I was just coming on to say the same thing. I don’t often agree with anything Marion posts. On this occasion I also agree but for very different reasons. These influencers also don’t realise the more the call for regulation the harder it will be to keep pushing their fake lives on vulnerable and gullible people. So it’s a win win
Just posted this on another thread in response to another influence, in response to their glee at the regulations...think it’s relevant here too!
I’d happily log in with ID but then I’d also like social media to then
not allow comments to be deleted.
I’d like people to know that I personally disagree with flogging lifestyles and tat to women to make them feel like they are ‘keeping up’ when really it is promoting debt and self doubt.
I’d like people to know I disagree with the purchasing of more household items to replace perfectly functioning items over buying and using for a long period of time and considering environmental impact.
I’d like people to know I disagree with publishing every private moment of your children’s life on social media.
I’d like people to know that I disagree with influencers promoting ‘manifesting stuff’ over working regular jobs with promotions, pensions, job security, holiday and sick pay.
I‘d like people to know I disagree with filtered images and selling body confidence over exercising and eating well- including salads.
I‘d like people to know I disagree with the ‘gin o’clock’ bollocks of only getting through raising kids by drinking over enjoying good moments and understanding the exhaustion of parenting.
I’d like people to know that I disagree claiming mental health issues when everything doesn’t go right over understanding that there are many emotions in life and mental illness is different and needs more than a bath bomb to be fixed.
I‘d like people to know that woman being sold the nonsense that is ‘be kind’ doesn’t exonerate people from accountability and ‘be fair’ is more responsible.
I would happily use ID and my name to attach to comments associated with all of the above, because when this whole nonsense comes back to hurt their children and many other people, I will be able to say I stood up against it, I saw it and I said something.
(Edited to add, the children comments obviously aren’t relevant here but he has mentioned children in context of content!)
