I've been out of here for a while, the situation is really messy here covid wise, but wow this looks shady. It just makes me think of back in like, idk, 2012-13 ? I used to love Smosh, and the videos where they would open letters from fans (they would do one every week) were my favourites. Lots of youtubers did that back then ! Maybe they still do, I don't really watch Youtube anymore. But even big celebrities take time to answer fan mail. I can remember at least two wholesome stories about Taylor Swift, Harry Style or Robin Williams corresponding with fans just from the top of my head. And these guys have millions of followers.Scrolling the the comments of Robot's latest video, someone asked how she chose the follower to send a gift to:View attachment 979119

The warning should not just be to 12 year olds. There are a lot of vulnerable young people who need to be warned that who they think they are speaking to on the internet may not be who they are actually speaking to. Added to which, after the whole Ghislaine Maxwell business, young girls and women should be on their guard against the 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. (no reference at all meant to Rooby's liking for Merino wool)I am seriously getting the urge to go onto her comment section and give a PSA to all her 12 year old fans, warning them against filling out shady forms with their personal information in the hopes of finding an influencer penpal.
What Ruby is doing with that form is absolutely inappropriate. True, she may not have bad intentions, just like creepy old guys hanging around playgrounds and schools might not have bad intentions, but it's still overstepping the boundaries. Youtube is bad enough for parasocial relationships without any help from Ruby Granger.
This is the equivalent of saying: "Matron! She's out of her bed again!"She’s been reading again
Lavinia's Emily's sister.She’s been reading again

1) who tf is Lavinia
2) what tf is that quote
3) if the letters HAD been sent, we would still have the manuscripts to put in the book alongside the transcriptions, you absolute moron.
I genuinely can't tell if she is quoting three different things or if this is a complete sentence.She’s been reading again

Oh good, other people can see it too. I thought it was the morphine...that quote made me question if i’m drunk. i don’t even drink.
I’v always wondered why Ruby doesn’t seem to have read Brideshead Revisited. I would have thought she’d be all over that like catnip, given how much of it is about Oxford and posh people (not criticising, I’ve read it and enjoyed it but it is full of plover’s eggs and teddy bears with ridiculous names and is full of the kind of things that the modern-day university tries to distance itself from). I’d also love it if she read something like Jill by Philip Larkin, just to see how badly she misses the point …I'd love to see what shambles she has submitted as an application to a Master's programme. Although, my instinct is that she will have dragged Blakeney into her madness and made a 'pact' that they work on their applications together, with some twisted notion that she can frolic around Oggsford playing Sebastian Flyte to Blakeney's Charles Ryder. Not that she will have read "Brideshead revisited". It's far too long, and includes unsuitable, drunken scenes, even if it is about a lot of toffs.
Is it unusually cruel of me to hope that Blakeney gets a first and goes to Oggsford, and Rooby-do does not? I think she'd implode if that happened.
I don’t think Ruby wants to work with the type of kids who are generally on the receiving end of volunteer projects like that. She doesn’t want tutor an underprivileged kid who’s fallen behind in math, she wants to live vicariously through a middle to upper class tween girl who likes all the same things Ruby does.The thing is, if Ruby wants to support young people and take on some kind of mentorship role, I’m pretty sure there are all kinds of legitimate avenues to do that, not least those that she could get involved in through her university. There are all kinds of volunteering opportunities out there where Ruby could work with young people in a safe and professionally managed way (assuming that she actually does want to work with young people and this isn’t another of her ways of continuing to be a child …) However, once again Ruby goes off half-cocked, displaying her naïveté for all the world to see.
