    This article states the criticism Demi Lovato had from social media after when she look at a drawing from Vladimir Serbanescu, a 17 year old Romanian depicting her as a topless mermaid. Besides giving a “positive” feedback to the artist, she stated that her "boobs" are unrealistic and her boobs are not the way they are and that’s not her body. Her "statement" was frowned upon by social media, calling it a rude statement. Many people did support her about her criticism of the drawing and how it's her body and it's her right to view her body the way she likes to. However the hate she also received was overwhelming. Many people who was against her, talked about her eating disorder also how she should be ashame of herself. Vladimir Serbanescu, the artist, felt ashamed and disappointed from her response. This in which, enrages the media more and abuses Demi Lovato more with insults and criticizing her.

  “Immediacy” in Demi Lovato’s case is when she replied about her boobs and her body not looking like that to Vladimir Serbanescu drawing. It was instantly known by many who viewed the picture at that time. This soon got way out of control for Demi. Which leads to “Lack of Control”, it spread like a wildfire throughout the internet with many people screenshotting her response and sending to their friends or their own social media page like Facebook. With more people seeing her response, the hate grew too much for her with insults and abuse from the media. Even when that event was over, lots of people still know about it which goes for “Permanence”. Her wrong use of words caused many people to hate her which affected her a lot for her career and personal life. The advice I would give Demi Lovato, is to be mindful of the words you use. Yes, it’s your body and you have the right to view your body the way it is. However with the internet nowadays and how much hard work done to the drawing by Vladimir Serbanescu. You should give positive feedback next time and think before you post your response.  

'Loren Beech' Roasts 'Baby Ariel'

Do you know how much secret hate is bubbling inside of a ‘social media star?’


Loren Beech (@loren) made the brave decision to make a video, impersonating another star that got famous off of the internet ( @BabyAriel.) Did Loren think about what she did before she did what she did?

The two got their fame from an app called “Musical.ly.” In the app you have the ability to lip sync to lyrics from songs or create your own video for others to remake. These two, along with others have started from the bottom and gotten to the top 10 on the app. Ariel Martin (@babyariel) has 14.2 million fans on the app, while Loren has 10.9 million fans on the app. Loren and Ariel are in the top 10, on the daily. They have true fans that will fight for the ‘right person.’ The internet affects everyone’s opinion, so much that you can never figure out who started what. Their fan bases will edit and upload anything possible to get their desired amount of supporters on their side.

In the impersonation, Loren took what she always saw in Ariel’s Musical.ly’s, YouTube videos, and You Now live streams and made a combination of all of them. She opens the video talking about #Zariel, the ship name for Ariel and Zach Clayton (@Bruhitszach.) From there she makes fun of how Ariel doesn’t like to accept compliments for herself from others. Loren ends the video with a small clip of her saying that she “created Ari (@Theylovearii.) But concludes the video mimicking Ariel’s Musical.ly for her outro.

When Loren uploaded one of the many videos she made, she got so much hate and disrespect from Ariel’s fan base that she had to make her account private. After that she wrote an apology that was posted to a couple of her social medias. Loren says that she didn’t have Ariel’s newest number to send a direct apology to her, so she sent a message to Mark Thomas (@duhitzmark) to send to Ariel. But that message was never sent. Loren also claims that she got the idea from a group chat full of friends that she knows. A person in the chat only wanted to start drama so she gave Loren the idea of mocking another famous person. So technically, it wasn’t fully her fault. She still took the blame because she decided to listen to her friend.

In the end Loren’s actions could’ve been solved differently. Loren’s decision involved immediacy, permanence, and lack of control. Immediacy is involved because Loren knew that as soon as she hit the one button that decided the next move, she would never have that permanently gone. Permanence is important because from now on if you type in the right words, videos from that day will pop up with Loren being the main victim. Lack of control plays a part because Loren has/had no control over what she posts on the internet. Loren could’ve done a lot of things differently. The main thing she could’ve done is not listen to her friend in the group chat. She could’ve done that or she could’ve just saved the bad video and not posted it on any social platforms that she has.


In the end, hate can do a whole lot of damage, keep the hate to yourself and don’t make Loren’s mistake.

Be Conscious, Think Before you Post!


     A 20 year old girl name Erika Escalante, who lives in Arizona was fired from her internship after posting a racist tweet that quickly went viral. She posted photos on Twitter of her and a friend in a cotton field. She wrote this on the caption “Our inner n----- came out today." using the slang word for Negro. This is offensive to the black community. She posted a picture that shows her friend and her picking cotton and smiling. There is nothing wrong with that. What was wrong was what she said. She made fun of this by relating it to the Black slaves. The slaves worked hours in the cotton fields and were brutally treated. Many people were offended on the media. Erika had lack of control. She wasn't in control of the things she posted. She wasn't hurt by this she thought is was funny so she posted it.  Immediacy is how fast people saw and how they responded to it. The photos spread on the media.  Permanency was how she tried to delete the tweet. But people already shared it and save it. She was fired from her job, many people talked bad about her, called her a racist. It will be hard for her to get another job. She said she was sorry and it was a mistake. My advice to Erika is for her to be aware before posting. She should know that anything that is mocking or not true about someone shouldn't be on the internet.
