The Birds Papaya is getting her hair done today and then, that’s it, nothing else is happening. At all. I love this for her and hope it continues. She’s so incredibly vapid and the vocal fry is off the charts. She’s choosing to lean in hard on the skinny editing this week and then tosses in a cellulite pic just to ‘keep it real’. The damage she’s doing to women is incredible. This woman’s entire life is shopping, body-checking, getting her hair done and scrolling her phone. That’s it.

Confused why a collab with a straight mother of 4 who does absolutely zero advocacy work would be “PERFECT for the girls/gays/theys” 🙃

What absolute trash she is, using the LGBTQIA community to sell products. She does NOTHING for that community, doesn’t even comment on the MULTITUDE of issues that community faces as a whole. This is a new low. She thinks she’s a hero to “the gays” as she puts it because she puts on her best Rupaul voice to titter with what’s their name on their podcast (their name genuinely escapes me right now, but they pretend to be best friends once or twice a year). She’s a heinous wretch.

Only people in the LGBTQIA2S community get to say if someone is an ally, “mother” , icon, etc. You cannot self-appoint yourself. And other white cisgender women don’t get to nominate people for this role either.

Exactly. Thank you!! She’s not an icon or an ally. She has done nothing for the community. I’m not sure if June is pride month in Canada but she loves pretending she’s from the US and not one mention of it. Allyship is all about using your privilege and platform to uplit and advocate. She says it’s because she doesn’t want to alienate or whatever bullshit but honestly I don’t see too many people getting upset about LGBTQIA2S like in the past. It’s not as polarizing as Gaza (Not that a genocide should be polarizing but I digress) so she really doesn’t give an Eff. Why should she? It doesn’t affect her. She just profits off it and uses the culture and the lexicon for herself. I would hate to think about how she would react if she had a queer child. She’s obviously not a safe space, nor does she expose them. We made a very conscious effort to stay in a big city near the neighborhood my husband and i grew up in. We avoided suburban flight because it’s so important to us they live urban and exposed.

I took my daughter to her first pride parade this year. She’s 14 and it can be pretty crazy down here (over 1 million attendees yearly) so I held off but she has been around queer people all her life and have always discussed allyship and what it means. My daughter came out as Bi at 10 and my friend bought her a bi flag for her room. We discuss Palestine and politics freely in our home. We are vocal and proud of our beliefs. She can keep her money and followers, I’ll keep my convictions and education. Tldr: she sucks.

Are you thinking Myles Sexton? She put on quite the performance for that podcast. Is Bailey part of the LGBTQIA??

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!
