As someone who loves snarking on both TBP & alicia, I was very VERY put off by the holier than thou attitudes in the alicia sub after birdies got shut down about the levels of snark. “Oh that’s why we have the rules that we have” you are not better than any of us, k thanks! There are still plenty of comments daily on that sub that teeter the line of being fatphobia, let’s not act above it all. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest & I’m glad to be here. ❤️
I was just thinking about that earlier today, after reading through comment after comment attacking her appearance. They don’t even flirt with fatphobia, they openly practice it and say horrible things about her appearance constantly including:
Big forehead, big chin, meaty fists, frizzy hair, sweat slick around her legs, needs to wear absorbent underwear on her head, foul, doesn’t wash, thin, stringy hair, parched, still nothing special, Jay Leno wants his chin back, comments about overeating, she’s a feral beastie…it goes on and on.
I see much worse “bullying” there on a daily basis than I ever saw on TBP snark, so not sure where their attitude is coming from. I stopped participating in that sub because it was mostly all about insulting her looks and not about what makes her problematic.
Ya like how she constantly is editing herself to be smaller & causing body dysmorphia since she doesn’t disclose her true clothing size but the comments going on about how repulsive they find her are just…😬😬😬 I have no words.
This is how I feel with many other snark subs. I’ve always felt ours was by far the tamest snark I have personally seen, because the majority of the posts that did touch on appearance were moreso observations about the editing and the difference in her real appearance vs what she posted
Some of them were trying to blame Janette and that really got my blood boiling but I wasn’t going to pick any fights over there. It does seem that some have an agenda of some kind but I can’t figure out why.
I despise Alicia but I never participated in any of the fat shaming and agree that sub has no moral high ground to stand on. I also think they’ll be next once Alicia figures out how Sarah did it.
There are some foul and awful comments in that sub. They just hide it all in a weekly thread. I’d argue that they aren’t even teetering the line of fatphobia, some comments are flat out fatphobic. I guess we have a new need to discuss where do we draw the line on snark pages?
1000%. I was so disheartened. I had to comment on a thread that was basically blaming it all on the mods. Fuck right off with your “this is why we have the rules we do”. There wasn’t near the pressure and attention on Leakys sub compared to all the eyes on birdies. We were under a microscope. I used to love that place, but I’m over it now.
