Eve Cornwell

[bcfc999]

People in the comments asking her to make a video on Depp vs Heard. Please no.

Why is in her mind being openly lgbtq = being unprofessional. Like I get that traditional business wear can be considered heteronormative (and generally not inclusive), but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on a table in your dirty ass converse for a talk?

I know this has been touched on previously but Eve's insistence on branding herself as some ceiling-shattering working class queer icon is genuinely really frustrating. I get that she's come out fairly recently, but I really fail to see how anything she does is groundbreaking. Inferring that corporate dress-codes are somehow homophobic is just so ridiculous and steers the conversation away from real issues of sexism and homophobia in the legal working world. Also, pretty sure this is common sense but there's no inherent aesthetic to being an out queer woman, forcing yourself to adhere to what TikTok views as 'dressing gay' is no more liberating than dressing any other way.

Thing is though that Eve doesn’t earn *that* much. It’s nothing compared to the money the gf’s family has. If she was in it for money I guess she’d go for someone actually rich, not Eve. Maybe it’s the popularity thing, not that Eve is super popular outside of studytubers community though.

I thought she did earn a lot? Around £60k second year trainee lawyers at LinkLaters earn? I think for a 23 y/o, that is VERY good. Her salary will only go up with experience. She will easily reach £100ks... So while it is not as much as her gf’s family have, it is still a lot.

Maybe Eve is also in it for the money The gf’s house had a value of £600k in 2009. Then when her family bought it, it cost them almost £2.5mil in 2015... When the parents pass it on, that will be over £1 million each for the gf and her two siblings. There are set up for life.

Also, something that annoys me about Eve. She has consistently talked about her background and how she doesn‘t come from money and that her parents didn‘t pay for this and that. While that may be partially true, she portrays herself as some kind of working class, self-made success story. Chesire, Chester is an alright area first of all. But also, in some of the videos, you can see the house. It is in a neighbourhood of detached houses only - quite residential with large gardens... Inside of the house, it appears to be spacious. I wish she‘d knock off the ‘oh I am so poor’ thing. Like address your privilege girl.

I feel a bit insulted as a straight woman tbh, I don't dress for men just because I am sexually attracted to some of them? I dress for me!

 

[DimpleFace]

She sure loves perpetuating gender stereotypes. So because you dressed a little mismatched/tomboyish it means you were a obvious lesbian?? Like what is her point here.

 

[lolwhyamihere21]

This new generation coming up is obsessed with sexuality and gender. There is a blurring between public and private, and I think it has to do with the rise of capitalism. I read Debord’s “Society of the Spectacle” a few years ago, and it spoke about this sort of hyper-individualism being a byproduct of consumerism.

yes eve can be extremely cringe and gets on my nerves as well, but generally I think people being comfortable figuring out their sexuality and gender identity is great and something to be celebrated. if she's a bit cringe in the process of doing so that's fun to gossip about but why make it into a "this generation" thing.

 

[Franno1999]

just watched the (surprise surprise skillshare sponsored) video, and she seems so fake now? I understand she's done a lot of self-realising etc (as a memeber of the LGBT+ community I understand this is a huge thing for someone) but idk I feel since coming out she's completely changed in a bad way? All the talking with over exaggerated hand movement, the constant head bobbing, the weird wide eyes stare she gives to the camera as she talks, even the way she says things? everything is just so over exaggerated and unnatural feeling? Am i the only one? (also why has she started saying "because" like "becoise" its so weird lol)

 

[YellowLadybird]

You just know it's going to be all about ** personal growth ** which isn't a bad thing per se but God, I wish she was gonna spill some tea about what it's really like in that kind of environment.

 

[DietGossip]

am i the only one that thinks her new video’s title is hilarious? She’s acting as if it’s an amazing promotion that she deserved. After 2 year you’re a qualified solicitor. Plus someone (I think) on here said that you usually stay on to becoming an associate in the firm where you did your training. It’s not incredible eve

Is her new video her monthly skillshare advert?

Studies have shown that women fare less well when their sex is made obvious in the workplace

That's a workplace issue, not an issue with pronouns. We should be making workplaces more inclusive, not taking issue with people for simply making it easier to address them in a way they feel comfortable.

I can't stand her videos at the moment, they just sound like she's trying to be clever by using terms like "toxic productivity echo chamber" but honestly what did she say in that video? The only points I got out of it were 1. productivity is a social construct and babies aren't born trying to be productive (no shit?) and 2. she bought a Nintendo switch...

I agree, I think her editing is impressive and actually sets her apart from most of the other YouTubers/influencers. But what is she actually saying? nothing, it’s all show and no substance. The last video I was looking forward to as the premise is interesting but she made it so boring and it just lacked any insightful content into actual toxic productivity? She talked about happiness and then suddenly it was over lol,

I don’t like the fact that she goes months between posting a video and then when she does it’s a AD, seems money grabbing and like the only reason she’s back is to do this ad? I completely get she’s working but then wouldn’t the videos you make be because you love it as a hobby? Rather than an AD every single time... it’s a shame! she seems v different compared to when she was at law school and actually grateful for the platform she has

 

[skratcha]

in her latest video, the way she’s dressed is almost a parody of herself, trying to fit into a stereotype millennial unwashed hippie who (not so secretly) works for The Man but thinks they’re so woke that it doesn’t make them a massive hypocrite

Play-jay-raised. HOW EVE, HOW.

