Recent studies showed that this is the fault of women... Particularly, women writers. Men write characters the way they think the character is supposed to be, or maybe even in a way that they themselves admire. Women, however, just can't seem to relate to anyone who isn't just like them, so they tend to just write characters as self-inserts... They also seem to think that EVERYONE operates this way, and then try to be saviors to those they deem as marginalized groups, and do nothing but pander when they become producers and such (which we clearly have seen over and over in the passed 10 years or so).

We don't want ugly characters, we want appealing characters. They don't have to be sexy, they just need to be characters that look like healthy human beings that don't look like they spent all their time at an all you can eat buffet.

Thing is that ugly characters nowadays are simply ugly to not make viewers insecure, them being ugly isn't really that important and great asset to their characters. Sorry man my one of favorite characters from disney is Quasimodo. But his ugliness is one of core traits of his, he is supposed to look repulsive, reclusive, outcast, but we learn that he is not only actual human being like us, he is very kind human being, probably more kind than most of us. There was strong intent behind his looks. Nowadays it's this indulgent way of thinking, not only with ugly characters but all type of characters like putting token black guy or homosexual guy, their only purpose is for those specific groups in audience to not feel left out, but that's not how healthy individuals think like. I'd like to see more ugliness, but done well. Showing people who are gaunt, who are disproportional, but in the end they are their own characters, in spite of being fictional, they feel like real people.

Toxic positivity is a perfect name for it, tbh. And this is far from the first time a lifestyle that used to be considered bad was not only re-imagined to be good but also shown to be *superior* to the opposing way of life. Take, for example, Lady and the Tramp. In that film, Tramp's "ride or die," no commitment lifestyle is shown to be liberating in some aspects. But it also results in Lady being traumatized after she was carted off to the pound. In that film, family and commitment were shown as the lifestyle that most people should ultimately strive for. Fast forward to Toy Story 4. Woody is the one supporting the notion of family and commitment and Bo Peep is championing the 'no commitment, ride or die' mindset. But Toy Story 4 treats Woody as the one in the wrong, to the point where he throws away those values to adopt Bo Peep's. Disney is so obsessed with being "inclusive" to all lifestyles that they have swung too far in the other direction to where they are now actively promoting destructive and selfish lifestyles.

These people can't fathom the idea that sometimes negativity is a necessary and important part of fandom, that people don't just hate to hate, they hate because it's fun to discuss and analyze why we dislike something. But these people like things because liking things is what a fan is supposed to do. And I'm sick of it. Stop acting like being negative is this horrible thing, and just allow yourself to hate things.

Love yourself and accept yourself while your working to be better. With the weight I've lost so far literally everything in life has become so much easier.. So much less painful.. It's a lot of hard work and its very slow especially having diabetes and very little support.. But my god It's worth it.. It also gives me a massive appreciation for the good in life. For the longest time my life was so miserable and suicidal. But I've come to grow and learn so much over the last few years, especially since therapy and having some great support workers..

American culture has always been prone to narcissism (exceptionalism being one marker) and mindless optimism. Not to put all the blame on parents, but it is either their job to keep their children healthy and attractive or worst case scenario make them confident enough to own being fat. One of the most attractive traits is not living for other people's approval while being aware of your own imperfections. Men struggle with loneliness, but women need company literally to rate themselves and their lives by. Ironic, because it's mostly women being vicious about another woman's appearance while there's porn for men who like 'em big. Fat acceptance is a struggle between females before anything else.

Maybe don't promote Temu. It's technically not a scam but is super shady and unsafe. I agree that the body positivity thing is a case of the 180° turn that's too far. It's not okay to bully and shame people just for being overweight but it's also not something that should be praised or idolised. It's a bit of a personal topic for me because I've been overweight for a lot of my life and I've never thought of it as a good thing, but I also have a disability that makes losing it really difficult. I'm working with an exercise physiologist to help it but it's still going to be a long and arduous process. I think you briefly mentioned about unhealthy food being cheaper and easier, but I'd say that poverty/ wealth plays a big part in fitness as well. If you don't have the time between your job and taking care of your kids to cook a good meal, or you literally can't afford healthier food or a gym membership or, like me, need specialised help so as not to damage yourself, it's going to be very difficult to change your circumstances.

Really fantastic video and incredibly accurate. Wall-E is perhaps the best Pixar film ever made and it's so incredibly poignant. I've always felt it should be shown to children in schools followed by education on nutrition. Another thing I find too is people being enabled by family members and friends. The clips of The Whale reminded me of that because his nurse is just as guilty for his obesity as he is. She gives him what he wants just like enabling any addict because she feels bad. I used to work at a restaurant that was super family friendly years ago, and I would see so many children drinking 4-5 refills of soda with their dinner and they were all obese. Parents didn't say anything and just gave in. As we progress as a society shouldn't we be healthier than ever before with the knowledge we have? It is The Twilight Zone.

