What I want to understand is why, when needing to be “edgy”, people go immediately to anti-black racism? You said it perfectly - the industry already has issues with discrimination and under representation, stunts like this just make it a worse environment for everyone.
Sadly, russian culture is often casually anti-black, I fucking hate that about our culture. It's hard to explain to people that racial slurs are bad. Sad and pathetic.
I would love to see someone take a fake, but seemingly serious and angry stance on something that no one really cares about, like protecting New York City from steam or finger painting being for everyone and not just kids.
We are easy to punch down because we look so different to others. Bonus if we also happen to be transgender, disabled, assigned female at birth, you name it.
He's absolutely racist, specifically anti-Black, but based on his name, I don't think that Kasim is white. Unfortunately, anti-Blackness is also an issue in Arab/SWANA communities and other non-white communities around the world.
The thing is race is a social construct and it seems some places in the world dont seem to view arab/swana as being "of color", i know that in the us, most of north africa is considered white, meanwhile, south and central europe thinks of north africa has of color. Idk about the uk where treacle tatt is from, and idk about russia (where this tattoo artist is from) I get the confusion tho, i myself did not know about these differences on how race is viewed before i made an american (usa) friend and talked about it with him!
It could be a sign of appreciation and many other things. If his name is Kasim and he lives in russia, there is a probability he is with darker skin and may receive such comment, like black. People see races very differently all around the world and many times it is not hateful
Trusssst me I look like this one or two times a week to film and the rest of the time I look like a lil sewer rat on the hunt for snacks 😂 but thank you for your very kind compliments 🥹🩷
Not being rude, dressing gown just gave me visions of a 1940s starlet sprawled across a velvet chaise lounge chair❤. Sounds much more glamorous then my old battered lace bralettes, tanks and bike shorts
But it's her choice to look glamourus rather than casual on camera! Lots of RUclipsrs don't get dressed up or makeuped much to film (not that one is better than the other, and obviously it's part of her visual brand).
Life Lessons 100: Scrutinize your tattoo artists on the same level you scrutinize your first dates and therapists because bad ones will scar you for life.
We need to stop giving attention to rage baiters, especially ones using rasism, sexism, etc. If something makes you angry or upset SCROLL! Don't comment, just scroll away. If they are particularly abhorrent block them. Its really just that easy
The fact that his little finger "tattoo" is incredibly disrespectful but also not even real... and he had to post it TWICE because he didn't get enough attention I suppose, just makes him seem extremely desperate lmao. I'd rather support an artist that had more confidence in their skills, that's just sad
Thank you for explaining rage bait to me. I saw a video of a man firing a woman in an elevator at Macy's and I could tell it was made just to anger people and circulate the a hateful video. It is truly disgusting.
@@Insertia_Nameia you mean a random guy, who doesn't even work at the place will go into places and pretend to be upper mngmnt and record himself publicly firing people for social media views? And like record himself publicly firing people in gross ways as well to add to the audacity? Cute. Real cute. 🪦⚰💀
@@mandipatterson7671 yeah I've probably seen like 3 or 4 videos of him doing it. It was usually othe rpeople reacting to how messes up it is, so I don't know hwonmany dude has done as I refuse to give his tik tok direct views, but I would imagine he has more than that.
I honestly wouldn't even consider that 'light' rage bait. You wrote 'ANNUAL BATH' in what world is having an annual bath a serious message? it implies the rest is a joke too. Genuinely cant believe the comments about that.
@@msdouglas12100You are correct about the lack of media literacy. On a service dog channel, someone assumed the disabled couldn’t take proper care of an assistant dog. When I pointed out that a disabled person could get help with caring for the dog, the poster said I lacked logical thinking. Unbelievable. I remember when the internet expanded people’s perspectives.
Oh no, not the axolotls looking they are plotting world domination. But seriously, people are losing the concept of satire, sarcasm, and comedy. If you had posted the bathbomb video ten years ago, the ratio of people finding it hilarious vs. thinking it was real would have been flipped. Rolly reacts to a lot of her content and his eye rolling at them is an art form in on of itself.
I’ve seen axolotls comment on the last video I watch of hers. I was so confused. I seen your comment today.. Then, I looked behind her and saw all the stuff axolotls.
Are you talking about Rolly the guy with a ton of piercings who wears the crazy colored contacts? He does piercing react videos and is very flamboyant?
@@DoorsToHideBehind156 I absolutely am! I found Lauren's channel because I'm subscribed to his, and it was a 'you may also like treacletats' kinda deal
Hello, I’m writing this comment because I haven’t find the information I was looking for on the internet. Can you explain me why this term is a slur/anti-romani? I’m from France and this term (in French) only refer to a ethnic group and is absolutely not problematic. I’d like to understand the difference within language so I don’t ever hurt anyone. Thank you if you find the time to answer my message.
@@suzh6067Rroma are not from Egypt where the term gets its roots from. Many Rromani people in other countries do refer to themselves as this since a lot of the other terms in the local language are worse slurs used against them. The term is still used in many places to discriminate and keep Rroma from getting jobs or housing to even being able to keep their own children and it is very rampant in many European countries including France. If you are not Rroma you don't really get to say if it is problematic or not
That’s literally what a group of people are called in the UK though. We have Gypsy, Romani and Travellers which are three distinct groups. Yes you shouldn’t call the wrong group the G word because then it’s a slur, but you can’t not call the group of people who refer to themselves as gypsies it because that’s disrespectful. I just want to make that distinction for you, because most Americans don’t realise this.
