In an article published in, of all things, “Feminist Media Studies,” a renowned “gender studies scholar” has claimed that a YouTube show which features people eating increasingly spicy hot wings, “creates, maintains, and manipulates inequitable gender hierarchies.”
The show, “Hot Ones,” apparently reinforces notions of toxic masculinity by forcing celebrities to eat a plate of hot wings while they discuss their latest project. On the show, each celebrity starts with mild wings and then keeps eating up the spiciness chain until they reach their own personal hot wing of doom.
