Yeah I totally agree.

I'd never heard of these people but this violent race to "cancel" him seems very excessive. Sure, I don't think he seems like he has it completely together and being young he is going to say some stupid things - but these people who are "calling him out" on various incidents are the very ones who are happy to partake in this circle wank influencer bullshit and use it to their own advantage when it suits.

I really don't wanna spent time regarding him but from what I saw in videos (a minute here and there), he seems very annoying, arrogant and privilidged (the tweet about influencers in Met gala, like...) and I just don't like that. I don't care where is on the spectrum of being feminine and/or flamboyant; he's just annoying.

I can't at this getting coverage in one of the biggest Dutch news sites. Like, is it a slow day? I hope all the coverage doesn't turn out in him getting a bigger name though.

I know people think it's quite extreme that Tati did what she did over sleeping pills and I totally agree that the online witch Hunt is terrifying. I also agree with those of you saying that it is hypocritical that Tati was willing to work with him after the Ebola joke. From Tatis perspective though, she put herself on the line taking him under the wing after that and he still sold out to a rival brand.

However, it should be noted that this is what happens in every walk of life.. this is just on a very public scale. Take it as a life lesson. Never ever bite the hand that feeds you unless you have a very good reason. The people who helped make you can break you.

Sanne Vloet is a Dutch Cictoria's secret model slash vlogger and she has the most lovely speaking voice. Watch her videos (which are mostly her making smoothies and granola) and chill out.

I can't believe how wrapped up in vloggers I've become but theres so much juice and action.

Let me educate you. There is a batch of female American vloggers currently aged 17 to 21 who are the equivalent of what the Laguna Beach stars were to millennials.

They live all across the US but a company called Dote put them on loads of trips and got them to vlog the trips. However, all of the non white girls have since spoken out about being mistreated by Dote on these trips. It's quite the scandal.

Furthermore, one of these elite teen vloggers happens to be one of the children involved in the college bribery scandal (the one who faked being a rower for a sports scholarship). Her vlogs show her to have complete lack of interest in college.

Also the most successful of this elite vlogging crew completely left the crew and cut everyone out of her life. Emma Chamberlain is the name and she is a fascinating character herself.

Wow. Coincidentally the above drama blew up even more. Previously it was thought that only Dote, the company, were being racist but leaked of one of the main girls, Summer McKeen, being outwardly racist and messy.

I'm telling you popjustice, get on this YouTuber ship, it's entertaining.

I'm starting to get really into vloggers unironically. All they do is talk nonsense and do nothing much but I'm so intrigued.

Why does this sound like the start of a creepypasta

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I very recently discovered Drag Race-adjacent youtube series Alyssa's Secret and UnHhhhh which are hilarious and oddly comforting. It's like hanging out with your friends and have done A LOT to carry me through a difficult time so I definitely recommend them if you feel like blowing off some steam for a few minutes.

Anyone have any recs for music reactors/reviewers? Something like AjayII's videos but someone with......... no shade but taste and something of substance to say.

I like ReacttotheK for bringing in a lot of music theory talk, but that only covers K-pop.

This is a video by a YouTuber about a TikToker so I figure... it fits here?


In summary:
Paul is 24 and scams kids on TikTok, is cancelled, leaves TikTok.
Paul is seen on Instagram using a the name 'Troy'.
Paul comes back under old name, says he's heard of this 'Troy' person who looks like him (though it's obviously him).
Paul proceeds to 'give' account to 'Troy'.
'Troy' pretends to be a completely different person who is 16 and also an actor who is always filming big things that never materialise.

I’ve lowkey become mesmerised by Jeffree Star and the unfathomable wealth he has been able to accumulate. This video is something.



I understand how much of a big business make up is but I’m not able to grasp how enough people are buying millions of copies of luminous pink, green and blue palettes to make his brand as successful as it is. That goes for all of these new waves of make-up lines - who is actually wearing this fluorescent make up in public?

Regarding make up: i don't get it either. The market is saturated but Jefree sells out all the time yet you never see people with this crazy make up in public, even at festivals.

Regarding Jefree Star: he is the internet star who keeps bouncing back. Both himself and Tila Tequila were the first internet celebrities but only one has survived.

Jeffree has like...a lot of investment in companies outside of makeup I believe? I suppose with him he’s putting out genuinely strong products/formulas tied to an aspirational YouTube channel not unlike the Kardashians. Combine that with the concept of his makeup reviews and his stamp of approval has weight that indirectly endorses his own brand which is all under his name.

From what I’m aware a lot of 20-30s white women ADORE him in that way that he’s the ‘gay best friend’ on a macro scale. Frankly for all of his scandals and trashiness I do find something heartening in seeing an overtly queer person having such unimaginable success especially given how it all started. Contrapoints made a comparison between him and Gigi Gorgeous that he clearly comes across as relatively grounded and ‘normal’ vs the latter wandering round Wal Mart for the first time in awe of what she was seeing in kind of a gross way

I guess seeing a fabulously wealthy person still eat Taco Bell and saying makeup is overpriced makes it relateable enough to the audience that they believe they could achieve that too.

I hate when a persons overt racism and other disgusting behavior is minimized to just being 'scandals'. Hope Jeffree and his house burn down.
