The word bully is thrown around too easily all the time.
Bullying is a very serious, vile, thing to do to someone.
Having an opinion that an influencer is misleading followers, pushing sales, not being transparent, being sneaky, telling fibs, taking advantage of people, demonstrating unsafe practices with chemicals, encouraging sales of items that are very dangerous for babies, is not bullying.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the Oxford dictionary’s definition of “bully”.
It does not include showing concerns for any of the above, complaining about practices or companies or calling people out for being dishonest.
