How old are you? Your skin is so youthful, I’m so jealous. You need to make a Youtube channel, with your outspokenness, beauty, and modeling you’d be such a hit. You’re my favorite TikToker, keep it up!! 💕

Thank you.

I don’t understand Pieper posting on TikTok with the comments turned off. Like, are you just going to ignore what you did on Bachelor in Paradise? Or do you really just think it wasn’t that bad? At least Brendan had some humility and shame. He posted an apology to his IG story, but Pieper won’t even acknowledge the situation publicly, or apologize to Natasha?!

James Charles is a gay man. What did you expect?

James Charles is a predator. Being gay has nothing to do with it.

“And I agree, the mixed race people who want to be black deserve the consequences of that identity.” As a biracial adoptee (black/white) to a white family with two white sisters (both biologically connected to my adoptive parents), I faced racism because the white community defined me as black. In the 80’s, in a predominantly white school district, it was the white folks who defined the “one-drop” rule. It was easy for others to use race against me. Ironically all available friends were white.

It’s lonely when you’re the only mixed race person in the community.

Demi Lovato Brought Back “Karen”

She is making herself look like a complete nutcase by oversharing and exploiting a personal situation that doesn’t warrant any valid or credible attention. I understand bringing awareness to triggering eating disorders, but she detailed the name of the store and went live just to complain about them not having the “yogurt” she wanted. Her fanbase attempted to trash the reputation of the froyo shop on google reviews to which costumers overrode the fans with a ton of positive reviews, referring to them as “Karen Lovato’s.” I hate that Karen is being brought back up because of Demi’s bratty tantrum. Somebody on TikTok commented, “Demi Lovato and Gabbie Hanna give off the same energy” and I agree. It’s always hit or miss when Demi Lovato is trending, so I never go out of my way to look into it too deeply since I know it’ll just annoy me. (The only reason I know about this topic is because it was brought up on the Frenemie’s podcast and then it popped up again on my fyp.) I really do wish Demi well. She seemed very disassociative to have posted such a petty situation in the middle of a culture crisis. We are having issues with gun violence as well as reports of blood clotting from a rare allergic reaction to the covid-19 vaccine. It’s just an odd time to be upset about frozen yogurt, let alone soliciting it to all of us. —My input

DC Entertainment’s Anti-Black Remarks

Los Angeles Times tweeted, “Bridgerton breakout Regé-Jean Page was reportedly rejected for a role due to his race. […]” I don’t understand why “executives” put actors through the whole process of auditioning for the role just to reject them purely on race. It doesn’t make sense. Why even put them through the humiliation? Casting directors do this to non-white actors (Regé is biracial), all the time, just for the amusement of it. They’re like, “Let’s consider a non-white actor for shits and giggles today.” They know the intent was to cast a white actor for this fictional role, so why are they wasting other actors’ time?  Somebody tweeted, “[…] they made a point of pointing out he didn't get it based on race. They could have just passed him over and not said a thing, but Johns made it a racist statement.” I agree with this. It’s the fact they could of used any other excuse not to cast him, but they used anti-black remarks (against someone who is mixed race) and they’re openly against casting black people for the role. Like? If I were in Regé’s shoes, I would not want that role even if they apologized and begged me to take it. —My input

Hi Talia. I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and I think you're a much needed voice for the biracial community. I'm 42 year old mixed-race male from the UK. I've experienced the same abuse from black people that you're receiving. My black dad once said that I have identity issues because I identify as mixed and not black. I just wanted to say that most biracial people are with you and support what you're saying, so stay strong.

Cheers to strength!

“Age Doesn’t Matter” Culture

One of the comments featured in “The Twisted World of James Charles: 8 Accusers in 3 Years.” said, “[…] to be interested in the youngest stage that he can legally get is just fucked up on its own” and I completely agree. Teen/adult relationships are illegal if James has any ounce of morality. He said that he views himself as a 40 year old man who’s interested in 18 to 19 year olds. It doesn’t make sense that he has this many accusers under the age of 18. He also confessed to interacting with older men on the internet while he was a young boy. There are many under-addressed issues with James Charles and his sexuality. Toward the end of the video, there were resources and helplines for children who may be engaging with adults and lying about their age the way James did as a young boy. It’s not victim blaming, it’s just that a lot of kids and teens have this “age doesn’t matter” mentality. I saw this video on TikTok where Henry Cavill was romanticized as he was caught gazing at his teenaged co-star Freya Allan during press interviews. People were replying that age doesn’t matter and that it’s legal to be together since she’s 19. There are no reports of Henry Cavill and Freya Allan dating, however, in 2016 Henry Cavill dated and broke up with Tara King who was 19 at the time. Being of legal age is designed for teenaged couples who want to get married, not for adults who want to be married to teenagers. People use the “of legal age” argument as an excuse to be predatory instead of just admitting that they are psychologically unhealthy for taking interest in someone who is too emotionally, mentally, and physically underdeveloped to consent. James’s recent tweet is a picture captioned, “camel toes” while his latest instagram post is of the same picture captioned, “please excuse my camel toes.” With all of these accusers, James continues to insensitively plug his makeup looks and “outfit’s of the day” when he should be deplatforming himself off social media. James Charles is a predator and he should be arrested. As for the adults who interacted with him online when he was a child, they should be investigated. —My input
