run the other way. Like arachnaphobia. I don't see anyone having these reactions when they see fat people and don't understand why we use these extreme labels when people just don't want to be fat. It's not a problem to want to be a healthy size for your height.
Imma just say it, most people on the internet and social media are snowflakes. It used to be all jokes and people helping others out but now it's just people getting offended over nothing.
she's literally not talking about others issues shes talking about something SHE struggled with because SHE felt about herself people need to stop making this about themself
She literally just visualized what almost all people feel when stepping on a scale
Exactly!!!
not almost all but absolutely plenty yes
It’s not 2010 anymore😬 that message doesn’t fly in this climate.
Not me. When i step on a scale I'm devastated that I don't weigh 210 LBS.
I don’t need a scale for that. I have a seven year old. 😂 kids.
As someone whose lost 100 lbs, I can assure you that Taylor putting the word FAT on a scale would in no way change the way I feel/felt about myself
Super happy for you awesome way to go
way to go for the hard and disciplined work!!

Like imgaine how Taylor feels. She’s struggled so long with her body and the media comenting on it and she finally is comfortable to write a song about her insecurities and people go and make it about them because they didn’t like one stupid word.
I was cheering for the disorder to win she looked better and could've died it was win win
@@ugotmejumpinlike You can be the richest person in the world, and still be very alone. Just cause she's wealthy doesn't mean she doesn't have any insercurities or mental illnesses.
I feel that society today is extremely selfish. Everything is about "me" nobody else's life, opinions or experiences matter, unless it makes "me" feel good about being "me". Everybody should think about "me" before saying or doing anything, in case it triggers "me". That's what we are teaching young people, and yet we still wonder why young adults and kids can't think of anybody else other than themselves. My cousin calls it "main character syndrome" how dare you not think of "me" before you do something with your own life.
Yea, and that’s why they have so many issues. When you make everything about yourself the amount of things that can damage you is unlimited. I’m rarely upset, rarely sad, rarely disappointed because I don’t make everything about me. You can straight up call me dumb, fat, ugly to my face & I’ll still think it says more about you than me.
I would just call that enforced narcissism if a parent or teacher tells or shows children this behavior is okay.
Individualism and parenting feed into these narcissistic behaviours. People don't understand you don't have to be inclined towards collectivism to desire to foster a community that helps one another in their times of trouble. Individualism ignores a person's inherent social needs for a community, and complete disregards how a healthy society is run.
I’ve learned within the past several months I’m apparently VERY “fat phobic” 🤣I’m a former fat girl, lost 90lbs in high school, ended up developing an eating disorder, I still work out to keep from looking like that again (currently pregnant but still exercising to keep from gaining more weight than necessary), I was a personal trainer and fitness instructor before I became a SAHM to help others lose weight, and if I feel no motivation to workout one day I’ll see a significantly larger person and suddenly find that discipline. Sorry but I don’t want to live my life miserable and develop all kinds of health problems that are already very common in my family.
Good for you! You've accomplished what millions of people wish they could.
Work hard, train smart. You're gona make it! And congrats on your bodybuilding (baby)💪
You can't have rational conversations with irrational people.
Saw the music video and when I saw the fat seen, I felt it was so relatable, and appreciated Taylor being honest about her own body issues
@Martin 1222 I didn't say she was an honest person, I said she was being honest about her body issues
I am sick and tired of hearing about peoples sexuality and body issues. Enough is enough.
@@cleopatra1633 exactly
Yes Brett, THANK YOU. I’ve been trying to tell people this was a shot at media outlets and magazines for calling her “fat” after she gained a HEALTHY weight when she beat anorexia. You’re the first person that I’ve heard point this out as well.
Poor Taylor was jst trying to be open about her insecurities and got canceled for no reason 😭
The thing most don't understand about Taylor Swift, she suffers from Anxiety all the time, her crew actually carries a military form of Medical kits because Taylor is constantly in fear of getting shot after someone ( Christian Grimmie) was shot by a obsessed fan, she has so many fears and anxiety over being excepted including weight and image.
I'm losing track of all my phobias, I feel like I should list them in my twitter bio to remind myself.
i feel the same way expect with all these sexualities.
