UK - Instagram Narcissism Meets British Sarcasm…Sarcasm Wins

British blogger and Instagram starlet Scarlett London posted a picture of her ‘perfect morning’ over the weekend and never expected the reaction she got.

Writing in the typical narcissistic style of all young female Instagram starlets, Scarlett presented her typical first hour of the day, saying: “The best of days start with a smile and positive thoughts. And pancakes. And strawberries. And bottomless tea. My morning routine is now live on YouTube and while I don't show you my real bed hair (trust me, it's not pretty), I do give you a little insight into how I start my day in a positive way.”

A Twitter commenter known as Nathan replied, saying: “Fuck off this is anybody's normal morning. Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory made to make us all feel inadequate.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Fuck off this is anybody&#39;s normal morning.<br>Instagram is a ridiculous lie factory made to make us all feel inadequate. <a href="https://t.co/arV7uCusiJ">pic.twitter.com/arV7uCusiJ</a></p>&mdash; Nathan (@hintofsarcasm) <a href="https://twitter.com/hintofsarcasm/status/1035436949727784960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 31, 2018</a></blockquote>

Nathan’s reply immediately went viral and he decided to put on another layer, stating: "The best of days start with the realization that, for once, the horrendous amount of Valium you took to actually get to sleep has worn off and you won't fall down the toilet because you can't walk."

Although Scarlett called upon all her Instagram friends to back her up, Nathan’s tweet got thousands of replies of people saying that they too have had enough of the picture perfect world Instagram tries to portray.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Yeh it’s her. <a href="https://t.co/mvj5Oh7pMi">pic.twitter.com/mvj5Oh7pMi</a></p>&mdash; Matt Jones (@Matt_K_Jones) <a href="https://twitter.com/Matt_K_Jones/status/1035760034779680769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 1, 2018</a></blockquote>

People then told the young blogger that there was no tea in her cup and that the pancakes were actually tortillas. Others asked her why she felt the need to put mouthwash next to the bed.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">At least Nathan’s pic is natural 🤪😂</p>&mdash; Damien Buhagiar (@djBuhagiar) <a href="https://twitter.com/djBuhagiar/status/1035879569591619586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 1, 2018</a></blockquote>

Other stated: “this is so ridiculous in so many ways, everything on this picture is so fake. Ridiculous and not only the sheet with your own face on it.”

Each time I refresh my page, hundreds of new nasty messages pour onto my Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, some of which have contained malicious death threats. There are now hundreds of thousands of tweets circling the internet, shaming me. I implore those mindlessly sharing this content to research who I am as a person, before they further drag my name and image through the mud. Yes, I do adverts on here, but only with brands I genuinely use and would spend money on myself. My feed isn’t a place of reality (let’s talk about Exhibit A - above - I mean who spends their time in such a beautiful city, perched on a ledge, ice-cream in hand and smile permanently affixed to her face, it’s staged guys). Sometimes my photos are whimsical and OTT and a little too pink, but I’m not presenting this as an ‘idealistic’ version of life that young girls should aspire to. Those who follow me will know my reality. I try to raise awareness for the digestive condition I suffer from, the same condition that years ago threatened me graduating from university. My Instagram has been an outlet to show you can be positive and have fun with life, despite this condition. I personally don’t think my content is harmful to young girls but I do agree Instagram can present a false expectation for people to live up to. And I am wholeheartedly sorry if I’ve ever made anyone feel inadequate through my content. My life mission is quite the opposite. I am a strong 24-year-old woman who has experienced bullying in the past. I am and will be okay after this hideous experience. But another young girl or guy as the subject of a targeted hate campaign might not be okay. Please remember at the centre of of every viral storm is a human being. ❤️</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/scarlettlondon/?utm_source=ig_embed" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;" target="_blank"> Scarlett London</a> (@scarlettlondon) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2018-09-02T07:58:08+00:00">Sep 2, 2018 at 12:58am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async defer src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>