Yes and no. The problem lies in the healthcare system and public spaces. Ballooning up to 300+ pounds puts a massive strain not just on your own body, but also the medical system as a whole. Not to mention public transportation, and spaces in general, are built for people, that are actually people sized. I'm all for complete freedom of personal choice until it starts impacting other people negatively. Having over 70% of the country as overweight and some 40% being obese categorically falls unequivocally falls into negatively impacting others on a daily basis.

I really appreciate how you talked about the double standard of bodily expectations for men and women. In the early 2000s corporations pushed an unrealistic standard for how women should look (SUPER skinny, unhealthy). Nowadays, corporations push a very unrealistic standard for how men should look (SUPER jacked, unhealthy). Everyone is different, and we should all strive to be as healthy as we can be despite our differences. We shouldnt be promoting the use of enhancers for men or "body positivity" (laziness) for women.

The irony of that short film Reflect is that Ballet is a very core intensive workout requiring a lot of stamina and the girl in the movie would likely lose all that weight due to the amount of cardio she would be doing on a regular basis. A perfect example of this is back in High School on my Cross Country team one of the guys who joined was on the fatter side but by the end of the season he had lost a considerable amount of that excess weight due to all the running.

Hold on a minute, just looked up the synopses for the "reflect" film. How the hell would a "plus sized" person learn ballet in the first place? Honestly, Ballet dancers aren't all thin because of unrealistic beauty standards, they're all thin because it's bloody physically demanding and takes great flexibility! What next, a film about a fat person winning races against Usain Bolt just by the magical power of belief? Also, news flash, most normal women like! Looking pretty. There is a good reason the beauty industry markets most of it's products to women, and it's certainly not "the patriarchy!"

There’s currently an ad on Dutch tv for hygienic pads, and it features an overweight figure skater. At first glance, it looks impressive! But then I actually asked a figure skater if what she’s doing IS impressive, and the answer was a resounding “nope, not really”. The fact that fat people can do SOME type of movement isn’t special. They still will never be able to do it like a fit person would. As someone who’s lost significant weight, fat positivity just stings me extra hard.

Ah yes because me having just slight fats make me obese and unattractive for a female human because of society's ridiculous toxic beauty standards that only sexy women are respected or such

It's like me showing up at a Nuclear Lab demanding a job...because I believe in myself! Screw public safety, this is my ego we're talking about!

Honestly, specifically with gaming and Spider-Man 2, it is even more anger-inducing, as they just say, "nope, you imagined it, we are not making females look "relatable" on purpose". It simply feels like gaslighting because you can't shake the feeling off that they make you question reality.

The April O’neil one is especially confusing to me. I expected the worst from the trailers, but she’s pretty well written and fits into the turtles’ arc. I don’t think anyone would’ve honestly minded a race swap, but there’s no reason for her to be unhealthy at all.

Race swaps are not okay. April is a white woman. It's lazy to raceswap a character to pander to the woke left. No black girl ever said "I don't like Ninja Turtles because April doesn't look like me!" And BlackApril looks ugly.

@@crazybrainiacjr She was depicted as a dumpy ugly woman. When has April ever been depicted this way in past TMNT content? And if you didn't notice, the video is about the body positivity issue where hollywood, the media, and influencers on social media are pushing an it's ok to be unhealthy message. His argument is they made her fat and that's what the video is about. Did you watch it or do you lack comprehension skills? What did making her fat, ugly, and race swapping accomplish? Like someone said above in another comment, we don't need characters that look like super models. But being healthy should be the norm. It's absurd thinking that because there are unhealthy people in the world it means there also must be unhealthy people in movies, especially animated ones. If ya wanna see some fat people go to social media. There is no shortage of em there. And this is coming from someone who was 50 lbs overweight and I worked my ass off to drop 40 lbs in a little over a year. I did that because all that extra weight was causing big time issues in my life.

The example that I think of whenever anyone mentions "Health at Every Size" is the rapper Big Pun, he was a talented rapper considered one of the greatest to ever get on the mic. But he died at 28, 700lbs from a heart attack. You can't look me in the eye and tell me that his weight didn't play a role in his premature death. You would be insane to do so. Body Positivity is nothing more than a shallow lie used to make people feel better without effort.

Amen to what you said. For years I struggled with my weight and still have body issues. But one day I decided to make a change, I controlled my portion, exercised a whole lot more and I lost 20 pounds. What’s best is the compliments I’m getting on my progress. It feels great to finally have some self confidence and showing up for yourself. I still have a long way to go, but I can see my confidence building and I’m finally starting to be happy with my body. However I never placed that insecurity on someone else nor blamed others or a fictional character for my insecurities.

You make your point very cogently. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. You do a really good job of identifying weak points and damaging patterns in our movies and the care you take in explaining them is appreciated.

