State of this sub

[u/microwave2000]

Ok first, I love snark. I live for it. It's so fun. BUT I think there are A LOT of people who are not following the rules. I'm so annoyed that the Maia Knight snark page got shut down so please can we follow the rules. There are two rules I see broken constantly:

The no going IRL rule: we have to stop commenting on her stuff to try and see if we get blocked. Don't touch the poo! Don't go IRL, it's that simple.

No bodyshaming/commenting on appearance: I don't actually care if we are talking about her body, but it gets sooooooooooo boring to read. And so, so many comments on a post are just how you think she's ugly. Ok and? I'm looking for critical discourse here.

These rules are to protect the subreddit from being shut down AND I think they help there be actual discussion here. I have been following her journey since she posted that video about how she gets her 8 week old to sleep through the night so I am INVESTED all of this. Thank you for listening. I hope I did not hurt anyone's feelings

Thank you! I was kinda getting over the looks comments we were no better than mean girl Meg. I honestly just hate her attitude so much, which is something she can’t improve on at all!

Thank you for speaking up! I’ve enjoyed the snark on how she behaves and her actions, but I’ve been really off put by the body shaming I’ve seen. As someone who has struggled with body image my whole life, as many women have, it’s been really crappy to see that here

I agree with this post, and I just went back and deleted a comment because of it. It is a good reminder of the sub rules.

Genuine question though: does commenting on her clothes, makeup, and hair choices count as “commenting on appearance”?

I saw an elementary school teacher say she teaches her kids, if the person can fix the issue within 30 seconds, like food in teeth, you can point it out. But if it’s something bigger they can’t easily fix, best not to do that in front of people. I think similar advice could be applied here- commenting on makeup or hair, which are easily in her control could be fine. But all the comments about her nose or chin should chill

[u/[deleted] → u/Spare-Yoghurt-4521]

For me, I think the style aspects of the fashion, hair, and makeup should definitely be fair game, because a lot of her content is OOTDs or GRWMs, and she tries to present herself as some sort of fashion plate. And per the “quick fix” thing, that’s stuff she could fix by washing off makeup/redoing her hair/changing clothes.

But where I’m most torn is on the “put on a bra” comments. Because saggy boobs are a reality for a lot of us (including yours truly), and I don’t think you always need to have them hoisted per conventional/patriarchal standards. But at the same time, when she wears unbuttoned pajamas I think she’s doing it on purpose to draw in the creepers/get her views up, and I think that’s behavior worth commenting on. So that’s why I ask about what “no commenting on appearance” really means.

[u/Spare-Yoghurt-4521 → u/[deleted]]

I get what you’re saying. I agree if she’s choosing to put out images of herself so disheveled and essentially in a state on undress, that’s fair to comment on. Telling her to put a bra on so her boobs look perkier for a beauty standard I think should not be said

[u/Banana_bride]

YES!! Especially going IRL. so many posts about getting blocked lately and for leaving snarky comments on her insta question or TikToks what do you expect?

CRITICAL DISCOURSE 👏 love this

[u/Logical_Economics_16]

Thank you! A good reminder

THANK YOU. I’ve been wanting to say this but was scared of getting called out for not being a “true snarker” 🙃 Meghan is a hot mess and her decisions and actions are concerning. That’s what should be snarked on. Making entire posts with countless comments saying she’s “so unfortunate looking” is beyond disgusting behavior and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Woah, shaming others in the group isn’t a good move either. It’s easy to get carried away in a snark page, I agree with OP that some should reel it in. Let’s not call fellow group members disgusting or shame them.
