[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Scarrymommy, Amanda Gorman and Glennon Doyle all role models who believe in treating others with dignity follow her. Unfollow or be complicit. By staying followers they are saying it's OK to tell someone to go kill herself. [/quote]

Or they believe people can change and have no problem with who Chrissy is now. A person in their 20s doesn’t make them the same person in their 30s. [/quote]

Please. [b]People only say this when it involves someone they like. [/b]This attitude doesn't extend to people they don't like, such as Brett Kavanaugh. People like her despite her heinous bullying past and they aren't going to give her up.[/quote]

This is always true. But it's especially true these days because people will collect these bona fides that make them avatars for a certain kind of fan, and it's really hard for someone to turn on a celebrity they've decided is their second self. The reason I'm confident Teigan will make a comeback is that in the past few years, she has talked a lot about issues like infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, online bullying (ironically), body image, and other things that young and middle age UMC white women have strong feelings about. Women in this demo like the idea of identifying with Teigan. She's rich and beautiful, so if she has some of your same problems, it makes you feel better about those problems.

Those same women don't identify with Stodden, or Wallis, for instance. They might be sympathetic to those people, but they don't personally identify with them, and also don't really want to. They want to identify with the hot model with the hot husband who lives in the gorgeous house and hangs out with the Obamas! Obviously.

Anyway, this kind of sums it up: https://slate.com/culture/2021/05/chrissy-teigen-courtney-stodden-twitter-apology-explained.html[/quote]

It’s this all day long - your explanation of it - and it bothers me so much. I personally am not a fandom kind of person at all, and never have been. I don’t understand and find pathetic adult women who are true fans, go to the book signings, of a Chrissy Teagan. It’s just lame. But those are the women who are the fans, and companies presume their economic power is enormous, so her deals will quietly come back if she can STFU for another season or so. [/quote]

Who has a history of digging themselves into a deep hole like this and then bouncing back? I can think of maybe a few men but not many women who have rebounded. And the men have histories of substance abuse, not online bullying.[/quote]
