Don’t ask to be a meme, people will get mean….
That is basically the moral of this story!
Hello and welcome back to IO – it’s been a while since I was last here and I am happy
to see you hot potatoes!
I am Rebecca Felgate – your host for the day and we are talking memes.
Before we crack into this video – I want to know what your favourite meme is?
I loved the first ever meme from the 1800s that we talked about in an old io video?
– Like – Share – Description box.
Okay – this is JoJo Siwa of Dance Moms – she tweeted a picture of herself saying that she
is ready to become a meme…she clearly doesn’t know that you cant choose the meme life…
the meme life must choose you.
Anyway, she tweeted this picture back in July, and the meme lords and witches have been brewing
something dank, as well as something poisonous.
Unfortunately, by opening herself up to be memed, the 15 year old now fronts some pretty
nasty stuff, including racist and homophobic memes that we aren’t going to repeat.
She even found herself fronting some white supremacist memes.
Even some of the nicest and cleanest of the memes were mean.
A particularly savage attack from a twitter user called Joaquin said do like your hairline
and recede… sharing pictures of her hair getting higher and tighter.
So far as we are aware, JoJo hasn’t responded to the meme nightmare, but the young star
does have a youtube channel with 7.2 million subscribers so perhaps she will respond there,
although we doubt it.
Has she learned her lesson never to provoke the internet, for it will bite?
The incident reflects something similar that happened to Stranger Things Star Milli Bobbie
Brown earlier this year, which lead to her closing comments on her Instagram and deleting
her twitter account.
Luckily JoJo hasn’t bowed into this kind of negative pressure, but how sad is it that
young stars are being exposed to this kind of nastiness?
They’re still kids, after all.
While JoJo hasn’t responded officially, she did reply to a tweet from fellow youtuber
Eva Gutowski who wrote: When someone hates on you but then you look at them and remember
you’re JoJo Siwa.
– JoJo wrote lol, love you.
Oh Jojo, she just wanted a bit of fun and the internet went at her.
Sad.
What do you guys think to this story – do you think it was unfair or do you think she
was asking for it when she put herself out there?
Let me know in the comments below.
Speaking of comments, we love hearing what you think here at IO so I thought I would
read some comments from one of Charlottes most recent videos!
This should be fun!
I watched the video about the man that was trying to sue McDonalds because he ordered
a tainted drink . Firstly I personally loved Charlottes dress
in this…so that’s my comment for her!
Erica Stones said – I love Charlotte’s comments dance!
I too like it!
Any excuse for a cheeky wiggle!
That one unfeatured person wrote: This is URGENT NEWS!
If you put ANY and I mean ANY song over Charlotte’s dances, if fits perfectly.
Change my mind.?
Wheeey.
Also.. now you need to change your name because you have been featured, my friend!
Alright, that is all we have.
Like share etc.
