as much as I support the #progress #leftists are making towards being #bodypositive, there is still a hard limit evident in which forms of #bodypositivity are considered #capitalism friendly--mostly things involving #fatPhobia, which IS important, I'm not denying that. however, there are many other body parts that don't get the same commercial-friendly normalization--because they're harder to sell to consumers, I guess. very rarely you might see an ad campaign featuring people with #vitiligo, #amputees and other #disabilities etc, but it's always done as a one-off PR stunt, not sustained awareness and destigmatizion of bodies that look like that. and I have NEVER, EVER seen an ad campaign to normalize #acne especially #adultAcne or #acneScars, unless it's to sell something that allegedly prevents or heals acne. trust me, some of us have tried all that, and it still doesn't work. rather than shame the millions of people who deal with these kinds of things, isn't it way past time to normalize them, too?

It's been an incredible year, both because of the increased effort by Vidcon to add more panels than just "how to become famous then use that fame to become rich" and because I forced myself to be very outgoing and strike up conversations with people everywhere I went, almost everyone of whome turned out to be nice. I'll be putting a video out soon after I get home that will review the good, the bad, and the awful about this year's Vidcon, so if you'd like more details on how I think this Vidcon compares to the 10 other ones I went to, please subscribe and follow me on my socials! www.allmylinks.com/toptopics Also if you happen to be reading this as one of the people I met, hello, it was great getting to know you! Please feel to reach out to me via the links above, I'm very active and happy to respond (as long as your message is more than "hi" or something mean/gross), especially on Twitter and Instagram! ---- ALL DESCRIPTIONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, SINCE YOUTUBE IS NOW RANDOMLY DECIDING SOMETHING AS INNOCENT AS A SUBREDDIT POST IS GROUNDS FOR BANANAING, IF YOU GET ENOUGH FALSE FLAGS BY HATERS! For links to my social media to ask about what was lost, you can find the links here: www.allmylinks.com/toptopics (please make note of the "every time top(less) topics has been bananaed" link near the top for oodles of screenshots!) And if you think YT is patriarchal misogynistic transphobic bull poop, you should leave comments on every video and/or make your own videos letting them know! :D ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIDu23U65wE