Brett=Smart and insanely beautiful😍
Two levels of attractiveness
simp
Some people have waaay too much time on their hands....imagine wasting time worrying about a word Taylor Swift put in a music video.
It’s SO performative!🤢
They have an easy life. Millenial & Gen-Z in the West get it good. Too good. They have so little to whine about, so they make shit up to whine about.
@MickeytheGoose Good point😅
When I saw this moment in the video, I was shocked, but in a good way. I was so happy and so proud that she was being this honest. It breaks my heart for her that she couldn't be honest about her struggles and insecurities. I'm very disappointed that people are trying to police the way that she views her own body.
Right it’s so hard to talk about having an ED and I can’t imagine being famous and putting that out there to everyone because it’s sooo personal and vulnerable. If people weren’t so sensitive it could’ve been so good for other people struggling as well
I'm terrified of the scale. I gained a lot of weight after getting married and now I'm trying to get back to what I was before I got married. I'm working with my doctor and we started me on a weight loss program. It's been 4 weeks since I started and I feel so much better knowing that I'm working on myself. I have been so busy taking care of others it's now time to focus on me and my health!
“She put ‘fat’ into a music video”
My mind: *starts singing “Fat” by Weird Al
😂 the nostalgia..the days when you could speak…the days when there was laughter and fun.
oh my God I remember the music video to that haha
I just listened to that song it’s so funny
Could you imagine if weird al released that song today???? Ooooooh boy, he'd be public enemy #1
Very funny song and video.
I was told I only had an eating disorder because I was “inherently” fatphobic 👍🏻
Wow.
Kids at school are gonna lose their minds lol
In her song Lavender Haze, Taylor never say that being a 1950s housewife is oppressed. I think the song doesn't even have the word "housewife" in it. She posted a video explaining what Lavender Haze is about. It is about her being in love and wants to do absolutely everything to protect it because everyone can't leave her relationship alone. The media and also some of her fans always make assumptions, posts, or articles saying that Taylor and her boyfriend are engaged or already married. All those thing are probably damaging to the relationship itself. And the song Midnight Rain is about a past lover of hers that allegedly proposed but got turned down. So while I agree that the mv for Anti-Hero is HER story to tell and POV matters, I don't think it's fair that you made an assumption that Taylor thinks being a housewife is oppressed and called her a SJW because she removed the 'fat' scene from the mv.
Apparently these stupid days anything realistic is seen as 'pHoBiC'
When I had an eating disorder I drew a picture exactly like that and so much “worse” drawing what I felt helped so much. Guess I’m fat phobic for being open about body image issues😂🤷♀️
Whatever worked to get you to realise it was all in your own mind is the best thing anyway hey?. We are always our own best friends and worst enemies in life.
Aww dang her new album JUST came out she was on a rise😭 media is the reason we can’t have nice things
Fr 😢
You could say, "This is Why we Can't Have Nice Things" hehe
I was so glad and happy that there were far more talented artists releasing new stuff this year I thought musically 2022 was going to suck
@@wendyokoopa7048 music has been terrible for 10 years.
"this is why we cant have nice things" reference? or was that unintended lol
If these people would just step out of there self induced safe spaces and realize not everything is about them…
There is something to be said that even Taylor felt fat. So if you are/feel overweight you can point to this and say, "Wow, even my idol felt like how I feel, so I should look at myself and see my beauty as I see Taylor's. Maybe I am enough." Reframing it into something positive is very possible.
My one thing about this is she’s stating people expect her to appear as a 1950s house wife she’s just saying she’s not down for that kind of dynamic I don’t think that is a defeminizing thing to say
facts like w joe and everything ppl wanted her to settle down and marry him
after your loosing me, she def wanting to marry him but he just never popped the question
Fav channel. Love your perception on these topics .
My mother died due to complications from obesity. Everyone should be afraid of fat.
The way that I interpreted that clip in her music video is that other people (like the media) tell her that she’s fat, when she’s clearly never been overweight, and they try to use that label to shame her and hurt her mentally and emotionally. You can see that the “anti hero” is also looking down at the scale and shaking her head. If anything, it’s pro-fat people because it’s showing how people use the term “fat” to shame and be cruel, even towards people who aren’t actually fat/overweight.
I love the messages you portray in all your videos and agree with them 100%.
