This is a valid point, but (rightly or wrongly) European names are seen as more ‘neutral’, probably due to colonisation. But most African and Asian names don’t usually cross outside of their specific ethnic groups. If you met a white European girl called Adefolake, people would ask her about it. So I do think a visibly mixed child with a very Asian name like Kamiko will definitely get asked about their ethnic background.Is she though?!
Does every girl with the name Amilia/Ella/Lena have to explain to people that they are not part German?
Does every girl with the name Isabella/Sophia have to explain to people that they are not part Italian?
Does every girl with the name Leah/Emma/Chloe have to explain to people that they are not part French?
Does every girl with the name Phoebe/Iris have to explain to people that they are not part Greek?
Baby names have become so ambiguous and it is just an attempt to be unique at this stage.
I would agree with you… if she wasn’t lazy before. She made it a huge part of her personality. She also was super keen to prove to people that she was making a miraculous recovery (more miraculous than the one she made btw, not taking away from how poorly she was at all!) when we knew she was struggling. This, alongside her absolute lack of appreciation for her ‘village’, who she even claimed she didn’t have, has left a bit of a bad taste in people’s minds. Sure, she would be less mobile than before having had serious respiratory issues, but she would make out that she was doing everything for Cyrus herself when that wasn’t the case. Bad foods, sticking him in the play pen, having her mum have him for several nights a week… even if you aren’t your best that’s still not the bestIt's interesting how often Grace is referred to as lazy. When we know for sure she has mental health issues and we kind of know (but not the full extent) she has been impacted long term by Covid, being in a coma and that she has two young children. Is Grace annoying? very much so! Do I think it lacks any understanding to constantly refer to her as lazy? Yes! I can't help that feel it's made a more prominent feature of this thread because she is overweight! The fatphobia in this place is jarring!
Being depressed, living with PTSD, having a chronic illness and being honest about that is brave in many ways namely because you open your imperfect self and imperfect life up for public criticism when you probably can't handle it.
Yes, this is a critique thread so do what you will but couldn't help but throw my thoughts in the ring. Often see us holding these random influencers to ransom on being flawed, humans who fuck shit up all the time... but that's kind of all of us! It's just that we chose to do actual jobs rather than sell our souls and traumas to strangers for a Hello Fresh commission and a paid for weekend at Soho House.
