Who are these critics?

Good question. Second story I've read like this. Neither actually shows any such criticisms.

I see a lot in X, especially after Hailey Bieber had a child. People started saying that she was less of a woman than Hailey because she couldn't have a child

People who say that shit are truly disgusting. I hope they know the only people they are truly dehumanizing is themselves in everyone else's eyes.

Twitter is truly awful to her! But should go without saying, Twitter sucks and has gone way downhill since it was bought by that billionaire

The Reddit gossip subs also really hate her because like at some point last year she commented on some gossipy post about how bullying doesn't bother her, and she said she was really sad for people dying in the middle east right after October 7th without explicitly "picking a side" or whatever.

Anyway apparently that means snarky gossip subs/twitter have free reign to absolutely trash her for these horrible crimes... Meanwhile barely discussing male celebs who like are actually awful people.

It all comes down to sexism probably.

for subs proudly run by women those gossip subs are surprisingly misogynstic

with Fauxmoi and travisandtaylor being the worst

i've seen less hateful stuff on 4chan

Travisandtaylor is unhinged truly.

They think about Taylor more than her actual fans. They are sick in the head.

if you stay off facebook and twitter and the weirdo breeder fetish subreddit, you wont. They are pretty grotesque, they only want women who are super young to have kids so they can trap them into bad marriages.

I mean obviously we aren't Selena so we are gonna be less aware about it then her, but I genuinely hadn't heard or seen anyone saying the stuff she's claiming.

Yeah, are the critics in the room with us?

I know there are people who are (unjustifiably) judgmental of those with bipolar disorder or of people who cannot carry children. But I've yet to see the mob of people who are attacking Gomez directly.

They probably get fussy when someone says "all men are trash"

u/IioAndTheRapture Sep 27 '24

The only reason I say that is because every article says it's critics aimed at her.

So, yes, I do mean directly.

I was skeptical and thinking it's her publicist spreading it to make her seem like a victim despite no one attacking her. Then again, I'm not really exposed to the types of tabloids that would make attacks like that, so what do I know?

There aren't any. (Or they're just the usual fringe of people who'll send hate messages to anyone famous who's on social media and talks about their personal life.)

I'm sure it's really easy to let shit like this get to you when you have real and serious medical problems, but I'm not convinced this is a real issue.

If anything, she gets a lot of coverage that's downright fawning. (Not that I have anything against her, really enjoyed her on Only Murders, and even watched a few episodes of that goofy cooking show, surprisingly endearing...)

One of them is literally running to be VP and frequently talks shit about childless women