3:25 brett oh no 😢
I think taylor swift was sending a great message cuz like if you have body image issues, thats the disease and losing weight only deals with a symptom. The better you look, the worse you will feel, so until you become happy with ur body, u will always step on a scale and see “fat.” Being happy with ur body and just working out for the feeling of being in tune with ur body is sooo much better
Easier said than done man.
I struggle with my body and weight. These people are so sensitive and unaware that that clip made us feel SEEN. GOD.
It's amazing how narcissistic these people are I'm a chubby guy I know it's unhealthy and the only one that can change that is me why cant these people be accountable for there actions
Being phobic today is becoming MEANINGLESS!!! A CHASING OF THE WIND
Thinking about praying to this
It seems that people love to read into things too much and take it too personally these days.
"Fellow fat weighing in" I'm going to start using that for sure 🤣
Thank God for you. You speak truth. We need more people like you boss.
Most girls struggle with self-acceptance with or without others telling us that our weight is okay. What they think about us won't change our internal dialogue about it; we have to learn to work through our issues ourselves and decide whether to accept ourselves. But being shamed for not *wanting* to be overweight is no more helpful than shaming us for *being* overweight. Literally, what we feel about our bodies is not about anyone else.
Oh, I feel that. I know I'm fat or at least overweight but everyone around me including my bean pole of a boyfriend keep telling me I look fine. It's kinda frustrating, but I'm 50 pounds away from being 300. That's not okay for me specifically. Now, I don't have a belly that hangs over my legs, but I do have ugly cellulite that I can never get rid of on my thighs. Despite this, my bf still says I'm beautiful. I wish I could believe him, but his perspective and mine are different. I've literally told him not to be afraid to say something he thinks might offend me because I understand the truth hurts sometimes. He still doesn't tell me I'm overweight.
If the Kardashians express their weight struggles it’s either inspiring or relatable.
Yet, when it comes from Taylor Swift it’s bc she’s playing a victim of an insecurity and struggle 🙄
Oh my gosh, there's"systemic fatphobia" now?
Pleaaaaaaase release your reaction to the whole album!!! I'm a huge swiftie and at first really didn't like the songs🤔 but then listened to them again and really loved them❤️
My own fat oppresses me
I’m considered ‘thin’ or of a normal weight by most people but I suffer from an Ed and body dysmorphia. My body is the first thing I think about when I get up in the morning and the last thing I think about before falling asleep. These negative thoughts take up so much mental energy, and it’s honestly so exhausting. This scene felt very relatable to me and I’m sure many others. Just because someone is considered thin or attractive doesn’t by societal standards does not mean they aren’t struggling. Honestly this video really humanized Taylor. We need to see more of this not less!! I think it’s important for people to realize that celebrities are people too with real struggles. They are not perfect, and looking like one won’t automatically make you happy.
Also, cancel culture is absolutely ridiculous. Trying to cancel someone for having different experiences/opinions than you is tyrannical and undemocratic and goes against all American ideals.
Thank you for making this video! These people are insane
Why do youtubers ask you to like the video before we've watched it... Like a chef asking the food critic to give them 5 stars before they've even tasted the food!
"Hello, fellow fat weighing in on this..."
I ain't gonna lie that made me laugh hard lmao
I have fatphobia even though there is no way I shall ever be fat I do fear the chance of it happening
Hello, Sweet Lady. :o) I hope you're well. Wow, I didn't think I could care less about getting along with these people than I already did, but I was wrong again! My gosh, nothing pleases these people at all. They're absolutely ridiculous. And society is operating on the absurd idea that we all have to cater to the angst of these perpetually offended mental midgets. I've had enough. Anyway, Brett, I hope you have a great evening, and God bless. Have a blessed day tomorrow. Oh, and one other thing: you took ballet? I have a close friend who was born in Serbia and who was a ballerina, and she showed me how she could stand, walk, and dance on the tips of her toes. . I'm just curious...are you able to do that? That always blows my mind when I see girls do it! 😊😊
I am fat-phobic.That doesn't mean I think all fat people are ugly.Phobia means fear,wich means I'm afraid of being fat.For MYSELF,NOT for YOUR
Literally everyone is a crybaby now. 🙄🤦♀️
moral of the story is if you don’t have the same opinions with another person doesn’t mean they are an awful person
my mom is actually overweight (i dont like calling people overweight or fat- this feels rude to say) and she has a eating disorter. She defintaily is NOT fatphobic. She is a really sweet and kind person. how dare people say having a eating disorter is fatphobic. (sorry for the mis-spells)
I hate people. We let murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and racists walk around just fine. So why are we attacking Taylor? She’s one of the most real celebrities out there. Taylor has openly shared with us her struggles with her eating disorder. She said something along the lines “I get triggered by looking at photos of myself daily, and I’ll start to spiral. I did this the other day, and had to stop myself. I had to tell myself “no, stop. It’s better to look plump and happy than sick and sad.”
