I wish we could hold people who do stuff like this with their social media platform accountable and make it so whoever does this kind of stuff would get deplatformed immediately or something.
It’s gross that some people think it’s genuinely okay to practically sic their fans on people who just… don’t like what they do, or might disagree with something they said. The fact the TikTok person also said “love will always outshine being a hater, I hope I taught you that today” is a fucking disgusting and twisted line of thinking because he’s encouraging his fans to hate on the critic - where’s the “love” in that?
Just assume anyone who gets popular on social media platform for regularly doing something that seems u likely is staging it. Or just assume they all stage everything.
Then there is no need to try and expose anyone because we already know they are entertainers who stage everything.
That’s what creeps me out about those animal rescue videos on YouTube. Like, one video of finding an emaciated kitten and nursing it back to health - cool. A whole channel full of these? Where the fuck are you “finding” all these poor animals?
I live in a city area next to the end of where it got developed, there are several “colonies” of abandoned cats nearby. My mom used to take care of them, we ended up with 16 cats at home, about 20+ in a couple nearby colonies 40+ in some further away ones… and I got livid when she sent me a photo with 5 kittens in a box someone had left next to a dumpster, asking if she should take them home.
If you wanted kittens, I could find you so many kittens, that you wouldn’t have the time to make videos of all of them.
In the areas that never watched Price is Right, probably.
I’m sorry, but… how does that relate to what I am saying?
I was talking about how we should hold these influencers accountable for doing shit like siccing fans on critics or publicly posting the location of a critic’s house on social media after doxxing said critic. Whether their content is real or not is an entirely different conversation - I’m talking about how these social media platforms should make this kind of behavior not okay and deplatform them for basically using their fanbase and/or fame to intimidate and threaten others.
people who just… don’t like what they do
it’s worse than that!
An art critic to a critical eye to his art, there are some negatives pointed out but overall it’s a rather beginning and positive review. This mob was unleashed because he dared to offer actual mainstream attention…

We should also hold their fans accountable for being mindless assholes. If some guy I watch on the internet tells me that he got a bad review, my first thought is not “I should send death threats to this reviewer”. Like, that’s not how a normal, semi well adjusted person behaves!

Seriously! Some content creators I like wrote books, I assume the books are going to be ok. They aren’t fiction writers idk what to tell you. Hell a friend of mine wrote a book and if critics deride it I’m going to just console her and keep recommending it to people who I think will appreciate it for what it is.
