Wouldn't be surprised if she leaves it there because it'll get her more followersI have noticed her IG bio could do with a location update.

(and the whole thing is eye-roll worthy really)
I can almost see her saying this exact thing with that weird uncomfortable grin on her face, giggling about problematic elements for some reason.Talking about Call Me By Your Name in her insta "I've heard the book also has some problematic elements (like um... paedophilia) but I'm enjoying it so far."
Wow Jade, you really can express your toughts like no one else!
Nothing against enjoying cmbyn, I kind of liked the movie, and kudos to her for addressing the ploblematic elements, but she expressed it in a way that I find really stupid. In my opinion that's not the way to address serious topics... Expecially considering her self proclaimed role of woke queen and amazing writer and all.
Not sure how she does it but she's the most un-charming human ever. Like everything about her just puts me off.Anybody need a new profile picture? View attachment 647066
I'm pretty sure she's only mentioning the problematic elements because of tattle. I said it before but there's a lot of times where we talk about stuff and she almost seems to reply to it or take the action - tagging one of her stories as a very clear AD recently comes to mind (which btw, good job Jade but maybe extend that to all of your videos and IG posts?)Talking about Call Me By Your Name in her insta "I've heard the book also has some problematic elements (like um... paedophilia) but I'm enjoying it so far."

I absolutely agree, I definitely think it's fine to read/consume 'problematic' books/media so long as you're able to identify the icky elements (which as much as I distrust her, I do think she's capable of) and contextualize them (someone else said something similar on the previous thread that I thought was worded really well!). Also, like I said I don't expect her to talk about it because really, she isn't an expert on any of the topics.At the end of the day, she's not a booktuber and the whole conversation seems somewhat pointless as authors can (and honestly should to some extent) write about the more problematic things within society. If it starts a conversation, great. If people simply just enjoy the book, great. If people maybe reflect on the issues privately without talking about it with others (giving Jade the benefit of doubt here but also I rarely discuss what I read/how I feel about the topics I read about) also great. Plus, I think if you're going to even try to discuss paedophilia you have to be very very sensitive and the conversation isn't going to be for everyone, so it's probably smarter for Jade to just stay away from that
@ Jade if you're reading here, can you also address the fact that MLM books like CMBYN and RWRB are the biggest recced and make a point of going out and reading some WLW books too?I'm pretty sure she's only mentioning the problematic elements because of tattle.

Anyway, I don't care much about this book stuff or the way she's talking about it. The 'um...' is clearly meant to come off as uncomfortable but given her personality it comes off as almost careless or passive aggressive (I was going to use the word bitchy instead, but I hope someone knows what I mean aha).

Yes she has. It's a much better title and I don't know why she didn't choose it to begin withIs it just me or did Jade change the title of her video on "learning German in a month"?
I bet Niklas feels secondhand embarrassment here.Yes she has. It's a much better title and I don't know why she didn't choose it to begin with
I suppose he already forgot about her existence lol. Or blocked the fact of her existence from his memory cause it was the most cringe experience in his life so far.I bet Niklas feels secondhand embarrassment here.
