Fermenting an idea in my mind for two years until I can drop a take about the "dual character of attractiveness" that is completely incomprehensible to anyone but me
This recent thing honestly feels like she is deliberately being inflammatory for attention, some of the things she says in the first video do not make sense to me otherwise.