@@parrotstoriesI don’t live in the UK, but just because someone refers to themselves by a slur absolutely doesn’t give anyone else the right to do so. Even if you think it’s been condoned by members of that community
That term isn't keeping any roma people from jobs. Not wanting to work is mostly what's keeping them from jobs. The ones that do want to work and go to school have to get out of their communities because they're looked down upon. These people marry off their young daughters to any old rat and rid them of any chance of advancement. Anyone who lives close to them knows what nightmares are. Only people who aren't familiar think they have to protect them from something. People do call them that name because they call themselves that and they're fully right to use a common word. Everyone who has a problem with it online absolutely needs to spend a month living close to them.
It's really funny that people could see someone with their entire legs covered in tattoos and think they need to tell you that leaking ink into the tub isn't normal, as if you'd somehow gotten dozens of tattoos without knowing this
Imagine being happy with people thinking you are thick, xenophobic or just downright horrible and bad at your job! I would be devastated. I overthink every conversation I ever have! 😂 the thought of thousands of people thinking I was stupid, I just couldn’t! 😂
I'll be damned the day some tiktok clown uses my body canvas as the butt of a joke for popularity. This is exactly why I stay offline as much as possible and get tattooed by people who know how to conduct themselves as professional artists. This industry is shameful and shameless at the same time.
The thing with the finger writing is any word would have worked. The N word would and did get the biggest reaction but is the backlash worth it? Like imagine if he had a different but cheeky work like penis or boob people would still notice and comment and boost engagement. But no we had to do the racist thing. At least he advertised the type of person he is and people know not to get tattooed by him 🤦🏻
and had it kept it fun and cute it would've been a different word each time; or even the moustache tattoo we all remember. With clients permission of course. People would come back looking for then next word/symbol and continue watching the rest of the clip for the tattoo. Pair it with a good song and he's got something. But he chose racism.
before anyone comments anything about russian culture or whatever - WE AREN'T DUMB. russians are as connected to the rest of the world as we are in this comment section - even with the current restrictions, as evidenced by the fact Kasim can freely post on tiktok as can many others. russia isn't a clueless white country either, like many seem to think -like america the country houses a huge amount of different cultures and different races, and kasim himself doesn't seem "white" to me either (i use that term loosely because there's plenty of russians who have fair skin and aren't technically "white.") there's really no convenient excuse for this behaviour, he's just racist and edgy.
Ragebait is partially why I'm in a sensory/information burnout as an AuDHD person. I don't watch tv, but I watch A LOT of RUclips. I say I don't watch the news because it makes me too anxious as someone who's hypersensitive, yet most of the content I watch (because the algorithm picked up on a handful of videos I enjoyed a while ago) is drama and negative topics with flashy titles. It's just EVERYWHERE. I've been looking for more comforting/positive content, but it's way less popular. I'm responsible for my own media consumption, and sometimes it goes into self-sabotage territory, but social medias and content creators definitely weaponize our tendency for drama and negativity online. So long story short, my body now gives me fight or flight response when I'm scrolling online and we should definitely put the phone down to read a book, mend our clothes, play with our pets, ...
I recommend picking your hobby and trying to find youtubers who also are into your hobby. My favorites for cozy content are: Nerd Forge Almost every single member of Hermitcraft Gab Smolders, specifically the cost games lol Smosh Girl with the dogs, her second channel especially Midwest Magic Cleaning, if you check him out tell him I say hi he likes knowing where new viewers come from Dewlan Rachel Maksy How to Cook That Caryn and Connie Gaming Skeptical Nessie Pirate software There's so many good creators out there. I hope at least one of these helps you break up some of that negative scrolling cycle. I also avoid the news and I spend almost 24 hours a day on youtube, including when I fall asleep, there's always something playing. It's the background noise of my life. Don't let the negative stuff be your background noise.
Omg are you me cuz literally same lmao. I've been trying to back down off a lot of the bigger drama videos cuz they started triggering some of my own past trauma so I've tried to stick to more trivial things that don't really matter and funny videos. Or really long gaming videos cuz they are great background noise while I'm doing what I need to. It really helped taking back topics that would get me heated or start overthinking too much. It's been rough with so many RUclipsrs getting exposed recently too.
@@AshChiCupcak Video game theory is a lot of fun too, and often more positive since it's people discussing games they love! But yeah, RUclips is rough these days 😓 Hope you get better as well!
I'm AuDHD too and feel the same way! One thing that helped for me is transitioning partially from RUclips to podcasts. That way I can have something on while I do other tasks so it's way more productive, no eye strain from staring at a screen, and wayy smaller chance of getting sucked into the algorithm rabbit hole.
