I mean,,,,there is good reason to doubt her genuine interest in pretty much anything. The latest example for me is her Latin-phase. Ruby has shown herself studying Latin for quiet some time now, right? She studied it for a while during the summer, at least several weeks if not months. At some point, she was using The Hobbit or one of the HP books to translate from Latin to English. (I don't know about the specifics, can't be bothered to check either) She gave up after a while and that's ok, I myself "began" studying Greek thrice lol. Then the classes at Oxford starts and she is back to Latin, pretty much beginning each day with some Latin exercise. And then you see the latest video shes uploaded and it's a joke! It's not just that she makes mistakes--that's ok, you do those at pretty much any stage of language learning--it's that the Latin you see on the screen is pretty much chapter 3 of LAT 101 or sth and she already says she feels lost. Like, what was she doing during the summer? What, literally WHAT, did she write on those MANY pages of her Latin notebook that she showed us plenty of times? How was she translating*** anything from any book?
And it's always like this with her. She makes herself look like she is very into sth and passionate about sth and then it's revealed that she's been polishing her level of engagement to such degrees that you cannot help but call it faking. And @gossip_guy being one of the world's leading Ruby-Studies scholars has seen enough of her bullshit, I think.
***Unless you are a very young learner, you start translation exercises from Latin immediately. The problem is not that she can't translate as a beginner learner, it is that she made it look like she was making really good progress with Latin whilst, apparently, she did not even learn her first and second declension nouns and adjectives -. :/
