Does Pretty Privilege Matter? | Kim Kardashian, Chase Hudson, Draya Michele & Prison Bae Ada On Demand 2020-05-04 | In this video, I talk about pretty privilege and why being attractive is often advantageous in one’s career/life, as well as examine specific instances of pretty privilege and how it can often cancel out cancel culture, pun intended. We’ll cover Draya Michele’s child endangerment case, the “Prison Bae'' phenomenon/Jeremy Meeks, Chase Hudson (aka Lil Huddy) and his N-word scandal (ft. Emmuhlu), and lastly Kim Kardashian’s various scandals. The point I hope to make is that pretty privilege or attractiveness is often a safeguard against being “cancelled” in the traditional sense. ---- Social Media ----Twitter: twitter.com/adaondemandInstagram: instagram.com/adaondemand----Timestamps----0:00 - Intro/Agenda01:23 - Analyzing pretty privilege03:06 - Draya Michele & Child Endangerment04:51 - Chase Hudson, TikTok, and the N word06:54 - The “Prison Bae” Phenomenon07:51 - Kim Kardashian----Main Sources----Draya Twitter Thread: mobile.twitter.com/Titanbaddie/status/1252243368303828992Articles on Pretty Privilege:allure.com/story/pretty-privilegehttp://biasandbelief.pbworks.com/w/page/6537193/Halo%20Effects%20of%20Attractivenessindependent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/does-being-beautiful-get-you-further-in-life-10305543.htmlDraya's Crime Report:ftks732kpvy18zwzc2s17egw-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/drayapdf.pdf----Credits----Editor-in-Chief: A.Y.
