I mean he's talented, but the way he's feeding into these disturbing conversations about Millie
by purposely making her look at least 10 years older than she is, trash. Hey welcome back to
me talking about whatever I want. Today I want to talk about Millie Bobby Brown and
this really creepy situation surrounding her on the internet that I don't see too many people
talking about. First of course, I want to give a quick comment shout out from the last video. This
comment from Honey says, "I'm convinced Angelo is an alien, trying to understand humanity,
and we are all failing him. On behalf of the human race, I'm so sorry." Honestly, this person might
have just predicted the future because if this video isn't an indication that the human race
failed a long time ago, I don't know what is. So for those of you who don't know, Millie Bobby
Brown is a 15 year old actress and she is most popular for her role as 11 in Netflix's hugely
successful Stranger Things. I feel like most people have heard of Millie Bobby Brown or at
the very least seen her, especially back when Stranger Things was first premiering. Well,
because she's a huge celebrity. There's a lot of discourse about, what kind of person she is, the
kinds of things she wears, this, that the other. And to a certain extent, this conversation is
pretty normal, pretty standard stuff. But recently some really, really disturbing conversations have
been popping up surrounding Millie, Bobby Brown and the things that she does on the internet.
Now, I just want to give a quick disclaimer, this video is not criticizing Millie Bobby Brown at
all. First of all, as I said, she's 15 years old, but even more than that, she doesn't really choose
how she dresses. Because she's a celebrity, there's a stylist behind her, there's a team,
there's people with money trying to brand her a certain way and give her a certain look. So
there's really nothing I have to say about Millie Bobby Brown specifically, other than that she does
a pretty good job on Stranger Things. So this conversation reached its peak when she wore this
dress to the Screen Actors Guild Award. So as you can see from these pictures, it's this white Louis
Vuitton dress. And by the way, this is a custom Louis Vuitton dress, which I think is important
to point out. She didn't just pick this up off the shelf. Her stylist had this created specifically
for her. The dress features this plunging neckline. There's a whole lot of this visible. And
as you can see from this closer look, I'm going to insert these people applied her makeup so heavily.
They basically dressed her the same way you would dress an actress who is like 24. But of course,
Millie Bobby Brown hasn't even turned 16 yet. That's where my personal opinion on the dress and
the look and all that. I just, I thought it was weird. It was to the point where I didn't think
it was Millie Bobby Brown. The picture popped up and it said, "Millie Bobby Brown." And I was like,
"I don't think so." I mean, once I looked at it, I can obviously see that as her, but they
are working so hard to make this girl look so much older than she is. And it really makes me question
what the intentions are behind wanting a 15 year old to look like an adult. As for whether she's
allowed to wear the dress, that's really not for me to decide. I mean, first of all, I'm not even
enough to afford a Louis Vuitton custom dress, let alone a personal stylist. I mean, she didn't
show up to the awards in a bikini, thankfully, but I can't pretend like this design wasn't
purposely created to accentuate certain features. That is specifically what the point of a plunging
neckline is to draw attention to this area. And personally, I think drawing attention to that
area on a 15 year old is the worst thing I've ever heard in my entire life. But again, that is not a
reflection on Millie Bobby Brown, because she did not create this stress. And ultimately if she did
and she wanted to wear it, that's really on her. But no, she looked 30. Okay. I do not know why
they did her makeup like that. It makes me feel bad for her because I can tell what they're trying
to do. They're trying to give her this mature older look, but all it's doing is making her
look strange and a little bit scary mostly because I think it's upsetting to the average person to
see someone who you know is 15 and registered them as seeming like they're 30 years old. Because of
this and of course sparks some controversy online, I'm only going to read these three tweets from it.
This person said "Millie, Bobby Brown stylists should be sacked. She's just 15 years old,
but looked at least 30 at the Screen Actors Guild Award last night. So dis-serving" And
this other ones said, "Millie Bobby Brown is 15 years old. Everyone who's responsible for
this look needs to get fired." Now, just so we're clear, I completely agree with these tweets for
the sole reason that they are not attacking Millie Bobby Brown or the way she looks,
which I think is good. These tweets were very specific and saying that the stylists and everyone
behind her look needs to be addressed. And that is 100% my stance on it. I, as a 21 year old man,
I'm not going to sit on the internet and dictate what Millie Bobby Brown should or should not wear
as a 15 year old girl. But I sure as heck am going to criticize the people who put her in that dress.