@@ragdollrose2687 I love anything that has to do with videos games, definitely a special interest of mine. I highly recommend Josh Strife Hayes if you've never seen him. He has a great "was it good" series for old games and "is this the worst mmo". He also just uploaded 2 70+ playthroughs of Morrowind and New Vegas that are just perfectly chaotic. It's hard to find gamer content creators these days who are so well mannered and well spoken and not screaming at the game all the time or being mad for no reason. I'm getting too old for all that craziness 😅
Keep up the good work Lauren! You've been dropping so many amazing videos lately and so fast between each other! And I love that you're using your platform to raise awareness to people who are using theirs badly.
I don't normally comment but will here to push engagement because this is such an important message, not just for tattooing but in general and I feel you made the point so well in this video.
I have been trying to decipher what your pillow says for a few vids now lol cosy crossed my mind as a potential choice but it made no sense to me but more so than cosx or cosv unless they were acronyms. Then it totally dawned on me that cozy is spelled as cosy in the UK which makes perfect sense why it'd be on a pillow. Btw my weedman got some fire bud rn 🤣
I'm early for once hehe Really happy you made a specific video about this, I've noticed the way you got more and more fed up each time something was obviously fake. I hate ragebait sm, as if there isn't enough anger in the world already 🙄
I feel you on the 'low effort creation blowing up' situation. I write fanfic and post to tumblr, about 5-6 years ago, i had an idea for a tiny 100-ish word piece of writing that took no more than 10 minutes to write and post in the middle of the night, and for years, that was my most popular post, and definitely most popular piece of writing. 10,000+ word stories I wrote bombed all the time, but that tiny low-effort drabble haunted my notifications for years.
This is one of the things I get so frustrated about I have clients that I tattoo who are African American and I’ve heard some horror stories just glad I can provide a safe space and new shop for them to come to this guy definitely shouldn’t be at the level he’s at sure his tattoos look fire from the video but also he can be doing this 1) with out the clients knowledge 2) still racist even if he claims not to be then why do it and 3) even if it gets you clicks and shared it’s not something you should be promoting in any shape or form also shout out to all the minority artist the industry definitely has changed for the better but this is still a problem smh let’s strive to do better with LGBTQ+, women, and minorities everyone deserves a safe space to get inked up
Thank you for providing a safe space for us. I’m very new to the tattoo world and only got my first two tattoos last year. I was SUPER nervous trying to find a shop who did the type of work that I wanted but also a place where I felt welcomed (I live in the South so that makes it even harder). Luckily I did a lot of research and found a shop that’s perfect for me and can’t see myself going anywhere else. All of this to say we really appreciate the people doing the work to make tattooing an inclusive industry.
Ink Master has always made me nervous about running into covert or subtle bigotry and I've been fortunate. But it's still a concern playing in the back of my mind. I completely agree that it's so frustrating seeing stellar artists struggle while this prick doesn't.
I'm not really surprised, a lot of eastern europeans have never seen a black person IRL and a lot of them just don't really see it as a serious issue due to being so far removed. Not that it makes it okay, but it's really not surprising at all. Doubt any of his local clients care at all.
as a Russian-speaking person from Eastern Europe I can tell you that the n-word issue and all the intricacies of its usage here are either not common knowledge or simply disregarded, since people of colour make up such a small percentage of the population. if anything, young people will use the n-word thinking it's 'cool' cause it gets them attention rather than to necessarily insult a POC. this guy is 100% rage-baiting but I just wanted to point out that culturally among Russian/Slavic language speakers the attitude and intent towards this word is a bit different than it is in the West
i was about to comment the same thing. Like, it shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is. For example, my relatives think it's politically correct to use the n-word rather than saying "black person".
I just find that incredibly...dumb? Are you talking about people who've never been on the internet at any point in their lives? Because if not, how can you observe black culture enough to take it (me @ every single nonblack rapper, including the russian ones) but not to know NOT to say the n word???
Did not know the definition of rage bait so thank you for that. The inky bath bomb was funny I understand the problems with it The fake tattoos get so silly and scary it gets so many views
@@treacletatts seriously, you’re my comfort RUclipsr that I listen to when I’m laying in bed at night trying to unwind. You’re so appreciated!! Much love from California
As a junior tattoo artist this is heartbreaking and frustrating to see. I recently had to quit and find a different job because I too was among the struggling tattoo artists, and seeing someone basically get away with such heinous behaviour and racism is incredibly upsetting. I can only hope that tattoo artists like this will be boycotted because they do not deserve the trust and support of their clients and fellow artists
Maam please dont take away from your talent, skills, and dedication of your job. You are amazing and I am always incredibly engaged by you and I absolutely love how you inform us on tats. Much love. ❤️ 🫶🏾 And yeah, this person…. 🤦🏾♀️
Sociopaths have always been the successful rich ones because they’re willing to step on everyone other way up and punch down when they are on top. Maybe over time, social media will change that and we’ll encourage engagement with the nice people.
Controversy attracts more attention than decency. Kasim seems like the Ann Coulter of tattoo artists. Saying crazy stuff to get attention instead of being a good person.
