Are you close friends with this person? If you are, perhaps you can kindly point out the pitfalls of influencer culture. If not, it may be best to just unfollow. If it's an acquaintance, you'll still see em when you see em - they probably won't even notice. If you don't even know them personally, just unfollow without remorse. I'm finding it's better to be ruthless in curating your SM feeds because it can be a tricky slope from mildly irritating to daily rage lol
She's not technically lying, because she's actually using Tiktok & Snapchat filters 🥰
Yup - the left is what she (The Birds Papaya) shares on her IG, the right was taken by a professional photographer. These pictures are from the same day. She claims to be a "body positive" influencer. Perhaps now you can understand a bit better why she has a community of "haters" 🤪
I love that you're here, welcome! 😍💓✨️
I know the consensus before was that Getty Images probably wouldn't bother photoshopping any non-celebrity face, but I can't get over how ridiculous her nose looks in the right-hand picture. I just don't fully believe that can be true. I mean, are these nostrils for ants?! 😅
Marketing 101: what are people insecure about? Tap into it and sell them the solution.
Yes, they are absolutely banking on their audience's lack of critical thinking skills. I get it—most people see a post on social media, take it at face value, and move on. But I think that's what makes influencer marketing so insidious: it's manipulative and based on a false narrative meant to sell products, without being as forthright as an ad or commercial. Birdie's supporters don't see her as a salesperson; they see her as a friend, as a brave woman fighting for women's empowerment. Meanwhile, she's just trying to get you to buy a bathing suit.
Yes!! TBP is particularly infuriating because she reduces women to mere consumerists, whose loftiest goal should be to "wear the bikini". I saw a comment somewhere on IG that said TBP on the runway, was "the most important movement for women" and I wanted to scream. Surely women are capable of much more! She stands for nothing of importance, but is held up as some sort of paragon of women's empowerment. It's so twisted.
It's honestly really cool that y'all can see who they are!
There's immediately 3 down votes every new thread. I'm gonna guess they are 1. Sarah 2. Alicia and 3. the neighbor lol
She only hit 2.4 mil followers because she bought them, though. But I guess if anyone believes their own hype, it's definitely her.
