You beat the mid allegations every day

for real, those people's definition of mid is VERY skewed... seems like our culture's beauty standards are raising everyday (or maybe just men's?)

It's the worst of us (men). Just a bunch of sad incel boys trying to feel better about themselves.

Just learned about what gooning is through this post.. I would say something but you already worded it perfectly, “there seems to be no no certainty in this life other than the cruelty of man…”

Your ex gooning to your friends made my stomach drop (and I gasped audibly).

well written, and also more heartbreaking than I expected. It's crazy how cruel the internet can be, internet culture is odd. I'm glad you at least had a positive takeaway at the end :,)

God this described my feelings so well, I didn’t go nearly viral as you but I had a video I made when I was 19 get a decent amount of views and I got an influx of comments telling me that I had a butter face, that the only thing going for me was my chest size, that I looked like Anne Frank, and hundreds of ‘mid’ comments. But at the same time I kept getting DMs of men asking me to do sex work, a boy from my highschool even said that I should do it, this is a rant now but I just wanted to say how much this post resonates with me, thank you for writing it.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. People forget their humanity online. In the real world with real people who have real faces, you are a stunning woman inside and out. Those who have no depth are always the first to judge. The hypersexualization of women and the dehumanization/fetishization of our emotions is so disgusting. You deserved better and I bet you’ll have the last laugh.

literally, those people (mostly men) are the definition of brainrot

About a year ago I kept seeing your “I’m sorry, are you catcalling girls today?!” reel on Insta, like everywhere, and had no idea it was from TikTok (as I don’t use it).

Someone eventually asked “What’s the @?”, and after a few clown replies someone offered one that wasn’t a scam. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I admire your honesty with all of this and I’m here for the ride!
