‘Influencer’ praised & derided for marketing herself as a lightskinned woman.

Hope they don’t try and put this on black men, as the audience that consumes that bullshyt is primarily cacs. She is appealing to the same cacs that pass around Dojacat.

We will get blamed because they can't really touch white men. So they'll go after us cause we were made the shadow self of white males.

I still don't understand this npc shyt

Same. I need one of these human robots to break it down for me

I'm surprised people are celebrating the use of colorism. This just mean that the way forward is to make everyone on these light-skinned then.

When money is your god, all manner of folly becomes possible.

This is already the case, which is why she did it. More people would be dragging her if she lightened her actual skin. But she uses a filter to get more views and more money. Is it her fault people perfect to see a lighter skinned woman? Or is the fault of the people who prefer to see a lighter skinned woman?

 

[Roid Jones]

She's heavy on that

It encourages more people to do it and sends the wrong message at the end of the day. Then again, we do live in an "do anything for money" society, I guess.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Who?

No one cares about stuff like this in real life lol

Old azz nikka assembly thread

 

[How Sway?]

Maybe she got a tan?

And who is this girl?

 

[feelosofer]

She looks a lot prettier in her original skin tone.

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

This is dumb.

 

[FishNGrits]

I can’t believe how caked up she is off this shyt. Like I’m legitimately impressed. Who knew there was a market for this…

It depends on what message you think is being received and by whom. If you think brown skinned women are receiving a message that their skin tone is inferior, I can understand your concern. However, I’m pretty certain that brown skinned women already know and understand that they won’t be as well received with their true skin tone on these type of platforms; so they may make less money and are less likely to appear on people’s algorithms.
So I guess the question is whether the dishonesty is worse than the colorism. I say if colorism didn’t exist this wouldn’t even be a conversation and she would present herself as she truly is instead of a 19 year old light skinned baddie.

And there’s a lot of worse ways to make money than pretending to be light skinned online. People pretend to be a whole lotta things for money and sometimes for no reason at all. Again, this wouldn’t be an issue if colorism didn’t exist.
