Toxicity of the 2000's | Part 2 | Reality bytes but even YOU could be a Star!

Let's keep this 2000's series commentary going with the part of the 2000's which has only grown since, the need for distraction in whatever form it comes in, and the glorification and pursuit of celebrity.

    Rewatching some reality shows from the 2000s, the only one I can think that was good then and now is Queer eye for the straight guy. The show focused on positive self improvement, but didn’t force the contestants into wearing or doing things they were comfortable with and didn’t try to change the contestants’ personality ( a rare thing, looking at you Trinny and Susannah). Showed that queer men and straight men could interact with each other without it being sexual.

    I wouldn't say "good", but I liked both The Girls Next Door and Simple life. I remember my mother commenting that the women in the playboy mansion (and Paris and Nicole too) were frivolous and stupid, and I argued that Bridget certainly was not cause she was in college completeing a bachelor's degree. The prevalent idea that you couldn't be both good looking/sexy and smart made me so angry.

I was like "what the heck???". This decade was very tacky and superficial. Not shallow in a "fun" way, like being carefree, just enjoying the moment and things like that It was all about being perfect in every way (especially the outside looks) and yes! ALOT of shaming and judgment if you couldn't fit in for some reason or another. YES it was even worse than nowadays

    @@BryonyClaire Hello Bryon, I know you probably won't see this, but all the crew who worked on this show did all the girlfriends dirty. I completely agree about how the present Bridgette, that she was an “outsider” for not being pretty or skinny enough ( she was at a health weight) and portrayed her “desperate” for Hugh’s attention. Bridgette was my favourite because she was a naturally positive person who always wanted to see the best in other people and situations. Kendall was alway portrayed as a dizzy immature idiot (I remember on the show she stated she wanted to be a marine biologist - doesn’t sound like a profession an idiot would want to be) she was the youngest of the group, I believe she was in her late teens to early twenties will the show was filming, her brain was still forming. The show always compared her to Holly, who the oldest of the girlfriends ( I think Holly was in her late twenties to early thirties, don’t quote me I’m not sure about everyone's age during the course of the show”). Holly was always graceful and refined while Kendall is clumsy and obnoxious. Kendall's portrayal also had classist overtones, portraying her a “white trash”. The vibe I got from how Holly was portrayed was that she was cold, calculating, always trying to control and be the centre of Hugh's attention. She was probably more reserved when the cameras were in her face. She also stated she was wanting to settle down in a exclusive relationship and have children.

    The 2000's were so cruel. This were my 20's and I hated it there. The double standards were so extreme, it was sick. Hated reality tv and many movies. Stuff was pretty bad in cartoons back then, but not as bad as in other media. So I continued watching, what I had watched throughout my whole childhood: cartoons. I liked Legally Blonde and earlier Bollywood flicks, before the actresses got as thin as in Hollywood movies.

    Having a “makeover” show where you make contestants lose weight and get plastic surgery is such a copout. Like isn’t the whole point of a makeover to use fashion, makeup, and hairstyling to make people look good as they are, which is then supposed to make them feel more confident? Making them change the shape of their faces/bodies first just seems like cheating, not to mention wildly unethical.

    I'm sticking to yikes on trikes. I was only semi aware of a lot of the stuff on television because that was when I'd decided that I wasn't paying for cable. I was under employed at that time (and sadly still am despite my full time job, but alas that's a rant for another day) as it was trying just to get any crappy job I could find, so over 100 bucks on TV wasn't in the cards. It's been 20 years without "regular" TV and I've l I'm doing fine thanks. I just want to point out as an autistic, the big bang theory rather irritates the hell out of me. I've never seen an episode, but I've seen enough clips. Thanks for pushing unhealthy and unrealistic stereotypes about a whole diverse group of people that frankly don't have time for that shit. I realize there was much more going on in this episode, but that just stuck out to me as I'm constantly having to explain that yes, women can be autistic, and no we don't act like Sheldon. 🤦‍♀️

    I was a teenager in the VERY early 2000s. I graduated high school in 2006. During the time I was very into the emo scene starting around 2004, so my favorite song overall from that era would probably be "Love Like Winter" by AFI. But I think I had a different song for each year. I remember I really liked the Britney album that came out around 2001-2002ish. There was also a time I really loved everything by Evanescence and I think in 2004/2005 I was obsessed with "Helena" by My Chemical Romance. There were so many good songs that came out in the 2004-2007 era. Growing up in the early 2000s, something that I feel is not spoken of very often is the fatphobia. I have been a plus size girl almost the entirety of my life. While I think views on plus size people has somewhat improved in recent years, back when I was in high school my weight was roughly 130 pounds, and I was still considered fat. Clothing at that time was hard to find, especially for the alternative subculture I was in, one of the reasons I learned to make my own clothes. I feel that fatphobia towards women at this time is also part of the larger issue of the great misogyny of the 2000s.

