PURE EVIL The Topic Of Pretty Privilege & TOXIC Celebrity Stan Culture Files (DEEP-DIVE) Problematic Influencers and MORE, Today I talk to you about, The USNOLVED True Crime Case Daily Stories, I talk about, So, What Exactly Is “Pretty Privilege”? There has been a growing discussion and debate surrounding the social concept of pretty privilege. To put it simply, it is easier to grow a platform, make money online, become an influencer, etc., if you are considered to be conventionally attractive. Or better yet, fit within westernized Eurocentric beauty standards. The main frustration seems to come in when it begins to feel as though individuals aren't being recognized for their talent, insight, or ideas. For example, there can be a beautiful highly “problematic” celebrity or influencer who gains millions of views along with gaining a massive following on social media and seemingly always get away with various “scandals”. While on the other hand, there are many more of individuals who are considered to be more “average” looking creators or reality tv stars etc who are unproblematic, that remain at the bottom, TikTok is in hot water and has gotten backlash for the practice of “boosting attractive people.” Following an internal investigation, documents revealed that TikTok adjusted its algorithm to “reduce visibility” of those they do not deem attractive! Stan culture is a cultural phenomenon where people become overly attached to celebrities, The term ‘stan’ is used to show support and admiration for a celebrity. In the 2000s, the word stan, a combination of stalker and fan, made its first appearance into pop culture after the release of Eminem’s song “Stan”. The main concept of celebrity worship itself is a form of almost obsessional behavior where someone idolizes their favorite celebrity to the point of ‘worship', There will be a fan that defends a problematic person that they love even if the celebrity or influencer are clearly in the wrong, The blind support from these stans and stan culture has resulted in a lot of things: intense harassment, attack campaigns, and doxxing These happen in cases ranging from someone tweeting out they simply don’t see the appeal of a singer or artist, and much more, It is our moral responsibility as humans to contribute to a culture of accountability by not giving people free passes. The bad behavior celebrities and influencers engage in can vary from understandable human error to unacceptable high problematic misdeeds.
