[Discussion] Unable to enjoy a creators content due to their boyfriend??? Need recommendations.
Not sure if I can name this person, so sorry for being vague, but I can’t sleep (how ironic) and it’s on my mind every time they come on my feed. If this breaks the rules, sorry, please redirect me where to post on another sub.
I can’t deny this creator’s videos are well done, but seeing her boyfriend’s content (whom she frequently posts on her page and reposts his content) made me grimace. It’s basically another one of those pseudo-‘influencers’ selling courses on how to make thousands in dropshipping, tiktok shop, etc. and boasting about having money. Shit feels crypto-adjacent which always rubs me the wrong way. Not to mention, his reposts are full of random conspiracy junk, anti-lgbt/trans sentiments, all sorts of weird nasty shit. He made several CK apologist videos. When tagged in the comments, the creator said she “absolutely hates politics” and doesn’t align with either side… which I felt was such a privileged response when your boyfriend is out here publicly politicizing both your identities (in a BAD way) and majority comments are celebrating the both of you being MAGA.
If anyone has recommendations for creators who are LGBTQ/POC friendly, please give them to me, especially if they do weird or unconventional ASMR. I already feel sad over the metaphorical loss of Angelica and despite being an OG fan of Karuna, I can’t enjoy her content anymore either for reasons everyone knows by now. :/
I get this stuff might not matter to other people but what political sentiments someone has or closely associates with WILL emotionally contaminate my ability to enjoy their content. And I’m just tired of the ‘girl with bigot boyfriend’ trope. Like, what the actual fuck?
