The MOST ENTITLED beauty influencer...? (Mikayla Nogueira)

[@artlate1867]

Telling people that "They didn't want this job" was really frustrating to watch because people would kill to have the job and opportunities she has, but I could also tell that she made that video in quite an emotional state. The comment she was replying to discredited all the effort she has put in up until that point, being invalidated in that way would upset anyone. Being an influencer, in comparison to other jobs, is not hard but it doesn't mean it's easy either.

[@angelikamakeup]

i completely agree!!

[@ShermanVonGee]

Soo uhh why don’t all of these people do it then? If u have a smart phone you’re halfway there. Ppl get famous on tik tok for the bare minimum. Post a thirst trap with the right hashtags and you can go viral overnight. Ppl are acting like it’s impossible to become an influencer. It’s not. Not on tik tok. Learn how the algorithm works and you’re golden. You don’t have 20 min. To film a short clip to post? It’s not KZbin. It’s tik tok. There’s no overhead. There’s no need for editing or organizing a script… look at Khaby Lame dude… I mean, ppl are really offended over something they can do in the time it takes them to post about how triggered they are. All the time these ppl spend scrolling thru tik tok. Could be spent making them. Just do it. If u have access to tik tok u have the means to become an influencer.

[@ShermanVonGee]

And I agree with everything else you said by the way. Someone invalidating your experience and feelings never feels good and if you are already having a tough day that could easily be enough to trigger a response like this. Ppl are just so unforgiving and hypocritical these days. How about have some compassion and empathy and put yourselves in her shoes and see how you would feel it’s not hard to be understanding and mindful of others.

[@AnnaJ292]

@@ShermanVonGee People have to like you (or your content) (or want to hate you) to want to keep up with you in order for you to become an influencer and have more than a handful of viral videos. You won’t get a following without some level of charisma, controversy or interesting dialogue. There are people I know who have posted content for years and have never gone viral. So no, not everyone can be an influencer. Many people in the world don’t have enough engaging personalities to be interesting enough to establish a following like all influencers do. I have people in my life who I know that if they ever wanted to pursue social media as a career, they would make a killing. Others who actively post (and yes, on tiktok) and attempt to become viral who will never do so because they are not someone who a great majority of people would want to subscribe to.

[@natb9919]

Toning down an accent is different to completely changing it though. When people tone down their accent you can still hear bits and pieces of their old accent coming through in certain words or phrases. There was none of that in her old accent. Her Boston accent is very clearly fake. At the very least she over exaggerates it to the extreme. The first time I heard her talk about her "scaaaaaars" I knew that accent was not real.

[@CerotheDemon]

Being a content creator is significantly easier than ANY blue collar job. Work any blue collar job for extended periods it’s FAR more exhausting than being an influencer.

I don't think anyone takes into account the amount of constant hate influencers get and how hard that would be to deal with every single day. Every little thing they say can be taken out of context. At any given time someones little feelings could get hurt and their whole career is over . Ive worked my ass off my whole life and yes it would be great to be your own boss and be an influencer but on the other hand you don't just get to clock out and be done. You're under a constant microscope that I don't think any of us can really compare to unless we've actually done it.

[@tennreeves]

I don't want to discredit the mental toll that influencing can take on Mikayla but i think it is equally, maybe more exhausting to grapple with the existential horror that is having to work until you're old and your body literally gives out just to survive in our society, statistically likely to experience poverty while doing so. If the mental toll is too heavy a burden, she could retire at 24, no problems but I and billions of other people don't just get to give it up. I do agree, though, that the hate she received is intense and useless. I hope she learns new perspectives and I hope she wasn't too distressed by all the hate.

[@frumtheground]

Yeah, sometimes it's frustrating to hear people complain about a well paying and flexible jobs. I get sometimes people just want to vent, and every job has it's challenges. I have a progressive chronic pain disorder so my options are really limited. I'm at a job that undervalues me, overworks me, and my boss constantly pressures me to push my physical limitations and my coworkers aren't that understanding because I "look fine". But, I need a job, and I've been looking for a better one but it'sreally disheartening. I'd love a job that I could do from home, at my own pace.

