feels like Holly-bait to me lmao^ yikes, the receding hairline is showing. Does that count as ED-bait or is it not ~aesthetic~ enough?
Inception Ruby
Any idea what her parents do? Because she looks RICH.can't believe how fast these threads go lmao but 2 things I've been thinking about -
1. the 'routine' videos are so silly now she's like a parody of herself.. if I didn't know better I'd think the new afternoon one was an april fools vid with how dull it all was.. think someone mentioned it before but they're literally just vlog / day in the life videos?? like that's EXACTLY what they are and clearly the content she enjoys producing so why not just title them that?!?! I guess the 'routine' stuff is what she thinks gets the most clicks because it lets her play up the british / cottagecore / countryside / slow living / victorian nonsense cringefest that young viewers enjoy, especially those outside uk who I guess come for the whole romanticised upper class vibe judging by her comment sections
2. I know that what constitutes a fulfilling lifestyle is always gonna be subjective but can't help always thinking about how utterly BORING Ruby's life is?? Not saying you can't entertain yourself with literature / music alone but the lack of any other entertainment media in her videos is so depressing to me lmao maybe I'm biased as someone on a film degree but she comes off to me as such a film/tv snob, the part in one of her recent vids where she mentioned she's just started watching tv with parents in the evening and they watched some simpsons or something was so odd to me like? I get that some people don't even enjoy movies or tv but the way all her vids are hours and hours and hours of studying interspersed with reading and maybe 15 minutes of watching youtube looks so painfully boring to me lmao I wonder if she considers anything outside of the 'high arts' of any actual worth, for someone obsessed with kids books you'd hope she could give literally any other challenging media a go lol I always wonder if she's secretly watching tv or movies when the camera's off but doesn't bother to document it because it's below her 'aesthetic'
GOD SORRY THAT WAS SO LONGGGG
i know that nobody's really going to read this, but i feel better now i've said it and i feel like it's an important thing to point out. i'm very emotional right now because this brought up some memories and i feel so sorry for ruby. thus what i wrote probably doesn't make any sense at all, but please consider carefully what you criticise people for and what they can actually do about it.

Sure, absolutely. Honestly she is a grown adult, she has a support network with her family and she has the resources to seek help. I'm sure her parents see what she does and understand that she has issues. The thing is they seem to indulge her a lot instead of putting their foot down and dealing with her nonsense.I tried but I can't feel bad for her. Ruby has to have at least some knowledge on EDs given the amount of books she read about it. Also, as someone mentioned before, she doesn't look that thin, not as thin as she would if she was eating the portions she shows in her videos. She even said it herself recently she doesn't show everything she eats. I don't see how she looks "sick" either - she's always been small and as a pale person myself I take offence at people who think I'm sick just because at that particular day I look pale.
I guess I just don't care about her too much. I'm more worried about her viewers. She doesn't do any disclaimers before she shows these small portions and she should be aware that it can be very triggering. Her viewers are mostly kids, she knows she influences them a lot - just look at the comment section. She should really be more responsible about it. Out of the blue she changed her Hermione/studying content into a weird cottagecore / wanna be Victorian play along and I suppose many of her viewers didn't even pick up on that and have any understanding she might be just "acting" it. It pisses me off cause she's in her 20s and her viewers are actual kids. Not to mention how fucked up it is she's trying to portray herself as a kid too. Again, if she was a male, she would experience a crazy backlash and be called a perv.
Now, if you feel worried about her - message her, comment, whatever. I just think she has tons of money, friends, family, access to tons of resources and us saying that we're "worried" means shit cause she can easily get help but first she has to admit she's in the wrong and we can suppose it won't happen with Ruby. I just mean it's not our responsibility, more like it's more important to spread awareness that it's not okay to present it that way to impressionable kids who watch her and follow her as an example of perfection. At the same time, despite of what and whom she portrays, she's sneaky (yes, the holocaust memorial, the 10k laptop, among others) and there's much more to that than she's showing us. So I guess instead of pitying her I'd rather see her get her shit together and take responsibility for her behaviour as a semi public person who earns tons of money from influencing kids after all.
