Shame needs to helps his wife find better filters. The Birds Papaya's filter glitches are stupid obvious. Watch this video on her stories and pay attention to the filter legs. The filter reminds me of the Aliens movie. Her tummy pops on and off.

Hello new Lemmy friends!
Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.
The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.
Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.
We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!

I wish this company would stop working with these people 🙄. I like their swimsuits and they look awesome on me but I’m starting to think twice. She probably got it for free too.
I feel this! I love their suits, I love that they are Canadian. But the influencer partnerships are killing me. The latest one with Briony 😖
I don’t know much about any of these swimsuit companies, but I do know that it is June and it is pride month and we just had Juneteenth so it might seem performative if they would’ve done this, but could they not have partnered with someone in the Black or LGBTQIA2S community as an artist? And it’s Indigenous History month too so like what the hell? Maybe these companies are becoming friends with these artists, but why would they not just feature a different artist and then maybe make it a little more diverse than a well off-white woman artist from Canada? Just thinking out loud.
This is such a good point that I hadn’t thought of. I’m going to email Londre about my disappointment that they partnered with yet another cis white (presumably straight) woman during June of all months. They absolutely should have partnered with someone from any of those communities for once.
I’m not really into swimsuit clothing that don’t cater to non-cis people, plus sized people or people requiring modest coverage. There are brands out there that offer longer suits, ones with more coverage for people needing modesty, and suits with accessible features etc. Of course, no clothing brand can do it all, (well, they can, but they choose not to because they’d rather collab with white and white presenting rich cis women). And like I said before, asking a member of the LGBTQIA2S community , or BIPOC artists to design patterns might seem performative, but pride month , Indigenous History Month and Juneteenth aren’t new. They (along with all clothing companies) should be pressured (by customers) to be reaching out now, for next year, and paying people accordingly. Seeing the suits on the same bodies and influencers all the time also doesn’t give anybody an opportunity to see what they would look like in the suits.
I wonder if it would make any difference if customers emailed them? Probably not.
