people criticizing madison beer for saying her favorite book is Lolita even tho she herself was a girl being groomed and sexualized from the age of 13 feels......weird. like have we considered she maybe related to dolores in a way or are we just gonna assume the worst of her and also discredit this book that, while heavily portraying pedophilia, does not endorse it in any way and could resonate with a lot of young women who have been groomed by their own humberts

yeah, it’s also an objectively well written novel. you can like frankenstein without relating to dr frankenstein too.

[@vlogily8043]

Agree, but also agree with her response to people, like that dark subject matter can be fun for lotsa people, but some people can’t handle it and also I think she should revisit it personally and see if she still likes it and also try and see if she can find a book she likes better, because then she would be reading which is good for her and also rereading it she could have more insight and fun with it

[@LilyLewis771]

This section pissed me off SO much because they’re basically just getting mad at Madison for being beautiful. Like just Madison existing is apparently “setting unrealistic beauty standards”… so what, Madison should change her face and body to please them? Is that not the problem women are complaining about? If you’re not beautiful you need to change and if you’re too beautiful you need to change. I can’t say whether Madison has had plastic surgery or uses photoshop or not but- I’ve seen plenty of women in person who are utterly gorgeous and have amazing bodies, it’s absolutely possible she really looks like that. The problem is how much society values beauty and makes women that aren’t beautiful feel worthless. The problem is that some girls feel bad because they’re not in the top 10% of beauty, not that those beautiful women exist.

[@liviaelectra422]

I’m realizing a lot of negative feelings I had towards Madison Beer when she first became famous were based in jealousy and misogyny. I think she was treated horribly by boys and men, but also by women and girls who should’ve stood by her more but couldn’t because of this inherent competitiveness and jealousy that can tinge our acceptance of beautiful and successful girls/women. she embodies the pitfalls of that kind of anti-feminism, because I think some of the intense attacks come from people who see her living this wattpad dream and want to take that from her or make that dream less appealing by ruining it for her… I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’m excited to. Also the whole nepotism angle is soooooo annoying because even if the rumors are true this is how so many artists lie or fudge things to seem like they are more home grown. To be honest compared to someone like Dakota Johnson or Lily Rose Depp, this nepotism is like the least egregious case ever.

Her response, however, was very well though out and approached with grace. If what she said was true, that she read that book "several years ago" (Which means she read this book as a... child... oof), she definitely does need to read it again in a new light, with more mature and older eyes. And from what I can glean from her past relationships... I can see why she "romanticized" it at first - to which I can fully understand. I really hope she has been, or will, heal from all that. Dealing with abuse is a severely damaging thing, especially if you were a child. It fucks you up psychologically in a way that is just... indescribable.

People literally hate this girl...because she's pretty...that's all I got from people constantly attacking her.

[@jakephineas6994]

I will never stop defending Madison. She’s never made her personality and brand to be centered around the way she looks, she’s also extremely talented and makes some pretty good music, I very much enjoyed her album and her book. She’s an intelligent and well spoken girl who uses her privileged position to speak out about important issues like mental health and the dark side of Hollywood. She’ll forever be an inspiration me.💖

the “unrealistic beauty standards” complaint is so tired, no one owes you an explanation of their medical history just because they’re beautiful. also there are ways to change your face without surgery and filler, madison clearly has strong facial muscles, which is one of the reasons she looks so good. what are these girls gonna do when they find out some people are born good looking?

[@essies4294]

Everyone hates a stunning beauty. Sad but true.

[@DeadLkeMe]

Right? Everytime I see that, it's almost always directed at someone who is more or less naturally gorgeous with genetic lottery. I assume everyone in Hollywood, men, women, and dogs, have gotten cosmetic procedures but they're not miracle cures. Look at Khloe Kardashian. She's gotten a lot of work done, it's SUPER obvious, and she looks Uncanny Valley whereas someone naturally beautiful, like Madison, doesn't have that same appeal.

[@odearflannery7781]

And Madison looks like her baby pictures even if something aesthetic was done it's close to her natural face 🤷‍♀️

And even if she did have plastic surgery, then people would call her fake. Natural or not, she can't win.

