What a lady! Can i marry her? But wait...does he mean "wouldn't say that for many influencers"? And what does he mean by point taken? Is he admitting that he is a money grabbing See you next Tuesday?Came here to say thisBut also these
Noooo FOD always turns into philosopher FOD when he gets really desperate - there isn't a hint of authenticity about it its just an amalgamation of other instagram posts reguigitated into one vomit inducing caption.Oh I disagree his last post is actually quite nice...i really feel like we have a more thoughtful, existential FOD. You can tell he put so much authenticity and care into writing it. Like he really wants a more meaningful world for tomorrow. He even wrote it without making any grammatical mistakes. (Ok scrap that). But it really doesn't sound like he copied and pasted it from someone far more humble and intelligent than himself...
No worries!!!! I was afraid my sarcasm would be missed and then got worried I'd be accused of being Clammie!Noooo FOD always turns into philosopher FOD when he gets really desperate - there isn't a hint of authenticity about it its just an amalgamation of other instagram posts reguigitated into one vomit inducing caption.
Its like a constant loop with him.... Amazing/hapless Dad of twins FOD to Hilarious, zany nuts lad FOD to Twat philosopher standing wistfully on the beach FOD aaaaaaand repeat.
EDIT: I just re-read your post and finally realised you're definitely being sarcastic
What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?Hahaha I’m not surprised, I think he’s said a few things that suggest he really, really likes himself - not that I blame him tbh he’s clearly made a killing from being DG!
Gaffney is another Paul Hollywood, always has a harem of beautiful early 20s girlfriends. Grim, don’t know how either of them manage it?
Yep! Precisely! No one is leaving school and applying to Instagram for an influencership? Imagine going down the job centre, pits are closed so here you are hun flat tummy teas for you xHis reply to that amazing comment about how for lots of influencers it’s their only source of income. I mean, sure. Except! Most ~influencers HAD employment and once the world of #gifted #spon paid enough they left. I can start listing influencers who did just that, easily, if you’d like FOD? So let’s not run off with some ‘oh poor influencers, woe is me tale.’
"being more thoughtful about what we buy"maybe start with deleting your beggar-houseofhorror account.
I love this woman!! So going to watch this now. Not to derail but I really struggle with my husband and even his family not caring about the gender stereotypes they are continuuing to enforce on our soon to be born son. Do we talk about this stuff on the new forum, I didn’t want to then detail the new soap thread with my rant about feminism4 stone newt man. Haha!!
That was me (calling his lovey dovey fans thickos and cray crays)
Because actually the amount of women who follow him who really seem to find him SO funny, SO endearing, SO on the button with this humour: ‘I’m crying!’ ‘you put it so well!’ ... Its really worrying - as a large amount of these women may have sons, or they may have significant men in their lives that behave in this way and it’s acceptable, and funny. And the generation of dickheads is ever pepertuating. Don’t know if anyone’s seen the vid of Jameela Jamil and her thoughts on how to educate about and protect the next generation of boys from the misinformation of gender portrayals in media, etc. - something FOD needs to watch !! (Posting link to vid in case anyone’s bored!)
He is also definitely one of those sad gits in the workplace who you would just endure out of politeness, while secretly thinking what a dicksplash he is.
To be fair, I’ll put money on some of the shit polyversities & FE colleges doing degrees in the future...bachelors of influencers. Then we will see apprenticeships in influencing.Yep! Precisely! No one is leaving school and applying to Instagram for an influencership? Imagine going down the job centre, pits are closed so here you are hun flat tummy teas for you x
He simply refuses to take accountability for their decisions, these are choices you made!! And he wasn’t hard up, they had alright jobs and minted parents so these choices were purely motivated by greed and excess! Why not speak about that? They still want that hence house of horrors account the hypocrites!
It is possible to be a big insta page and not be a cunt. We had that lovely example from that wonderful mum to be (can’t remember her name) who acknowledged the responsibility she has to her community and made clear that she won’t sell baby tat to them. You’ve got influencers who work with a handful of brands they genuinely like. The minute you make your sole income influencer content you are the brands’ bitch and have to promote any old tat for cash.
And also, disclosure is a thing... that the SODs never fucking do. The pure hypocrisy.
I took his reply as him not acknowledging that he is one of the ‘influencers’... he probably has no idea it’s aimed at him... even though it’s in response to his stories. So vapid it wouldn’t occur to him.His reply to that amazing comment about how for lots of influencers it’s their only source of income. I mean, sure. Except!

I would talk about itI love this woman!! So going to watch this now.

also, FOD’s a cunt
Yeppp! It’s like he’s so close to clocking yet still so fucking far? Yes I appreciate #ad is needed by content creators, in the same way I know why ch4 have to show me ads 4 times an hour, but I don’t expect to see shit in breach of ASA regs from either of them? And it’s an entirely different context, showing “real humans” doing XYZ is entirely different from normal brand comms?To be fair, I’ll put money on some of the shit polyversities & FE colleges doing degrees in the future...bachelors of influencers. Then we will see apprenticeships in influencing.
However you’re absolutely right, if influencing is their only income THEY made influencing their only income, but what would he know about that anyway? 2 of them with careers and 2 of them with huge Instagram platforms ripping the arse out of every conceivable advertising and gifted opportunity thrown at them. He’s not speaking from experience. And I think we’ve discussed this before, other than the rank influencers like Hinch et al, most of these people are from money. They didn’t just land that gorgeous Georgian town house in Chelsea from pushing Lush bath bombs ffs! Nobody can afford to just give up their day job (especially the late 20-40 age bracket) and just go, yep that’s me I’m an influencer without backing from either well paid partner or rich parents. It’s ludicrous and unachievable, why do people think they are relatable. it really pisses me off!
It’s interesting and not offensive, tbh I always think names face more prejudice around class/race/religion than gender, it’d be interesting to read more on it tho!I would talk about itLately, I have been thinking about the girls' names. I think they are alright but they all sound extremely feminine. There is nothing wrong with that but they are constantly talking about strong girls club and empowerment and #girlpower and in light of this I think the names they have chosen are weird. All these flower names...I think they reinforce gender stereotypes. If I ever have a daughter - or son - , I would like them to be strong so they can be whatever she wants (be it a make-up artist, a mechanic a lawyer or whatever) so I would be more conscious of the name I chose and the associations that go along with it for most people. I hope I haven't offended anyone...
So are you saying only masculine type names with no feminine connotations can be ‘strong’?I would talk about itLately, I have been thinking about the girls' names.

I was afraid someone would understand it like this and I've really been thinking how to put it and yes if I am perpetuating gender stereotypes myself. No, I don't think a Lily Rose can't be strong or that floral names can't be strong... I guess in the end it's about the person behind the name... but personally I wouldn't choose floral names for my daughters. Maybe its also cultural thing. I think its more common in anglophone countries, in Germany it's quite rare I would say.So are you saying only masculine type names with no feminine connotations can be ‘strong’?
I think you are perpetuating a gender stereotype right there!
We seem to think very similarlyYeppp! It’s like he’s so close to clocking yet still so fucking far?

There will be a second wave of fall out after all of this. The young women they’ve encouraged into debt or divided their Miele washing machine into 360 affordable monthly payments of £2.99 will be defaulting during these awful months (not their fault) and absolutely fucking their credit scores. Hope FOD sleeps well tonight after his feel good think piece tho
