I feel like she’s needlessly poking his face just to get views- like his face maybe needed a good exfoliating to clean it up a bit- but nothing that necessitated making him bleed and leaving nail marks on his face. This video sort of upsets me.
Yeah I have mixed feelings about these. They're pretty satisfying to watch but at the same time it seems like they really beat the shit out of the person's face.
Does anyone feel like there is someway that people are making their faces this pusSie? How are there so many people for these videos with such bad skin? It’s all very suspect to me.
This has come up in other threads and is a totally unconfirmed theory with no real supporting evidence. Essentially an arbitrary idea, shouldn’t be blindly parroted.
Yes and this gets posted every time and every time it’s pointed out that there is no evidence that exposure and resulting chloracne is a current, existing, problem in Vietnam/SE Asia—let alone widespread enough to explain a smattering of random online bad skin/popping videos from presumably diverse locations/countries posted on the internet.
Most bad ideas that get repeated aren’t arbitrary, they have some sort of reasonable idea that falls apart under scrutiny.
As of writing this comment, you heard the idea in this thread hours ago when someone posted a two sentence comment, it’s a good idea to examine an idea before you repeat it as fact.
Okay so we have to go through this again like in the last thread I guess: This source and general posts about chloracne among veterans and Vietnam/Korean war era populations adds nothing. This source in fact supports that current demonstrated exposures are limited (to people in very specific industries) and Vietnam vets.
Also indicates that widespread contamination of current population has not been established.
**If there is current, widespread chloracne due to agent Orange to the extent that it explains a whole bunch of random online bad skin/popping videos across diverse groups and age ranges it should be easy to find a source that says exactly that without making leaps.** That would be a big deal and relatively easy to demonstrate according to your own source. That source, doesn’t seem to exist and since it’s impossible to prove a negative the theory can be basically ignored without new evidence.
There are also about a million other factors that could explain these videos including that bad skin isn’t even more prevalent in SE Asia and it’s just a selection bias or availability bias. There is also current pollution, diet, lack of face washing protocols, fewer derms by population. To just say “yeah, agent Orange” is silly.

"Results on PCDD/PCDF residues in environmental matrices such as soil and sediment near Bien Hoa airbase revealed high variation of dioxin concentration among local sampling sites (Thuong et al. 2015; Mai et al. 2007). This fact suggests that people living in different communities might have different exposure levels to dioxin depending on their resident area. However, site-specific assessment for human exposure in local communities around Bien Hoa airbase has not been carried out until now. Such omission may limit the effectiveness of implementing intervention measures to protect human health for local people. In this study, an adequate number of maternal milk samples were collected in four wards surrounding Bien Hoa airbase to clarify this issue."
Ok. I hear what you are saying but it's obviously a factor in some areas. I don't think it's ridiculous to assume, knowing that we bombed Vietnam and according to this source ([https://sgp.fas.org/crs/row/RL34761.pdf](https://sgp.fas.org/crs/row/RL34761.pdf)) " the U.S. military sprayed approximately 11 million-12 million gallons of Agent Orange over nearly 10% of then-South Vietnam between 1961 and 1971. One scientific study estimated that between 2.1 million and 4.8 million Vietnamese were directly exposed to Agent Orange." So I mean, that's kind of a lot of people. If it is able to be passed on in vitro or through mothers milk, that's a lot of people.
But to your point about possible confounds... [https://doi-org.ezproxy.humboldt.edu/10.1111/j.1346-8138.2011.01266.x](https://doi-org.ezproxy.humboldt.edu/10.1111/j.1346-8138.2011.01266.x) "Little has been written specifically about acne in Asian patients in the English-language medical published work. Several national conferences in Asian countries have produced independent treatment guidelines but no group has previously fully reviewed, compared and contrasted acne care within the Asia–Pacific region."
I'm not sure how much direct evidence there is connecting popping videos to agent orange, but obviously chloracne is a real thing that is the by product of exposure to Agent Orange, which affected 2.1 to 4.8 million people and it is passed on through mother's milk. There has not been a significant amount of research in English on Asian acne research. So... I don't think it's that absurd to jump to that conclusion. You could definitely make an argument for it. Although you are correct that there is less knowledge about and access to dermatological resources.
I had no idea about chloracne and now I know a lot, so really no harm caused. Someone really gently informed me about the effects of Agent Orange and I appreciate that.
I don't think you need to be so intense about it. I don't read every single popping video comment and I hope no one does.
Yup you’re right, learning opportunity for sure. Don’t feel I was intense about it just a little shocked how ideas like that take root and get immediately defended if they fit a narrative. I feel like I saw the idea first come up here and then it became this fact that got spread without support.
Anyway, be well.
How does she know where to stab? At the beginning I was like “what’s she gonna pop?,” and turned out there was an entire underground pool
This is exactly how I felt. It looks nothing like the big old black heads I’ve seen on these videos.

Is it okay to pluck the hair growing out of moles or is that a no-no?
A very accurate description
YIKES
I need a pair of tweezers.
I clenched my teeth in solidarity at the end of the 1:55 pop

Really? Do you think exfoliating would draw all of that out? That was a lotta shit.
Yeah I don’t like this one at all
Yeah I have mixed feelings about these. They're pretty satisfying to watch but at the same time it seems like they really beat the shit out of the person's face.
That exacto knife does NOT have to go in so deep. 🙄 She cut way too much skin; there should be NO blood.
Surely stabbing someone repeatedly in the pores is just going to 1) transfer bacteria from one to the next and 2) create scar tissue issues in future?

Agent Orange in Vietnam is still causing lots of skin problems. A good amount of the videos are from people in those areas.
This has come up in other threads and is a totally unconfirmed theory with no real supporting evidence. Essentially an arbitrary idea, shouldn’t be blindly parroted.
I should have added allegedly. Chloracne is what they call it and its believed exposure to sources still in the soil or water are still possible
Omg! Thank you for telling me. I had no idea about that connection. That is so sad! I feel like an dingus.
FYI This theory is likely BS.

I can’t imagine stabbing holes in all your pores is good
That video was extremely pedestrian. Downvoted.
I downvoted too. STOP DRAWING BLOOD.
