I don't follow or have any interest in following AFlucy so I have no skin in that game but as a general comment to

Do you not see how these forums and threads appear in response to what's posted online and that we come here to vent about and discuss the content that's being put out. Because that's how this all works you see, people willingly put their lives on the internet for anyone to see, other people consume it and unless they're brain dead, they have thoughts and opinions on said content. And newsflash, it's not always positive. But when we attempt to engage in civilized debate with the content creator, we're often shut down, have our comments deleted or are blocked. Or worst of all we're told to be "nice", be "kind", "just unfollow" or "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". We're labelled jealous, trolls, keyboard warriors or
"sad bitchy women". And we're the bullies?
Are we supposed to think every single thing we see on the internet is all happy positive rainbows and unicorns all day every day, we're not allowed to disagree and comment negatively on something on the internet? When you start to try and control the narrative and censor (or delete) what people say, that's a slippery slope. A lot of the influencers that get talked about here just don't seem to be able to handle the negativity that comes with sharing their life online but calling someone a bully for having an opinion is indefensible.
Sites like this exist becasue there's nowhere else the discussion can freely take place. I personally think sometimes comments get too personal and cross a line but for the most part we're having healthy discussion about important topics like advertising ethics, online safety of children, children being used to earn money for families etc etc. If that constitutes cyber bullying in your mind then yes I would like you to explain it to me becasue as far as I can see it's nothing more than a space on the internet where people can voice their opinions. And if the people being talked about don't like it, here's an idea....just stop posting.
