Can we just round these people up and give them their own island to keep them out of society?

Excuse me, miss, "Your childish need for attention, feelings of inadequacy, and mommy/daddy issues are hanging out."

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 80 points 10 months ago

Who wants bodypaint all over the gear?

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 75 points 10 months ago

Terribly unhygienic, and she doesn't seem the kind of gymgoers that wipes the equipment when she's done either.

[–] Gazumi@lemmy.world 59 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The entire scientific community facepalms at this being described as an experiment.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

"Experiment" in this case only means "how many views and thirsty comments can I get?"

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Remember kids the difference between science and fucking around is writing it down.

And she ain't writing anything down...

[–] Ech@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I mean...recording it is a form of record keeping...

[–] drphungky@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Can we not post rage bait articles and commentary on clickbait actions and contribute to endless cycle of takes on takes from people who don't matter? Or can we at least not do it in the news community?

What a moronic story to waste time thinking about.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I see "Internet slams her" in a headline, I ignore it

Fuckin gash "journalism"

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We need a link to the video so we can just judge for our selves.

[–] vamp07@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Heaven forbid you are trusted to make up your own mind. We’re not qualified.

[–] Encode1307@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Who are these idiots upvoting this shit?

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What a surprise, she's a streamer on Kick.

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

What’s the difference between kick streamers and twitch streamers?

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As I understand it, there are a number of factors to Kick's reputation. But this is my perception so bits might be wrong.

Kick as a platform promotes gambling whether the streamers want to or not, and is known for negative attention is still attention style advertising (banned twitch steamers that now are on kick showing up at events sponsored by twitch, and making a fuss before and after being kicked out) And the majority of Kick streamers appear to have questionable social moral judgement, extreme right-wing political views, or were kicked off Twitch for persistent or gross breach of acceptable conduct.

It was intended as an alternative to Twitch, but rapidly gained a reputation as being the place where shady streamers go.

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, it was always intended as a gambling platform. They are running at an ENORMOUS operating loss, that gets covered by Stake, a gambling website.

The entire business model hinges on driving traffic to Stake. Only more recently did they start pretending like they're not just doing gambling, but whether it's a sincere attempt to pivot or just a distraction... Well I've got opinions.

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

See. I knew I was missing details. This makes it so much worse.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

You go to kick when they kick you out of twitch.

[–] Haquer@lemmy.today 8 points 10 months ago

Gambling, mostly.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People demand attention so much nowadays. It is unfortunate.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Naw we've always striven for attention, we're a communal species and need some sort of validation, it's the internet that has forced us to go ever farther and preform more outrageous antics.

[–] Aussiemandeus@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

I enjoy how he says also you can't video tape others and the video ends

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 9 points 10 months ago

It looks like she's wearing underwear that is painted over. Would they have yelled at her were she not painted?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

This trend of women going to the gym to start shit with guys really needs to stop. This particular woman decided to escalate it further by also being unhygienic.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

She’s wearing normal bikini bottoms and a sports bra, so while weird, questionable, and probably a bad idea for clicks, I don’t see the unhygienic part of it if she’s wiping down equipment like anyone else. But that’s just me, living among people in bikinis. Having a camera crew seems more objectionable and intrusive.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The article is ad-riddled clickbait BS. Any article that uses "slammed" as slang in the title is not worth reading. The woman is a standard attention craving influencer doing something unhygienic and acting shocked when people complain. There's nothing to discuss here.

Also, as a performer myself, body paint melts off with sweat and gets fucking everywhere

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I guess paint is technically, "covered." I still think it’s super rude to try and get a reaction out of people and filming it, especially in a gym.
