tit family

Only for photoshoots to show he’s a

Unlike the World’s Biggest Grifters, Harry and Meghan (waaaaaaaaagh), I’d pay good money to watch Alf’s documentary. And I do reckon there’ll be one. There’s a growing movement among children of influencers who were unable to consent to having their childhood monetised, and all their most private and embarrassing moments (being filmed on the lavatory, the so-called parents laughing over something unwittingly disgusting the child did) shared with all and sundry. And these kids, now grownups, are Angry. They’ve been robbed of normality. They can never get back those years during which they interacted with a lens, not their parents; where their life experiences were mediated via YouTube and Instagram.
Alf will have an awful lot to complain about. Firstly and most importantly, Ms James has left evidence of her neglect, dislike and disappointment with him *everywhere*. She takes the opportunity to
witch about him in ad-aff promos, reels, insta-stories and long, rambling pieces of barely-comprehensible prose. Now she is comparing him with Doll-Daughter - the sibling rivalry will be intense and, I can imagine, quite unpleasant. Secondly, Tattle stands as a memorialisation of her neglect. From a freezing bedroom to inadequate clothing which was begrudgingly bought or begged, from leaving a child lying in their own faeces and vomit to auto-dosing him with Calpol on flights of any duration, from utter lack of emotional engagement to too-small, painful footwear, from an atrocious diet to Mummy iPad, it’s all here, neatly docketed and receipted. And my own article will be out there too
Karma may come slow, but when she does, she will come as a mighty wave.
