    You know that it’s like super creepy to refer to Margot Robie as “just a hot celebrity”?

    And hobby? What the hell do you think this is? It isn’t a damn job. Lemmy is recreational. Vanity accounts are fun and appropriate.

      The point was that it’s lazy, uninspired and just not funny. I guess the standards for humor/novelty are very low around here.

      Like they’re not even creating anything, its not parody or satire or anything. They just made their username Margot Robbie and pretend to be her. Sometimes. And people just fawn over it.

      Frankly, if I were her, that kind of shit would seriously weird me out.

      Bunch of parasocial weirdos.

        I think there are two concepts that are still eluding you.

        One, Margot Robie is larger than a person, not smaller. She’s not just some pretty women. She’s shorthand for a very complex collection of aesthetics, politics, and voices. She’s an idea, she’s an answer. Using her name is meant more to be evocative rather than convincing.

        Two, we’re all just farting around here, man. We’re sharing star trek memes and complaining about opening noisy food packaging in the middle of the night. Of course it’s lazy? No one is trying to construct the Sistine Chapel.

        If every place you go you’re confronted with disappointment, maybe you’re in the wrong place?
