You touched on this when you said people don't think Cristine is intelligent just because she has a 'goofball' internet persona. But I feel like whenever a girl has long painted nails, a love for makeup, a taste for fashion and they care about 'materialistic things' people assume they are not clever... And i think that's a good topic for the body image pod cast..

It goes for any trait, be it humor or fashion or weight. I'm sarcastic and witty and fairly intelligent, but if I make a comment or joke that goes against something someone I am talking to feels is "right" (to them) the 'stupid fatass' comments come out immediately. It's easier to dismiss and reduce anyone you do not agree with to the most obvious cutting insult to close communication without having to continue being uncomfortable or learn something.

What you were shown when you were featured in that reaction channel (yes i watched that too) was just a chunk of kpop.

That needs to be freaking told to everyone. I’ve made jokes online and I remember in the past it was popular to tell women to “get back to the kitchen”. Or they were surprised I was female/funny, attractive/funny... or I’m subscribed to a guy’s channel that has more of a male fan base and guys are surprised I like this humor. Like you can’t look feminine and be funny. Or else you get labeled as a “tomboy” (which mostly during quarantine I have worn almost no makeup but still do my nails). I was using a totally neutral username on a funny memes app (way back in middle and high school) and I was one of the most popular users/posters. We were such a tight knit community that one day that users were invited to send in a real picture of what they actually looked like to the app admin, and they would create a collage of our pics by username alphabetical order. Me and this one other girl (who I also assumed was a guy by her username) were in the top ten users and it was just such a surprise to everyone. Like omg she’s a girl and she’s pretty and funny?! Yeah, a sense of humor isn’t that hard to obtain lol I have a master’s degree and like puns/dark humor/intelligent humor/topical humor:/etc. and the occasional fart joke. And I love eye shadow and nail polish.

If it helps, remember that the books were written in a certain place and time and that the values expressed within say something about the culture at that time. Just like its possible to enjoy Shakespeare plays even though they feature anti-Semitism and so on. As long as you are critical about the negative parts, there is no reason why you can't still fondly remember the good parts. Like Rowling grew up in a predominantly white area and wrote a book which is based in a school in a predominantly white part of the UK. She grew up whilst there was a lot of tension over in Northern Ireland which colours how she writes the Irish characters in the book. The few POC that are there have very generic/"exotic" names and in the area she grew up, most POC will probably have come from the common family names or will have adopted names which could be anglicised somewhat so end up with the same kind of family names that way. Does it excuse the racism? No, but it explains it. She could have chosen to write her fantasy magic school in an entirely different fantasy world and would have avoided a lot of issues in doing so. But she chose to try to make it a secret part of the real world. And in doing so ended up including real world details which were very problematic. Basically you don't have to agree with or enjoy the negative stuff she wrote in those books to enjoy the books. There are still good messages in there like trying to fight against supremacists who want to exterminate a group of people. Its kinda ironic that a book which preaches a message of fighting racism still ended up being racist in other ways.

Like it's the same with her teasing the idea of Dumbledore being gay, or Hermionie being racially ambiguous. But then instead of facing the crowds for the shit she's saying, she reposts all these kids drawings to hide her controversial stuff. Honestly I just wish she would get off twitter and chill in her mansion with her millions of dollars. There's no reason why she needs to be 'relevant' anymore and she's not doing herself any favors.

In response to the KPOP question, it’s a pretty wide genre not all the songs are super electric or upbeat. It’s like English pop just in Korean. There are many beautiful touching ballads or the use of influences from other genres just like in English pop. The wide range in KPOP is great for walking, showers, just chilling or motivation and getting hype :))

yes thank you. i wanted to point that out too. there's kr&b which is more chill or krock and krap which is a bit more hype. not all kpop is bubblegum and hype, if you research a bit you may find a sub-genre that you may like. of course i understand people not liking it but there are many versatile types of korean music and it's not only what you see in the surface. 💕

The difference in what the media is portraying within that spectrum says alot as to why Ben might think that way. The west generally consume most of the upbeat, bubblegum and intense music the various groups release while ballads, r&bs and others are mostly left behind. This can be seen in artists who specializes on ballads and others - although some do get enough recognition however the major factor is if they collabed with someone else who is already popular in the west and specializes in upbeat songs.

Rebecca Andrews Exactly. Feminism isn’t about women being better than men or having more rights than them, it’s about all genders being equal.

Ben, if it makes you feel better about the paint stripper, my labmate once spilled dichloromethane (aka DCM the main solvent used in the product) all over herself and has not had any adverse effects. The real risk for immediate health impacts comes from actually ingesting it or getting it under your skin - that can cause serious harm. As far as just having some come in contact with your skin, it probably won’t have that much of an effect. There is a risk of liver cancer associated with DCM, but that mainly only occurs when someone is consistently breathing in the fumes for long periods of time. TDLR - DCM can be nasty but most likely did not cause any harm in the context it was used it. It is highly irresponsible for a company to use it in a consumer product though, since there is such a high potential for serious injury.

I had always heard about you (especially through Jenna) but I’ve only recently started watching your videos and listening to this postcard. My goodness you are both such a delight and so refreshing to listen to. As a fellow Ottawan, it’s nice to see such intelligent and solid content from close to home. Hope you are safe and healthy and having lovely holidays!

Cristine is my type of introvert. She is comfortable with whom she trusts, which is few people. I’m the same plus I have to get good vibes off of people to like them. She also doesn’t share much personally, which I don’t either, but I respect that. I still think she’s shy, but it’s easier to be honest in more intimate settings.

I will admit, it took me a few videos to fall in love with your humor, Cristine! It was the simply mom-and-dad logical that helped me to see your personalities a little more, I think! And then I wanted to watch EVERY video you ever made!

I thought the testing “paint stripper nail remover” was entirely valid just for the fact I know it deterred at least 1 person from purchasing, the right message was sent out and the platform was used in a good way.
