Women being nasty/body shaming other women

Autumnlovelove · 01/11/2024 14:37

Ive just seen an article in the Daily Mail with a headline intending to body shame.
It really angers me.
I know everyone says what do you expect from journalists especially something like the Daily Mail.
But seriously in this day and age with so much focus on being kind and issues surrounding peoples mental health you would think this horrible attitude would stop.

The article is about Lauren from Only way is Essex and is clearly written in a way for people to mock her. Its so nasty especially as Lauren has spoken up only recently about how low she feels.

The fact that its another woman doing this for some reason makes me feel even angrier.

Ive posted the article on here just to show how awful journalists are and hope that Journalists like this will eventually be called out and cancelled.

@MartinCrieffsLemon ok whatever you say.
I cant see the irony because there is no irony.
For the millionth time i have no hare campaign against the journalist. I do not know the journalist . I have simply called her out on her passive aggressive body shaming article of another woman.

Now hopefully this answer will satisfy you and the 'other' two very similar posters that keep going at me.

I think you and 'others' should take your own advice

I think when MN remove your post you can come back and apologise.

I agree with @HausofHolbein . It's completely obvious what those pics are intended for. I'm not at all into celeb culture and don't know who this women is or what she previously looked like but I'm assuming she was glamorous and considered very attractive. The photos show a perfectly ordinary mum on the school run but they are not flattering and if you can't see the very obvious "ooh look what happened to her" undertone you're deluded. I do remember the old magazines that would circle "flaws" and agree that they know they can't do that now. They don't have to. Just printing an unflattering pic is enough. If they wanted to do "here's an ex celeb having a lovely mum moment" they could ask her to pose for a smiley pic, not sneakily take one when she's just going about her normal day.

@InformerYaNoSayDaddyMeSnowMeIGoBlameALickyBoom why do you want my post removed so badly?

Now that is irony!

I reported it so MNHQ could let you know that there's no sock puppeting going on, and you can stop being so paranoid.

I don't think you understand the meaning of irony.

Please, tell me how it's ironic that I want MNHQ to tell you that I'm not sock puppeting?

Clearly I don't understand, so I'll look forward to your explanation.

@InformerYaNoSayDaddyMeSnowMeIGoBlameALickyBoom
I didn't nt know what 'sock puppeting' is.

All i know is 3 user names with very similar styles of writing and views have been going at me all through this thread.

Perhaps 3 different email accounts have been set uo with 3 different user names? Perhaps not. But hey as you said it is probably just my 'paranoia'.

You think that I'm sitting here logging in and out of 3 different accounts?.... it's definitely your paranoia.

Report me and the 2 others and MNHQ can probably check the IP addresses too. Happy to confirm to MNHQ who I am.

Just FYI there are probably more than 3 people in the world with the same POV.

Still awaiting the explanation of how it's ironic that I want MNHQ to confirm I'm not sock puppeting (or, apparently, logging in and out of 3 different accounts now).

@InformerYaNoSayDaddyMeSnowMeIGoBlameALickyBoom
Lets just agree to disagree. Your tone and way you have come at me in this thread has made me feel quite uncomfortable.

I dont owe you any explanations and you don't owe me any.

Lets just leave it at that and move on.

Weird way to admit you're wrong, but I'll take it.

Autumnlovelove · 02/11/2024 08:29

@InformerYaNoSayDaddyMeSnowMeIGoBlameALickyBoom
Not at all. Just getting a bit tired of you keep coming at me.
But if you want to view it as an apology then im happy for you and hopefully you can be at peace now.

I have a friend who worked at the daily Mail as he got his foot into journalism. He said 99.9% of the time of this someone from Made in Chelsea, only way is Essex, MAFS or any of those shows is because the person basically arranged it. Why would a paparazzi just be hanging around Harlow?

Also, if you take one look at LG's Instagram you will likely find endless highly edited photos that make her body look very different. This edited and false image of beauty places massive pressure on girls and young women.

You tagged me accusing me of sock puppeting 🤔

After my couple of comments you weren't even on my radar until that.

I don't view it as an apology, I'm sure you still believe in your weird conspiracy theory.

Well your post was deleted for breaking talk guidelines so I guess we will have to agree I was right and you're due 3 people an apology.

Hope that eases your paranoia somewhat.

I'll be hiding your thread now because, quite frankly, I can't be arsed anymore.

I've literally never heard "broad in the beam" used so I think you're wrong that it's an obvious connection

It is definitely a saying DM journalists would be aware of.

Oh no, 3 people have the same view point and it's not yours. Must be the same person...

You have initiated a hate campaign against this woman. You posted her picture and SM account alongside the phrase "I hope people like this get called out and cancelled". You started doubling down on her some how deserving the abuse because she wrote an article which was nothing to do with Lauren's looks. More than one person has pointed out she didn't write the tag you insist is the problem but you ignore it and more than one person now has said these stories are faked and sold to the papers by the person they are about to increase their "presence".

Now you're getting flack, and quite rightly called out for your vindictive attitude, you've started playing the victim, saying you feel "uncomfortable" and trying to shut down reasonable discussions with "let's agree to disagree". You've accused people of being nasty whilst also trying to insist 3 of us must be the same person because we agree with each other, which is quite nasty of you. You then fail to see any irony in you making a post saying about people being kind online which attacking people for having different opinions to you and leading a hate campaign against this woman

Ffs I am a DIFFERENT PERSON
You're insistence we are all one because we don't agree with you is just bordering on abusive now

People are allowed to disagree with you and be more than one person

Autumnlovelove · 02/11/2024 11:25

@MartinCrieffsLemon absolutely. However i disagree with what you are saying.
Im sorry if you feel i am being abusive in any way.
That is not my intention. I feel that way about the way you are speaking to me.
That is why I've said to you a few times now lets agree to disagree. But for some reason you want to keep on going at me with the same accusations.

Let's just leave it and agree to disagree.
