@emm can you still see the first Kylie Flavell thread? Also here are a few more points other tattlers made regarding Kylie's behaviour:
- presenting a consistently false and Disneyfied view of Italy especially under Covid
- encouraging unhealthy parasocial relationships with her followers by suggesting they give her gifts and write to her personally leading to potentially dangerous obsessions and disappointments when she doesn’t/can’t live up to what she has promised.
- aggressive/bullying response to any commentators that question her or her vlogs
- deleting any comments that don’t glorify how wonderful she is in every aspect or that suggest different ideas to hers or that point out issues with her videos
- creating a fake “cult” following that is only filled with an entirely one-sided sycophantic or fawning commentariat
- Claiming having little or no money so begging her Patreons to keep paying, meanwhile she is living a luxurious life that most Italians couldn’t dream of right now
I've had a lot to catch up on even being out of the tattler loop for a few days! I thought @Jerry's summation was really good too:
'I’m wondering about myself and why it is that The Kylie Show irritates and entertains me so much !
Here it is; She’s the worst kind of hypocrite, berating those who don’t make the effort to learn about the culture, while she misrepresents the same culture she purports to love and exploits the fantasies and ignorance of those who don’t know enough to realize she is lying.
She seems to be a narcissist, changing her colours to suit for the purpose of exploitation, whether it be for donations, patrons, gifts, rents, whatever. It’s all about her, never about anyone else.
She carries with her the worst of millennial culture of grievance, entitlement, poor me ism, privilege, while pleading poverty, playing up the child into adulthood, acting like it doesn’t matter.
She does injustice to the struggles of real Italians and lovers of this country, like me, who see and live the difficulties and absurdities every day, but still persist with the possibilities of being here.
She creates this lie without regard to the consequences for those who might follow her advice, whether arriving in this country thinking you have to speak perfect Italian to order a coffee, that Italians are a polite people in the english sense, taking on a restaurant/event space during lockdown and shutdown, sitting out in the sun for dinner during a scorching summer.
For anyone who knows and loves Italy and juxtaposes her self serving fantasies with their own both difficult and hard won joyous experiences, it is an insult.
The entertainment is from watching someone make a fool of themselves while they think they are making a fool of you.
Thank goodness for this forum to find other like minded individuals and for the opportunity to express this and to share. "
I follow another influencer who was in a vaguely similar situation (i.e. he had a normal job, she was full time youtube) and they broke up, having been engaged, in lockdown and it is so obvious looking back how increasingly annoyed he was being on camera and was no doubt a huge issue in the breakup (not saying I think they will ever breakup, with the whole religious aspect I assume neither of them would)
), and it's hard to get published in real life. But I don't want this to develop into a rant!
But somehow I think you have writing (and being published) as the best part of your future!
