Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
by the inherent nature of the content bethany is putting out, she's going to attract an audience that is younger and less inclined to egg her on to put out drama. I see what you mean though, but they're still serving two entirely different audiences

oh LOL i said that about bethany cause megan stirred up some drama w/ her when they were both equally popular. megan since then has gone on a downward spiral and meanwhile, bethany is gaining subscribers like crazy

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
fortunately, i'm not white.
it's racist. it implies that it's expected of non-whites to speak "improperly". it's also racist because she brought up megan's race. if she meant that it was unexpected of a upper middle class teenager to speak improperly, she would have brought up class rather than race. duh.

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
It's a stereotype. Cinderella thinks Caucasian American girls should generally be more intelligent in the way they speak or portray themselves, she never said she doesn't expect different from anyone else who isn't white because it's just a general statement. Some other people believe individuals of Asian decent are supposed to be smarter, especially if they were schooled in their native country. It's a general stereotype that African males have larger penises than other males of a different race. Latino/Latina women are often portrayed as loud in the media. People with blonde hair are supposed to be dumb. Native Americans are constantly associated with owning casinos. Arabs and Muslims are branded as terrorists.super hater wrote:fortunately, i'm not white.

Simply bringing someone's ethnicity doesn't make anything automatically racist. If I said "Oh, I was having a conversation with my friend Allison earlier. She's African American and very nice." Does that make it racist? No, because it's just a fact and there is nothing racist about it. If Cinderella said something alone the lines of "I assumed that a white American girl would speak intelligibly, they are supposed to be the smartest after all." That would be racist. It's general knowledge that America is very focused on education and over 80% of Caucasian Americans graduate high school. Therefore is understandable why people have that stereotype. Duh.

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
I have lurked this board for a while with no intentions of making an account. I just saw this comment and had to respond. This is a very silly thing to say. Of course that is a racist thing to say, all racial stereotypes are pretty much racist.Goat wrote:It's a stereotype.

"She's white I thought she would talk proper" Is implying other races do not talk proper. You don't have to specifically say things in order to convey them. Language has this wonderful thing called implication, meaning you can saying things through the words you don't say.
Facepalm.It's general knowledge that America is very focused on education and over 80% of Caucasian Americans graduate high school. Therefore is understandable why people have that stereotype. Duh

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
no its not. its a racial stereotype technically because its plausibly deniable that they are saying that other races arent going to speak intelligently.
it was very rude though.
and are they probably racist? im gonna go with yes.
this is all by technical terms though.

Yes and that is racist.
Most racial stereotypes are racist to begin with, especially the ones that project the idea that certain races are more intelligent than others.
None of you would ever say that statement in public, so I'll just leave it at that.

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
I agree. I believe she wears a size 4 which is perfect. Women are supposed to have fat. I'm also a size 4 so i'm trying not to be offended but really. we're not fat.Astrocam89 wrote:I have boobs. So you're saying that having boobs is a bad thing because they're made of fat? Yeah I know some girls show off their cleavage quite disgustingly. I don't. But seriously. How does wearing a low cut shirt mean that she believes she is better than everyone else cause she isn't flat?CINDERELLA wrote:I HAD to get this off my chest. Oh my goshhhhhh!!!!! !@#$%^&
I was just watching like 30 secs of her fall clothing video.
Keep in mind, I've been watching her videos for like years now.
She has always been such a sloppy speaker!! The way she speaks is so messy. It ticks me off like crazy. I assumed that a white American girl would speak intelligibly. I do not mean to be racist in ANY WAY, okay?! I guess not.
ALSO. The way she dresses. How she never fails to wear low cut shirts is so annoying and disgusting. She thinks she's better than other girls because she isn't flat. Well guess what, boobs are made of fat, and well, seeing as how she isn't skinny, that sure is no surprise that she has a lot more fat there.
Even if she isn't wearing a low cut shirt, she wears an off the shoulder shirt. Gotta show some flesh in some way, you know?
ALSO. She thinks she's so mature and wise but honestly LMAO she is not. She always has to be on guard in her videos. It's so annoying.
FINALLY, last but not least, can she please stop looking at the view finder? She is nowhere near pretty to be constantly staring at herself. It's so annoying to the viewer to watch a youtuber staring at their fricken self instead of directly at the camera.
"She isn't skinny"? Pretty sure she is quite skinny. Maybe not like a stick, but she has a nice body and she definitely isn't fat.
These comments were quite mean.

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
Oh god I HATE people who always declare "copying". Copying is what makes the world go around! Imagine if the cave man who invented the wheel got all worked up about copying... we wouldn't have any cars. I prefer to call it inspiration and it's what makes the universe continue to develop.IMO wrote:I think it's kinda silly to say a guru is "copying you" 1. It just sounds kindergartenish 2. They all do the same videos pretty much. Besides its kinda complementing when someone want to copy you anyway so I think it was pretty silly of Megan to complain about it. I did however notice a couple moths ago Megan put up that video with her extensions in doing that 2 looks with the side braid. And then Bethany did the same side braid in her back to school hair tutorials video. I thought "she got that from Megan".gossiplover07 wrote:She thinks that Bethany is copying her but seriously, her videos are OH SO BORING but Bethany's are like well-edited and fun. I mean like you can't even relate to this two videos. P.S. Yes, I'm a fan of macbarbie.
Megan doesn't necessarily do one thing that gets me I just think maybe her and Blair Fowler are kinda having the same issue that they have tried too hard and gotten this "perfect image" they have wanted to portray to everyone being the "perfect role model" and now that they want to be themselves were kinda learning who that is all over again. (if that makes sense)
However, I totally get why some girls get offended with the things Megan does. Like the purse accident and seeing her and Molly acting "catty" together. I think she does have some maturing to do. And she ( again like Blair) has worked to put this perfect role model image up that she has become a bit unrelatable to a lot of her older subscribers.
& like everyone's said she's gotta stop focusing on the negative. I know I've before taken the time to write really nice comments to her (long thoughtful time consuming comments) and then someone next to me wrote a few word negative comment and all she would choose to reply to is the negative ones ofcourse. Which ofcourse got me down. So she's gotta ignore the negative cus sweet subscribers are getting turned away from it.

Re: things megan has done that ticks you off to this day
TO THE RACIST/NOT RACIST DEBATERS.
Guys, look, I do have some experience here. There is no such thing as racism against white people, and I'll explain why.
Racism is prejudice + power. Racism is built into our institutions, our media, and out subconsciouses. Since our society gives most of the privilege to white people, that means you cannot be racist against them.
You CAN, however, be prejudiced on an individual level. Super Hater is being prejudiced by stereotyping all whites.
Okay? Okay. Now you guys CAN ALL FUCKING DROP IT, A'IGHT?
