I'm not here to police people's feelings or expressions however I do stand by what I said. If you see my previous comment, I said, "who ever bullies/is cruel to someone they don't know needs help and says more about them than anything else."Bullying and being cruel is one thing -giving feedback to brands is completely different. If you define "bullying" or "cruelty" as that then that is your perspective but not what I said. Critiquing someone for their actions is one thing but being a bully or cruel to someone else is completely different IMHO but that's me.I’ve used that word about Lily and stand by my use of it. I have “an intense dislike” for Lily and feel “disgust” for her behavior. I don’t need to know her personally to form those opinions. She has made sharing her life online a marketing tool and that opened her up to critique.
The amount of money she makes is gross but the least of my concern; what is infuriating is her complete disregard about the environment and world around her. She engages in performative activism and tried to gain financially off of BLM. She takes pride in being a dolt though privately educated and privileged enough to go to university, without much struggle except internal debate on if she should/shouldn’t go. She’s also nasty to those around her and takes umbrage when her audience corrects or challenges her.
That is allll disgusting behavior and it’s just a high-level overview. I definitely disagree that contacting brands and giving feedback about their marketing tactics (ie working with her) is bullying or being cruel. I am a consumer, like it or not, and I want brands I’m interested in to work with people who hold better values, like education and environmental awareness, and treat their loved ones with respect in the public eye.
I have no problem admitting I loathe someone who behaves like that - it doesn’t mean I need therapy, it means I do not think such nonsense should go unchecked and be rewarded.
