One thing that really intrigues me about Dakota is that she wants to be seen as an intellectual, a voracious reader, a writer, and an 'I'm just a girl/lobotomy-core' girl at the same time. But she's also a femme fatale who sleeps with older men/seduces her teachers, a simple Catholic girl from rural Australia, a hedonistic European aristocrat, someone who cares about social justice but is completely apolitical—the list goes on and on...
And her friends sweating in full suits during italian heat while cosplaying as old money while hiding their strawberry vapes from their social media posts

Spiking drinks is awful and shouldn't be happening. But..... I doubt the person that spiked her drink cares about reading books? Out of everything she could've said she really chose this? Yikes

Sadly for fans of cringe everywhere, Dakota and Darcy broke up a while ago 😥

Was going to make a post about Dakota’s syntactical and grammatical terrorism as seen in her breakup blog entry “Nowhere Girl Becomes Everywhere Girl,” (yes, she does somehow make the post itself even more cringe than the title) but everyone should just go read it.

I will leave you with this excerpt:

“Yesterday evening I stared into a mirror wondering if I was an awful person because I’ve moved on so fast until I learned my ex lover has made nightly habit of chasing drugs and fucking strangers and picking fights in bars (and then calling me over and over until I turn my phone off whilst I’m cradled in someone else’s arms). Listen, I know I said I like bad boys, ‘cause I’ve never been much good with the good ones, but I didn’t mean *this* bad.”

The drug-chasing stranger-fucking bar-fighting bad boy is depicted below:

Ironic that she posted a TikTok shading people that ask about "aesthetics" when she is literally one of the most aesthetic-driven people on that app. Her whole identity is built on dark academia lol.

Also does the gas mask guy just lug around his disgustung mask and wear it everytime his friends want to take a picture with him, he reminds me of highschool furrys
---
I feel like they’re just friends with him for the house lol. A place where they can film themselves in to pretend they’re The Secret History characters before going back to their shoeboxes in London.

Also, Matalas is a weirdo wannabe. He follows several trad lifestyle accounts with content such as this:

Which is very interesting given these people are all social media influencers who only know how to party and post themselves while doing so, the furthest thing from a traditional religious person you can imagine.

Dakota tries to portray a progressive image on social media but she gives me “no politics on the table” vibes. Probably someone who read the passage about Henry Winter not knowing about the moon landing and thought it was cool and aspirational instead of pathetic lol.

Her poetry be like:


The Sun was resplendent today,
I did Ballet
I became decadent like a God, so I swallow him
But He's not you.

She's ridiculous. She acts for the viewer, not for herself. That's why she fronts with the style and reading "tastes" she has. Take wordhippo away from her and what does she have?

Dakota has created some art/writing submission page. The idea is she writes a prompt, people create “art” responding to that prompt, then she “curates” the submissions and puts them on the website to quote “give back” to her audience for making her dreams come true.

The girl is absolutely daft. She said she is going to be getting THOUSANDS OF *MONTHLY* SUBMISSIONS and posted an Instagram story a couple days ago (wish I took a screenshot) asking for advice on how to deal with the immense volume of work she is set to receive. She used the word thousands two times in the post.

Only someone with a delusionally elevated view of themself (and failure to comprehend internet engagement) would think that a project they have just announced and barely promoted will be overrun with people trying to submit new work they specially created for it.

Oh wow glad this chick has a thread. I feel so dumb because I found her and that whole crew (Matalas guy etc) from that summer they were making those tsh inspired videos. I stupidly thought it was like self aware ironic because she is clearly a grown ass woman, and I also grew up in that tsh obsessed tumblr era they seemed to be referencing. So I thought it was a joke. (That Matalas guy can be genuinely funny as well…) Always thought her writing was terrible but I thought it was COMEDY. Like she was doing it badly on purpose, playing a character. But even that got annoying to me and over time it dawned on me she’s dead serious… lmfaoooooo.

I unfollowed her when she posted her outs and ins for 2025, in one of which she tried to claim seasonal colour analysis was “like phrenology” (or something) which was just such an insane and offensive take simply to try and look smart. I remember thinking her colour analysis must have said she shouldn’t wear red and she got pissed about it lol.

I’m also from Melbourne and frankly it says A LOT that she’d even be too pretentious and cringe for even the northern suburbs here. I honestly think she would’ve been torn apart if she stayed here, there’s just no way she could’ve survived with this persona lol. A lot of our most pretentious flee to London and then try to lord it over everyone else via Instagram stories for the rest of time. Nobody actually cares.

If someone told me "you look like you've had a lobotomy", I wouldn't be sharing that with others of my own volition. Christ.

The problem is, she is not nearly interesting or talented enough to justify being this pretentious. Even if she was, it's so incredibly forced. She's just a privileged white girl who published mediocre poetry, that enough people bought because she cultivates a specific aesthetic. The whole gothic Lolita thing is not gonna fly when she's 36 and unemployed. The extent of her narcissism never ceases to amaze me.

The thing is, I don't immediately think 'lobotomy' when I see her desperately eye-fucking herself in the viewfinder/camera.

I think 'you poor desperately bland girl trying to seem sultry in a manic pixie dream girl kind of way, one day you'll grow out of this and feel deeply embarrassed'. But, hey, that's just me.

Just to clarify: the milk thing is based on the eugenicist premise that white people can digest cow's milk better because they're genetically superior. Drinking milk in photos/videos is a way to affirm and signal their beliefs. It started on forums like 4chan, and it's spreading everywhere, that's why so many white supremacists have a glass of milk emoji beside their names on that hell hole called Twitter/X. And, for the record, I'm not trying to say that Dakota is a white supremacist, I don't know her at all. However, I think that, for someone so obsessed with aesthetics and symbolism, her decision to keep making these posts so frequently, when she's been warned about the optics, is dubious.

So many people shit on Ruby for every detail of her life, and of course I find her ridiculous, but no one provides me such an immersive experience of total cringe as Dakota. Even the shortest tiktok is a treasure trove of bizarre pretensions. All her actions, from the way she moves to the way she eats, are so excruciatingly performative that I can’t believe my eyes when I look at her comments to find them bare of all criticism.

In her YouTube videos, she can never say anything in a natural way. Everything comes out stilted because she’s trying sooo hard to seem like an intellectual. The best part is despite laboring over her words, her lack of a basic understanding of the English language makes it come out jumbled and inarticulate. She constantly uses words and phrases slightly wrong, or just plain wrong. And mispronounces things as often as she can.

I wish she posted more. The gulf between her ability as a writer and reader and the image she projects is enormous and makes for pure entertainment. If anyone has a recommendation of another creator who produces similar “pretentious cringe,” please let me know. It’s what I crave.

Why does she talk like that? Like she's trying to bump up an essay word count. It doesn't make you sound intelligent, it makes you sound pompous.
If you ever read The Secret History by Donna Tartt it's pretty easy to understand why she talks like that since the book is her whole personality. She completely idolizes the characters and thinks she's Camilla Macaulay, the whole satirical aspect went completely over her head because she got obsessed with the aesthetics (ironically that's Donna's main criticism throughout her writing... people who care more about aesthetics than substance).

The book is about a bunch of pretentious people who think they're way more important and intelligent than they really are, many things happen that I won't elaborate on bc they're spoilers, then they kill their friend (that's not a spoiler) and I kid you not she did say on a video she'd gladly kill a friend if it meant she could hang with those people and be in the same situations as them. Jack better watch out!
