So I realise I will probably get jumped on for “derailing” or being a “Hun” or a brainless hincher but... I’ve been reading the threads about Mrs Hinch on here for a while and remaining silent, we are allowed an opinion and forums like this exist to enable us to post such opinions and I’ve been looking at all sides of what you guys post.
Ive finally decided to risk the potential wrath and post my thoughts.
While I absolutely get that no one needs 30 bottles of zoflo or to pine their lavatory 20 times a day and mixing cleaning products is harmful and toxic and I agree with you all on that what I don’t get is the feeling of sheer hatred against this woman I read in some of the posts.
Why would someone hope a person’s planning application gets refused? Why would it even interest you? Why would you say the dog is not well looked after when you only see a snippet of his life? Why do you wish another person such ill-will?
I just don’t understand why people invest such energy in hating another person? There are so many people in the world causing harm, there are so many issues facing us and while it’s great to campaign against use of chemicals or single use plastic I’m not sure that is what is happening here?
Yes people follow her, yes people buy the stuff she buys and yes she’s making money off it. However we all have free will to make those choices. Yes she might influence but ultimately even if people are being sheeple that is THEIR choice. She cannot make people buy 30 zoflos, they choose to even if it is because she bought 30. She is not in control of others mental health, watching her may help some, watching her may hinder others but again those people have choice and free will.
We are influenced every single day by tv, film, produce in shops, papers, magazines, forums, social media. To castigate one person in such a targeted way and blame her for people getting into debt or worsening their mental health is just bullying in my opinion.
Some of the stuff written on here is so venomous and downright unkind I wonder if words of the same depth and nastiness were used against someone you love how you would feel? If it was happening to your child via social media I’m sure you’d be shouting bullying and be taking steps to stop it. What I see on here in some posts is no different.
Why be unkind if you can be kind? Why spend time spreading ill-will when you could spread positivity? Does it make you feel powerful? Happy? Satisfied? If it does then I think you would not be a person I’d like to know.
I follow Mrs Hinch, have bought a couple of items she “advertised” such as the dryer balls (very good) and a minky (at regular price - not impressed, prefer my cheap ones) but I’m not rushing out to buy a mirrored dressing table. And that’s because I know I have choice, try the things I see advertised in various mediums if they interest me and ignore the rest.
I just don’t understand the hatred? You don’t like her? Fine. Move along. She advertises outside of rules/guidance report her. She doesn’t want to listen to your advice re mixing chemicals? Her choice. You don’t want to do a clockwise clean? Your choice.
Just leave the downright nastiness at the door. It makes my heart sad that people can be so very unkind either in real life or behind a keyboard.
