[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Middle age white women is not her fan base.[/quote]

Who is her fan base? [/quote]

Middle aged women, mostly white, mostly moms. 30ish and up. Shoppers, gossip lovers, and online obsessively. That’s not a cool, young, POC or male crowd, gimme an effing break.[/quote]

Presumably that describes a lot of the DCUM crowd, but curiously there's a lot more hate than love for Chrissy in this thread. So maybe that doesn't quite describe her fan base and something is missing.[/quote]
