The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Nah, just pointing out the creepiness of it that's all. The creepiness, and just the lack of creativity involved. This is the kind of shit that makes the internet look bad and creepy to normal people.

Honestly, as creepy as "impersonating" a celebrity is,, I don't even completely blame that particular person. It may not have even have been their intention for it to get like this.

The stranger part about it all, to me, is the reaction they get when posting literally anything. That's kind of what skives me out I guess. I've seen them posting all over the place, and it's just weird to see people grovel to an account simply because the username is the name of a celebrity. And they want to believe.

Lots of people think it's really her, and I've seen some weird shit... I dunno man, just doesn't add anything of value imo, so I felt like pointing it out at the time.
