There are very few times i say this but I hope to GOD that they delay Beyond the Spider-Verse by a SIGNIFICANT margin because this shit is not okay. I adore the Spider-Verse movies to bits but the workers and the conditions they have to go through is infinitely more important. I hope the movie gets all the time and money it needs because if not I am VERY worried about how the movie and workers will turn out in the end.

there is something deeply, unfathomably cruel about the fact that something called the clean girl trend is actually only accessible with perfect skin and hair and nails and bodytype. that if you simply use enough products and time and genetics you too will be able to be filter-flawless. it isn't just about being pretty, it's about being naturally pretty, with perfectly ethnocentric features that absolutely make a mockery of the poc they stole their techniques from.
something about this not just being a fashion trend but directly positioning any alternative as being "unclean" - if you use visible foundation to correct your skin in a desperate attempt to fit in, that's cringe. if you draw your eyeshadow and eyeliner in a way that feels personal and full of expression, i was told this looks "cheap" and "unfeminine." if you do not endlessly adhere to a nigh-impossible routine of beauty and sacrifice; you simply aren't one of those girls, girls that are better than you and deserve their good life. if you were not lucky enough to be born with this, no worries; it can be sold to you. it will be sold to you.
the women of color who made half of these things popular - hoop earrings, slicked back ponytails, oiled babyhairs - they do not get credit. they are not included in the trend. they are ostracized as being too different, too hispanic. because it's not clean when we do it.
no, if you're not perfect (and perfectly white), you're dirty. you're basically a slob. i actively like doing my makeup, and i've been told a lot - it's just a few basic products, it's really not that hard. nobody seems to get what i'm saying - we absolutely should not be linking makeup to hygiene. that linking cleanliness with rich white girls in yoga pants and glass waterbottles is incredibly bigoted.
she rolls her eyes. "okay, we get it. it's literally not that deep. you just hate makeup. i mean, it's fine. just say that you're ugly."

i do not support all women because why the hell does ariana grande look like that. imagine you wait your entire life to play your dream character and then the movie looks like slop but more importantly you cannot move your facial muscles and your skin tone blends into your hair while all your features look...... shall we say.... aspiring to a race you were not born into <3

Isobel probably waking up with 100 year old makeup and then proceeding to forget to wash it off because girlie was busy and then just keeping it For The Aesthetic I Guess is the peak femme lesbian representation I want thanks
