As someone who loves snarking on both TBP & alicia, I was very VERY put off by the holier than thou attitudes in the alicia sub after birdies got shut down about the levels of snark. “Oh that’s why we have the rules that we have” you are not better than any of us, k thanks! There are still plenty of comments daily on that sub that teeter the line of being fatphobia, let’s not act above it all. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest & I’m glad to be here. ❤️

    I was just thinking about that earlier today, after reading through comment after comment attacking her appearance. They don’t even flirt with fatphobia, they openly practice it and say horrible things about her appearance constantly including:

    Big forehead, big chin, meaty fists, frizzy hair, sweat slick around her legs, needs to wear absorbent underwear on her head, foul, doesn’t wash, thin, stringy hair, parched, still nothing special, Jay Leno wants his chin back, comments about overeating, she’s a feral beastie…it goes on and on.

    I see much worse “bullying” there on a daily basis than I ever saw on TBP snark, so not sure where their attitude is coming from. I stopped participating in that sub because it was mostly all about insulting her looks and not about what makes her problematic.

      Exactly! Alicia is an asshole. She’s a mean, vindictive bully. I’d bet she always has been. There is plenty to be critical of besides her appearance.

      Ya like how she constantly is editing herself to be smaller & causing body dysmorphia since she doesn’t disclose her true clothing size but the comments going on about how repulsive they find her are just…😬😬😬 I have no words.

      Definitely agree with this. There are some good conversations on there but most of it is just garbage gossip. They are no better than any other snark sub. Snarking is snarking.

      This is how I feel with many other snark subs. I’ve always felt ours was by far the tamest snark I have personally seen, because the majority of the posts that did touch on appearance were moreso observations about the editing and the difference in her real appearance vs what she posted
