Welcome back to Nicky at Night!!!This week we are back with another video essay-- very in line with the "Epidemic of Escapism" episode, but this time I really wanted to hone in on this idea of "wellness" or "glow-up culture" on the internet.Lately, it has really felt like Body Standards are regressing. With the rampant use of things like Ozempic, and this return of "trend dieting". People are manufacturing these subcultures like the "Pink Pilates Princess" to sell you a product. I think it has contributed to a LOT of really dark and scary body standards returning that can be very unhealthy for young people0:00 - Intro3:32 - Disclaimer4:44 - Skinny vs Healthy9:02 - The History of Body Standards12:50 - Beauty vs Health Standards18:33 - The Marketing of "Hotness"24:25 - Ozempic & Body Positive Role Models31:!4 - My problem with "glow-up" culture35:44 - Closing Arguments#videoessay #bodystandards #bodypositivity #commentary
