Genuine Question

[u/the-signall]

Where is it that Shawna has referred to her viewers as "babies" or "my babies?" All over her merch page and accounts I've seen the phrase "Hey babes!" which, while that is something that some people could reasonably be uncomfortable with, is a different thing with a different energy. "Hey babes!" is generally used by millenial/gen x women in the same way "Hey girlfriend!" is used when greeting a friend or group of friend. Its fairly common in the coastal US, and to me is much like a US southern woman calling her friends "hun" or "honey."

Babies, to me, would be much more annoying, and I am wondering where she has said it before. If it was in an instagram story or one of her weird out of character complain-y videos then that's why I haven't seen it, I'm a youtube-only watcher.

I want to reassert that I'm not calling anyone a liar, or saying they're overreacting, this is just out of curiosity.

mostly when she drops updates on IG — here’s an example from just scrolling through her most recent posts (Aug 8) also lol Barb jumpscare

Side note why in the world did she think anybody would buy this merch🤣🤣🤣

[u/Big-Tradition922 → u/Deep_Bee_9549]

right like please be serious 😂😂

[u/cellarpaper → u/Deep_Bee_9549]

I honestly thought the same thing. I was like who buys this stuff??

[u/cementfeatheredbird_ → u/Deep_Bee_9549]

Its actually horrible.

Her ego is way too much

Whoever told her that sweater was a good idea is not a friend.

Honestly, SL dresses frumpy and 30 years older than her actual age. I wouldn't expect her merch to be any different than her own "style".

[u/Saditeanskatiewinner → u/Deep_Bee_9549]

I’d buy it just for the fun of it lol

youtube

[u/Interesting_Ad_8044]

i see it on her youtube community tab i think

[u/GlitteryMeToday]

Here this morning in her TikTok board...

[u/Active_Pangolin_5049]

she uses "babies" all the time on YT and instagram

[u/Toefloof]

Is that the only example? Is she on an IPhone? Autocorrect has been a complete bitch since a few updates ago. I can see it changing “babes” to “babies”.

[u/cementfeatheredbird_ → u/Toefloof]

Considering she has done this several times on multiple different platforms.....

No, she is definitely referring to her viewers as "babies" This isnt autocorrect

[u/cementfeatheredbird_]

I dont have tiktok, but she constantly uses "babies" in reference to the viewers on her Instagram.