[@prickhead]

[@tennreeves]

@@prickhead exactly. the internet is brutal 😭

[@nataliag6885]

This might sound so shady, but the reason her comment was so offensive is because, objectively speaking, she isn’t responsible for someone’s life. I’m studying to be a lawyer and while I love it I find myself constantly questioning if I’m ready to work after I graduate, I mean, my job will literally be to defend someone, whether it be with a contractor or because of a crime, that’s someone’s life that will be in my hands. I mean, comments like these are so incentive when we consider we are coming out of a pandemic where doctors and nurses had to move out of their homes and leave their families, or restaurant and grocery workers had to be bullied daily because they needed to enforce protocol, etc., these are human lives people have to deal with in a daily basis, and not digital personas on social media. I know most other careers aren’t as dramatically life or death but they all have in common that they are meant to improve a person’s quality of life and most involve actually interacting with people. The reality is, people in entertainment, because it’s not just influencers, don’t interact with people they are supposedly helping, especially on social media the chances of meeting them are quite low. I can understand it gets lonely and stressful, and all I’ve said is not to say they can’t struggle, but I do believe it’s a little tone deaf to say “people don’t want this job” or “this job is hard” because when I go to an influencers page it’s because I want to distract myself from “the real world” not get lectured by someone who lives in a house I probably will never afford. I do feel for her if she thinks she’s struggling and I believe she said those things in the heat of the moment, but regardless she needed to get a reality check because I do believe somewhere along the line she lost touch.

[@heathermalmal9943]

I think the issue with having a job as an influencer is that she has shown so much of her life (buying a house at such a young age, her full closet full of designer items, and constantly being sent free expensive makeup products) and then to come on there and say that she works a 9-5 job and NO ONE ELSE could handle it was not said well. I personally work 7-5, and have been struggling to pay my mortgage and have a customer service oriented job which means I’m getting yelled at for the majority of the day. I think influencers in general have had to work very hard and I don’t think that their job is any less hard then mine, but telling her followers how hard her job is without knowing their situation and while also showcasing her designer life is in bad taste - especially during the pandemic. I think something else that people were probably upset with is that with a lot of influencers it takes them so long to get any kind of brand deals or following and from what we all see it looks like she blew up overnight basically. I bet there are a lot of her followers who are working a “9-5 job” and still trying to put out content even though they’re not getting paid anything for it.

[@SCCCPZ]

I don't think the changing accents is weird. I graduated from university with a degree in communication, and during radio class you were requared to use a neutral accent.

[@frumtheground]

You're 100% correct about her accent. There's a lot of bias against certain accents in certain industries (now, but especially in the past) certain accents have specific connotations but also it's encouraged because some accents aren't as easy to understand. Like if you're going into telemarketing, news/weather anchor, etc. Especially east coast type accents (New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, so on). Personally I like hearing different accents lol.

[@tennreeves]

!!!!! and the south! ive had so many teachers and professors i really admire tell me that my accent makes me sound uneducated. i had an interview for a job i didn't get and the interviewers note said that he "didn't like the way i sounded." Its real unfortunate.

[@de5072]

I will say as someone who is born and raised by Southerners, it was aggrevaging growing up with a new York accent due to my SPEECH THERAPIST having a strong NY accent. My speech impediment had no chance being fixed by someone who wasn't even saying words correctly herself. I've had to fake a texas accent until it slowly stuck to stop the comments

couldn’t agree more, like a 9-5 can be mentally and physically draining ESPECIALLY when you feel like your work isn’t paying as much as the effort you feel like you’re putting in. It’s easy to say ‘yeah I work a 9-5 job too as an influencer and it’s soooo draining’ when you’re sitting in a 2 million dollar mansion, where as people are working exactly the same hours and can’t even afford to buy a house, or some people working the same hours, just as hard and still have to use things like food banks because they can’t afford to feed their family

[@FridaFajita]

