I find it interesting that the message here is similar to this video from 5.5+ years ago and that, so far, nobody has had the sort of malicious reactions that are all over that video.

Boo hoo, everyone's trying to fuck me.

This pretty much summed it up.

This one still cracks me up.

Another benefit to being beautiful is that random people on the internet will feel sorry for your relatively insignificant problems.

"Sorry, but wtf? They feel they can't afford to be vulnerable, themselves, real? Are you saying that their need to remain attractive forces them to act in a certain way? That's just vanity." [quoting dannym3141]

in my experience, the need to remain SAFE (sometimes emotionally, sometimes physically) forces me to act a certain way at times, closing off my natural openness in meeting people for one thing. gaining weight or losing weight at different times to try to be invisible, body modifications that put people off, not taking care of my appearance at all -- those are some of the options i've exercised to avoid "flattering" attention based solely on my looks. i'm NOT saying i've ever been one of the uber-hot, btw. but i can empathize with them based on my own experiences.

sorry if that was TMI, but that's a lot of what i like at VS: real thought-and-discussion-provoking videos, not *just* cute kittens, though that's great too.

Just read this, it's months old

EVERYONE needs to protect themselves and be careful to be safe. That you think you have more to lose, or more at risk, just reinforces your vanity.

If you want to come back and say "i have a greater risk of being raped than this fat girl" then i'll say sure - but you also have a lower risk of being attacked, a higher chance of being defended if you're attacked, etc. etc.

And if you say "i have a higher risk of being raped than you (you're a girl, i'm a boy, no that isn't a chat-up line!)" Then i'll say fine, true, but you also have less chance of being attacked in pretty much any situation which can lead to an attack. That's huge.

I'm not calling you vain, i don't know you, and you could be speaking "on behalf" of some imaginary hottie. But if a hot person says to me that they are at greater risk of being safe, that is indicative of them being vain and THINKING they have more to lose. "If you get punched in the face you're good to go, but me? Well that's a big loss baby!"

I'm only sending this because you enjoy sift discussion, it's old and past and i'm just sadly bringing it back up.

I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart.

For the sake of Dag I won't do anything to you while he's alive.

But once he's gone I'm going to make sure all your videos sleep with the fishes. In the Dead Pool.

Thank you, for such an insightful last word! Wish there'd been more comments like yours earlier in the thread.

These people don't have the worst lot in life, and none of them are complaining. They've been invited to talk about their reality. This angle is something most people haven't thought about. And any art that makes your mind move in a different way is worth making.
