Absolutely blows me away that her YouTuber friends like Simone Giertz aren't the biggest masking advocates out there. doomer

meow-hug it may never get better but at least we have those of us who still care

and more importantly, mask

Wait, I haven't watched Simone Giertz in a while, she's not an advocate of masking up?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. She posts herself on insta going to like Taylor Swift concerts and shit. No masks.

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rather disappointing going to that from this.

Physics Girl is OK, but she's still a huge lib. Her last video before long COVID was doing propoganda for the US Navy. It was so terrible it got me to unsubscribe. Not that she deserves the hell she's in though.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I never got into her, only knew her from Giertz. But yeah, no one deserves this shit except the people that brought it upon us.

This is heartbreaking. Shared the link with my lib family members who are currently again sick and very much into doing the new normal. Unsurprisingly no comments/aknowledgement (none will watch this even for a minute).

Typical reddit-logo had to lock the r/videos thread. Barely any mention of masking and it's all like 5-10 people. That site is such a pit.

My frustration is with this YouTuber's fans. She's quite popular. When some post about her gains traction, all the comments are either 1) "oh I'm praying for you baby", or 2) "have you considered this random unproven/unhelpful medical treatment". And the whole time I'm screaming "can you guys mask so me and my family don't have to go through what she's going through??"

Oh yeah! But it's up and down the line for me, I can't decide what bugs me worse. PG's husband and friends aren't advocating for prevention, her fans aren't advocating for prevention, and even the randos in reddit aren't advocating for prevention. Just absolute submission to the Capitalists treating them as expendable. brainworms

Meanwhile, Herd Immunity is being taking out back behind a shed for 2 to the head. rage-cry

PG's husband and friends aren't advocating for prevention

Her family is just doing the social media thing to pay the bills. Agreed though, I wish more stepped up.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but not even like a, "be careful out there, don't let this happen to you." Nothing.🤬

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Not defending anybody, you're right they should advocate more. But coming from someone who does advocate all the time, it's fucking exhausted with all the shit one gets back from people. I'll often let obvious call outs at work since it's just gonna cause pointless drama.
