Thank you. I wasn’t to trying to belittle any illness. I also find “educate yourself” an incredibly crass response thrown around, I could not imagine saying that to someone who didn’t understand something.I don’t really think you need to defend yourself to this extent. I didn’t find your original comment that insulting or offensive and I’ve been living with this condition, amongst others, and fighting for a diagnosis (which I eventually got) for years.
This is a discussion forum where we are all entitled to our opinions and have the opportunity to discuss them. I don’t think it’s fair to just throw the phrase “educate yourself” around and I believe it creates animosity whereas discussion and questions are much more healthy. Just my humble opinion.
I followed Emily briefly a long time ago but had to unfollow her as, like you, her page and “content” confused me. I’m sure she’s a nice enough person just trying to get by but how she has sustained a significant following after the initial interest surge, baffles me. Her makeup looks are awful, her fashion is terrible and I genuinely can’t understand what people find interesting about her.
I initially found Cian’s comedy sketches funny and think he really could have gone places with the right guidance and training. Unfortunately he seemed happier falling into the “influencer”category and sold out a bit. That’s where I think it all went wrong and I believe he’s missed his window of opportunity now. It’s a real shame.
I follow several pages of people who live with illness and disabilities who are really inspiring. Fair play to Emily if she can make a living out of her page but I honestly cannot see where the appeal to her followers is.
