influencers have managed successfully to conflate discussion and critique to bullying and trolling. Like Lydia millen this week, had a message asking why she hadn’t been to see her nan and that’s bullying apparently??
Im sick of being told I have to support these influencers because they are women. No. I don’t have to like anyone because we both happen to be women. You don’t get a free pass for non compliance with advertising regs and
crappy and devious behaviour and expect support from other women. It doesn’t work like that.
no one has a right to be liked. if you are sharing your life online you should expect some critique and if you get big enough some people are going to dislike you, and be open about it. If you cant handle that it’s the wrong job. Influencers want some sanitised world where they can block anyone and filter their comments, it’s no wonder they can’t handle the reality that there are tonnes of people out there not falling for their
tit.
I am sick of hearing that influencers want social media companies to make people hand over their passport and address details to use social media. Why should I be penalised when I haven’t done anything wrong?. I’m not trusting Instagram or any US based company with those details. I would just come off insta like millions of other people and suddenly influencers would be moaning about losing all followers and likes
personally I have nothing to hide. I have never DMd or contacted an influencer with anything negative, i simply come to tattle. I have never said anything which I consider hateful or bullying and I would stand by my opinions to their face.
they tell themselves we are horrible ugly stupid unsuccessful people because they cannot handle the truth that we are the audience they lost and that our opinions are real and valid from actual people with jobs, lives and families who are just sick of the bullshit.
we should all be very wary of the censorship these influencers are trying to push.
