To not get what this has to do with Caroline Flack?!

[Rainbowb]

Have been getting tagged in lots of FB posts with photos of the poster pouting at the camera saying:

The news of Caroline Flack has been so devastating.... 😢

Let's do this for Caroline Flack 💔
#ChallengeAccepted 😍 #24hours
(If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended, I tried to pick people who I thought would take part).
All too often, some women find it easier to criticize each other or themselves instead of building each other up, with all the negativity going around, lets do something positive!!
Because you are beautiful!! 😘
Upload 1 picture of yourself... ONLY you.
Then tag 25 or more gorgeous women to do the same. Build yourself up instead of tearing yourself down ❤️COPY AND PASTE
If I tagged you, don't disappoint me.

How on earth does posting a pic of yourself and desperately fishing for compliments help Caroline Flack or anyone else?! The way people respond to a tragedy by creating another hashtag bandwagon is so appalling!

Agreed. I’ve ignored the ones I’m tagged in but are you aware you posted this in pregnancy chat?

Oh god i used to hate those - and anyone who doesn't get tagged will feel like they're not beautiful and no-one cares. Great

Weirdly, chain letters are one of those strange things that pre-dated the internet. You had to physically copy them out and give them to your friends. Or else the magic wouldn't happen at midnight and the boy you fancied would never be yours.

In short: nothing to do with Caroline Flack and everything to with someone somewhere getting a kick out of making people do stuff.

Its got nothing to do with her. I've ignored them all.
The ones that bother me are the ' tell me 20 things about you're type ones. You know the one, how many children? Do you like cheese? Have you fired a gun? ,etc. People are giving out way too much information about themselves without realizing. On one I just said do you want my mothers Maiden name and the name of my first pet!

It’s getting right on my nerves ...posting a picture of yourself on Facebook, so people can say how beautiful you are? Is this really where we, as women, are up to? Why are we not posting about our achievements, our proudest moment, our CVs .. or whatever, why does it need to be about how we look (still).
It’s compete bullshit - as women, in the 21st Century, we are still judging, and being judged on our looks rather than our achievements - who thought that was a good idea ? Misogynistic shite

I have ignored the ones I have been tagged in, it makes me cringe to be honest.

Somewhat ironic given the 'Be Kind' nonsense also being spouted. Quite why that's linked to her is also a mystery. This is when I'm glad I no longer do FB.

It’s not in pregnancy ?

I've just been talking about this. The ones I'm getting say don't be offended if you're not tagged - I tagged people I thought were fun!! How is that being kind? Also people posting about helping people with depression etc. I know they mean well but, as someone with bipolar, you soon find out who your friends are once you stop being fun.
It's really got on my tits today.
Must. Leave. Facebook.

Yeah I have been tagged a few times this week. I agree with you. People need to stop using the internet for validation and stop caring LESS about what others think of them not the other way around.

@ToTravelIsToLive

It's in AIBU. Yeah it's such a weird self indulgent 'tribute' I don't understand the connection with what's happened, really weird.

I've ignored it when I've have been tagged. I don't post photos of myself very often at all as it is and not about to start.

Same as the whole posting photos make up free, etc. Didn't do them either. I already spend a lot of time make up free. Anyone who knows me know what I look like without makeup. I don't need to do it to get some special praise for being 'brave' enough!

It's in AIBU

Definitely says it's in pregnancy for me.

This gives me another reason to avoid Facebook. What a pile of shit.

I’ve been tagged in this one too, and “let’s polish each other’s crowns”.
I don’t ‘do’ selfies anyway, so why on Earth they thought I’d be one to take part in the first place is baffling, but it all appears to be a fish for compliments. “You are STUNNING babe!” “Oh, says you ❤️“
vomits

I got tagged in this tripe yesterday....i'm cringing for my friends who have done it...i will not be.

I have never responded to them.

I have my friends. I have FB. 2 different things.

FB is to post and share things for a wider group of aqaintences in a quick and easy way.

What's app and messages etc are for contacting friends and chatt8ng about personal stuff. That and a trip to Costa

Northern that's the bit that leapt out at me. If I didn't tag you - yo7 are not fun. But don't be offended because I'm not being unkind.

Yes the crown one I got! I didn't polish it!

The ones I'm getting say don't be offended if you're not tagged - I tagged people I thought were fun!!

I've been tagged in a couple of these.

Oh the irony- making the friends you haven't tagged feel like crap because they're obviously not "fun".

People need to engage their brains before they think about sharing this kind of shit on Facebook.

It has nothing to do with Caroline Flack, raising awareness of mental health or suicide awareness. It is simply self indulgent social media slacktivism. A friend of mine genuinely thinks her post is uplifting and empowering. She cant see that she isnt actually doing anything!

It’s grim.

I just ignore all this shite.

Sick of the crown ones. Plus the “be kind” ones.

Always be kind, not just because a tv presenter has died. Peacocks are selling t-shirts with “be kind” on them, saw them instore today.🙄

It’s ridiculous. They’re all forgetting she was about to go on trial for violent assault on her partner.

Another thing getting right on my tits is businesses, and it seems to be specifically beauty salons, using this as advertising.

I've seen salons jumping on the bandwagon saying in memory of her they're no longer having gossip magazines in the salon - one of these being the bitchiest hairdresser in our town who doesn't have a pleasant word to say about anyone, I've seen salons who have reamed some beauty treatments... "The Caroline massage" and "The Flack Facial" anyone - it's totally distasteful and they're only doing it for the "likes" on social media.
