Not in her case it doesn’t, people simply don’t like her and her puppet husband.

MLK was famous, so maybe he shouldn't have read his own words? :shrug:

Confidently comment on something they know nothing about and have never watched? Yep, sounds like tibb.

If only....

What I don't understand, and maybe you can help me out by explaining, if you don't like them that much, why read what others have to say about them? They're not world leaders or people of any consequence, so why?

If Johnson wasn't PM, I'd happily never see his name in print, or listen to anyone talk about him.

Maybe the people on social media obsessed with them will move on... maybe not.

I've answered this dozens of times....I have always had an interest in the Royals, going way back to Alfred. I'm on a forum where all the Henrys and Georges and Williams etc etc are discussed, along with the current lot. The only Royals that are of interest here in threads are Prince Harry and Meghan so here I am.

jet 10-01-2021 10:42 PM

What the hell is this "Archewell" about anyway? Preachy money making BS.

Harry "I am my mothers son" (shamelessly using Diana again, big pic of her)
Meghan "I am my son's mother".

No mention of fathers anywhere.

"Archewell focuses on non-profit activities"

Yep.

Their recent first podcast was embarrassingly awful and a huge fail by all accounts. No way are Spotify and Netflix going to pay them those big future bucks if this is an indication of what lies in store. Good grief.

Listened to it did you? What gave you the impression it was a failure, it's currently the 2nd most popular podcast show in the UK :conf:

Harry and Meghan are no longer royals, they are basically just celebrities at this point so it's weird to obsess over them. If you truly dislike them, look the other way, live your best life not acknowledging them, don't rile yourself up hating someone who doesn't know or care that you exist.

If they were world leaders, then sure, hate away, analyse their actions in that capacity but they're just celebrities. It's just so pointless to pop up ONLY when their names are brought up.

Tom4784 11-01-2021 02:55 AM

Usually the people we discuss in SD are world leaders and government officials, people with the power to affect the lives of many, it's not really comparable to a pair of celebrities.

As you would say, you are entitled to be wrong.
Harry was born a royal and will always be one. As long as they insist on keeping the royal titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex and using their royal status to line their pockets without doing the actual job that comes with the titles, people are entitled to criticize them and their many dubious and hypocritical actions.

...we all know the toxicity of social media, we mention it almost daily in many different topics and how there is very little if any positives with much of it, so it would follow that we would be supportive of any decision from anyone to step out of it...as Meghan and Harry appear to be doing...why should they pander to their abusers and their bullies...these threads that escalate so quickly in their negativity to the point that they’re more often closed down are just the very small tip of what social media is...so it’s not difficult to imagine why social media is so mentally unhealthy a place to be...they get it, their decisions and their very beings are disapproved of every day in every which way, they don’t need that print in front of them and to absorb other people’s negative and abusive/bullying keyboards...

jet 11-01-2021 04:57 AM

Harry and Meghan have the huge support of their fans - the Sugars - well known to be the most abusive and bullying fans currently on the internet. H&M have praised and thanked them. For all their talk about the evils of social media, they let THEM run rampant without saying a word.
There is a lot of overt and sly bullying going on in threads here, not just H&M ones either, coming from posters to other posters whose opinions or outlooks just happen to differ from their own. But then who cares about that, we aren't famous or influential, we are just people who are actually here, while those who they want to protect are not and will probably never lay eyes on a word written on SD.

Ammi 11-01-2021 05:09 AM

... ‘well known to be the most abusive and bullying fans currently on the internet.’ ...Would have to be quantified because I’m sure to many, that’s not well known at all...or that they’re running rampant on the internet while in some way being condoned by Meghan and Harry...and any ‘sly or overt bullying’ that might be happening in this thread or any other Meghan thread, does not appear to be from one side only, if that’s what’s happening...no one can really claim any higher ground...which is why the threads rarely remain open...

Sorry, my perfectly acceptable answer to your question was deleted for some reason and I'm not typing it all out again. Perhaps Niamh can explain why. :shrug:
