Caitlin Moran #2 She’s just insulting everyone’s intelligence now

[Whatevesmate]

GCSE Sociology

Catlin Moron has only ever ripped off other people's ideas and repackaged them as being ahead of the zeitgeist with added for luck.

She is not just thick, but incredibly egotistical, so always thinks she got there first. Her writing style is dated now and cringe. There are so many more talented people outside than london clique.

If anyone is annoyed by Caitlin thinking she is some kind of prophet (foresaw, give me a break) I would recommend watching the Henry Rollins clip posted in this thread. Seeing how he completely owns her is so amusing

I’m as old as the hills and it was known at least twenty five years ago that the working class boys had been somewhat ignored as a group since the loss of a lot of manufacturing jobs in the 70s and 80s

I’m not in the field, but I reckon there’s probably one or two peer-reviewed scientific articles about just this. And no ‘research’ wasn’t done on twitter….

But everything happens on Twitter? If it doesn’t happen on twitter how will Caitlin know about it?

Her glee at being on bluesky and it being just like twitter "days of yore" is typically cringe inducing.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

It really is. It’s hilarious how she and other celebs all flounced off Twitter because they lost their blue tick. When she says ‘days of yore’ she means a time when she and her pals could act like they were above the normies

 

[youncer]

and not be viciously troled

 

[SqualorVictoria]

The blue tickers themselves were often the vicious trolls. Just ask Dawn O’Porter

 

[FrannyGallops]

What’s most hilarious is that they have to keep coming back onto Twitter to announce how much better Bluesky is and what an amazing time everyone is having over there. Just duck off and delete your X account if it’s so marvellous.

I predict every single blue tick will eventually slink back to X full time and never mention Bluesky again at some point. It’s just like when Threads was announced.

 

[Whatevesmate]

They remind me of a group of obnoxious twats who arrive at a new pub take up loads of space and carry-on like they own the place. Insufferable tossers.

 

[Vanelope]

I don’t participate in threads but they keep coming up on my insta uninvited and they are without doubt the whiniest most self important beggy lot I’ve ever read. It’s all complaining or boasting. How do I get rid of it? I’m glad
Bluesky is not invading uninvited?

It's ghastly isn't it? Moran acting like she invented Bluesky and welcoming people 'SO lovely to SEE Bob Mortimer HERE!!!!!!!! Now we KNOW X is officially OVER!!!!!!!!'.
Nauseating.

You can turn it off - opt out in settings somehow. But it comes back. It’s awful - the rando thoughts of a rando invading my Instagram feed that I largely haven’t chosen The game’s gone.

Threads is truly bottom of the barrel stuff, which is saying a lot considering Twitter exists.

 

[FrannyGallops]

When she says it’s just like the X ‘days of yore’ on bsky, does she mean her and her twatty mates talking amongst themselves while ignoring ‘ordinary’ users like the mean girls they are? And getting absolutely no pushback on her crappy takes where she relates every current issue that’s going on in the country to growing up in a large family in a council house?

Got it
It's the smug echo chamber twitter used to be before riff-raff turned up.

If you scroll through who they follow its not a very diverse bunch, too. The usual overwhelmingly white, middle class blue tick meeedya wanx.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

What is overwhelmingly white?

 

[HotesTilaire]

What is overwhelmingly white?

not following anyone who is a person of colour, the group is all white people
