she is very much like Jack Munroe, any (however slight) criticism is met with some kind of personal crisis that excuses everything and makes her fans feel bad. From comments on her posts I also imagine a lot of her fans are very vulnerable and probably not in the position to give away money lightly, it really is awfulNail on head. It's so manipulative. There's nothing remotely abusive in what the person said, and yet it's been implied that their words are akin to being abusive because someone who abused Sofie has used similar phrases.
I am so sorry that Sofie has experienced abuse. I've also experienced abusive family members - I truly understand how an innocuous phrase can make you cold when said in a certain tone or with a certain look. But you can't lay that on people who have done you no harm, and it's not fair to read objectively harmless words in that way and share it with your followers like that.
I wonder if what really happened was that the message made Sofie feel guilty/ashamed and rather than owning it fully they wanted to justify their lack of public gratitude and take some of the sting out of it?
It's also a way to justify their really shitty behaviour of blocking this person. A person who donated money towards hank's op in good faith and was feeling a bit put out.
Something else that's rattling me a bit is that they've not been transparent AT ALL about how much money she recieved in donations and what's happening to any surplus....

Very true, I've been lurking on Jack's threads since the THAT MAN incident and there's lots of parallels in how they treat their fans.she is very much like Jack Munroe, any (however slight) criticism is met with some kind of personal crisis that excuses everything and makes her fans feel bad.

I was blocked by Jack during the first lockdown after liking a critical post on her twitter during the first lockdown when she had that awful cooking show and i became addicted to the tattle threadVery true, I've been lurking on Jack's threads since the THAT MAN incident and there's lots of parallels in how they treat their fans.
I still follow Sofie so I can lurk, but I can't even bring myself to hate follow Jack. Thank god for the diligent receipt keeping
In all of this she never ACTUALLY SAYS thank you.Omg she’s rattled over her grifting. Tbh if you crowdfund your life you’re inviting external comment on it. Pretty low to say how a sentence is exactly how her abuser spoke to her, it’s hardly enough content to go by??
In fairness the thank you is the first story before she goes into it.In all of this she never ACTUALLY SAYS thank you.
And omg so manipulative to keep talking about herself as an abused child. You're an adult now Sofie, act like one.
So she does, I was blinded by rage reading the following storiesIn fairness the thank you is the first story before she goes into it.
It does feel a bit like she said the thank you to Segway into the rant though, so not sure how genuine it is!So she does, I was blinded by rage reading the following stories
Exactly! Sofie seems to think it excuses her from everything, whilst at the same time no-one else is allowed to step out of line ever. What about other people's trauma? Maybe it's triggering to some people to give away hard earned cash without a word of thanks?I wish she’d just say ‘look, my bad - I should’ve said thank you earlier and I can see why it riled people up. I’m sorry’ rather than ‘which trauma response is this??’ to deflect any responsibility. A lot of us carry trauma throughout out lives but it doesn’t mean you are above criticism and are never at fault
Omg and a sub tweet / caption on the main gridShe saw the title of the show and that was enough for a public flounce tbh!
I can see James Middleton posted some stories about her today, and there’s zero chance of her having the willpower to take the high road and NOT posting a 700 word response within a day or so! One foodstuff we can all agree is unhealthy is online beef… and she can’t stay away…
Love thisOmg and a sub tweet / caption on the main gridPosho vs Twitter warrior beef?? can’t wait!

Totally agree, considering her whole "thing" is being fat happy, they don't at all seem it. As most of us have said, we were all fans at one point, it makes me sad to see them like this tbh. People who are really happy don't obsessed with what others say about them on social media, especially when they have loads of people cheering them on. If you cannot cope with people criticising you just block them and move on imoJeez, she will have a field day when she finds this thread!!
I think Sophie is a bit of a lost soul (and a case study in why you shouldn't lay out your entire personality on the gram...)
Afaik Sofia uses she/they/him so anything is fine? Pls correct me if wrong as I wouldn’t be calling Sofie she otherwiseUgh, I can see I both misgendered Sofie AND spelt their name wrong, which is totally my bad and me not checking before posting. Apologies.
(Still perched for her response to James M which is surely being furiously drafted and redrafted as I type!)
