Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels sparked controversy by questioning the celebration of singer Lizzo's body, arguing that obesity should not be glamorized due to health risks. While the "body positivity" movement encourages self-acceptance, critics like Michaels worry it ignores the medical realities of heart disease and diabetes. The segment explores how corporate marketing, such as Dove's campaigns, has influenced the shift toward "body neutrality."
The cultural concept of "the cookout" is defined as a safe space for Black community and culture where individuals do not have to "code switch." Max Kellerman being "invited to the cookout" by fans for his support of Kaepernick is criticized, especially after Kellerman acknowledged his own white privilege while claiming he would not give it up. The segment argues that the "woke" crowd's validation of white allies can sometimes be superficial or misguided.
A BuzzFeed clip introduces "Mistress Velvet," a dominatrix who incorporates black feminist theory into her BDSM sessions with white men. She requires her "slaves" to write essays on intersectional texts as a way to process their white guilt. The hosts express shock and disgust, arguing that the power dynamic is actually inverted because the white men are paying for a curated experience that makes them feel better.
