I actually disagree... I think he is age-ing poorly because he DOES know that all his fame is because of Jazz...and his sense of self is both trapped and broken. I think he is extremely aware, but does not know how to cope, so he tries to give his audience other reasons to follow him (fitness etc) aside from Jazz.... hoping it will turn his audience's thoughts into 'Jazz's brother is actually super cool and interesting in a unique, non Jazzy way! And he is hot!' But it wont and I think it keeps him up at night....and the stress is affecting his hairloss and general youthfulness rapidly.
Sander seems to believe that being a C list “celeb” like Jazz, a particularly vacuous state of celebrity where you’re recognized for who you are as opposed to what you did, is desirable and the example he has to follow.
I find it deeply fascinating how the different kids coped with reality TV.
Ari was the oldest and most secure, and seems fairly indifferent to it all, focusing on her studies.
Griff could have been another Sander, but was apparently cured by really good pussy, finding a girlfriend early on who took up much of his time.
He’s still part of the show, but seems preoccupied with his girlfriend and his career/studies.
And that leaves Sander and Jazz.
Jazz doesn’t really count, poor kid never had a chance.
Sander? Needs to fight with Jazz over moms love. Though he can obviously never let it be shown that he envies his poor little twannie sister, so he shoves it deeep down.
His goal in life seems to be to somehow be known for being Sander, the same kind of easy fame Jazz got. (At an unconscionably high price.)
My money are on Sander eventually trooning out. Probably right about the time where Jazz’s obvious, fridge-like body is past 30 and it’s impossible to pretend that he’s a girl anymore.
Sander will come out with the “Live your truth!” Stuff and bravely (try to) represent older troons. This will of course also explain his general failure in life. “He was in the wrong body all along!”
I dont watch the show but sorta lurk this thread and others... I cannot help but feel very sorry for Sander and have to give him a pass on his obnoxious personality. He had no chance. Heartbreaking.
Meh fuck him. He had a chance, somehow his twin brother didn’t end up half the pathetic manlet Sanders is.
Sorry, I got no respect for someone like Sander, who is told the truth every day by total strangers who can see what’s going on.
Sander of course doesn’t listen. But handwave a them away as “haters” or morally inferior to kind Sander.
Which is ultimately his choice.
Not to mention she's wearing a nude lipstick that's the same color as her foundation. Form that brief makeup-less shot, it looks like she's pretty pale with cool undertones. I'd wager she's using a cheap contour pallette too, since those are near universally warm-toned as well.
She looks like a 16yo British party girl and it makes me wonder what her relationship is like with her mom. Me and most of my friends had moms that weren't shy about saying 'that's not very flattering' about our atrocious teenage makeup choices. Obviously you ignore this as a teen, but most women mature into a more sensible makeup style by the mid-twenties after this sort of prodding.
I mean, not to speculate too hard. her parental relationships are probably bad anyway, as she's settling for Sander. Sander is by far the bigger smoking gun.
Edit: Holy shit I just saw the post about her mom. Dang I called it! I feel sad now but I called it!
Dang… Ngl: Pretty impressed by your Sherlock Holmes style accurate sperging based solely on makeup and bf.
This shit is just sad…
Yes, even more sad than dating Sander.
Wtf would someone have to gain by telling perfect strangers about their childhood trauma of a dead mom?
Sympathy and asspats? At what price?
Fuck, I get all the titty and ass flashing “muh body positivity!” Videos. You want guys to tell you that you look hot, without looking like a vapid cunt.
But this shit is beyond me. Especially as “oh btw guise: Mom is DEAD!” Is like a regular thing on her timeline.