First, thank you for covering these topics. You are providing valuable insight and thousands of people can watch your video instead of giving these disgusting people views! Second, it's so true about looking at people's socials and see if their [sh*tty] values are hidden there. I have a friend whose husband is a tattoo artist. He's very talented, and as I was looking through his FB, I saw a Confederate flag front and center on one of his clients. Now, there was no description on if the artist did that or it was there previously (the whole arm looked healed), but I wouldn't want to get tattooed by someone who tattoos said things, or would tattoo a person who has such things. Glad I looked deeply at his portfolio!
Yeah I never watch clickbait on the actual channel where it's posted, I prefer to get the highlights secondhand from another source. And yeah there's always people who are so credulous they really shouldn't be left unattended or they'll spend the household budget on magic beans
Being racist in Russia won’t end anybody’s career unfortunately. He’s probably never touring in Europe or USA so 🤷🏻♀️, I don’t think he profits from having this huge international following anyway so I don’t even know what all this attention and rage bate videos are for
for me it feels like there is no racism towaards black people in Russia. But there is for sure racism in Russia, just not towards african-american black... or... I honestly do not know what words to use to be correct here. There is racism but towards people who are much closer.
Uh maybe to bring awareness to this problem? Regardless of whether or not it “hurts” his career (which it still possibly could considering social media is international), there is still the rage bait problem. So, yeah that’s what all this is for.
@@annafareast5053Two things can be true, specific countries can have internal issues but also, as a society antiblackness can be enacted by anyone, even other poc.
@@princessmiaxo why exactly THAT racism is more important? Usually people know about US problems, a bit about Europe problems, but you don't care to know about other countries and you just judge. Why is black racism is more important? Why it has to be the most important for the country that never had problems with black people. You talking about society but you always talking about the specific problems and never think that some problems may be more important for different countries. Even racism in different countries is different, it's not always against black people
@@annafareast5053 1) Where did I say it was more important? Oh right. I didn't. I literally said 'two things can be true' which is the DEFINITION of not lowering the specific bigotry others face. You just made shit up. 2) Where did I say I don't care about other country's problems? Oh yeah, didn't say that either! I just brought attention to the fact that antiblackness is committed even when the overarching issues in a country are with other ethnicities or even other white people. 3) This is, quite literally, about us. It's the N word, not the K word, G word C word, nobody else's slur. It's about a specifically antiblack slur. THAT'S why I brought up antiblackness. Don't ask why I'm "making this about me" when it IS about me.
Disgusting. I totally agree with your end rant, its depressing and has always been this way unfortunately. The way we engage with content (basically rewarding rage bait and these kind of people) has to change.. These people will keep doing what theyre doing and keep succeeding.. I hope people collectively unfollow him..
As a Romani gypsy, I do not consider the word gypsy a slur. I understand why some may refrain from using it, but I think it’s a little silly. No hate btw I love your videos just my take on the word.
20:21 absolutely agree Lauren. And it’s disgusting. Bad people succeed every day, getting media attention, lots of money etc. A certain unroyal couple is a prime example of that. Why does humanity allow it to continue? It never ends. 😡
Reminds me of a movie or show I saw where there were two tik tok creators who were trying to get more and more clicks, so they did live shows where the audience got to decide what they were going to do. Stuff like riding on a motorcycle and the driver was blindfolded while his gf relayed where to turn.
A former coworker, who is from russia, once told me that it is actually rude to call someone black in russia and instead they use the n word. I don't want to defend anyone, just want to share that bit of information I once got from someone who definetely is not racist and one of the nicest persons I ever met.
im glad most of the ragebait i see online is just people wasting food to make some gross meal or people doing something fake and never the racist rage baiters
Every time we think the dregs of the tattoo world can't sink lower, some determined clown will find a way. 🤦♂️ It's a weird experience to see someone I think so highly of showing me so many new people to despise! 😂 Love you anyway, Lauren! 😂
The thing I think about whenever I see any of these ragebait, engagement above all type of artists, aside from the obvious bigotry in this one guy's case, is... if they'll do XYZ stupid thing to get attention, what happens when that no longer works? Or when they can't get friends or clients to consent to being in their joke ragebait videos? Do they value engagement above giving me the tattoo I want? Would they decide to fuck around with me as a client if it meant they'd get a few more views? Engagement farming, IMHO, eats away at the trust between the artist and the client, because the more desperate the artist is for engagement, the clearer it becomes to the client that they're no longer the prioity in the tattooing process: the anonymous Tiktok or Instagram audience is. The clicks are. The comments and engagement are. Personally, I'm not prepared to trust someone with priorities that out of whack to make permanent marks on my body, and I don't think I'm alone in feeling that way.
Thing is, this won't stop until inclusive artists are uplifted so much their online presence drowns out the bigots. Is there a database of green flagged artists yet? A worldwide database of tattoo artists that make an effort to tattoo on all skin tones, be safe to go to if you are queer and or trans, accessible, etc.?
It is like this makeup influencer Mikayla, people keep saying she has learn nothing about previous “mistakes “ but I think she is really smart because people are talking drama about her every day!!! Until now I didn’t even comment about her because I knew it would just keep the thing going on…
Treacle, when you talked about how your cheeky reel/tiktok got more views than any other piece of content that you have poured your whole soul into producing kind of broke my heart. It’s frustrating thinking about how much effort people put into crafting and curating their social media presence and how easily it can be overshadowed by a single viral moment.
