Her weird aggression towards the issue of the environment is so odd, is it cos it's the one area she can't feel holier than thou about? So she gets all defensive instead.

her views about about exercise are batshit, your feelings about exercise don't trump other people's right to feel proud about their physical achievements. It shows what a dangerous echo chamber Instagram is..if you spouted those views in normal life everyone would challenge you but on insta all her sycophantic followers just say how wise she is.

I am really intrigued how much she paid for this dog, dogs like this are expensive anyway, but since lockdown everyone seems to want pets and prices have risen insanely (ouble/triple in some cases) . How she could have bought something like this and then be begging for money on patreon makes me quite angry
If your income is that precarious that you're begging on Patreon then you probably shouldn't even adopt a pet for free, pet food is expensive and insurance and vet bills even more so!

Such lies! No way was she getting 60k views, ever! Maybe people don’t watch the videos because she’s so intolerant? And I can’t believe sofie doesn’t see the arrogance of ‘see someone else waded out to collect the scales from the river’. Sheesh she/they’re/he’s becoming insufferable! Unfollowed
I thought this! I unfollowed and don’t watch their content anymore (and just check in on this thread) because I either get upset or frustrated. I’m sure other people have felt similar, but it must be Insta’s fault? I’ve had a long break from ‘activist Instagram’ because I’d got myself into such a negative rut with the accounts I followed when I last posted on here - nothing good seemed to be happening and there was absolutely no joy on my feed. I thought it was important that I was aware but when it was the only content I was consuming, all it did was make me furious and I wanted to scream - how is that helpful to anyone? And I feel so much better and positive for having that break!

I just looked at Sofie’s Insta and I just feel a little sad tbh - surely it must be exhausting to hang onto things like this and keep going over them? Like, it’s okay to just exist and not be trying to constantly ‘win’ or have the last word on whatever argument they’re choosing to have!

Potentially unpopular opinion here but I am straight sized (if that’s the still the right word?) and whilst I respect their history absolutely hate those chairs and wish they’d get rid, they’re bum numbing and sometimes they’re at such a downwards sloping angle you think… surely after however many years I’m not gonna be the one to take this chair down?

It’s like a lot of what she has to say is so close to being a fair point re: accessibility but she takes it to the nth degree and alienates people that would otherwise engage with these convos.

This actually really surprises me from Sofie. I used to listen to the Guilty Feminist religiously in its early years (its a bit too preachy lately but I still dip in occasionally).

I liked how they challenged the perceptions of beauty and make up and I remember they did an episode very early on about sustainable and ethical clothing. It really made me think about the way I shop and choose clothes. Influencers throwing mass made tat at us and telling us what we need while they profit from it has never sat right with me and its partly why I refuse to ever buy from an affiliate link or a company that uses these influencers (and I also couldn't stomach an influencer making money from me!).

So to see Sofie pairing with a company like ASOS and encouraging the swipe up for people to buy clothing that they probably don't need just feels like she's been completely hypocritical and disingenuous about the whole thing. Yes they're plus sized dungarees but that's not the point, it feels like she's part of a system that she rallied against and encouraged us to rally against too. Really disappointing!
I'm quite surprised to hear this as I've seen her being rude to people who replied to her story posts with questions about plastic waste, and on one of the Bad People podcasts she mithers on for ages about how she finds environment talk boring. (That's OK then, if it bores you, special Sofie, you are absolved of all responsibility to make ethical decisions. Better that the planet is destroyed than you spend one moment being bored 🙄)

Maybe now she is more established she doesn't think she needs to pretend to care.

Ugh she seems quite enraged all the time. I've really gone off her. No more podcasts by Sophie for me!
Followed her for years, but unfollowed today. She just seems to have completely lost the plot. She keeps on asking for engagement. If anyone messages her anything that's slightly critical, she shares their message and tells them to fuck off. If anyone messages her anything sympathetic, she shares their message and tells them not to patronise her.

It feels like they are forever collecting more things to paint themselves as abused minority with so they have a trump card for every situation. I have met people like Sofie and if they do have any friends they are generally being bullied and browbeaten in subtle and not so subtle ways until they either crack and tell their former 'friend' exactly what they think, or just become more and more subservient.

I used to really admire Sofie, not least for getting their body out on instagram in what (seem to be) unfiltered shots. But very quickly their real coldness and spite became apparent.

I've never heard of a dog who doesn't like walks before, unless said dog is ill.

Maybe I'm being thick but I don't see the difference between the message she likes and the one she doesn't? They're both warning her. Is it just that the first is too short for Her Royal Specialness?

Jock, she's an over-thinker, for sure. I don't know if it's years of therapy that's made her like that? You get the impression that everything is psychoanalysed to the nth degree. It must be fucking exhausting living in her head, constantly trying to understand your behaviours and make excuses for them. She needs to start owing her shit. We would all like her a bit better if she just said "You know what, i was a dick. I am wrong and you are all right." And she needs to drop all this woke nonsense. She's trying to be a perfect person when, in fact, she's a mess.

So no one is allowed to suggest Sophie is upset but it’s ok for her to say that everyone else is 🤔

Wow. They’re still going on this. “I have so much trauma”? Me too, lots of people do in fact. Nothing about this level of investigation in to one comment, which was so mild when compared to the really abusive stuff I’m sure is sent their way on a daily basis, is healthy. I also see nothing that relates to their weight. I’m sure a lot of the messages they’re receiving are trying to say that really gently and kindly but Sophie seems to have blown this up into something so huge no one else gets to have any opinion.

Even if I was on their side, how would I express my support? “Yay go you for checking into every part of a persons social media presence, making decisions from that about their life, dreams and whether they’re succeeding, tearing them down, making sure we could do the same and then posting on and on about this to prove how much you don’t care. Yay....”

If you have bad anxiety and know you often have periods where you can't get out of bed for days then whyyy would you get a massive dog that clearly needs epic walks every day. Ugh it's so annoying.
yes and he seems to cause her even more anxiety - she’s posted stories where she’s annoyed at him for snoring, or waking her up, or having an accident on the floor. He’s a dog, it’s not his fault.

So glad i found this thread, i was beginning to think it was just me..
I used to really like her but shes so aggressive towards people, everything seems like a massive drama and she hyper explains everything , it does my head in.
The poor dog, dont even get me started, all this ' he is scared, anxious, doesn't like toys, doesn't like etc etc etc, wtf. You are the owner, sort it the fuck out. Its you!
Ive had dogs for 20 years.

I dont know why I still followed but had to unfollow after their stories. Not even remotely funny and so defensive. Absolute arsehole.

I think a big problem is that her diet also probably negatively impacts her mental health tbh, all that junk food cannot make her feel good, mentally or physically
This is probably the case, for me I often get stuck in a vicious cycle of poor mental health leading to poor eating which leads to worse mental health! I don't care what other people eat, but I can't imagine feeling great after eating all of those chocolate mousses for breakfast...

Is Sofie doing this to drum up a bit of engagement so her stats look better for potential #ad relationships or something? As loads of you have said, they seem to deliberately pull this clip out every now and then and it always gets a reaction....