At best I’d assume she was a 1st year law student from watching this video if I didn’t know better. Just stop. Please.

 

[Lola123]

She posted about flexible working spaces? Surely you’d go to your office as it was free?

 

[bublifuk]

I like Eve and I respect her personal experience, but I always get the vibe from her that she thinks she's more special than anybody else lol. Idk if she means to come across as so self-absorbed, but going through phases, changing up your style and discovering who you are is completely normal for someone her age. We've also all lived through the pandemic and multiple lockdowns, idk why she feels the need to explain that to her audience?

Wish she would start vlogging again, because her sit-down videos are not as deep and enlightening as she may think. This was 11 minutes and 46 seconds of blabbering, just to justify the skillshare ad. And still no word of what happened to MCC!!!!

 

[YellowLadybird]

What A levels did she get?

She got A* A B which in my book is pretty good?

 

[DimpleFace]

I’m guessing she wont be staying at her current role long term and she wants to establish herself as a tech girl but I’m finding it so tiresome how her #brand is becoming being a tech girl as if she’s a software engineer or sth. she works in document automation for the same law firm and she’s not the one coding the software lol ….

I really doubt she’ll be about to revive her YouTube channel in the way she wants too. Her whole channel was solely based on being a law student and then a corporate lawyer. I’m not sure the same interest is there for contract automation.

 

[peach1234]

I miss her casual vlogs, it was like a friend chatting to you. Now it feels like the videos only serve to bolster her ego - it’s like a smug (but also insecure) teacher talking to you.

Also, I wish she would address non-trending subjects, I think they would be more interesting and unique. Low views are still worthy if they are consistent. Lucy Moon doesn’t pull the same kind of views as she did years ago but she still gains regular views every week and her brand is really consistent.

 

[gossip_guy]

Yeah, hasn't that literally been the stereotype for women in corporate jobs for years (and years and years) ?

Just saw she has posted a new video, anyone want to sacrifice themselves and watch it and report back here if it actually brought anything of value please? After having suffered through her last one for about two minutes actually cannot bring myself to even click on this one...as am still feeling a bit uncomfortable about the last one...I suppose at least the new video relates to the kind of law she actually studied and worked with.

I watched most of it. She should just retire from YouTube already. It's much less tasteless than the other one purely because it's such a stupid case surrounding the petty fight between two famous-for-no-reason "celebrities" and nobody died this time. But it's just more of Eve's tired, talentless, cash-grab bullshit.

Almost the entire video has on-screen ads for Fiver, along with a tonne of intrusive, incredibly cheap and amateurish animations. If this is the best Eve could find on Fiver, it doesn't exactly sell the platform well.

Eve spends the whole video obnoxiously flapping her hands around a lot while not saying anything new, anything of merit and just recycles content from other sources. All for a video about a fluff story that's old news.

She's somehow left it too late to talk about the case when it was trending and relevant, but didn't wait a few weeks until the verdict was announced to discuss the complete story. It's so sloppily constructed.

I don't really know what the point in any of what she's doing now is. She's paying other people to do all her work for her, so you would expect some new measure of quality or substance, but the end result is still so wafer-thin, lazy and half-assed. She also doesn't bring anything to the table at all. She offers no legal perspective beyond that which anyone who'd looked up the Wikipedia entry for 'defamation' could also provide. In fact, she seems to be Googling this shit in real time while filming and reading scripted information put together by her paid researcher for the most basic shit. Her input is basically: "Here's a recap of the case as found via Google. Who knows what will happen with the verdict, but it'll be interesting to see. Follow me on social media."

It's kind of easy to see why she pivoted away from wanting to practice law so quickly - she's trying real hard to be cool, charming and charismatic and coming across as pretentious, smarmy and condescending, but also can't seem to retain even basic legal information even though her entire studytube career was build around pushing toxic productivity and rote memorisation. If these videos are indicative of her courtroom prowess, research skills and on-the-spot thinking, then she must've been one shitty lawyer.

She also spends a substantial chunk of the video talking to the camera in this pose for some reason. It looks so fucking awkward.

Is this another of her bizarre "business meeting" things? "I only give speeches when sitting on a desk in Converse. But when I'm on my practicing-the-law game, you know I'm changing things up by leaning across the desk to get all up in the judge and jury's grills. They won't know if you're awkwardly trying to seduce them or getting all confrontational and trying to psych them out, but either way, it will increase your chance of winning a case by 36%, 23% of the time!"

You could read the Wikipedia page on the case in 5 minutes and get more information than this 22 minute extended ad.

I would disagree on pronouns too, as someone with a chinese name (English people normally can't tell if it's male or female) who looks pretty masculine it sorts out any embarrassment if I state she/her from the get-go. I can also see it makes it easier for those who are trans if cis people state their pronouns as well so they don't stand out doing it.

 

[3calico3]

Eve just likes the label of tech as she thinks she’s the only one with the capability to change anything as someone who identities as queer and she thinks she can “disrupt” what they do, she’s sorely mistaken

For someone who's said in a previous video that she doesn't like labels... she sure gives herself a lot of labels. #womenintech #queer #stateschooleducated #changingtheworld
