yeah but my point isn't like that may be true but my point is we shouldn't be promoting it for sure
00:00:05.660
like i i just i have a problem when we start putting that on the cover of magazines because
00:00:10.420
like a model is supposed to be the epitome of beauty but it's supposed to be like the top 10
00:00:14.480
15 percent of beauty just like in the nba you go to see the top 10 15 percent of nba players
00:00:19.760
and now we're putting people that are overweight and unhealthy on the covers of magazines and trying
00:00:24.300
to make it normal yeah and it's not like in asia that trend is not picking up and they're like
00:00:28.820
looking at america and they're like what the fuck are these americans doing well the average the
00:00:32.680
average woman in the u.s is five five hundred seventy pounds it's overweight yeah i know yeah
00:00:37.900
and it's because there's high there's high fructose corn syrup in everything in america that's the
00:00:42.000
main reason there's literally high fructose corn syrup and seed oils and everything that are
00:00:46.340
just killing people the chemicals do you know okay my opinion is i think people just need to be real
00:00:53.580
12 stone sorry 12.1 stone 12.1 stone what about kilos average uh i thought stone isn't that what
00:01:01.580
you guys do here i'm australian so i get my kilos 77 78 77 78 yeah 77 kilos good you in your head
00:01:11.040
i live in japan my scale my scale is in my scale is in kilos in the in the state in japan yeah sorry go
00:01:19.520
ahead um i totally understand what you're doing um what you guys are saying um i just think people
00:01:27.640
just need to be more real especially plus size people like with me i'm not about the i'm not
00:01:32.160
trying to lie here i'm not trying to promote anything but the truth is when for for example
00:01:38.960
when you're shopping for clothes as a child imagine from from four years old i was always a bigger child
00:01:45.520
and so i've always i'm six foot clothes never fit me so imagine so imagine now you're buying clothes
00:01:54.060
you're going shopping you want to buy clothes i still can't buy clothes especially here so yeah so
00:01:58.900
so for plus size the way it is is they just they're basically just made anyhow in any cuts so you can get
00:02:04.860
something and it will look like you're wearing like blinds or something or some sort of you've just
00:02:10.620
wrapped anything around you like that's how it looks so that's why it's important to have the
00:02:15.000
representation but i honestly think plus size people should should just be real it isn't it is
00:02:21.920
unhealthy being big but what are you doing about it i know what i'm doing i'm eating properly i'm
00:02:28.900
making sure i'm having my green juices i'm making sure i'm having porridge so all the rubbish comes out
00:02:34.540
and and when i pig out i do pig out and i love it but i just think that's a bit like entitled to say
00:02:40.360
oh because i'm big now i need to see this on the cover i don't know maybe not maybe not you saying
00:02:45.680
that but i'm just saying like that that's what the body positivity movement seems to be pushing
00:02:49.640
like we're big we need that representation like i'm a ginger where's my ginger representation
00:02:53.540
but it's like it's like i think it's like i just think like models are supposed to be the top like 10
00:03:01.220
percent of beauty like that's supposed to be like i kind of want to look at a magazine and see
00:03:05.700
something i will never attain but pearl that's the i'm i don't want to say that's the that's not the
00:03:13.820
right way okay if i go to the nba i know i will never be as good as those wnba players but it's okay
00:03:19.500
because that's the top 10 of talent but that's the thing you're your own self pearl just like you've
00:03:24.080
got this successful podcast that's you that's what you're good at that's your skill like people have
00:03:29.200
their own things that they're good at and and and we should also celebrate as human beings the stuff
00:03:34.720
that we're good at our individuality there's a there's also a big difference between men and women
00:03:39.600
too because like men will watch like predator and be like i bet you i could figure out how to use
00:03:44.440
steroids and like look that good a guy will think like i can i can up my protein i can get a gym partner
00:03:51.460
like you know they they lead in their delusion in a positive aspect but then like and from my
00:03:56.580
experience like you know if you were to just tell a woman that any part of her physical appearance
00:04:03.560
was maybe not up to par according to your personal standards as a man you know they take it as a
00:04:09.320
personal attack yeah and that's when they're like well yeah well you have fake teeth and your fucking
00:04:14.020
suit is ugly like that you know so it's a big difference between the genders for sure i'm i just
00:04:20.760
if you look at it right because it's kind of disingenuous too if you're intellectually sound
00:04:26.420
enough to perceive the reality of the situation that like it's a it's a gigantic marketing campaign
00:04:35.500
towards women versus men because if there was body positivity we're talking about the entire body
00:04:42.340
correct like how many women often make fun of guys who are short it's like part of the culture like
00:04:48.740
well he's five foot five he's got short man short man syndrome short man syndrome small dick energy
00:04:56.040
you know the the yeah imagine if guys said small tit energy i said all the time
00:05:02.080
like with girls my age like we all like for my type right is like tall you need to be like minimum
00:05:11.120
like five ten yeah if i look past someone that's like five five for me i'm just like no sorry instantly
00:05:17.520
and nowadays that's like that's not good for us girls to like say that that is like a thing but you
00:05:25.480
don't see the men coming forward and saying get short men on the cover of magazines where's our short
00:05:30.640
man representation yeah and this all goes back to money because it's all about
00:05:35.040
and it's sad to say but modern day marketing if you look at it it is all geared towards financially
00:05:42.540
extorting women and you look at like for example i'm american again i'm using american example
00:05:46.900
but over two-thirds of the student loan debt in america is owned by women and then on the flip side of
00:05:54.180
that the top 10 lowest earning college degrees are all majority dominated by women as well so they're
00:06:03.920
taking the tons of tons of debt and getting the most worthless jobs and they're later in life like
00:06:13.320
yeah i want to marry like they find out this guy is amazing whatever they want to get married she's
00:06:17.540
like oh yeah but i have like 150 000 student loan debt and the guy's just like oh well you can be my
00:06:24.140
girlfriend you know do you still have to pay that off though yeah you have to you have to that's and in
00:06:31.920
america sorry i'm american so i'm just giving guys american side of things that's the only debt you
00:06:38.900
cannot erase by filing bankruptcy so you can file bankruptcy i got credit card debt i have mortgage
00:06:44.740
debt car loans everything we cannot get rid of that loan