Well done and thoughtful video

Why should one be positive about failing at ones responsibilities? Should we start to lionize kids who fail class, due to laziness, so as to not hurt their feelings? Should we praise people for not doing their jobs, all because we want to be understanding of their sensitivities? Make no mistake, with rare exception, being obese is a personal failing. It is a failure to do your due diligence to keep your body in the shape it supposed to be to maintain long term health, optimize quality of life and performance. I say this as a man who has struggled with his weight, since graduating university, over 22 years ago. Redefining a failing into a virtue helps no one, least of all those struggling with the vice of gluttony.

The Rekieta skit was a really nice touch! 😚👌

I feel like everyone should strive to be healthy. Its not about looks, its about your body and that its healthy.

This is a really good video. 👍

Very well said.

8:49 HAHAHA better joke than any joke in the show 😂

The insane thing about this ballet character is... MA DUDE, THERE ARE NO FATTIES IN BALLET There just aren't. The dancing just won't work without the propper center of gravity, it is taxing, hellish, all people in ballet say so - but it is a thin toned woman's game

One more thing I have noticed is that the whole body positivity and self love is just restricted to females. If a girl is fat she loves herself and more power to her but if a man does that suddenly the air is full of slurs and slangs.

Ur editing and thumbnails are great!

Shilling for a Chinese company (which therfore means their government) that relys on methods such as gambling addiction to make cash? BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

Skinny doesnt = healthy either. I’m a size 8 and got asked “what are you doing here” when i went to a boot camp class. It made me stop going because everyone gave me evils

It ain't just movies or shows either, gaming and it's communities are getting invested with this nonsense too. It's the biggest reason i stopped playing Final Fantasy 14.

That Bill Burr at the end is all of the gold. He sums up all this nonsense in one joke.

The body positive ballerina is going to obliterate her ankles. Thin ballerinas have problems with that, you can't put a couple dozen more pounds on those and have them stay in one piece. And it tightens up the execution required to not cause a catastrophic break. Just landing slightly off is going to blow her feet up, which can disable her permanently.

Haha moviecynic put the Malaysia Politician meme Bung Raden😆😆

Body positivity is ruining society. It just emphasizes victim mentality. People have a ton of respect for others when they can admit that they have a problem and work hard towards fixing that issue especially with weight. Great work here buddy. Best video yet

Finally!!! It's not said enough. PREACH!!!!

Ironically most video characters run enough to lose the weight that would make them fat. How often in an adventure game are you sitting on a couch at home power leveling your cool ranch level? Nah you running place to place, like these people should be doing in real life. I recently lost 50 lbs by quitting drinking, drinking water, and exercising. We can do it.

As someone who was overweight as a child (age 5-14), had an eating disorder for 20 years (age 14-34), recovered from the eating disorder and is now living a normal, healthy life (34-37).... *I completely agree with this video.* ☝🤷‍♀

“Regression, pretending to be progression”. This quote right here..

Chris pratt is a great one to discuss in this topic. He was told he was perfect for Star Lord but just not physically, as he was quite chubby. So he told james Gunn to give him a bit of time. He worked his ass off and was hired. Similarly, there are ppl like Paul Rudd who weren’t exactly overweight but not in the right sort of shape for a superhero. And they work hard as hell to achieve those bodies. Hell, Henry Cavill himself used to be overweight. And look at him now. And tho steroids are NOT a good thing by any means, it is still an example that the men really do go all out for the physiques that are demanded of them. Meanwhile we have out of shape female characters like Echo and Ms. Marvel. And ppl like Natalie Portman unwilling to put in any work and instead got her arms CGI’d.

Mr Cynic, if you keep releasing thoroughly researched and informative videos like this, you’re in danger of becoming one of the youtube GOATs in a few years. Keep up the excellent work. This video essay on the oxymoronic and false altruism of modern companies was stellar. I especially liked the callback to WALL E, I completely forgot disney made a whole ass movie disparaging obesity and sloth and then a few years later suggests gay trans morbidly obese sloths are the pinnacle of morality. God I hope western culture implodes already.

I did not expect to hear music from Shenmue when I clicked this video. I'm cool with it though.

Nice thumbnail of Captain Carvel

I'm 52. When I was growing up, the fat kid or obese adult was the outlier. Young people weren't stuffed with shit-"food" and we were OUTSIDE playing and running around versus sitting on the the basement couch playing video games while mom brings garbage snacks to keep the damn kids quiet. So, the early 2000's roll around and those ever fattening and lazier kids are now todays fat younger adults pushing their insecurites upon the world concerning their weight by shaming those of us that have some discipline and discernment instead of just eating better and doing basic exercise 3-4x a week 45 minutyes to an hour at a time. Trust me, that damn phone and ice cream cone can be put down for that amount of time. By the time I'm 70, todays early 30yr olds will stroke out or have arteries clog up. Its going to happen a lot more frequently and pretty soon.
