Florida Resident Disney Vloggers on YouTube

When I was young, there was the beginning of “snark culture”, and while I’m not proud to say I participated when I was young and less sensitive to others, it was way toned down. I would grab the weekly tabloids and couldn’t wait to squeal to my cousins “Oh my gawd, what did Keri Russell do to her hair, what was she even thinking?!” Later it moved online to sites like Television Without Pity.

Somewhere along the way this stuff took one heck of a dark turn. For one thing, my understanding (I can’t frequent these sites because I get too weirded out) is that a lot of it is viciously misogynistic. Body shaming, tearing apart how women look, mom shaming, and so on.

For another, the level of obsession on places like that seems to be next level unhealthy. Like it breeds an absolute, hate driven fixation on these people they’ve never met in their lives. I mean I sort of lean towards Buddhism (or Western Buddhism-lite, I guess) and agree with the idea that you should cultivate positive states of mind. Absolutely fixating on internally generating endless hatred towards innocent people is psychologically terrible. And not being able to focus on anything but the people they spew vitriol at - again, I’d go so far as to say that’s psychologically damaging.
Where you were relatively young…the internet started. Not a coincidence

There is nothing wrong with civilized criticism of vloggers/influencers-there are some Disney vloggers that I have criticisms of and do not like, because of their content, who/what they show from their daily lives, and any hypocrisy that they have displayed. But, that criticism should never reach the level that it does on that site-it goes way over the line on there. Criticism and calling out these vloggers on their content can be done in a civilized manner while throwing some humor and any warranted praise in there, too-the Florida Resident Edits channel on YouTube is an example of this. Does the FRE channel mock some of these vloggers? Maybe, in a way, but never in a vicious, bullying way, and most of it is warranted, imo. These people should not be immune to criticism-no one should-but they should be immune to extreme levels of criticism to the point where it becomes abusive.


We no longer live in a civilized world but you can expand Disney bloggers to just about anyone speaking out about something.
