So now-a-days, you can't escape all the celebrity hate that swarming around social media, especially Twitter.
When I first joined social media, I was introduced to this idea of hate, and it didn't take long until i was constantly surrounded by it. People going out of their way to turn on someone's instagram notifications so they can be the first to leave a pathetic comment, following someone you don't even know or like on Twitter just so you can leave them a disgusting message.
Youtubers are one group of people that get a ridiculous amount of hate daily. Whether it is because wannabe zoellas are jealous of how successful they are, we will never know. Alfie Deyes, a vlogger that was being interviewed on ITVs 'This Morning' earlier on today, is one that's used to this thought. When asked how he dealt with it, he simply said he 'felt sorry for them'. As much as I'd like to have the strength and maturity to think only that about them, I can't.
At times, I do feel sorry for those people who go out of their way to attempt to make someone's life miserable. However I can't deny being furious with these people and replying to their messages totally owning them. Sometimes I hate the fact that I do that, the thought that I might fuel it, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
The reason this came to mind is the situation that happened a couple of days ago with Zoella. It was all over Twitter, but in case you missed it I'll fill you in. Zoe Sugg posted a picture of herself in bed saying 'night' to all of us on snapchat. At the bottom corner of the photo, you could see a bit of her Calvin Klein pants. According to The Sun newspaper, who wrote a hate article entirely on this photo, the fact that they were Calvin's was a HUGE deal and rather quite 'risqué'. They also comments on the fact she wasn't wearing a bra to bed. Seems like somebody's trying to pick on tiny, unimportant things to me...
So this was the photo that broke the internet. Millions of her followers stood with Zoe in this body positivity fight back by posting a photo of themselves in their underwear with the hashtag #westandwithzoe . This also included some....shall we say comical photos?? This fight back resulted in the paper saying it was just a joke...yeah okay Sun, it totally looked like a joke...
What's your opinion on this situation and celebrity hate as a whole??
