My Kinda Pretty. (Slam Poetry)

This video is not about shaming any individual's definition of pretty. In it's entirety, the video is an advocate of discovery: of self, and in the greater sense, of beauty. It's message may be boiled down to a single statement: we are all beautiful.

I laughed so hard at the hypocrisy of this. She claims in the description that "the video is an advocate of discovery: of self, and in the greater sense, of beauty." and yet all I hear is "HURR DURR SOCIETY SUX IT TURNS WOMYN INTO ANOREXICS! FUK SOCIETY!!1"

[TheLizardQueenMotion]

@thefuzz97 I'm glad you think our society is perfect. What beautiful, delusional naivety. Have you been returning to this video routinely? You've commented several times already...

[HurricaneTBag]

Yeah it'd have a lot bigger impact if you didn't have to read off the paper the whole time, you'd wear an appropriate amount of makeup, your ugly tits weren't hanging out, and you weren't so desperately trying to seek the attention of men. Your mouth is saying "Outer beauty is overrated, I don't seek approval from men on my looks" but your actions are saying "PLEASE VALIDATE ME!!!!!!!! I GIVE HEAD ON THE FIRST DATE!!!! EVEN IF YOU DON'T PICK UP THE CHECK!!!!"

[TheLizardQueenMotion]

@HurricaneTBag I'm a lesbian, you presumptuous idiot. That invalidates the majority of your argument. Secondly, you sad, sad human being, I am free to make you as uncomfortable as I want. I will wear as much fucking makeup as I please. My "ugly tits" will be as visible as I choose to have them be. That's the funny thing about freedom. Unfortunately, we live in a patriarchal society in which the terms "woman" and "freedom" don't really seem to mix. I apologize for your ignorance. Have a good day.

[BlondeBlueBeauty]

this is great... but you talked about internal beauty in a video (which is awesome) while wearing a lot of eye make-up and a a low-cut shirt. follow your own example.

[TheLizardQueenMotion]

@BlondeBlueBeauty You complimented my video, but you did not listen to the words of which it is composed. "I mean fighting to be who you want to be." I believe in the individual recognizing and pursuing their own beauty, and in that same essence their own happy. My definition of beauty and my definition of happy are a constant evolution, but they will always revolve around the same concept: inner and outer freedom, of both expression and action. I AM following my example. I am being me.

1. have you ever considered going into nu-metal? the rock/rap fusion scene could use some revival

2. i couldn't cum listening to your words of ignorance, next time try to squeeze the phrases "all men are pigs" and "it's society that's ugly" in there. it'll make you seem so much more relevant!

[sharonedaniel]

wow. please here can't seem to see the irony in them calling you a hypocrite because you are wearing make-up when you're talking about how you don't give value to external appearances. great poem

[embraceyourinnerdino]

I can't believe how ignorant people can be. So much hate on here!!

If you wore no make-up they would be like "Who do you think you are?"

If you wore what they want you to they would be like "Who do you think you are?"

And yet they are still like who do you think you are?

Don't let there words get you down and let this be a testament to what you fight for!

[MmePoof]

i wish all i had to worry about was being pretty

pff whatever

[PPiecesOOfWWhat]

Wow. Please ignore all the haters who commented your video. I feel bad. I get what you're trying to say....people seem to be misinterpreting it...thinking that you're some precocious hypocrite. Sigh. This is the internet. But no worries, i understand your message and props for making this vid. Keep writing...

[syngar99]

seems like the only thing MOST women have to offer is sex. let's be honest,you can't do any hard labor jobs, you are less logical and more inclined to use sex as a weapon. and let's be honest once more- you are fugly. so i guess as a woman you have nothing to offer humanity except emo vids.

[miaouface]

lol shut the fuck up it's not our fault society thinks you're ugly and that men wouldn't date you so you spent your life hating them and dating women

[GRACExFACE]

@kungfufreddy that literally has nothing to do with what i said. and feminism is not about hating men, it's about equality. and society DOES but more pressure on women to be beautiful. and too many women and men both believe that a woman's worth comes from her appearance. Don't get me wrong, I love men. I'm in a great relationship with one. But that's not the point this girl is making with her poem.

Also i love that you used the phrase "grow a pair." As if being a man is better. case in point.

[kungfufreddy]

@GRACExFACE EVERYTHING IS MENS FAULT SO IM NOT GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR GETTING WHAT I WANT AND JUST BLAME MEN WAAAAH EVERYBODY CALL THE WAAAAHMBULANCE.

grow a pair. lol.

[1000steps2go]

i think this is kind of bad and you make it look hypocritical speaking of natural beauty wearing an inch thick line of eyeliner and bleaching half of your hair blonde to fit whats in among girls,, you try to hard,, your not into it,, maybe its just not your thing but you dont seem to have that emotion and understanding of the subject like real poets have when you speak