Remember you posting the Russian tattoo artist on Instagram. Went to the page and blocked the person. Your art can be the best of the best, I would never want to have a tattoo by you. So I prefer to block those artists, because I might not remember in a few years and come across the profile again. So grateful for people like you that call them out🙏
This immediately made me think of a specific artist. I can't remember his name but I think he's been in one of your tiktok reaction videos or something. All of the videos I've seen by him are him recreating interactions with clients (or potential clients) and making fun of them in the process. Whether he doesn't like the tattoo idea they have or their lack of tattoo knowledge. If you're actually a talented artist maybe you should use your ART to get noticed, not your shitty attitude. Edit: There's a story (or whatever they're called) on snapchat that are compilations of his tiktoks. I have to keep blocking it because either the name changes or new accounts are being made. Go away!!
I just want to mention the first girls name was Gipsyg… no “Gipsy”, so I do wonder if that is her actual name and not meant to be a slur. It did seem as though she was not English or American.
Have (unfortunately) “had to” unfollow some artists whose work I admired and actually got work from due to troubling remarks/videos that slowly showed their true colours. The thing is, when taken as a single video/clip, some of these red flags can just seem like an “of, that maybe should have been thought through/edited a bit more carefully before posting”; thinking, HOPING, it was a mistake or they didn’t realize certain connotations and then were informed and educated. But when you start either looking over their whole profile or, sadly, happen to follow them (thinking they were a reputable artist/decent human being) and notice all the innuendos… it’s just disheartening. Then you wonder “do I state I’m unfollowing and maybe bring attention to it?” or just unfollow and block and don’t give them the interaction? I feel like the “big names” (like the artists with lots of followers and some “industry clout” making a comment does help. It can help someone who’s just scrolling through and not really paying attention to the background or has their sound off (yes, both of those are me) notice the red flags. It’s just so sad to feel like all of the inclusive progress, bringing the tattoo industry out of the back-alley/“members only” mentality, highlighting the incredible art form/form of self expression it is is being lost.
You always look so good! I could never have an ass hole mark my body permanently. I think I would be willing to go to an artist that may be a bit less good for exemple but that is kind hearted. I would not want his "energy" on me forever.
Fact the first girl has an antiziganist slur in her username I would venture is the sort to post a lot of ragebait unless she is truly unaware of the harmful connotations of it. I thank you very much for addressing that it can be offensive to many Rromani and chose not to use it in your video
As a Russian speaker, unfortunately, a lot of Russians don't realise how problematic this is. I saw quite a few people like this in post-soviet countries who think racism is just an edgy joke...
It’s so childish too, like this is the type of shit that usually gets dug up from high school or college not grown man activity. Like twelve year olds giggling about saying curse words when they’re out of adult earshot but it’s a grown man with a platform spreading hate
why do people comment on obvious rage bait posts...? do those people think they hurt his feelings by calling him racist and embarrassing? trust me, youre just helping him by giving him EXACTLY what he wanted. its not that hard to ignore the post, unfollow and/or block.
Content creation is so weird. Like we have to try so hard and also not try at all somehow. It’s all about games and schemes and making everything a joke. I get way more engagement on my tattoos just by having a silly little clip of myself in the beginning because people care way more about art when they find the artist attractive. We can’t just do art anymore. Gotta be funny, interesting, attractive, and being good at the art you’re doing is a plus but not even a requirement.
4:00 omg why is this so freaking real?😭 I remember back in 2019 i saw this funny tiktok sound and made my own silly little video about it - video was about a cat sitting in the closet and fittingly my parents cat used to go into my closet all of the time and so i took the video, literally midst conversation and while just being in undergarments and posted it without editing. I had maybe like 200 followers back then and this shit blew up like - my no effort vid gets over 100k likes but my 3 hour makeup look content is not even seen by my friends... ok algorithm ;-;
What I want to understand is why, when needing to be “edgy”, people go immediately to anti-black racism?
You said it perfectly - the industry already has issues with discrimination and under representation, stunts like this just make it a worse environment for everyone.
Sadly, russian culture is often casually anti-black, I fucking hate that about our culture. It's hard to explain to people that racial slurs are bad. Sad and pathetic.
They could be edgy by being communists. That'd be fun to watch
I would love to see someone take a fake, but seemingly serious and angry stance on something that no one really cares about, like protecting New York City from steam or finger painting being for everyone and not just kids.
We are easy to punch down because we look so different to others. Bonus if we also happen to be transgender, disabled, assigned female at birth, you name it.
He's absolutely racist, specifically anti-Black, but based on his name, I don't think that Kasim is white.
Unfortunately, anti-Blackness is also an issue in Arab/SWANA communities and other non-white communities around the world.
The thing is race is a social construct and it seems some places in the world dont seem to view arab/swana as being "of color", i know that in the us, most of north africa is considered white, meanwhile, south and central europe thinks of north africa has of color. Idk about the uk where treacle tatt is from, and idk about russia (where this tattoo artist is from)
I get the confusion tho, i myself did not know about these differences on how race is viewed before i made an american (usa) friend and talked about it with him!
We SWANA do have a lot of colourism in our communities even against ourselves unfortunately, so I'm not surprised.
