>>399095I've found I'm a lot happier when I'm avoiding any YouTubers who fixate on color. I get that being on either extreme is rough and comes with stereotypes, but there's too much anger and insecurity going on. They make it seem like being light or dark skinned can respectively put you on top of the world, or ruin your entire life. I don't believe either to be true in reality.
Some of the things the "exotical" ones complain about are relatable to me, but I feel like they have a lot of personal trauma they haven't resolved, and now they take it out on monoracial, dark-skinned black women as a whole. The dark-skinned YouTubers are much the same, which is why I don't watch them, and I don't like how either group tends to pigeonhole "black features" for their own given agendas. It also just seems wrong for them to be airing out all these digs at eachother in public spaces. Like, you didn't need to make a 1 hour 30 minute video because some nobody on TikTok said something stupid and rude about dark-skinned women, and the same is true vice-versa. Start a diary, make a private group, get group therapy, post somewhere anonymously (jk).