That was creepy enough, right? But of course the internet can't leave well enough alone. As
I was searching for discourse about this whole issue, I found this article from Popdust.com,
but this is where things get creepy. This Pop dust article is called "Millie Bobby Brown is
allowed to be hot." Now here's the thing. I don't want it to take this article out of context. The
reason they put hot in quotation marks like that is because this article is supposedly addressing
this exchange between Paris Hilton and Evan Rachel Wood. So Millie Bobby Brown posted this
picture of her in this cheetah print dress. And the one that only Paris Hilton commented,
"That's hot." To which the actress, Evan Rachel Wood replied, "She's 15." Now I
think this is like a gray issue because if you know Paris Hilton or you're familiar with her,
you'll know that her catchphrase is, "That's hot." I was watching her do this cooking
video. And like she pulled a spoon out of the drawer and was like, "That's hot." So I don't
personally believe that Paris Hilton meant that in a creepy way, when she commented that's hot.
However, it's still creepy because Millie Bobby Brown is literally 15 years old. Like Paris
what were you thinking? So I don't think Evan Rachel Wood was wrong for just reminding both
Paris and the general viewer that Millie Bobby Brown is in fact, 15 years old. Well, this Pop
dust article is... Why am I calling it Pop dust? This publication is just dust. That's what your
website is. This dusty musty article suggests that Millie Bobby Brown is allowed to be hot. And that
it shouldn't have been weird that Paris Hilton was saying Millie Bobby Brown's outfit was hot.
So again, for full context, I don't think this article is completely with bad intentions because
this part right here says, "To shame Millie Bobby Brown for dressing, how she wants to dress,
how many teenagers dress is definitely the wrong route. Women, even 15 year olds should be allowed
to wear what ever they weren't without fear of backlash, shaming, or unwanted objectification."
So obviously I'm not going to disagree with that. I would hope that's common sense,
but sadly it's not. And if this is all the article was, I think it would be fine. The thing about
creepy people is they can't hide their creepiness, right? They might mask it behind intentions like,
"Oh, well, I'm just standing up for Millie's right to wear whatever she wants without being ashamed."
But if they're creepy people, the creepiness is going to jump out in the other things that
they're saying and that is what's going on here. Listen to me read some of my favorite favorite
quotes from this, dust bin article, "The world has watched Millie Bobby Brown star of the hit
Netflix show Stranger Things, transition from her prepubescent child with a shaved head to a young
woman with 30 million followers on Instagram." Why are we using the word prepubescent let's not.
"In an age of hyper objectification and teenagers getting plastic surgery, Millie Bobby Brown feels
like a reminder of America's lost innocence." Okay. First of all, she's not American. So
I'm not sure what this is supposed to be. But secondly, this whole innocence angle is really
creepy and putting Millie on this sort of weird pedestal that I don't think she's ever put herself
on the hold on. But hold on you didn't think those were the only creepy quotes did you? No,
this article just gets worse and worse the more you scroll down. "In recent months, a change
has begun to make itself known on the actress's Instagram account. Her posts have taken on a more
sultry, even adult nature. For example, the post Brown shared on October 29th shows the actress
in a satin leopard print, mini dress, looking defiantly at the camera with her mouth slightly
open. The second photo in the post is a mirror selfie in which she pouts at the camera as light
falls, flatteringly on her torso." Can't do this. Just say she wore a dress and people started
criticizing her for it and go, we do not need these verbose descriptions of how the light was
falling on this kid's torso. Now here's where, in my opinion, this article gets absolutely
inexcusable. They start playing this. What if game? "It's interesting to consider whether if
Kylie Jenner had posted an identical picture at the age of 15 and Paris had commented,
"That's hot." Would anyone have raised an eyebrow? Was Evan Rachel Wood so defensive of Brown because
of legitimate altruism or because like the rest of us" that's very telling by the way this person
says, "Like the rest of us" in other words like me, "She wants our precious 11 to stay a sexless,
innocent child in order to keep with our uncomplicated cultural view of her." Did
people criticize her look for her sake or because it made them uncomfortable. Of course,
it made people uncomfortable. She looks 30 and she is not. And it is not her fault.
