Sofie Hagen

[Greenlentils]

she was quite funny on the guilty feminist I thought, but I find her content from later just very repetitive. Her whole identity seems to be just focused on being fat, it is really not that interesting

I started listening to The Guilty Feminist without realising Sofie was on it and was really disappointed to find that she was. I was pleased they weren't on for long. I find their humour really dull and kinda contradictory to what you'd expect of Sofie's fat politics. Whenever I've seen or heard any of Sofie's performances I cringe because I feel it is playing into this idea what fat people should be miserable, depressed, lazy, boring people. Maybe I haven't heard enough of their stuff but that is how it made me feel, even though I know they probably disagree with those stereotypes.

1. What's so amazing about these?
2. Nice tucked away affiliate declaration

Pretty sure they can pursue you for more if you’ve caused damage, I know someone who ran a property doooowwwnn to the point their £1.5k deposit didn’t cover all the damage they caused and their LL did.

I hate landlords but am aghast someone would assume painting tiles is okay, it’s not reversible like painting walls! It looks so cheap and shit, and doesn’t clean properly. To retile sill be a couple of grand

yeah also it’s quite a drastic difference? Like it’s one thing to give your walls a lick of paint if it’s only a few shades away from the original, but this is a DARK green in both her bathroom and bedroom. Completely changes the light, makes rooms like smaller in some cases etc. I can’t imagine many landlords would be happy with that.

He’ll be gone by this time next year

I think it is a lot more than £30 a day really if you include delivery fee etc

Oh yeah. I was being generous

Sort of gonna call myself out for saying she here, apols, but sort of not for someone who once said my 'pronouns are king' because....fuck off.

To be fair Sofie goes by she and they.

 

[miagia]

She said something about buying loads of calendars to fill the void, so either she is lying and spthis should be declared or…? I don’t get why she would be gifted one, she never shows any interest in beauty products and they need no publicity, they sell out every year

I think OP meant a friend had given it to her as a gift (not Liberty)

 

[elizzie]

I don’t agree with what he said to her but sending your followers after someone is out of order imo

I agree. She is essentially using her considerable platform to try and ruin - or at least have a really bad impact on - a person's business because they have a different opinion. He could have employees. It's a pretty crappy thing to do. I don't agree with what he wrote in the DM, but it really didn't justify this response.

I've not listened to the newest episode since she went on an extended break but I was sad to see that she's renamed the podcast to Who Hurt You. I know she has trauma, but... not everyone does? I mean, sure everyone has been hurt by someone at some time but it somehow just feels very victim-y as a title? Maybe she explains it in the intro? I confess I'd usually skip the first 10 minutes of each episode as it would be so boring and filled with her nonsense!

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

I know she has this whole thing about how nothing is 'lazy' and lazy is a capitalist construct meant to oppress us all (lol, sure, I'm sure feudal systems really supported doing fuck all) but this is lazy. Like, you're not lying on your phone scrolling because you're having a bad mental health day, you're doing it because you're lazy.

Sort of gonna call myself out for saying she here, apols, but sort of not for someone who once said my 'pronouns are king' because....fuck off.

I've squiggled as they're not a blue ticker (though their initials are CB and they've appeared on the Vonny thread )

 

[bunnyblue]

I laughed out loud at the tiles, funniest thing on her IG for a while! Tbh I think she intends and hopes that DIY projects don't go perfectly. All of this is hammed up for content and given it's her job (to be funny and to be an ~influencer~) I think she probably chalks up any losses e.g. annoyed landlord as worth it. I actually find her stories more engaging than most influencers' stories (except where she's shouting at/telling off her fans!!!).

I do like that Sofie just throws herself into this kind of stuff, I find DIY so intimidating. It makes some sense when they put it in the context of her mental health.
Just wish the telling off people on stories would stop

 

[Venuslurker]

Omg lolololol she doesn't think "lazy" exists. I love it, il have to try and use that one when I cba to do anything.

 

[Stringyone]

At the price she quoted I think she’s getting the bike + which is the more expensive version with swivel screen etc. To be fair you do get a 30 day trial so hopefully she’ll see sense and realises she needs to regularly be taking Hank out before she commits to exercising on the Peloton.
clearly it will be an expensive mistake.
I have a peloton and before I got it did classes via youtube on a normal exercise bike. Peloton is so so much better.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I was holding off commenting because I don't necessarily dislike her. I find her MoH painfully serious and earnest (I hate to say woke because I like to think of myself as a nice liberal human but...she's an extreme) but she can be quite funny.

That said OH MY FUCKING GOD, IT'S A FUCKING DOG. I started rolling my eyes at the 'I want to call him Hank but his name in his soul is Xero' point. Then the eye drops, I've had a dog with entropion, they are not going to let you put eye drops in. Get the dog in a headlock and get the drops in. They don't care. They don't understand reason, get in, get it done, get out. Now we're panicking because the dog is hot? And walking around? Christ.

I'm not a very sentimental dog owner. I love my dog but also, very aware that he's a dog, his emotions are simple and a tired dog is a happy dog. It's not that deep, they're not that deep.

Hello JM abscondee, pls go back and see the amazing DIY disasters she’s treated us to, I’m only here for the possibility of her stacking a storage bed on another to make a 3 foot high monster x

 

[smurphette]

Yeah I got the costume…but she’s still going out to parties etc with big groups. Seems weird to smugly wear a costume like that when you’re doing the same thing as everyone else and also ignoring the elephant in the room.

EXACTLY this. Knew she was elephant in the room, but still don't understand her actions. And yes, particularly when she's higher risk for severe Covid. I'm on the paranoid side - 40s, normal BMI, triple vaccinated and still can't imagine parties - but it's her thinking she's so clever and never actually taking care of herself that leaves me bemused.

 

[annabananaw10]

Is anyone shocked that they still have Hank? I thought they would’ve rehomed him by now tbh.....

 

[emm]

Oh god, maybe I've actually misunderstood the Zoom point Not sure what she meant now hahah

yeah I don't get why you would want a busy background for comedy imo. I get people wanting books to try and appear intelligent for work calls

 

[stopthescams]

WTF! We're in lockdown! I hope that this friend is her bubble.

That’s exactly what I thought!!

 

[Lurkeryaar]

I haven't been on Instagram the while week but has Sofie acknowledged the situation in Ukraine at all? All I've seen is her talking about her trip and trying to flog cheap tat through affiliate links. Given how vociferous she's been about politics in the past I'm really surprised she's not mentioned it.

And as if by magic, the links appear...

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I'd laugh if Donald Stanley gifted her something given last time they did she forgot to publicly thank them for ages.

They’re close to closing down aren’t they? I’d hope they wouldn’t be silly enough to gift her anything rn