[@Kloves818]

Clarifying the alegriers drama (as someone who witnessed it real time): Ale was a magcon stan living in LA. She had constant run ins with the guys, not enough to be close or anything but they definitely remembered her from meeting so many times. Hated Madison for whatever reason (at the time she said Madison was rude to her friends). Ale had a fan meet up at the Grove - just a bunch of teens on twitter wanting to make friends. That same day, Madison was coincidentally also at the Grove meeting fans of her own. They told Madison that Ale (the girl who threatened her on Twitter) was there and Madison sought her out to confront her irl. Ale was caught off guard and didn't expect to fight at the Grove of all places, hence the awkwardness. They talked everything out on the spot and were fine after.

She is one of my favorite pop girlies out there. I have found a lot of comfort in her music and lyrics over the past four years and I think she honestly deserves way more than she has been given thus far.

[@kathall6055]

To add a little extra context to the monster high thing (as a 12 year old goth at the time) if you had a subscription to the magazine, the We Are Monster High song was set up as a contest. The magazine had the lyrics and you could send in a video of you singing it for a chance to do what Madison ended up doing. I don’t recall seeing the confirmation of the “winner”. Just monster high posting the music video with Madison. It made sense they went for someone who was already in the industry but I remember how unfair it felt at the time. So I think that’s why there were so many kids with the “it should have been me” mentality.

I first found out about Madison Beer through this insane rumour that spread among my classmates when we were 13 that Madison was in a long distance relationship with one of the popular boys. I even saw her Facebook ‘page’ where ‘she’ took photos holding a white piece of paper with my classmates’ name on them. Me being an idiot 13 year old kind of believed it and was amazed that some up and coming singer affiliated with Justin Bieber was dating some random schoolboy from one of the poorest parts of London lmao. There was even some beef between imaginary-Madison and a popular girl who was pissed that she slid into her boyfriend’s inbox. I don’t know how that entire situation fell apart but a few years later I heard that it was all fake and some girl from our school had made a fake Facebook page. It is absolutely hysterical to look back on that entire situation because everybody in my year group was convinced. Even though this is obviously not a canon part of the Madison Beer lore, I still consider it to be.

Or at least seek therapy and support. It isn't healthy to feel the need to "help" someone else be a better person. There's a difference between growing together and changing over time VS expecting others to carry the responsibility of your shitty ways. I wish I would have learned this a long time ago.

young girls just need to accept that some girls really are that pretty. the beauty standard does exist it’s just rare.

[@syd755]

I genuinely feel as though most of the intense hatred for Madison, especially from young girls, stems from jealousy and insecurity around physical appearance. I think because she was so young and went from being completely unknown to this huge up and coming celebrity overnight, a lot of people compared themselves to her as Ashley alluded to and wished that it was them getting discovered on youtube by Justin Bieber (even though that's not exactly how it happened). I feel like it just shows how much our obsession with beauty and celebrity, especially in regards to women, hurt everyone. I think it's difficult for people to see her as more than a conventionally attractive, thin white girl and believe that she too can have problems with body image, mental health, and in her personal life. She seems like a very sweet, resilient person and I hope people stop dogpiling on her

[@taylorg2320]

Madison is such a sweetheart, I wish nothing but genuine happiness for her. The girl deserves it

[@the-berries-and-cream-dude]

I think that her biggest issue is her beauty. She’s just a breathtaking person, she’s VERY pretty and that causes a lot of negative reactions from people. She also has the face of a typical high school bully which make people hate her just by how she looks but she seems like a sweet girl. Sadly, people don’t want to see that and judge her based on how she looks and I also think thats why her music career hasn’t taken off, she’s not able to be taken seriously. Even being too pretty has its disadvantages.

So much internalized misogyny and misplaced feelings from young fans that was encouraged to harass her. And the disgusting way that men spoke about her just because she was a beautiful young woman and was just an object to them! My god i had enormous cringe from the older male news anchor towards the beginning who said she was a "gorgeous girl at 13", and couldn't imagine how other adult men were speaking about her publically. The Dobrik interview is another example of the absolute DISGUSTING things people have done to her. How horrifying as well that her parent was treating her like a small adult and wasnt protecting her. I mean expecially hearing at the end that she has struggled with BPD 😢 I really hope she has an amazing therapist that can help her through all of her trauma & insecurities from that. Gosh i could rant on and on!! TL;LR this is the era of not pinning women against each other (expecially in imaginary ways).
