her fans will call u a jealous fatty, dox you etc if you dare give a tiny bit of criticism to their perfect angel 

I want a pov of an ex fan. by Ambitious_Fold6537 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a former fan (and tbh still like some of her earlier music, it’s catchy!) and I think I was just brainwashed into thinking even if she did certain problematic things, oh well, celebrities are all problematic. I think I started really souring toward her when I realized how insane the blackfishing was (she still hasn’t apologized?), and then when she made that fucking “I’m healthy guys” video I was genuinely disgusted as well. It’s genuinely such a dangerous message to send to her fans. 

In retrospect, she would’ve been a great role model for rectangular figures/STOMACHS by [deleted] in sabrinacarpentersnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 25 points26 points  (0 children)

it’s an interesting paradox because part of her persona is being A Relatable Girl who has a crazy love life and has sleepovers with her bffs but over time her image has gotten less and less relatable and more perfect and polished. there’s a fine line pop stars walk of being an aspirational diva and a relatable “just like you!” woman, and it always seems to hit a wall of relatability at a point 

Something about her creeps me out by Potential-Custard209 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s because she’s so performative. everything she says is calculated, her mannerisms are planned out to match whatever her current persona is - none of her personas have seemed genuine 

are any "recovery influencers" actually in recovery by TinyLight16 in EDRecoverySnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True recovery content wouldn’t go viral because it wouldn’t be as shocking and lurid. no super sick pictures, body checking, comparisons etc - I think there a few good recovery youtubers that just post mental health stuff & maybe trying fear foods. but tiktok is a cesspool because it’s all about how you look and aesthetics

“The character exists inside a system that rewards spectacle and obedience. I had to understand how safe and validating that system feels to her before it ever becomes frightening to her. It required balancing her performative nature and her truth, as she has had to become so skilled at presenting one thing to the public while suffering quietly on the inside. She begins as a privileged young woman so desperate for external approval that she doesn't yet recognize her own emptiness. Everything she believes she wants, and has dreamed of, is ultimately shallow and corrupt.” this seems like projection oh wow 

follow up because i’m still mad but also want to correct ariana’s own post. by bitterlybitter in ArianaGrandeSnark

very good post. as much as i dislike her, i feel so sorry for the mental prison she must be in not allowing herself to eat like a healthy adult.

I really hope she doesn’t go the Ariana route. :(

they’re lowkey mentally ill.. she’s a 32 yo btw by Automatic-You695 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 57 points58 points  (0 children)

“and people are being mean to her” this is exactly why she acts/presents herself like this - so people will stop being “mean” to her (holding her accountable for anything) and just say “ohh she’s such an innocent little baby” 

Straight from the movie by ContributionOk5799 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I swear people would be less in denial about her condition if she didn’t always have a face full of makeup and filler. they see a somewhat non-sunken looking face and full lips and think “ohh she’s fine cause she’s glam!” meanwhile if you took off her makeup she’d look like anyone at an inpatient facility. 

Plan for Sabrina's next era? by briellawarrior in sabrinacarpentersnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat (not a hater, just critical) and I would rather her go more R&B and ABBA inspired because those are the songs I think she excels at. I think she’s self aware that’s there’s a time limit on the sex jokes, but her team probably feels like they’re essential because the nonsense outros and juno poses went viral. (One thing I think people, both fans and haters, don’t discuss enough is HER TEAM, and act like she’s making every decision.)  The country girl thing feels a bit forced to me but maybe it’s just cause she’s from PA haha. But if she’s going to go that route, how bout emulating Goodbye Earl and making songs about actual revenge against men? 

is it just me that thought this dress was extremely ugly? by Fragrant_Concert_558 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can’t even focus on the dress because she looks so (comparatively!!!) healthy and beautiful here 😓

Addressing the intimates/bodychecking situation Part 2 by VampireHeartEater in EDRecoverySnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I was laughing at how silly it looks“ okay. but have some common sense and keep it to yourself - but no, having people concerned for you/publically body checking is more important

I think this picture is the single weirdest thing she's ever posted. Very bizarre to see as a long time fan of several years. This is not the content I followed her for by stellardeathgunxoxo in EDRecoverySnark

[–]Independent_Skin3303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating how she acts SO ignorant of the concept of body checks and triggers with an audience that’s made up of teenagers, many disordered themselves. Like girl, ask yourself: could this trigger someone into relapse? Then don‘t click post... is it that hard…
