Hi everyone, I've been trying to screenshot all of the celeb Mermaids endorsements before they are deleted but I'm sure there are some I've missed so I was wondering if you could help me out.

Here are the list of celebs and organisations I've screenshotted (I've got a lot more than this but I'm excluding the minor/random celebs and organisations):

Emma Watson
Munroe Bergdorf
Liberty
Princes Trust
Dr Rang Singh
Jade Thirlwall (Little Mix)
Lorraine Kelly
Aon
Barclays
DMW Group
John Barrowman
Jameela Jamil
Duncan James
Sam Smith
Owen Jones
Starbucks (hard for them to delete that one!)
Channel 4
Canadian High Commission

Have I missed any obvious big names? I don't seem to have Josie Long saved anywhere

I suppose it is that they supported a charity that allegedly used drugs experimentally on minors. Is unnecessary surgery on young peoples bodies ever a good thing? When FGM and breast ironing are mentioned, it is unusually not in a celebratory or cheerleading way. Unlike the current promotion of breast binding, drugs being prescribed and surgical intervention on healthy bodies; irrespective of what guise this is being carried out under.

People have been raising these issues before.

I guess it may be akin to many abuses which have taken place in the past, leaving damaged bodies and souls in their wake. I think people who further promote it are part of the whole thing. They deodorise the veneer. I think is even more bankrupt when someone promotes something along those lines for 'likes'. Not saying they all do it for that, of course. I suspect some may do it to appear more 'progressive' and modern in quite a shallow way. Keeps them relevant. Just mon opinion.

The point about Mermaids is that it is entirely propped up by its celebrity and corporate backers/endorsers. It was the same with Kids Company. You can't tell the story of what happened with Mermaids without this information so I want to save these tweets (before they are deleted) so we don't see history erased. I certainly do not want to see any of these individuals trolled or cancelled.

Unwashed - people are keeping an eye on who is deleting their history. It’s interesting isn’t it? If people start disassociating themselves then that indicates something sinister is happening.

This side doesn’t write to companies and people to try to get them ‘cancelled’, pull webchats and sponsorship deals, organise social media pile ins etc...

SerenityNowwwww · 12/08/2020 17:40

I’m sure they must have a supporters page on their site - if they have supported any awards there will be details there too.

unwashedanddazed · 12/08/2020 17:39

This isn't an attempt at cancel culture (which I hate) but about holding influential people to account for the harm they've caused in supporting this charity
Most proponents of cancel culture say this.

Hate to say it but you're all starting to look a bit deranged and witch hunty, like you're sniffing the air for blood.

If something is going on with Mermaids just what exactly do you intend to do with this list of names? Hold a two-minute hate?

I'm wondering about the police.

Lloyd's bank had mermaids as their official charity for a while

justanotherneighinparadise · 12/08/2020 16:55

If you go to mermaidsgender on Instagram they have all their celebrity supporters showing with names scribbled under their photos. I’m not on there so can’t go through it all, but someone who’s a member on there will see them clearly.

I don't know for sure as i'm not on twitter but I'm pretty sure Ash Sarkar has done stuff supporting Mermaids.

PronounssheRa · 12/08/2020 16:53

That has the usual suspects plus celebs.

I don't think others have deleted tweets (that I know of) but I wanted to archive everything in the event that more and more people started doing it. This isn't an attempt at cancel culture (which I hate) but about holding influential people to account for the harm they've caused in supporting this charity.
