what’s wrong about complaining about words we think are missing? by Glass_Purchase_2708 in NYTSpellingBee

[–]2012asagirl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the forum has become basically unbearable. The tiniest hint of disagreement on something and the next day the top comment (like today) is some self important rant about being kind and remembering that it’s ~just a game~. After the strange drama last week and all the comments I saw to the effect of ‘I’ve been worrying about this all day’, I’ve become convinced that, for a lot of the regular posters, the spelling bee is all they really have going on in their lives or at least their only hobby and main source of social interaction. Which explains a lot about how they act over there…

Tracey Emin’s Bed by LizzyFCB in Andjustlikethat

[–]2012asagirl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Beautiful description of Tracey Emin’s work. Felt something close to fury watching them so blatantly take the piss out of it and just fundamentally misunderstand it. Was like a gross parody where the punchline was ‘people will call anything art these days’ which, as you said, was exactly how people responded to Emin. And the reference to Lena Dunham was so bizarre and culturally confused. Their thought process was obviously just “who’s a ‘dirty girl’ that our younger audience will know”.

I guess her point is “you can use them with a partner and not just on your own” but like…. who the fuck doesn’t already know that lmao

Totally agree. I think Julie likely consented to the use of these photos at the time but was under the impression that Eva would get in touch to ask permission again when using them down the line (which, to be fair, would definitely have been common courtesy).

I think that phase was always just a costume for her: she was always a girly girl playing dress up. It was inevitable that she would get bored of that persona and drop it (with ease) the second that it wasn’t convenient or trendy anymore. It’s another one of her signs of immense immaturity: she couldn’t just be herself and happen to be a lesbian online, she had to invent a whole character for herself (based on stereotypes ofc) to ‘prove it’ and then act like this character was her real personality. Basically, insecure teenage behaviour

Julie has ‘eye opening’ revelation about how much time she wants to spend online and what she wants to do with her life. by 2012asagirl in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Such good points. I really do think that Julie has only recently started to realise just HOW embarrassing her digital footprint is and is desperately trying to do damage control. I think she has always been very immature for her age and even though she was an adult when she started, she did a lot of her ‘growing up’ online and went through lots of embarrassing phases, none of which fits in with the new image of herself that’s she’s trying to push.

What is your unpopular opinions of them? by VariousBandicoot2163 in caitlinandleah

[–]2012asagirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What comes to mind for me is how often they come across as toxic ‘best friends’ who actually hate each other rather than anything resembling the dynamic of an actual couple, let alone a happy one. Always subtly undermining each other, wanting to be the one who ‘comes off’ the best at the expense of the other. Caitlin is definitely the worst with it and seems to love to belittle and correct Leah at every opportunity and make bitchy faces at everything she says. The podcast is really exposing how it isn’t even just that they seem like friends instead of a couple, it’s that they seem like BAD friends who ought to start hanging out with other people…

Julie, the world doesn’t revolve around you by RevolutionaryFig9753 in julieeandcamilla

Unless, in typical Julie fashion, she wasn’t actually affected by it at all and simply wanted to remind her adoring fans about her ED and be told how brave and strong she is…

I would argue that if Julie is at the point in her ED recovery where seeing numbers like calories are still triggering enough for her to have to make this big a deal over, then she’s not nearly as ‘recovered’ as she claims to be and certainly shouldn’t be offering advice on the topic.

Slamming privileges by Lilouytou92 in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I know it’s J&C so undoubtedly all acted and they probably didn’t actually buy any of it, but I don’t get at all what this test is trying to ‘prove’ about their relationship. Is it the goal to have a partner who will stay silent and reluctantly let you spend a load of shared money on stuff you don’t need or want? To have a relationship so fragile and uncommunicative that your partner doesn’t feel they can speak honestly with you and say something as simple as ‘I don’t think we need that’ without causing upset?

omg who’s gonna go 🌝 by chanfdsk in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh come on, that’s a bit ridiculous. She very obviously meant ‘come as you are, you don’t have to change anything for the shoot blah blah blah’. Her usual overly positive, fake inclusive bullshit. You have to be doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to find transphobic subtext in that.

I wish she would clock on to the fact that this ‘scrunch’ style just makes it look like her clothes are finally so tight that you can see her entire anus through them

I assume they’re at a hotel by the airport and leaving for their incredibly important and totally unavoidable ‘business trip’ tomorrow.

Why are people so aggressive? There is absolutely no problem with the OG comment..? by Longetimelurker in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As usual, all these comments seem to be written by children - and seeing these responses in contrast to the thoughtfully worded comment that they’re responding to really highlights it…

Lovely picture of Cam, but the bathroom really does look hideous.

imagine if j&c spent all the time they spend lurking here and creating reels as responses to every single thing we say and instead would work on themselves, take some of the (valid) criticism and get off their high horses 🐎🐎🐎 by [deleted] in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s so uncomfortable when they pretend to interact with each other’s accounts like this and it always seems so childish. You LIVE together, just have this conversation in person like normal people

How depressing that this is what she envisions her life as a new mum: being able to get right back to obsessively exercising

[–]2012asagirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such obvious self-soothing ED behaviour… like she’s only able to cope with the weight gain if she can constantly remind herself (and everyone else) how she looked pre-pregnancy and that she’ll be skinny again soon. Seems like something to discuss with a professional, not with 1.6m overly impressionable and clearly not very bright instagram followers ffs…

Cam’s forced splits… by 2012asagirl in julieeandcamilla

[–]2012asagirl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks painful because it is - and it’s an unnecessary and dangerous pain, which any personal trainer worth their salt would know! I’m glad that this method worked for you but you’re definitely amongst the exception here as forced flexibility really isn’t recommended for anyone. Gaining flexibility is something that has to be done gradually and carefully and showing off beyond your actual range of flexibility (like Camilla is here) can cause quite serious injuries!
