I was kind of amused to see Sofie moaning about engagement when they had been tagging brands outright asking for advent calendars only 24h beforehand. They tagged Libertys, Hotel Chocolat and a couple of others as. well I think.

So many of these Insta wankers behave like proper dickheads on the gram then have the CHEEK to cry about their lack of engagement. The lack of self awareness is astounding .

Not sure that aggressively posting response stories to anyone who deviates even 1% from total agreement is the best way to encourage your followers to engage, but maybe I don't have enough TRAUMA to understand this advanced social media strategy!

Love it for Sofie that she has the full on 16 inch macbook pro with the cute emoji keyboard too btw, those only cost, what £2.5k? Must renew the Patreon subscription!

the absolute entitlement of publicly asking brands to send them free rit that they don’t need for no reason other than ‘I want it’ whilst a portion of their followers are likely affected by the current Universal Credit uplift ending and fuel prices are rising in time for winter

yeah they don’t have to address these issues and are allowed to want stuff (there’s plenty of stuff I want and don’t need), but is it any wonder people don’t engage when they position themselves (and make money) as some kind of superior intersectional activist and then constantly fails to read the room??? Their activism only serves them and it’s painfully obvious

wasn’t she going on about how she got thousands and thousands of survey responses a few weeks back? Now it’s 2k views max…?

She’d be better off pushing a mailing list than her Patreon if she’s worried about the commercial impact of being at the mercy of Insta’s #algos.

I think a lot of her followers may like the ‘you aren’t defined by your body and you can be happy in your own skin’ type stuff she’s said but are probably turned off by the more extreme rhetoric such as exercise is pointless and a slippery slope to self hatred etc. I imagine there are plus size followers who might actually like exercise and don’t want to be shamed for that or told they’re ableist.

She also has a post where she outright says she doesn’t care about the environment and nature is boring (what?? Literally all nature??). I can see why a lot of people would be drifting from her.

I agree, I imagine a lot of the of plus size people in her demographic would actually exercise. Her constant negativtity is pretty draining tbh and not at all (imo) what the plus size movement seems to stand for

I saw that Bethany Rutter liked one of her posts about this, even though she's always posting about c25k and how much she gets out of it & the progress she's made

Bethany shares Sofie’s bitterness towards anyone who loses weight. I’m pretty sure Bethany has fallen out with quite a few of her friends who lost weight over the years.

I noticed bodiposipanda commented something pretty balanced on there, but sofie also is ‘friends’ with jessamyn Stanley who is bleeping ace at yoga, and she is a large person. She’s perpetuating the concept large people can’t/don’t excercise and it’s just something for thin people. I feel like she could do with going for a nice walk and blowing the cobwebs away, take the dog out, come home and feel the benefit of the warm house and comfy chair. And then tell us excercise isn’t healthy.

exactly, I was not aware of Jessamyn but sofie should be promoting people like her surely, there is so much discrimination about overweight people in exercise classes etc, especially things like yoga. This would be a much better use of Sofie's platform rather than just negativity. None of it really makes any sense, saying being overweright isn;t unhealthy but then just shunning any exercise is ridiculous imo

I used to have a mutual friend with Bethany and she falls out with people all the time - has a real mean girl vibe about her.

Bethany has so many ex BFFs of the moment. Remember when she hung out with Ruby Tandoh?

 

[Greenlentils]

Bethany is too busy building her polymer clay earring empire, being a general girlboss and bankrolling her lickle tiny tiktok famous husband, my good dudes.

Your old pal Bert has got her own thread here:

Bethany Rutter

There has been some discussion about Bethany Rutter on other plus size influencers' threads, so I thought it was time for a thread of her own. Currently Bethany has been talking about a shop called Tort that resell Ali Express hair accessories for crazy prices. My guess is that this is either...

The deodorant shilling bugs me for some reason....Sorry Sofie but we know you don't care whether things are vegan or natural... And even after that big capitalism rant you obviously don't care much about consumerism and queerwashing either!

 

[becky's artex ceiling]

I’m cackling at the latest reel, but not in the way I’m intended to Why is Sofie upset that influenzas need to PUT SOME EFFORT into editing videos for the gram?

Was Sofie just thinking that brands would send her free stuff if she ASKED? Because TRAUMA? How DARE they not let her take take take?

This isn’t Patreon, dummy! Get your premiere pro out and start grafting for your gritting

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

Can 'start grafting for your grifting' just be the title of every thread ever?

Also, influencers in the wild is pretty harmless. That man crawling down the beach? Come on now.

Black cab to the shops...

 

[becky's artex ceiling]

Nice caption for a cookalong… where you can’t see what’s being cooked. Why not just write ‘I can’t be arsed, pay me’ next time

Is it me or is this hun really upping their game with the car crash content recently?

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

Oh my god. Back to the fish.