    To be fair and balanced, barney was a way more layered character than Joey. He had a lot of arcs dedicated to him. He was kind of written to be this sad loser with daddy issues who uses sex to cover up how desperate he was for others approval. He was a likable character only bc there was a lot of development and even glimmers of what kind of person he was beyond the facade that he put up. Best barney moment imo is the EP where ted gets into a car crash. Ted had completely stopped talking to barney bc he slept with Robin (barney also had consequences for his actions a lot of the time which made it more bearable) and barney ran all the way from his work to the hospital which ends with him getting hit by a bus. There is a reason why he and robin only kind of worked after he found his dad and had several serious relationships. Joey on the other hand had very little depth to him and I don't think he had a single arc to himself. I understand not liking barney tho bc it can be a bit much even for me and I have the benefit of nostalgia.

    I think the surge of 80s musicians on the dating shows happened bc of Surreal Life which put a bunch of old school celebs together like Big Brother. Idk what the point of the show was other than general tension…I don’t think anyone was voted off. Anyways Flava Flav and Brigit Nielsen fell for each other and had a train wreck relationship on the show. Then they got a separate show but broke up. Then Flava of Love started… These shows stated before social media was like it is today so there were a lot of “where are they now?” re celebs..,.that’s how we got these VH1 shows

    I was born in 1994 so a lot of this stuff happened when i was still a little too young to internalize it too much. The emo stuff really hit my age group (and area, Seattle) harder (I literally only knew Flava Flav as the guy in the Taking Back Sunday music video.) I do remember that being a "tragic" girl was a big thing, also i distinctly remember a Simple Plan drunk driving PSA that aired on my local hits station at 2am every morning when i was 11 or 12, so in like 2007. We were all NLOG 😑

    Im so glad i grew up exclusively having crushes on cartoon characters and not caring about my body image or what boys thought of me. I sadly got that really late, and it caught up to me in my 20s, and maybe i did subconsciously internalize some stuff from the 2000s. Im glad i found reality TV boring as a kid. Im so glad i wanted nothing to do with people. I even preferred stuffed animals over dolls. Now that i think about it, i think most of the stuff i internalized was second-hand rather than personal experience? Maybe i FELT something was wrong with the cultural environment, but i was too young to understand exactly why i was constantly uncomfortable and felt the need to shut myself off from people?? A lot of this stuff talked about in this video feels oddly familiar even if i didnt fully remember at the time. Like the weird way women were treated and the way the men in my family exposed me to shit i shouldnt have seen. Rhe way i noticed that only white, blue eyed, blonde,straight haired girls got all the attention and i was POC with curly hair and wondered why my frizzy hair gave me so much low self esteem, my mom always calling it ugly and blow drying it out every week. The way it was normal for little boys to have straight up porn on their walls and talk about masturbation openly, but i was shamed for (accidentally!!!!!) discovering what my clitoris is and does without even knowing it was """"""supposed"""" to be sex related and being called disgusting for it, despite never developing sexual attraction or desires until a later age because of trauma.

Dress for success helped me get a job and some clothes for cheap but if every non profit tells the unhoused to just get a job what can help in that unhelpful advice is makeup so if you have a full tube of foundation who would use it all is someone who needs it so try to give it to anyone but the store who will just throw it away!

    So far in the run I must say I was watching most of the things talked about. Like HUSAHUSHAUSHUAHSUAHSUAHSA WHAT!?!?! I was born in 97, so 2000s was most Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks and some children anime. Also English is not my first language, so I enjoyed music for the musicality of it, couldn't even guess what the lyrics were saying. I only started studying English, like 2011? I'm not sure. But like, my 2k was VASTLY different HSUAHSUAHSUAHSAU americans are wild Edit after finishing the video - OMG I'll love gossip girl ad Devil wears Prada forever AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I think I never really got into fashion consumerism... cause I couldn't afford it. But I think it's interesting to be able to see the more problematic parts of our media and still enjoy rewatching it and not letting those attempts influence us anymore. Like Blair and Chuck are so toxic, don't want that for real life, but on screen... Love it. It's like watching fantasy. It's oly fun cause it's not real, nor should it be

    I was thinking here that I never erally enjoyed paparazzi and keeping up with famous people's lives. I see these images and it hurts me, I think even back then I hurt me. It's so invasive. And thinking of children celebrities just feels wrong to me. Even if they get proper media training. Children should not be working. Cause they grow up and then things usually go terrible like with Britney, Miley and Lindsay. To his day I still don't like to hear gossip or feuds of famous people. I wanna hear of their new album and movies and series. When it is a show or movie of famous people like Gossip Girl I can enjoy it, it's fiction. When it gets real it is no longer fun for me

    Reality shows and ads is why I cut my cable. I'm not paying for that nonsense. Netflix was in the early days and not that bad. I always watched t.v with my daughter and wanted to know what values were being pushed. Kids imitate. She didn't get a cell phone or Facebook until grade 7. Parents decide not schools, governments or other kids until she reaches an age of maturity where she can decide.

    Hm, if I have to pick ONE SONG from the entire 2000s as my favorite, American Idiot sums it up well, and it STILL holds up today. I guess you could say it aged like a fine wine, considering all the idiocy of the 2000s….well into today. Green Day were initially protesting the Bush administration with this song, today it works well calling out the MAGA cultists and Trump. Different problems, but the anthem still works perfectly.