I hate when people call out accents in the US, I have a Chicana accent, but I live in Texas and can't speak with my natural accent cause there's rampant prejudice and racism here. I also work in Big Tech, so my Customer Service voice uses a Bay Area California accent and dialect. When I'm interacting with Texans that have the Texan accent, I will use that accent. In normal situations where I can't gauge the level of "safe" I am I will use the California accent with a brush of my Texan accent. However, when I know I am safe, around my peers, speaking Spanish, English, and Spanglish, I use my regular accent. So when I see people being all like "their accent changes their a fake" I'm like oh so you're just saying you don't have to hide your accent so people will receive you well in public. Alternatively, when I am speaking Spanish and English I will forget English words, same with Spanish when I have been speaking English... This does not mean we're faking it means being multilingual is hard and confusing.

[@de5072]

I feel this. I had to fake my Texan accent to hide a horrible speech impediment and NY accent due to my speech therapist having one. But when I'm with family I do naturally fall into a more Spanish accent without meaning to. Or when I get emotional or angry or excited my speech impediment comes out. And I hate it. But I do mask it with the Texan one

Yeah I definitely get both sides. She did come off as out of touch in her video telling people "you don't want this job, trust me" when you make as much money as you make as an influencer. But the internet definitely has a tendency to overreact and be so cutthroat towards people, who, in the grand scheme of things haven't done anything to deserve this amount of vitriol. Idk, imagine having this many people be so brutal towards you for saying somehting out of touch and annoying. So, I do agree with you on the part where we should give people more grace instead of going so hard right away.

[@taybee42681]

I think her accent is over exaggerated and I can’t listen to it.

She needs to get cancled for using filters while selling & advertising makeup.

[@ariannadshae]

we’d have to cancel almost every other beauty influencer lmao. i agree it’s a little shady but ultimately it’s on the public to be smart enough to understand that people don’t have airbrushed flawless skin in real life. skin had texture, acne, acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, etc and we know that.

[@PrincessElisa8]

Yeah idk something about this girl that I don’t like. She seems very fake and annoying. Part of the reason I can’t stand TikTok is because I’m always shown vids of her and others I can’t stand because I love makeup and looking at new things but I wish it was just certain people. Perhaps why I stick to KZbin on my subscriptions. Anyhoo, loved your look!!! Gorgeous!

[@Delight101ful]

The one thing that made my Spidey senses go off were her talking about her ED/body image issues; I know recovery is different on everyone, and I am not here to shame what people have gone through, but a lot of her past does not line up, especially when it came to talking about bodybuilding, and lifting heavy, and then leading to her first experience p*rging, like, it sounded like someone that was trying to shame the sport without holding one self accountable, and still hold the angle of “woe is me” when reminiscing over being a smaller size. and as a former binger who not got into bodybuilding, as well as someone who went off of birth control and got their hormones back in check, it’s not clicking.

[@Deanna0456]

Honestly taking something she said a year and a half ago and pretending like she said it today with the circumstances she has now is ridiculous. Obviously a year and a half ago she was not in her two million dollar home with Chanel bags . What I took from it is that as an influencer you’re a business owner and it’s more difficult than people often think. Is it the hardest job? No it isn’t but I’m not going to pretend like she hasn’t worked hard and made sacrifices to be where she is today. She apologized for how insensitive it came off and that’s good enough for me. There is always going to be someone who works harder for less money. It doesn’t mean we can’t be human and have a moment when we complain or get upset especially when someone is trying to diminish our hard work. (This isn’t an attack on what you were saying just to make that clear. It’s how I felt towards people who were so outraged by her comments)

[@thenderson3616]

I recently commented on a tik tok to tell a girl that she needed to tag it #ad and she made fun of me in the comments along with other people who said the same thing I did. Makes me laugh bc im old enough to not care, but also mad bc they need to disclose ads bc its so scummy

[@thenderson3616]

And I will say I know it was an ad bc im an internet veteran too (im 22) but also because she responded to someone else by saying "ugh fine #ad

I for one actually did go out and get that nars concealer in Chantilly after seeing the tutorial. Took me hours of combing the net like a stalker to get the shade name because she and I have the same complexion and at that price I needed to get it right the first time. I have cystic eczema and I have to say the trick really works

[@georgia9500]

the thing with her job is that she wanted to cut down on content or projects she could. the pay is absolutely unbelievable so she is in a position to control her workload. as well as all the other perks - flexibility/working from home/PR/events etc

[@ducky19991]

She’s always rubbed me the wrong way, with the photoshop and undisclosed brand deals. Editing photos when you’re selling products is just not ok. Denying filters is also not ok, to me. Not disclosing promos… that’s just shady. I blocked her a long time ago lol

[@cambriadarnell5657]

She's 2 years younger than me? I thought for sure that she was in her 30's.

