Although I would be delighted (and a lot more productive at work, as I could log out of Tattle occasionally) if a number of influencers including Slymon and House of Horrors were cancelled and left the internet, I think they're shockingly resilient.

Like cockroaches in a nuclear apocalypse, they seem able to weather any storm. I think a sad fact is that, for so many of their followers, race is a non-issue. Not sure how many overlap with the Jack Monroe thread but we had murder last night after some comments which showed how behind many people still are on race etc. For those who aspire to lead bland, consumerist lives where politics and injustice barely factor, the SoDs are the pinnacle of success.

Hope that didn't come across as bleak, because I am genuinely hopeful that many people will be educated (even fucking ultimate true neutral Zoella is posting BLM resources ffs). But there will always be a hardcore apolitical fanbase for Sly and Clam.

FOD is quite rightly getting absolutely roasted in the comments on his rocket launch post, predominantly about not allowing comments on his blackout Tuesday post.

Obviously he couldn't win either way, by posting or not posting he was going to get held to account. Yet somehow, faced with those two choices, he managed to find an even WORSE option.

You love to see it.

I mean, does he think people are that stupid that they wouldn’t just go and comment on a previous post - not to mention the H of H account?! The arrogance of the pair of them just never fails to astound me...
Also the ‘we all make mistakes/we miss Clemmie’ gang have been mercifully quiet haven’t they...

What happened? I've tried to look but it moves so quickly and posts have been deleted?

I completely agree with the cockroach comment. I watched the Susie Verrill Twitter shitstorm unfold and was dumbfounded at all the ‘you’re so brave hun’ and ‘we’ve all done it hun’ (um, no we haven’t!) comments - before she switched comments off. It wasn’t brave, she posted because she was found out. She diluted the extent of her tweets - look at her thread the tweets are horrific - and then blamed where she grew up. Yet the amount of people blowing smoke up her arse was unbelievable - they completely missed the point and like you say race is clearly a non issue for a lot of them. While I think it’s right that someone takes ownership of their past actions she went about it the wrong way but doubt she’ll lose that many followers given the comments.

I more peruse the Jack Monroe thread nowadays (commented in the early days of Daily Kitchen) and was amazed at what I saw last night - people rightly being held to account for their comments. But instead of taking the comments on board and engaging (dare I say learning) just ripped into others. From what I saw - still catching up on it - those that challenged the comments went about it in a positive way with no aggression/malice and tried to engage in an adult conversation about it all. Scarily I think you’re right the SODs probably appeal for those wishing to live an apolitical bland life.

It’s not bleak at all. Even Hinch is still signposting in stories to BLM resources. The huns will still flock to the SODs, whether they ignore this or confront it - just look at the number who constantly post about missing Clemmie and white wash what she did simply as a ‘mistake’.

From what I read, my upbringing was very similar to hers, but I've never once posted racist shite

Exactly this! I found her just before I got pregnant and stupidly thought 'well she must know what she's talking about so maybe i should buy that...' she doesn't give a shit about other mums, just her own pockets.

As an aside there is not a single POC in any of his posts (excluding random people in backgrounds). Benefit of the doubt that they’re a family account and they are white people, but if he starts to spew “some of my best friends are Black” nonsense... either he’s lying or he doesn’t want to put them on his feed.

You are spot on, the calling out on the JM thread was exceptionally well intentioned and done in a completely generous and civilised manner, sadly it was not accepted that way.

The OD’s are so on another planet from anyone normal, how they are still ploughing on is unbelievable. At least they aren’t ruining another nice couple, a proper match for one another,eh?

Is Susie Verrill only famous for being Greg (I love myself so much) Rutherford’s girlfriend or does she have her own talent?

Oh LORDY, haha. A frequent contributor said "all lives matter", and said she has black cats (and later a PoC husband) so she can't be a racist (?!). And everyone gave her the benefit of the doubt and tried to kindly point out why that is absolutely not cool in a moment like this, but she doubled down and said we were all tone-policing twats, basically.

Oh wow this is pretty damning isn’t it. It's really interesting to hear from a professional's PoV so thank you for sharing.

It’s scary to think this can happen, it’s almost like the American system where big pharma wines and dines HCPs so everyone ends up addicted to opioids? You should remain wholly impartial, I actually think it needs to become part of the code of conduct tbh as this stuff effects women's wellbeing, their self esteem, their finances... It's really not on! And by sounds of the breakfast bar their literal fucking nutrition, wtf?

Has she deleted it?
Yep! This is what I bloody hate about social media!
Don’t like a comment?.....delete and block
Change your mind about a post....delete
Make racist comments a few years ago....delete as if never happened.

I did actually have a bit of respect for her yesterday in trying to own it (unlike the cockroaches) but lost all that since she’s started turning off comments and deleting posts.

PS I don’t even really know who Susie is or why she’s ‘famous’ had just looked on her posts in relation to calling out MOD.

Ah the poor SODs. They were on some sort of roll with Clembot’s new interiors account and had garnered a handsome amount of followers... but it all seems to have backfired on them. Must be exhausting to think you’re in the clear and then to have the La Redoute rug pulled out from under you like that.

Yep I had no idea who she is - but I googled her after yesterday
It all seems a little performative doesn’t it, and I imagine it’s very, very embarrassing for her. Her past racist ‘jokes’ came back to haunt her and that’s a real shame ...
