In recent weeks, you may have noticed that a specific type of TikTok is popping up more and more.The videos show a user who says they have worked with celebrities or served celebrities, and who now “writes down” their experiences.The videos are so popular that some are in the headlines right away, as in our mothership, BuzzFeed.com.
Take a recent TikTok, in which @_sincindy said you work on an airline.She gave Kendall Jenner a score of 2/10 because she “was nobody’s friend and walked arrogantly.”
Naturally, the comments are complete from other people who say they had their suspicions about a celebrity shown or that they were extremely happy to be informed that celebrities were friendly.
These videos had such an effect that some celebrities who were arrested felt compelled to respond. In July, Hailey Bieber tried to apologize after a host at a Nobu restaurant in New York called her “disgusting.” The host stated that she had met Bieber multiple times and had never had a positive interaction.
This new trend is exciting for me as a great customer of celebrity culture and gossip.He seems to read blind articles on lists A and B, but this time the fodder is blind!Someone seems on camera, like himself and on the record, for percentage of his non-public reports with a litany of well-known names.
It is refreshing and stimulating to have reached a point in our society where non-celebrity people are encouraged to speak brazenly and casually about their reports without worrying about retaliation.Of course, harassment is a weapon in the industry, and we have a long way to go.(Ellen, anyone?). But this new trend is a smart step to dismantle the strength of celebrity culture, while maintaining laughter and voyerism.
I contacted those who have had a lot of encounters with celebrities in their paintings and have done TikToks about them.Erica Smolcynski, 31, has painted in Restaurants in Los Angeles for more than six years.It first went viral last month for a video in which he called Reese Witherspoon “a real fucking angel” and Joel McHale “an idiot.”
(I also contacted the celebrities discussed in those TikToks.)
Erica told me that she chose those celebrities to communicate “randomly” and that she didn’t hesitate to speak so brazenly because she was just telling the truth.
“I’m not nervous about dating celebrities, yet I make sure I don’t say anything too unpleasant,” she said.”I don’t need to offend anyone, just give other people the facts.I think that’s why I’m able to get started.
Unlike blind object websites or dramatized story vlogs, Erica’s stories are pretty believable.She thinks it’s because she talks about it with humor and objectivity.
“Society needs to know if the celebrities they love are decent human beings, I understand,” he says.I’m an incredibly fair user in general, and I think it’s literally displayed while I make those videos.The feedback I get from TikTok users is that everything I say about those celebrities is very truthful.”
Above all, he says, he thinks we’re moving towards a more realistic belief in celebrities.
“I think society sees a fairer representation of the habit of some of those celebrities by making data come from other ‘normal’ people in TikTok,” he said.”We have nothing to lose, you know what I mean?leads content creators to give other people dirty data about celebrities without worrying about ramifications.”It’s a lovely thing!”
Erica also added that while her videos have had some impact, she hopes it “doesn’t ruin their careers here.” She doesn’t need to get into relationships with the celebrities you’ve talked about, but she’s glad to hear you if they need to touch them. .
“If Reese Witherspoon touched me and said, “Hey, your video about me was sweet,” I’d lose my poop a lot.Other than that, I hope they don’t touch me because I wouldn’t legitimately know what to do.Do.
I just need to say that it is rarely “good” for a user to be disconnected from force (especially during a heat wave).This maxim happens to others living in low-income areas, especially when infrastructure breaks down or breaks down.
However…
When I read the New York Times report that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti responded to the popular TikToker Bryce Hall and the big birthday party he hosted this weekend, a pandemic by cutting the force off his Hollywood Hills mansion, my first mind was: “K, well.”
I didn’t feel “good” that Bryce and his Sway House TikTok classmates, who live in space with him, had no electricity, but I felt their movements had had formal consequences.This is not the first, time or third time influencers have brazenly organized giant parties while coronavirus cases are highest in California, i.e. in the Los Angeles area.But this is the first time the city has imposed a “zero tolerance” reaction on them.Although this is the first offense, at least publicly, that Bryce has had to face, he and other popular TikTokers have been noticed at big parties in recent weeks.
Garcetti tweeted that he had allowed the city to cut the force for others who “brazenly violate our public aptitude orders,” and sends a transparent message: don’t gather a lot of other people in a confined area to a public fitness crisis where other people can contract and spread the coronavirus Don’t do that!
I have no idea of other punitive measures that city officials can take to check to avoid those parties and I think they could impose big fines instead.The challenge with this is that those TikTokers make a lot of money.It’s possible they’ll just pay without problems, for it and maybe release some other anger in a few weeks.Classes probably wouldn’t be learned and the most serious crisis wouldn’t be solved.
It is deeply regrettable that we have to take this excessive action to talk about the fact that these times are very serious and that we will all have to be guilty for helping.Other reasonable people don’t need to see a youth organization without electricity.energy in their homes. But if these other young people don’t follow orders, or perceive why they shouldn’t party, someone has to impose that limit.
Perhaps a more patient user who knows them generally (a parent?) You can just do the paintings and take the time to teach them, but it’s probably not me.
So far
