74. "nah fam..."
In response to In response to 62


          

whats funny is now we have reality celebs making money being hoes and horrible people on TV and fans now use slut shaming to let them be as awful as they need to be to stay in the lites.


these people aren't role models they just have cameras on them 24 hours a day.

role model: A person who serves as an example of the values, attitudes, and behaviors associated with a role.


you don't have to be any of those things and can still have people look up to you JUST because you are on TV.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