It could be a sign of appreciation and many other things. If his name is Kasim and he lives in russia, there is a probability he is with darker skin and may receive such comment, like black. People see races very differently all around the world and many times it is not hateful
@@KateinBlackwhat are you talking about
My ex husband was Chinese Malay. He was anti-black, and racist against Japanese people. It was very weird who he was racist towards and who he wasn't.
How do you manage to always look like you're ready for a photo shoot, some days I don't even make it out of my dressing gown 😅
Trusssst me I look like this one or two times a week to film and the rest of the time I look like a lil sewer rat on the hunt for snacks 😂 but thank you for your very kind compliments 🥹🩷
Not being rude, dressing gown just gave me visions of a 1940s starlet sprawled across a velvet chaise lounge chair❤. Sounds much more glamorous then my old battered lace bralettes, tanks and bike shorts
Because this is her job.
maybe one day will adress the mustache
But it's her choice to look glamourus rather than casual on camera! Lots of RUclipsrs don't get dressed up or makeuped much to film (not that one is better than the other, and obviously it's part of her visual brand).
Life Lessons 100: Scrutinize your tattoo artists on the same level you scrutinize your first dates and therapists because bad ones will scar you for life.
We need to stop giving attention to rage baiters, especially ones using rasism, sexism, etc. If something makes you angry or upset SCROLL! Don't comment, just scroll away. If they are particularly abhorrent block them. Its really just that easy
exactly. i wish people would stop giving them exactly what they want.
And if you wanna put in a lil extra effort, report them!
I want the racist people to expose themselves so I know to stay far away. I’m so glad I have an amazing tattoo artist.
The fact that his little finger "tattoo" is incredibly disrespectful but also not even real... and he had to post it TWICE because he didn't get enough attention I suppose, just makes him seem extremely desperate lmao. I'd rather support an artist that had more confidence in their skills, that's just sad
Thank you for explaining rage bait to me. I saw a video of a man firing a woman in an elevator at Macy's and I could tell it was made just to anger people and circulate the a hateful video. It is truly disgusting.
If I think that's who I think it is, hr does that a lot. I've seen him do it to other employees at other workplaces as well.
@@Insertia_Nameia you mean a random guy, who doesn't even work at the place will go into places and pretend to be upper mngmnt and record himself publicly firing people for social media views? And like record himself publicly firing people in gross ways as well to add to the audacity? Cute. Real cute. 🪦⚰💀
@@mandipatterson7671 yeah I've probably seen like 3 or 4 videos of him doing it. It was usually othe rpeople reacting to how messes up it is, so I don't know hwonmany dude has done as I refuse to give his tik tok direct views, but I would imagine he has more than that.
I honestly wouldn't even consider that 'light' rage bait. You wrote 'ANNUAL BATH' in what world is having an annual bath a serious message? it implies the rest is a joke too. Genuinely cant believe the comments about that.
I think thats part of the problem, like media literacy is so bad some people don't get obvious jokes vs rage bait.
@@msdouglas12100You are correct about the lack of media literacy. On a service dog channel, someone assumed the disabled couldn’t take proper care of an assistant dog. When I pointed out that a disabled person could get help with caring for the dog, the poster said I lacked logical thinking. Unbelievable. I remember when the internet expanded people’s perspectives.
Oh no, not the axolotls looking they are plotting world domination.
But seriously, people are losing the concept of satire, sarcasm, and comedy. If you had posted the bathbomb video ten years ago, the ratio of people finding it hilarious vs. thinking it was real would have been flipped. Rolly reacts to a lot of her content and his eye rolling at them is an art form in on of itself.
I’ve seen axolotls comment on the last video I watch of hers. I was so confused. I seen your comment today.. Then, I looked behind her and saw all the stuff axolotls.
@@Rachy91 they just keep on multiplying! And I just suddenly noticed them and thought it was funny to point them out.
Are you talking about Rolly the guy with a ton of piercings who wears the crazy colored contacts? He does piercing react videos and is very flamboyant?
@@DoorsToHideBehind156 I absolutely am! I found Lauren's channel because I'm subscribed to his, and it was a 'you may also like treacletats' kinda deal
thank you for acknowledging the fact that the first artist uses an anti-romani slur and chosing not to say her username
Hello, I’m writing this comment because I haven’t find the information I was looking for on the internet. Can you explain me why this term is a slur/anti-romani? I’m from France and this term (in French) only refer to a ethnic group and is absolutely not problematic. I’d like to understand the difference within language so I don’t ever hurt anyone. Thank you if you find the time to answer my message.
@@suzh6067Rroma are not from Egypt where the term gets its roots from. Many Rromani people in other countries do refer to themselves as this since a lot of the other terms in the local language are worse slurs used against them. The term is still used in many places to discriminate and keep Rroma from getting jobs or housing to even being able to keep their own children and it is very rampant in many European countries including France. If you are not Rroma you don't really get to say if it is problematic or not
That’s literally what a group of people are called in the UK though. We have Gypsy, Romani and Travellers which are three distinct groups. Yes you shouldn’t call the wrong group the G word because then it’s a slur, but you can’t not call the group of people who refer to themselves as gypsies it because that’s disrespectful. I just want to make that distinction for you, because most Americans don’t realise this.