[@speai2215]

At the end of the day it’s one of those I wish she would’ve waited and collected herself. I do think she came off very entitled tho, I get her struggling and I understand that there are difficulties with the job, but she has a lot of opportunities and financial security that some people may and/or will never have.

Mikayla and I live in the same state, and MA accents are super strong. I lived in Boston until I was about 10, and when I moved to New Hampshire I was made fun of a lot for the way I sound. It’s a love or hate type of accent 🤣

[@frumtheground]

I visited Boston when I was 15 (my dad is a Red Sox fan so of course we had to go see a game). Out of every city I've been to in the US Boston is still one of my favorite places! Accents and all, I couldn't get enough! Also, people aren't lying when they say that pizza is better on the east coast lol.

[@nataliag6885]

Honestly, this whole situation just shows how toxic TikTok is. Regardless of what you do on the platform, you get hate, but I’ve also seen recently how mucho toxic positivity there is in the platform, like much more than on other platforms, and I’ve found it a bit frustrating and makes the app a bit unbearable. When the whole drama with Mikayla happened some TikToks talked about how it’s not her problem she feels bad but societies problem, so if we have to be angry at society, which is valid, but that doesn’t mean we can’t feel some type of way about a thing said by an influencer which was problematic or simply give constructive criticism (like with the jones rode and Meredith situation). I get people want to “protect” their favourite content creators, and this may sound harsh but the faster people realise these influencers don’t care about you but your money, the easier it will be to see these people as human beings who can make mistakes and be problematic. Idk just some thoughts I had.

[@brookerasnick2040]

i went to college in the south and it is 100% accurate that in radio/communications studies they do make you tone down your accent to sound more “neutral and professional” it’s not even her choice really. you won’t get a job on the air without doing it.

[@allison3000]

Honestly I hate when people think you can’t complain about something because someone has it harder. Same with kiddos. I have four kids and it’s extremely difficult..but when someone with one child says it’s difficult I don’t discredit it. Both can be hard. Of course she has privledge but if you’ve watched any of her videos you know she’s thankful and knows that as well! She was having a bad day and stressed and said her job was hard. I’m sure it is. Jobs are hard in different ways. I’ve been a medical assistant running around working 15 hours a day. It was HARD. Now I work from home salary making wayyyy more money with way less work and sometimes I still complain that my job is hard. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Elliotshmelliot]

Literally like I don't get why some people are so mad at her like they never complain. Istg the standard public figures have to hold themselves to is impossible and extremely unfair

[@rooboatdeer22yu51]

Yeah you don't want to force someone to do something differently bc of their insecurities but If you LYING or not being honest about it, its like......... weird. Like why is your job as a youtuber to influence people in a weird untrue way. For absolutely , no reason. the world is hard and it's obvi that this person is kinda doing unnecessary things creating friction.

[@nkhan56834]

"kids watch you" is a good argument on its own bc she doesn't curate her content for kids specifically she simply gears it to people who want to wear makeup

[@kymh4357]

I can't watch her because her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. In general I don't like her. She's done nothing wrong. I think that if you want to be professional stop cussing and being obnoxious. She does filter. She was filtering her body too.

