BEDA 3: Internet Celebrities

I don't have a lot of time because it's nearly midnight, so this won't go into as much depth as I would like.

My topic today is "internet celebrities."It's very subjective, because some people would argue that people that are famous on the internet aren't "real" celebrities. I disagree wholeheartedly. I think internet celebrities are just as much - if not more - no, definitely more - deserving of praise as "regular" ones. Because, for the most part, internet celebrities are very down-to-earth people that are just doing the best with the talents that they have. A Youtuber is just a regular kid that sits down once a day or once a week in front of a camera in their bedroom, and talks. They have no Hollywood agenda to maintain, or fake appearance to keep up. They're just regular people, and that makes them more worth celebrating than most of the assholes that populate red carpets.

That being said, I also don't believe that any of them have the right to be stuck up about their "fame." Because, like I said, they are just regular people. And this goes for every celebrity, internet-wise or not. There are plenty of people in the world that can do just what big-name celebrities can, maybe better. But just because they aren't recognized worldwide for their talents, doesn't make them any less of a person than their famous counterparts.

Those are basically my feelings toward all of this in a nut shell. I have to wrap it up, because midnight approaches, and I have to post this in time for day three. Leave your thoughts in the comments, though I'm sure you won't. Until next time!

Goodnight, Tiny Humans.

  1. Totally agree. Like what happened to Luke Conard on his profile picture? Ugh. People comparing him to Alex Day, and saying Alex is better than him on HIS OWN facebook? Come on, aren't people better than this? :(

  2. @Justine Oh, the Luke/ Alex thing has been bad. I mean, I was pretty upset when and Alex and Kristina broke it off, and was hoping that they would get back together for a while there. But once she started going with Luke, I realized that they're actually really happy together, and he's pretty cool.
    But people were being really rude about it all. And completely insensitive. When Luke and Kristina changed their statuses to "engaged" on April Fool's, people started quoting Mrs. Nerimon lyrics on Luke's status. Like, really guys?
    It's bad.