@@parrotstoriesI don’t live in the UK, but just because someone refers to themselves by a slur absolutely doesn’t give anyone else the right to do so. Even if you think it’s been condoned by members of that community
That term isn't keeping any roma people from jobs. Not wanting to work is mostly what's keeping them from jobs. The ones that do want to work and go to school have to get out of their communities because they're looked down upon. These people marry off their young daughters to any old rat and rid them of any chance of advancement. Anyone who lives close to them knows what nightmares are. Only people who aren't familiar think they have to protect them from something. People do call them that name because they call themselves that and they're fully right to use a common word. Everyone who has a problem with it online absolutely needs to spend a month living close to them.
It's really funny that people could see someone with their entire legs covered in tattoos and think they need to tell you that leaking ink into the tub isn't normal, as if you'd somehow gotten dozens of tattoos without knowing this
Imagine being happy with people thinking you are thick, xenophobic or just downright horrible and bad at your job! I would be devastated. I overthink every conversation I ever have! 😂 the thought of thousands of people thinking I was stupid, I just couldn’t! 😂
I'll be damned the day some tiktok clown uses my body canvas as the butt of a joke for popularity. This is exactly why I stay offline as much as possible and get tattooed by people who know how to conduct themselves as professional artists. This industry is shameful and shameless at the same time.
Girl ur voice is soothing like u could talk about anything!!! I would watch
🥹🩷
The thing with the finger writing is any word would have worked. The N word would and did get the biggest reaction but is the backlash worth it? Like imagine if he had a different but cheeky work like penis or boob people would still notice and comment and boost engagement. But no we had to do the racist thing. At least he advertised the type of person he is and people know not to get tattooed by him 🤦🏻
and had it kept it fun and cute it would've been a different word each time; or even the moustache tattoo we all remember. With clients permission of course. People would come back looking for then next word/symbol and continue watching the rest of the clip for the tattoo. Pair it with a good song and he's got something.
But he chose racism.
Lauren: “I hope you are sitting comfortably..”
Me: **on the stair climber** 😅
😂😘
Holy moly 😂 those things are no joke!!😮💨
before anyone comments anything about russian culture or whatever - WE AREN'T DUMB. russians are as connected to the rest of the world as we are in this comment section - even with the current restrictions, as evidenced by the fact Kasim can freely post on tiktok as can many others. russia isn't a clueless white country either, like many seem to think -like america the country houses a huge amount of different cultures and different races, and kasim himself doesn't seem "white" to me either (i use that term loosely because there's plenty of russians who have fair skin and aren't technically "white.") there's really no convenient excuse for this behaviour, he's just racist and edgy.
Are the axolotl's having a seance in the background?
Yes 😈😂
Racist, sexist, ableist rage bait is SO LAZY.
Ragebait is partially why I'm in a sensory/information burnout as an AuDHD person. I don't watch tv, but I watch A LOT of RUclips. I say I don't watch the news because it makes me too anxious as someone who's hypersensitive, yet most of the content I watch (because the algorithm picked up on a handful of videos I enjoyed a while ago) is drama and negative topics with flashy titles. It's just EVERYWHERE. I've been looking for more comforting/positive content, but it's way less popular. I'm responsible for my own media consumption, and sometimes it goes into self-sabotage territory, but social medias and content creators definitely weaponize our tendency for drama and negativity online.
So long story short, my body now gives me fight or flight response when I'm scrolling online and we should definitely put the phone down to read a book, mend our clothes, play with our pets, ...
I recommend picking your hobby and trying to find youtubers who also are into your hobby. My favorites for cozy content are:
Nerd Forge
Almost every single member of Hermitcraft
Gab Smolders, specifically the cost games lol
Smosh
Girl with the dogs, her second channel especially
Midwest Magic Cleaning, if you check him out tell him I say hi he likes knowing where new viewers come from
Dewlan
Rachel Maksy
How to Cook That
Caryn and Connie Gaming
Skeptical Nessie
Pirate software
There's so many good creators out there. I hope at least one of these helps you break up some of that negative scrolling cycle. I also avoid the news and I spend almost 24 hours a day on youtube, including when I fall asleep, there's always something playing. It's the background noise of my life. Don't let the negative stuff be your background noise.
Omg are you me cuz literally same lmao. I've been trying to back down off a lot of the bigger drama videos cuz they started triggering some of my own past trauma so I've tried to stick to more trivial things that don't really matter and funny videos. Or really long gaming videos cuz they are great background noise while I'm doing what I need to. It really helped taking back topics that would get me heated or start overthinking too much. It's been rough with so many RUclipsrs getting exposed recently too.
@@AshChiCupcak Video game theory is a lot of fun too, and often more positive since it's people discussing games they love! But yeah, RUclips is rough these days 😓 Hope you get better as well!
I'm AuDHD too and feel the same way! One thing that helped for me is transitioning partially from RUclips to podcasts. That way I can have something on while I do other tasks so it's way more productive, no eye strain from staring at a screen, and wayy smaller chance of getting sucked into the algorithm rabbit hole.
