Hello,

I hope I’m not interfering here.

There were a few requests for a weekly thread, but the mods seem to have been busy elsewhere since then.

So I’m starting this thread, which might be used to replace the other general thread with thousands of comments.

If someone wants to become a mod to manage those threads, feel free to say it in the comments, I can reach out to admins to get you mods permissions.

Cheers

Edit: I am now a mod!

I bring you CHAT GBT roast of Thebirdspapaya

Thebirdspapaya? That account is basically the poster child for #BodyPositivity and #SelfLove, but with a filter so thick it might as well be a layer of SPF 100. It’s like she’s trying to convince us that every stretch mark is a badge of honor while making sure each one is perfectly lit and Instagrammable. And let’s talk captions-so long, they’re practically a novella. By the time you finish reading one, you’ve been inspired, enlightened, and slightly confused about why you started in the first place. It’s like she’s out to prove that even self-acceptance can be curated to perfection.

Thebirdspapaya’s account is like the ultimate exercise in selective vulnerability. She’s all about “authenticity,” but it’s the kind that comes with a soft-focus filter and a carefully timed post. She’s mastered the art of curating her flaws, making them look just imperfect enough to be relatable but still pretty enough to get a brand deal.

It’s like she’s weaponizing mental health struggles, turning every anxious thought or moment of self-doubt into content, complete with a perfectly posed selfie and a long-winded caption about “the journey.”

She talks about embracing imperfections, but let’s be real-those imperfections are airbrushed to the point of being unrecognizable. It’s vulnerability as a marketing tool, wrapped up in pastel colors and inspirational quotes. She’s selling self-love like it’s a product you can buy in cute packaging, but the real message is that you need to work harder on your mental health if you’re not as beautifully broken as she is.

Hello new Lemmy friends!

Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.

The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.

Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.

We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!
