This is Yasmine Nolastname. To me

i love you characters that are only valued for their looks i love you characters that were made to believe they have nothing to offer but their body i love you characters who use beauty to survive i love you characters whose beauty brings them pain i love you characters who are seen as objects i love you characters who see themselves as objects i love you characters who can't stand to not be pretty i love you characters who can't stand to be pretty anymore

#okay but the way her fucking canon love interest talks about her #implies she has nothing to offer EXCEPT really good looks #and popularity and a nebulous “dream girl” concept #but the cobra kai fandom ain't ready for that conversation yet #she really does seem to objectify herself if her S4 behavior is at all genuine #even in S1 she's implied to have an ED and makes fun of a plus size girl #so we know she's obsessed with staying skinny #she used beauty to get to the top of the school food chain probably #but after she got humiliated in 1x09 the same beauty probably brought her pain because like #everyone ditched her so fast that it seemed like being hot really WAS all she had to offer #and then in the end??? The only person we see her get romantically involved with onscreen #is still #after everything #ONLY into her for her looks #it's actually pretty sad #Yasmine never gets to grow and find herself and discover what she has to offer besides her body #she's trapped in an endless cycle of objectification and being denied autonomy and personhood #so she can further everyone else's narrative (particularly the very male characters who objectify her)#while never getting one of her own #and WHY are more people not talking about how there is something very wrong with that???#yasmine cobra kai
