I didn't really have much of an issue with Molly until her Australia "travels". It may be a silly thing to nitpick but nothing bugs me more than someone going on a glorified holiday and acting as though they've spent 6 months travelling the entire world. I grew up in a small town in Southern Queensland, moving to England when I was 16, and her vlogs in all honesty made me cringe. I understand the use of guided group tours as planning can be overwhelming but to physically reach out to a company and ask for a tour for no charge purely because of your following is just straight up rude to me, especially as her engagement really is not there with her followers. To me having no laid out plans are the best plans, travelling is all about spontaneity and going out of your comfort zone, she didn't do any of that.
I hadn't travelled much of Aus when I was a kid so saved up for three years and travelled during my gap year. I spent 6 months going absolutely everywhere. She went to all of the most touristy cities in the country and then says she's travelled Aus. You wouldn't go to the 5 most touristy cities in the US and say you'd travelled the entire country. Visit the cities but also go to places like Coober Pedy where you're completely out of your comfort zone and experiencing something that not many Australians even have themselves. Don't get me started on that tattoo. Also, if you're getting bored in Singapore then you clearly haven't done your research.
Another thing with Molly is that she tends to look at situations with a complete disregard for her blatant privilege. There's nothing wrong with having it as long as you recognise it and recognise how fortunate you are. Twitter is the place she really bugs me. She has constantly liked things about I can't believe people can't drive and stuff like that. Driving lessons are expensive, owning a car is expensive. Yes, you pay for everything yourself, but that doesn't mean you can disregard the fact that a lot of people work and earn money, yet still can't afford it. You had a head start from your parents. I personally have severe ADHD. There is no disorder that interferes with driving as much as ADHD does. I failed my driving test three times before realising it was probably too dangerous for me to carry on. Would you like to me get my license and cause a road traffic incident just to comply with your narrative of ignorant and blatant privilege, Molly?
she’s not even “travelled” that much. She’s been on quite a few holidays but to me, that’s totally different.
give it a rest ffs
