They’re playing Pokémon Go - how fun for them! Is this how they’re going to occupy their time instead of interacting with their pre-schooler while they’re at the park?

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!

She just posted that’s it’s become “her life”, she’s been back for one day, downloaded this game and now it’s her life jfc. She really does make every single thing her personality. She’ll forget about it in a matter of weeks just like everything else.
What a busy career gal she is.
Remember when she cos-played CEO Girl Boss with and office and a team. 😂 All Sarah has ever done is take her clothing off and take other peoples words and ideas. Now she's trying to force Shame on her followers. It Pokemon trainer Shame's new career?
I still can’t believe she had an office and a team, I can’t help but wonder what happened to the team? Did they all jump ship?? Remember when she even had a job posting, I feel like she never filled that (Shane took the part lol).
It might be both of their new careers when her Instagram keeps going down the drain 😂
Remember when she blamed her plagiarism on her managing editor who graduated from McMaster University? Good times.
She’s the worst. And she never faced it head on like she said she would 🙄
Oh, I remember!
Crazy how she’s never addressed this! Or did we miss something?
Exactly! The team and her talking about the pressure of being responsible for the livelihood of all those families has just evaporated. Is there still a team? Did she ever hire that assistant last year? What’s going on? Has she replaced the team with Shane and Nana K? Keep the cash in the family?
The cash is staying in the family and there's not exactly a lot to do. The team was for show in Sarah's boss babe era.
The song and dance to attract the crowd.
I think she forgot about it tbh. The fact she made a post about it and said she was looking for someone and then legit never talked about it again. I don’t think we missed anything.
Meanwhile this app has been around for years! Lol
Yeah, here's Sarah jumping on a long gone trend. Such an influencer.
Right? I figured people were past Pokémon go by now but nope not Sarah, it’s her life now 8 years late lol.
In my neighbourhood I walk past groups of people generally at the same time weekly that are having Pokemon Go meetups. I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it either. And the only way I know that is what it is, is because they are all on their phones in a largeish group talking about the characters.
It has to be at least ten years old.
Next up she’s going to discover Geocaching.
I know nothing of this lady. But I was out for lunch the other day. And this blonde chick that looked similar to this lady. Would. Not. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Honestly. I me and my friend were so infatuated/disturbed we couldn’t focus on anything else.
She was going on and on about how someone was claiming she isn’t a good mother. Cause her son almost killed himself with a knife she apparently had out in the house. And apparently there are guns around also. And drugs. Oh and…..
It was fucking painful. I wanted to stand up and just shake the shit out of her till she “woke” up lol
