Tell me, who can eat?

There are hundreds of mukbangers and flood vloggers in India, with individuals earning lakhs of rupees through just eating delicious, and sometimes weird, food. However, those mukbang creators who do not follow stereotypical ideas of gender, caste and class meet with differential treatment.

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

April 2025: Masculinities and Sexuality

Masculinities broadly refers to the sets of attributes, behaviours, and expectations commonly associated with men or ‘male power’ in a given culture. With those very broad strokes, we could paint beautiful large canvases that glow richly with translucent colours spreading joy, vitality, and an abundant sense of wellbeing. However, in the current state of our world, the canvases are small, ill-proportioned and thickly layered with carelessly slapped-on murky hues; almost as if men, today, need to be shielded by thick dark crusts of the protections offered by newer and ever more curious forms of masculinities that are harmful to self and others.

UPCOMING ISSUE:

May 2025: Masculinities and Sexuality