It is because people are doing this to her. So yes, that makes me very uncomfortable in
the same way that it is absolutely inappropriate to objectify Brown. Is it not also inappropriate
and unfair to forcefully ignore her completely. So when I read the absolute mental gymnastics that,
that article was going through, I started to realize that this might've been a larger issue
than I first anticipated. So in my searching for like the things people were saying about Millie
Bobby Brown, I encountered this subeditor. Now here's the thing. It's not like the subeditor is
like names secret, hidden Millie Bobby Brown fan club, subeditor is called R/Millie Bobby
Brown two. Like it comes up if you type Millie Bobby Brown on Reddit. So this isn't like some
sort of secret society. It is right there. And you're about to be really creeped out,
that something this creepy is this public. So basically the Millie Bobby Brown two subeditor
is just a bunch of pictures and videos of Millie Bobby Brown. People are taking them from her
social media and re-posting them to the Reddit. Now right off the bat, I wouldn't say that this
is creepy just because she's famous. And people have always been, infatuated with celebrities. But
oh boy, I was able to very quickly piece together why the majority of the people in that subeditor
were there just from looking at their comments. This person commented under one of the photos,
gorgeous exclamation point. It can easily be said that this comment is just from a fan girl
or a stan or some kid who wants to look like Millie Bobby Brown. That wouldn't be weird at
all. However, I went to this person's profile on Reddit. And as you can see, they are in all
not safe for work subedits like just all kinds of inappropriate photos of celebrities. That is
what they use they're Reddit account for. Every time you see that little red tag, that's a not
safe for work marker. It's not even like this person engages on those subedits every now and
then their whole account was that. And they are also posting on the Millie Bobby Brown subeditor.
Here, we have this person that commented just the heart eyes emoji. And again, that by itself is not
really great. However, I go to their profile. It's all not safe for work just talking about
various body parts and various celebrities. This person says beautiful heart eyes went to
their account. They are only in not safe for work Reddit communities, and what I think makes it even
creepier is that they put that same beautiful comment under an Emma Watson pic. And they put
that same heart eyes emoji under I'm not safe for work image. So like they are commenting on Millie
Bobby Brown, subeditor the same way that they were commenting on all these, not for work celebrity
subedits. This person says, "Stunning" that by itself is not creepy however, bam, it's all not
safe for work account. So this is legitimately the most upsetting conclusion I could have come to.
I did not think that this was going on so publicly, but someone has to say something
because I don't see people talking about this. Someone should be talking about this. It gets
worse though. Another thing that people post on the subeditor are videos of Millie Bobby Brown,
dancing on Ti Tod or doing various exercises. So as you can see right here, someone uploaded
a video of her working out. And I can see in the comments that someone used a tool to download this
video. So I really, really, really want to know what you need a video of a 15 year old working
out, downloaded to your hard drive. And then that was just me digging. If I just look at it
as a whole, you can still find creepy stuff right off the bat. This person commented "Sweet Jesus,
drool emoji, heart eyes emoji" Someone posted her Screen Actors Guild dress, and someone commented,
"Too adult uncomfortable." And then they got down voted into the negatives for saying that.
That someone followed up probably because she's a child and this outfit accentuates her chest,
which in my opinion is a perfectly valid reason to be uncomfortable. And then this person says,
"I'm not complaining." So yeah, basically I found a secret subeditor that's not so secret. That is
completely devoted to inappropriate context pictures of Millie Bobby Brown. Now just to
wrap this up and reinforce the fact that this is not a criticism of Millie herself, I am going to
call out the person responsible for most of this person is named Thomas Carter Phillips. Now Thomas
Phillips is a celebrity stylist. From looking at his website I can see that the most high profile
client he has right now is Millie Bobby Brown. So many of these pictures are of her looking
way older than her age. Like look at this glamor picture right here. Look at the way he does her
makeup to make her look like an adult. Look at this lacy get up this makeup he has her in right
here with this red off the shoulder sweater thing. Like every time he gets his hands on her wardrobe,
she comes out looking like an adult and not a child. He does her makeup so heavily and he
chooses outfits that look like something a 24 year old would wear. Look at Millie Bobby Brown, how
she looks in Stranger Things versus how she looks when Thomas Carter Phillips is involved. Now, I
don't think any of the outfits Millie Bobby Brown has worn have been particularly devious. It's not
like she's dressing like Mikey Cyrus used to, but everything is controlled. So this whole disturbing
conversation she has surrounding her and the way she dresses and how objectified she is, that is
controlled. They are purposely making her look older and they are feeding into that conversation.
They are making no effort to dispel the sort of thing. And that is my issue with all of this.
So yeah, the article trash, that subeditor trash Thomas Carter Phillips, he's talented,
but the way he's feeding into these disturbing conversations about Millie by purposely making her
look at least 10 years older than she is trash. This is such a deep rooted issue that I'm not
going to make a difference just by making this one video about it. It's not going to dry up
overnight, but it's definitely not going to start changing unless people
do start talking about it. So even if this video doesn't work, ultimately who cares.
