No, it’s the fact that the video glamorizes how emaciated she is, which is incompatible with seeing “could lose a few pounds” as a negative, since she’s flaunting the end stage of being skinny. You can’t critique something you’re the personification of and trying to paint as normal. “Couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds” is exactly the deadly lie anorexics tell themselves because of the delusional thinking fueled by their disorder.

But it’s clear to me by now that you’re not engaging in good faith.

I watched it, and I just don’t buy this explanation when, in the same video, she’s purposely wearing stuff meant to accentuate her bones and figure. The “industry critique” aspect of the music video just falls flat. Someone on another platform said it better than I could: the fact that in a gore/horror-themed MV Ariana’s real-life body is the scariest part says it all. Ironically, I think the best “industry critique” is one she didn’t even mean, when she reads the innocuous note, “You bloom wherever you’re planted” (you become famous if, when, where, and how the ones at the top want you to).

The thing is, she most definitely doesn’t know better right now in the depths of anorexia. Anorexia warps your sense of reality and self, and it's also a competitive disorder (hence, the “flaunting” many people suffering from it do). I mean, in the music video, there’s a note that says “couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds” while she looks like that, so she’s obviously not in her right mind. I blame her management, executives, team, family, and friends for enabling her.

No one cares about her, she’s just their cash cow. The second pic is from her newest music video, "Petal," released a few days ago. The fact that a whole team approved a video that's blatantly pro-ana content (body checking/bonespo) for a mainstream pop star with a young, female fanbase is disgusting. Eating disorders are socially contagious, but I guess all publicity is good publicity to them.

Yeah, if you look up Seoul walking tour videos on YouTube, you'll see for yourself: Koreans are obsessed with black, white, and gray.

he’s 16. high school is a big (and hardcore) deal in Korea & they want him to have his own space in order to study in peace. this living situation is also a result of their son, as they wanted a place in an area with great schools and hagwons - so expensive area. child first lifestyle basically, lmao.
