You know that it’s like super creepy to impersonate a celebrity like that. Get a hobby.
Edit: And here I thought Lemmy was different. But nope, thoughtless novelty accounts already being deified. This shit isn’t even clever, it’s just a “hot celebrity’s” name. Wow.
Lazy, uninspired, and just not funny. There’s nothing creative or interesting in making your username “Margot Robbie” and having people fawn all over you. It’s probably a middle aged dude.
I guess I’m the only one who finds that creepy. I imagine Margot herself probably would too.
But go ahead and validate some weird fucking dude cosplaying as a celebrity (who, remember, is a real actual person).
Yes, nothing sates boredom like *checks notes* seeing a (likely) middle aged man cosplay as a celebrity on lemmy. You know, a real person. Not a character.
Can you people really not see how fucking creepy that is?
How is this shit clever or funny or novel in any way? It’s not even an attempt at parody or satire.
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.
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?
As someone who was as reddit since long before the digg migration, and remembers how it was like. And how lemmy reminds me a bit of it… Forgive me for trying to avoid this place turning into that shit fest. I saw it happen in real time, and it starts with awful shit like this.
Nothing wrong with a clever novelty account, but fruit is the lowest of the low hanging. Not to get too serious, It brings the entire discourse down. Obviously, I see the comment scores, and I know most of the people here seem to disagree, but I’ve seen this happen. More than once. And they started with good novelty accounts. This shit is insulting to people’s intelligence.
I thought people here were more intelligent and high brow than to find “hurr durr, their username is Margot Robbie, and that’s really funny because she’s a really famous woman known for her looks, not the technical abilities most people on lemmy have! Hahahahaha” just… What? Lazy and boring. Not even hacky because it’s not even comedy.
Just do better, that’s all.
Bring the downvotes. Make sure you validate 43 year old Frank, from Boseman, Montana, for being smart and clever enough to come up with such a brilliant idea. I mean, to make your username THAT? Just inspired…
My man, it’s just a username. The comments section of a frankly niche social network are not the portents of the apocalypse.
Also, you roll around insulting people, calling them creepy and lazy, telling them to “do better”. What is it that you bring to the table? Disproportionate outrage? Negativity? “Bring on the down votes” sounds more like vintage bad-times reddit than anything this Margot Robie user has done.
Nah, just pointing out the creepiness of it that’s all. The creepiness, and just the lack of creativity involved. This is the kind of shit that makes the internet look bad and creepy to normal people.
Honestly, as creepy as “impersonating” a celebrity is, I don’t even completely blame that particular person. It may not have even have been their intention for it to get like this.
The stranger part about it all, to me, is the reaction they get when posting literally anything. That’s kind of what skives me out I guess. I’ve seen them posting all over the place, and it’s just weird to see people grovel to an account simply because the username is the name of a celebrity. And they want to believe.
Lots of people think it’s really her, and I’ve seen some weird shit… I dunno man, just doesn’t add anything of value imo, so I felt like pointing it out at the time.
Lemme, like the rest of the internet, is pretty ass. There’s not much that can be done at this point. I try to step back and just view it as a way to understand human nature when given total freedom and anonymity

Parasocial weirdos.
People like you don’t make the world better, just more boring for everyone

Maybe BBS will be sufficiently boring for you.

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.
