I feel those "how can you talk about anything other than XYZ?" posts so incredibly hypocritical.
At any given time, there are at least three dozens ongoing armed conflicts that all come with unspeakable atrocities, lifes lost and minds forever altered. On top of that, you can add humanitarian crises around the world and the horrors of organised crime.
It feels like such a double standard to pick the one with the most coverage at the time and demand of others to drop everything to join the coverage.
As you said so well, Influencers are continuing to live their life and make a living. Just like the person dropping these remarks is likely doing throughout the day as well. If we don't, we will be paralised by horror, and what good will that do?
Exactly this. And I always wonder what the people who think like this feel should happen if the crisis goes on for months, or even years? Do we all just lose our homes and allow our own children to suffer, because heaven forbid we continue to earn a living? It’s so hypocrytical (and maybe also a little misogynistic given that the majority of the “influencers” being called out tend to be women posting about things like fashion, beauty, etc, which are seen as frivolous) 😬

So perfectly put. Will be thinking of your sister’s family and hoping they stay safe.
Thanks, Keris ♥️
Really good points, exactly how it feels. I really hope your SILs family manage to stay safe.
Thank you 💗 We’re just hoping the border will open soon, and that they can come home…
