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.
