This...doesn't really do anything to repulse me, it's just women dancing in moderate clothes having a good time. Are we Islamic or something? Or is this an attempt to say THIS is what the 'right' object to not the constant slut walks every Friday..
See, this is exactly why this video is so interesting to me. There's nothing starkly wrong about it that you can point to, and we all need to have fun sometimes, and yet the culture one senses behind it is excessive and alienating. The Stanley cups, the makeup, the thoughtlessness. Maybe I'm overgeneralizing, but that culture seems to be the reason that a nobody like David Dobrik is raking in hundreds of millions of dollars a year for posting vlog clips of himself.
You have the observational skills to be a good novelist, of the type that includes a lot of biting social commentary, and is either loved or hated by readers depending on how much they "get it".
Advice from a guy who was finally motivated to write: write. You can't be worse than half the shit that gets published, there are alternatives to Amazon and the Big Three popping up, and it's a great source of a small revenue stream. Oh, and it scratches that creative itch.

This is something I've started to notice when I watch movies.
If I watch a movie made in say 2002, it just feels right. The way they made movies in that era, the cars phones, dress, dialect, etc... just feels very comfortable in ways I don't fully understand and can't fully explain.
If I watch a movie made in 2022 it's not nearly as comfortable an experience,.
I imagine when they start making movies set in 2002 that'll just start to really grate on me (no that mystery meat person would not have existed at that place in 2002, and so on).
The location is what does it for me. They're invading an open and operating gas station. There's a SUV at the pump that can't leave until they're done making their vapid video.

Thanks much... The Bonfire of the Vanities is my favorite book from that genre.

That's what I was alluding to in the second paragraph, it's the mentality that is putting men off.
I feel like THAT repulsion is so ingrained into men now that it takes a woman actively showing she ISN'T part of that to get over the revulsion.
