The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.
She claims to be “body positive” which is a movement that encourages inclusivity of all shapes and sizes. But one of the things we are most outraged about is her use of face and body slimming filters. Often you can see the filters glitch. And she appears very very different in other peoples images of her. Her nose changes more often than my teenage daughter’s moods.
She is a contradiction. Her behavior underscores unhealthy body issues, not body positivity. So it fucjs with women/people who are working on self acceptance.
We definitely understand we’re not for everyone! I think this community shows up on the main feed more as Lemmy is less active than Reddit. On Reddit we had 6K members but that’s not that much for Reddit.
OoTL: who is this?
I too was OotL. From the channel sidebar:

Oh okay. TLDR: you don’t want to know, hah.

Oh I was just playing. Your community is fine. I was making fun of the fact that you really didn’t want to know who she is.
Haha, fair enough! It’s one of those things you wish you never learned 😅.