after binge watching your shorts and videos it helped me realize how stupid i sounded as a "social justice warrior" and your videos have actually helped me see new points of views on different topics! love your videos!
They obviously did not catch and understand what Taylor was trying to say and symbolise 😂
I'm not a Pop fan, but it's pretty easy to see everyone in the world would look at her with adoration, and despite that, she's unhappy with her own self-image to the point where it's unhealthy. Its a really important statement on self-esteem. These people need to realize that self-acceptance is a healing message, and not something designed to trigger them.
Taylor can't get canceled. She's the Beyonce/Jesus of affluent progressive white female zoomers/baby millenials.
And they sneer at religious people. If there's no heaven ok but atleast I didn't spend my life worshiping an important celebrity who doesn't know I exist nor gives a single shit about me
As a left wing person I totally agree with you. This woke bullshit needs to stop.
Their argument is so stupid, Taylor was just trying to show how her eating disorder was, and she did it the best way she could in a MUSIC VIDEO- like, what would you have preferred she'd done, cut off to say "hey I have an eating disorder and this is how I feel when I step on a scale" in the middle of the video??
Social media has made us argue more.
It's wild that people with the thickest physical skin possible but have such metaphorical thin skin
anti hero is literally about her insecurities, if you watch her Miss Americana documentary she goes to say how she struggled with an ED and her recovery… her stepping onto the scale is simply how MOST people feel when stepping on a scale and simply how she felt during her recovery… this is simply about her insecurities, not about her being fatphobic
A title I’d never thought I see 😭
IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!
Brett, I recently found your channel and I am loving this! You are actually thinking like a rational human being. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep up the good work. ❤
Dude these lyrics spoke so much to me. (That MV, but also in another song she directly mentions starving her body). When I dealt with my ED, that’s exactly what I saw… and I was 5’7 @ 100 pounds.
Am at a healthy 120 pounds (mostly muscle, not fat) now but it’s still a struggle when you’re at a family party 😂
The wildest thing is remembering those memories from before and how distorted your body looked in the mirror. Cus even though I weight 20 pounds more now, viewing myself at 100 pounds looked so FAT. It was like I was hallucinating or something. It made no sense. Truly sucks people need to take take offense at such a sincere and harrowing message Taylor Swift put in her music that she had to take it down.
5:07 girl really has a pizza tattoo
When I hear phobia I think of something that will make you run the other way. Like arachnaphobia. I don't see anyone having these reactions when they see fat people and don't understand why we use these extreme labels when people just don't want to be fat. It's not a problem to want to be a healthy size for your height.
This isn't her first new album in many years. Folklore and Evermore are most new and owned by her.
You cant say or think anything anymore without triggering someone or getting cancelled.
Off topic but Brett is beautiful
She is:)
well hello captain obvious.. Pretty sure the whole world including herself already knew that.
WE ARENT FATPHOBIC, WE ARE HEALTH CONCSIOUS
Wtf happened to society
5:48 TAYLOR you have paralyzed and amputee fans did you evenconsider them before you WALKED and DANCED in your videos???? Ableism.
Add ad transitions are fire
Her editing out that part is like giving a baby what they want when they cry.
God told you to wait Brett😉
Imma just say it, most people on the internet and social media are snowflakes. It used to be all jokes and people helping others out but now it's just people getting offended over nothing.
she's literally not talking about others issues shes talking about something SHE struggled with because SHE felt about herself people need to stop making this about themself
That seamless transition into an ad is unlike anything I've ever seen
She wasn’t saying bring a housewife is oppressive, she was just saying she didn’t want to be that. Also, wanting to be independent is fine.
real
