On another topic, what kind of complete nonsense is that comment section?

It reads like if my phone's autocomplete decided to go haywire one day and start spitting out random associated phrases: "Pablo Escobar... Colombian Drug Lord... District of Columbia...hungry hungry hippo..."

I don't even know which is worse, that these are all bots, or there are actually multiple people who thinks posting these in public is a good idea.

Pablo Escobar lived in Columbia and owned hippos.

Just because you don't get a joke doesn't mean it was written by a bot, you goon.

edit - I just realized that I called esteemed character performer Margot Robbie a goon. Many apologies. I respect your dedication to the craft.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

I get all the references, but making a chain of references without any jokes isn't exactly funny.

Meta comedy is overused to the degree that it is difficult to do it well.

Not all of us are blessed with the incredible talent of the writers of the nine-time Golden Globe-nominated motion picture Barbie, two-time Critic's Choice Movie Award-winning actor Margot Robbie.

I think it looks like AI bots talking to each other.

Doesn't it feel weird that people feel guilty when being mean to you only because you are famous? You probably also have more anominous accounts so I wonder, how different does the internet feel as Margot Robbie and Jane Doe?

No, because there are plenty more people in life who won't feel guilty about being mean to you at all. It's more stressful in the days knowing a Twitter mob is ready to "slam" you for every little thing you say or do in life 24/7.

Besides, it's not like anything I say here can be tied back to me anyways. Why do you think I refuse to get verified?

Ugh... That Letterboxd account...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. On one hand, I totally don't believe you're the real Margot Robbie, so you do have plausable deniability, but if anyone gains access to your server either being the owner of it, hacking it, or having a warrant, it might be trivial to connect you to your account with your IP if you aren't using a VPN or Tor. Not that you'd likely be in that situation, but it is good to be aware of.

Really understandable. Haters will always be a louder minority and when you have 9 positive comments and a single negative one, the negative one will stick out.

That is probably the smart move. I have a unbsession with celebrities and such and when I hear people obsessing over every single detail of their lives, I feel sorry for the celebrities. If a single mishap gets blown up and reported of my life, I don't think I would handle. It feels like people enjoy the story of the mental degradation of celebrity X. It is disheartening.

That Letterboxd account I wasn't aware of this and it is one of those things where I don't want to click the articles explaing it. I personally have ADHD and if I was watched like that 24/7, I would slip up. Furthermore, all my social media accounts use the same name so it can easily be tracked, luckily no one cares.

Any how, good luck with it all. Sorry for my short sighted thought and thanks for explaining. Remember that most people see you in a really great way. These people just aren't the loudest.

He lived in Colombia*, which I assume is how D.C. snuck into the comments. Took me a sec to follow that jump.

[-] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. The DC in Washington DC stands for District of Columbia.

What's wrong with her posting on Something Awful?!

You should do an AMA. How did it feel being touched by god?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Now you should do an AMA too!

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

alright, be cool be cool be cool, it's just Margot Robbie.

Yeah I could totally do those one of AMA dooda thingies.
