'Bullying' is such a strong accusation. Of course it's a subjective concept, but we're all entitled to an opinion. And this is a gossip site last time I checked. I just find it hypocritical to call people out for bullying Lydia. Isn't calling someone a bully especially based on limited evidence 'bullying' also? And surely even reading on this site you're inadvertently complicit in this misconceived bullying. And using an example of 'dumb
witch'; lemme tell ya, this girl has literally just vlogged that she thinks she has brain damage from over-thinking because she had to take some much needed time off to lick her wounds after her launch bombed. Because she tried to flog over-priced tat from China to her loyal followers and then silenced them all when they questioned this. I can think of a lot of adjectives to describe this, especially during a global pandemic, and guess what 'dumb' is up there. I understand we all make flippant comments in the moment, I definitely do
, but this is Lydia's job so she should be more accountable. Plus, her vlogs are not live, so her team have the luxury most of us do not, in editing any of her comments or actions that could be misconstrued.
My intention is never to offend anyone on here. And I've not come across anyone on these threads who are intentionally spiteful. I can't account for other threads as I only read Lydia's. I understand some comments, mine included, can be in jest, maybe even uncomfortable to read at times. But do we just not call out her fraudulent behaviours? Shall we just ignore all crime, racism, sexism and so forth in general, because it's uncomfortable and may offend someone?! Of course with Lydia it's personal, but that's because her job revolves around her entire life. She has control and ownership over what to and what not to put online. There are both positive and negative ramifications to this, as there are with every job. I receive death threats, hold guilt if 'I've done enough' during prosecution, and so on, but working in the criminal justice system I have to expect this. If I don't like it, then it's my prerogative to
duck off and change my career, just as it is Lydia's. I'll always be an advocate of mental wellbeing, but I also think sometimes we all just need to grow a set.
