Prancing about in her underwear just doesn’t feel authentic to her brand so it’s very confusing.
Am sure mummy and daddy would pay for her lifestyle if she didn't have a job at all. She doesn't need to work at allImagine the whole YouTube thing doesn't work out and she has to go out and get a real job. A quick Google and a potential employer sees that - they'd never hire her!
I agree with this, I think it's probably just dormant hormones that have woken up 10 years later than the majority of femalesIt seems to me like she’s kind of going through a faux/second puberty. She was essentially sick before, and now she’s experiencing all the hormones and sex drive that she never had (and “mistook” or misrepresented as asexuality - just fyi for people who might not know, asexuality does *not* mean low/no sex drive, although ace people *can* have low/no sex drive just like people of any orientation can). Most people just, uh… don’t live this stage of their life publicly. I don’t think she’s wrong to, but I would be very uncomfortable about this stuff being up on the internet and it wouldn’t surprise me if it eventually gets privated.
Yessss. I was like, yo idk if she meant for this to come across as terf-y as it did, but woop"Embracing your femininity" what the fuck is that even supposed to mean. That coupled with addressing her audience as "ladies" feels like a completely different type of influencer, like that doesn't feel like Holly at all sh. Also I do not want or need lessons in "being more feminine" or whatever gendered bullshit from Holly of all people, that's not why I subscribed to her channel back in the day. And I doubt that's what most people want or need from her.
Also, "accepting that my food babies are normal" is probably meant to sound all empowering and encouraging but I feel like watching a video of Holly's slim, toned body and then reading about her supposedly struggling with 'food babies' is probably not gonna do a world of good to anyone who is/has been dealing with body-images issues themselves. Which, you know, probably makes up a decent percentage of her followers seeing how she's been posting about her ED recovery ("recovery") a lot.
I don't know that ethical porn website so I can't rightly criticize that. I'll say though, I was v convinced this was sponsored by an underwear company but apparently Holly just decided to go with it? Nothing wrong with showing yourself in underwear on the internet, but I do wonder if that was like, sth the sponsor asked for or sth she wanted to do herself or what was up with that - especially since Holly's 5 Femininity Tips (barf) don't even deal with underwear so it's like?
Also the actual 5 tips just rub me the wrong way - 1) says "body fluctuations are normal" which yes, duh, they are, but that doesn't only apply to women does it? Men's bodies can change and fluctuate too. Men can get bloated too. What does being bloated sometimes have to do with femininity? And also, Holly twisting in front of the mirror to make it look like her belly is sticking out and then captioning that with "it's temporary!" does not, exactly, feel empowered or empowering at all.

2) "Learn about your body to feel educated" - ok this one actually makes sense, I'll give her that. But again, why is that a sign of "femininity"? Does reading up on menstrual cycles mean "embracing femininity"? But the tip itself is okay.
3) "You fit your clothes they don't fit you" - coupled with footage of Holly that just gives me bodychecking vibes, I'm sorry. I guess this is her recycling her ED recovery advice? So does this mean that if I'm okay with my clothing size that makes me more feminine, whereas if I want to gain or lose weight I am somehow lacking in femininity then. Are female ED sufferers less feminine due to their suffering. Am I overthinking this? Yes. Does it make me a bit angry? Also yes.
4) "Your emotions are valid" - ok that one's true, no complaints here. My only question is why this is paired with footage of a bowl of oats when literally noone is talking about food or diet choices in the video. Are oats an emotion now? All oats are valid? When you have a feeling, go eat some oats?
5) "Female self-pleasure is there to be enjoyed" - I guess this is Holly encouraging her audience that masturbating is okay? Which of course, it is!! I just don't fully understand how me rubbing one out is making me more feminine but okay. I guess this one also ties in with the sponsor.
(I'm sorry for the long and probably over-angry rant. It's just that as someone who has/had struggles with societal expectations of performing femininity being thrown at me, and body image stuff and all that, this video just really really rubbed me the wrong way. Like don't even get me started on how this is absolutely not inclusive of different gender identities etc - even for me as a cis woman person, i.e. the presumed target audience here, this was so grating to watch. Idk. It all just felt so weirdly preachy and smug to me)
My husband and I are both introverts and met on an app. We enjoy being social with each other just not the general public it turns out. Been together years nowWhat a strange thing to say to someone you’ve met on a dating app - It’s almost a bit insulting. If I was Angelo, I’d have run a mile at that point alone lol
But with a spoiler so people don't have to see it because I definitely don't have the mental headspace to be sad about an animal that I have absolutely no ability to help.Can someone post the picture/clip of Angelo's rabbit?
Can someone post the picture/clip of Angelo's rabbit?
But apparently it’s ok because “he does get to go in the garden sometimes and it’s not actually Angelo’s rabbit, it’s his mums”.
Loooool surely not??? How can you preach veganism yet keep your rabbit banged up in a box like that
