A New Beauty Standards Theory, Mahjong's Rebrand & Are Men Getting Woman'd?
About this episode
The episode discusses new beauty standards, the rebranding of Mahjong, and the phenomenon of male celebrities facing public backlash.
Mahjong’s getting appropriated… again, a TikTok posits a new beauty standards theory, and is this male actor getting woman’d? You can watch this episode on YouTube ! We're back with some chit chat about life and Emma Chamberlain's new furniture collab with West Elm . The New York Times published a story in March called Playing Games With The Decor . In the article, they profile the women behind Oh My Mahjong, an "elevated" Mahjong set made by... white women. We dissect the internet's reaction . TikTok user and host of Schauer Thoughts, Sarah Schauer , has posited a beauty standards theory about colour and texture that has us rethinking everything. Next, is Timothee Chalamet the first male celeb to be truly woman'd? The specific type of phenomenon (where the public, usually on social media, suddenly and collectively stops liking a female celebrity or influencer) often only happens to women. But is Timothee Chalamet the first man to experience this specific type of cancellation? We reference writer Otegha Uwagba's article for Grazia UK. In Bookmarked, Jas recommends The Drama in a round-about spoiler-free way while Maggie recommends The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Thank…