[@tiffanytorres6374]

My cousin is from NYC and has a strong accent and she also got her degree in communications for radio studio but also is pursuing acting. She was also told about toning down her accent for other roles and jobs in the entertainment business. Mikayla has a strong New England accent, which not a lot of people are crazy about in my country. I can see how she can get made fun of for it and wanted to hide it. As far as her being tired at times for working full time on videos, I think she has the right to feel the way she does to an extent. Everyone has a job that over time is draining your energy and makes you miserable. Taking time away and going on vacation can help but sometimes therapy is an option some need more. She’s said she’s been depressed and not feeling well mentally. Yes, she makes a ton of money now but she has worked at Ulta Beauty which is a crappy job and I know because I used to work there too. I work as a vet assistant now and while I get full health benefits, I don’t make a lot. I can’t afford a house, new car or luxury items like she can.

I'm sorry but Nogueira is so annoying...I don't find her to be genuine at all....

[@3s_muycar0]

I could be mistaken but I do think mickayla was working at Ulta, there was a TikTok she made where she filmed herself leaving it. I wanna say this was when she was still living at home and had not met her fiancé. Retail can be hard depending on the ethics n policy of the store or bc of direct management, so that could be one of her job experiences?

[@3s_muycar0]

I just hope in the near future us as consumers stop developing these parasocial relationships with content creators. Our favs aren’t all that we see on screen, but they are still human. Just gotta give courtesy and respect unwarranted more often

[@Sophieee117]

I completely agree with so much of what you’ve said. I don’t dislike Mikayla at all I think she seems lovely and I think she’s got a very mature outlook on the world for a woman of her age. But I haven’t trusted her in a long time. For ages it seemed every product she reviewed she loved and lately I feel as though she’s realised as she gets more successful she gets less relatable and is doing videos like the La Mer one, where she over the top says it’s not worth it and she wouldn’t recommend it for that price tag, to seem more relatable. There’s other that come to mind also. Does this make her an awful person? Absolutely not but as you have said I take a lot of what she says with a pinch of salt

[@alexandrrra5627]

Unpopular opinion, but here we go. Was Mikayla insensitive when she made a video about her job being hard? Absolutely. But I also think everyone is entitled to complain about their job at least once a year. I worked all sorts of jobs, 13 hour retail days with super low pay, desk jobs, management of sorts etc. Now I have a great job in customer service, but do I get burned out sometimes and complain? Absolutely. There's always someone who has it worse, doesn't mean that your feelings about your current situation are invalid. It's a different story if you're ungrateful & unappreciative of the privileges you have, but to me Mikayla's "apology" seemed genuine and venting is necessary sometimes to keep pushing. Maybe the internet is not the best place for it.

[@Huh-pi2op]

Exactly she could of done something so mutch worse I don't enjoy her but there are mutch more influencers that have done worse haha no one is always gonna love thier job every job even if you love it can make you frustrated in some way and I think she was just frustrated and tired and a lot of people could relate

I’m from Boston. No one speaks like this unless we are making fun of ourselves. I guess it was smart to lean into the fact that there wasn’t anyone else in that sphere w a strong Boston accent, but then I’m hearing “authenticity” is her thing? Ugh idk but Jesus it makes actual Bostonians cringe so badly. No one sounds like this unless they are actively trying to have the most obvious accent in New England, it isn’t how anyone naturally sounds here. Edit: It sounds like someone with a college degree trying to sound like a New Englander that has never had access to education and in doing so I think she copied an older person in her life as different generations here have different accents and the only people sounding even close to what she’s trying to do are all like 65+ at this point. So I can understand the anger. It’s inauthentic and she’s copying (or trying to I think?) people from poorer areas. And I can confidently say it’s fake because if it wasn’t …..she’d be able to do it correctly.

[@daisychains8144]

I grew up in the Mid Atlantic region of the US. This is the home of the no-accent accent that broadcasters strive for. I wouldn't say it's faking your accent as much as learning a different way to speak. It's super common especially in the news world. It's not "sad" to speak more clearly when your whole degree is Communication

I'm from the midwest, specifically the Chicago area, and it's so interesting how there's so many different types of American accents. I can definitely tell when someone is from New England/east coast or the deep south because their accents are a lot stronger. I feel like the further west you go, it's a lot harder to tell if someone has an accent because it all starts to sound like a generic American accent. For me personally, I don't think I have an accent, but my dad's side of the family is from Wisconsin and Minnesota and they have more of a Canadian sounding accent.
