Rant on preppies

Disclaimer: this is not hate on anyone personally, it’s just my opinion on the “preppy” phenomenon in the social media.

Ok so. Preppies. They’re everywhere. And I have a bit of personal beef with them.

1. The overconsumption 

I see preppies with huge “collections” of Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro, Stanley Cups and other products considered cool in the preppy community. In my opinion, normalising and showing off the overconsumption (especially to young and impressionable people) on social media is just disgusting. Also the fact that they’re immune to criticism just pisses me off. I saw a video of some woman with a huge collection of blush (I can’t find it now) and people were commenting about how wasteful it was, but whenever I type “preppy skincare collection into YouTube I find lots of videos where the amount of skincare products/makeup/perfumes is praised. Probably because most of the commenters under the preppy videos are young kids/fellow preppies.

2. The exploitation of kids on social media

No because wtf is going on with all of those preppy kid influencers?? I will not be showing any of them here, and if I find some pictures later, I will blur their faces because I am strongly against showing your children on social media. I believe that those accounts are encouraged or even started by the parents, because they sometimes sound very, very scripted and weird. Those kids might face humiliation, bullying or an identity crisis when they grow up (this is about every single “child influencer” but it’s a problem among preppies as well). Also retinol, make up, crop tops and Sephora hauls are not appropriate for kids at a very young age in my opinion, because they’re all heavily associated with looks and body image (which kids should NOT be concerned about)

3. Whatever the fuck they did to Lorax

Ok so this one might seem a little silly and I know it. But I’m walking on walls whenever I see “preppy Lorax” shit. I’m sorry but Lorax did not die for this T-T… I THINK THEY NEED TO WATCH THE ACTUAL MOVIE AND READ THE ACTUAL BOOK AND CARE ABOUT THE EARTH THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

Have a good day/night everyone ::3

Take care and drink lots of water
