So I just had a nosy on Cam’s tumblr and I’m sure that this has been mentioned before but I’m not a regular on this thread but I just had to say my piece
Scam (lol) essentially runs a verbal version of Tattle . Some similarities …
✔ she keeps herself anonymous and doesn’t share her real name / picture of herself
✔ she spends her time speculating and discussing the sexuality (weirder than what ee do) and private life of someone she has never met
✔ she has a “keep out of the comments” rule , similar to our “keep it on tattle” rule
✔ she is critical of Taylor Swift , just as we are of influencers
✔ she justifies it by saying it has created a community …. Well , what is tattle if it is not a community ? There are users on here I engage with who know more about me than some people who know me irl and vice versa . I care about many users on here like I know them . If that’s not a community , then what is ?
✔ she describes her podcast as ethical gossip , which is exactly what I’d describe tattle as .
✔ acknowledges celebrities like Taylor Swift don’t like what she is doing but because she’s not directing it at them and instead at her community , then it’s fine …. Hmmm … pot kettle ?
of course she tries to say we’re evil because gabbie is just a
smol yewtuber
(with 750k followers … sooo small
) who hasn’t invited speculation on her personal life and it’s not fair and we are just mean haterzzz .
Gabbie has invited speculation on her personal life throughout her career . She has repeatedly:
✔ alleged to medical issues / posted attention seeking posts of her in hospital to stir up discussion and speculation
✔ shared cryptic things about relationships she’s been in (surprise cricket match , anyone?)
✔ talked openly online about fallouts she’s had with people in her real life , like Zoe and Becca Rose
✔ made underhand and indirect comments about people she’s fallen out with , such as Lucy and Lydia and Hobbie
✔ made cryptic posts about her family situation and her issues with her dad all in the name of attention seeking
✔ had a public spat with Alfie Deyes on Twitter
… just to name a few !
How is that different to Taylor Swift writing songs about men who have wronged her ? Well , I guess Taylor’s songs are catchy and Gabbie’s constantly vying for attention is a pain in the arse but that’s where the differences end !
also if Gabbie really wanted to keep things private , she could . Lots of YouTubers keep their relationships offline and don’t talk or name their partners , even those who are married or in long term relationships . She could’ve easily hidden this strange online fling if she wanted to , but she hasn’t . She’s doing what she’s always done - sharing small snippets to drive up speculation and therefore engagement .
look in the
bleeping mirror , Scam . You are doing exactly what we are doing and try to justify it and doing so very weakly , might I add . The only difference is you’re dating Gabbie and now know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of this . How do you think Joe Alwyn would feel about what you’re saying about Taylor ? Oh right , you’re soooo deluded that you think she’s secretly shacked up with Karlie Kloss (who is married … to a MAN) , and Joe is just a paid actor in her life ! Silly me - you don’t even regard him as real at all !
