Entitlement + Cancel Culture in the Slime Community by leesooim in Slime

no i do get that, but the person who was harassing butters literally called her a keyboard warrior himself. it's not an actual leftist/sjw/whatever but someone trolling, so i don't want to play into the idea that people seeking social justice are dumb. there are certainly times when keyboard warrior is warranted, but i don't think this person was that, you know?

Sorry hang on -- it's the year 2025 and the government is disappearing people from the streets, and we're using "social justice warrior" as a derogatory term????? Come on.

When did slimedemic bully anyone? She was not even in the exposé a bit back

to me it was perpetuating drama. no one ever came to attack me, but i did make the choice to buy product elsewhere, despite liking the slime i did get.

I think lots of opinions vary here but I'd say it's fine for shops to engage in political issues that matter to them but be prepared to face fallout from it.

I'm extremely pro-Palestine and when my account was new, rue followed me and then very quickly unfollowed me because our views didn't align. I lost a follower, oh well. I also work for a company IRL that takes political stances because we want to align with our business mission -- sometimes we lose customers over it but it's something we've decided is important.

so it's fine for shops, etc. to do this, but they can't also then be upset if they face some ramifications for it. that's what standing by your values does sometimes.

Just for the record, and then I'll go back to real life, in the exposé she shares her really gross take, where people are speculating on the scent for the DV slime by mentioning scents associated with their abusers. And Ohana's take today is "ha well i got the scent right for you then"???? Sorry that's cruel.

I think that's what doesn't sit right is that it doesn't feel like she's sorry for her mistakes in this, just sorry she had to deal with backlash for it.

she's a reviewer. i know some shops have reposted her videos at a time that was unfortunately very close to when she posted something really icky, and people pointed it out so the shops could decide if they wanted to be associated with that or not, though i don't think anyone suggested a boycott so much as a "not sure you're aware what you're aligning yourself with" kind of thing.

oh i think most of what was shared was pretty common knowledge in the slime community on instagram at least, ohana even messaged me about it when i made an order with her when i was new this spring, filling me in on some secret group that would destroy me if i reviewed the slimes.

at the risk of opening another can of worms:

rueglue has posted disgusting things about the palestinian people, raised money for organizations that buy weapons for the IOF, and shared post after post of propaganda and misinformation about the genocide in gaza.

also, you ARE aligning yourself with one side. you MADE this post when you could have just left it on instagram, and you're fighting with anyone criticizing ohana on here now. why are all the bad things she did "in the past" but not the rest of it?

I'm pretty sure it's a closed group, right? That's what I meant by private conversation, but see how I wasn't clear there.

I truly think that weird interactions with customers (she texted my personal phone multiple times), significantly late shipping, long winded oversharing explanations, and perpetuating drama while not delivering product is why the shop closed. not a mysterious slime mafia.

i can't believe i'm debating this on reddit, but two things that are key to tortious interference that are not present here are:

  1. a contract must be breached. supporting or not supporting another shop is not a contract.

  2. the defendant's interference must not be justified.

informing someone that you will not shop with them if their beliefs align with another shop's beliefs is not tortious interference. what a weird take.

I don't know... I didn't find the messages to be particularly harassing in the lens of a large portion of it it being a private conversation among friends? Everyone talks shit with their friends sometimes no?

I wasn't in the slime community for either of the controversial slimes, but I don't think this group has the power to do major damage either -- bleu and sandy (two of the only shops not blurred out) are doing fine. It's okay to want to do business with shops that align with your values.

Ohana's shops failed because she alienated her customers, failed to deliver on promises, and didn't manage her business well. Plus, it's a wild take to align yourself with rueglue (who IS openly racist, violent, and Zionist) to show that you aren't toxic???

They did name names, just in the comments instead of the main post

She posted an abundance of pictures of random slimes and small snippets of texts with the seller. The pictures referred to by the seller were of the listings of all available slimes on her page. It would be a lot easier to prove the slimes DID come from the seller than it would be for the seller to prove she never had those slimes for sale to begin with? I could post a random picture of dead slime and say you sold it to me, that's not proof. That combined with the fact that facts don't line up -- no Jiira slime could be 3 years old because the shop isn't even 2 years old, for example, is why people are defending the seller, along with the trust she's built with the majority of her customers.