@@ragdollrose2687 I love anything that has to do with videos games, definitely a special interest of mine. I highly recommend Josh Strife Hayes if you've never seen him. He has a great "was it good" series for old games and "is this the worst mmo". He also just uploaded 2 70+ playthroughs of Morrowind and New Vegas that are just perfectly chaotic. It's hard to find gamer content creators these days who are so well mannered and well spoken and not screaming at the game all the time or being mad for no reason. I'm getting too old for all that craziness 😅
Anyone else always keep an eye on the plushies to make sure more aren't sneaking in? Thanks for another lovely video!
LOL 🤭
I beginning to think they may be multiplying on their own. 😲
Loving the pearly headband. A literal halo for a tattooed angel. 😇
Oh my 🥹😇
I got Anne Boleyn vibes. Very pretty.
Keep up the good work Lauren! You've been dropping so many amazing videos lately and so fast between each other! And I love that you're using your platform to raise awareness to people who are using theirs badly.
I don't normally comment but will here to push engagement because this is such an important message, not just for tattooing but in general and I feel you made the point so well in this video.
this look! the headband, the eye makeup, the top, it's giving goddess omggg so much love to you, excited to watch while i cook
I have been trying to decipher what your pillow says for a few vids now lol cosy crossed my mind as a potential choice but it made no sense to me but more so than cosx or cosv unless they were acronyms. Then it totally dawned on me that cozy is spelled as cosy in the UK which makes perfect sense why it'd be on a pillow. Btw my weedman got some fire bud rn 🤣
LOL it is indeed Cosy 😂🩷
I just went through this entire thought process as well... 😂
This look is giving gothic Anne Boleyn 🖤
Rage baiting just spreads hate whether intentional or not. Views and engagement are all some of these creators care about.
I'm early for once hehe
Really happy you made a specific video about this, I've noticed the way you got more and more fed up each time something was obviously fake.
I hate ragebait sm, as if there isn't enough anger in the world already 🙄
I feel you on the 'low effort creation blowing up' situation. I write fanfic and post to tumblr, about 5-6 years ago, i had an idea for a tiny 100-ish word piece of writing that took no more than 10 minutes to write and post in the middle of the night, and for years, that was my most popular post, and definitely most popular piece of writing. 10,000+ word stories I wrote bombed all the time, but that tiny low-effort drabble haunted my notifications for years.
This is one of the things I get so frustrated about I have clients that I tattoo who are African American and I’ve heard some horror stories just glad I can provide a safe space and new shop for them to come to this guy definitely shouldn’t be at the level he’s at sure his tattoos look fire from the video but also he can be doing this 1) with out the clients knowledge 2) still racist even if he claims not to be then why do it and 3) even if it gets you clicks and shared it’s not something you should be promoting in any shape or form also shout out to all the minority artist the industry definitely has changed for the better but this is still a problem smh let’s strive to do better with LGBTQ+, women, and minorities everyone deserves a safe space to get inked up
Thank you for providing a safe space for us. I’m very new to the tattoo world and only got my first two tattoos last year. I was SUPER nervous trying to find a shop who did the type of work that I wanted but also a place where I felt welcomed (I live in the South so that makes it even harder).
Luckily I did a lot of research and found a shop that’s perfect for me and can’t see myself going anywhere else. All of this to say we really appreciate the people doing the work to make tattooing an inclusive industry.
Ink Master has always made me nervous about running into covert or subtle bigotry and I've been fortunate. But it's still a concern playing in the back of my mind. I completely agree that it's so frustrating seeing stellar artists struggle while this prick doesn't.
your eye makeup in this one is SO GORGEOUS!!!! your makeup in general is always beautiful but woowww blown away
I'm not really surprised, a lot of eastern europeans have never seen a black person IRL and a lot of them just don't really see it as a serious issue due to being so far removed. Not that it makes it okay, but it's really not surprising at all. Doubt any of his local clients care at all.
Ugh these are like the gross food rage bait vids only worse! Just gotta put the phone down and walk away sometimes
as a Russian-speaking person from Eastern Europe I can tell you that the n-word issue and all the intricacies of its usage here are either not common knowledge or simply disregarded, since people of colour make up such a small percentage of the population. if anything, young people will use the n-word thinking it's 'cool' cause it gets them attention rather than to necessarily insult a POC. this guy is 100% rage-baiting but I just wanted to point out that culturally among Russian/Slavic language speakers the attitude and intent towards this word is a bit different than it is in the West
i was about to comment the same thing. Like, it shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is. For example, my relatives think it's politically correct to use the n-word rather than saying "black person".
@@junoxmusicdo they hate POC or they just use the word? I’m just curious
@@Chillikilli i'm not completely sure, but most of them have never met a black person
I just find that incredibly...dumb? Are you talking about people who've never been on the internet at any point in their lives? Because if not, how can you observe black culture enough to take it (me @ every single nonblack rapper, including the russian ones) but not to know NOT to say the n word???
ooh im early, a treacle tatts video to entertain my evening, couldn't think of anything better :0

The bath thing cracks me up!
Did not know the definition of rage bait so thank you for that.
The inky bath bomb was funny

The fake tattoos get so silly and scary it gets so many views

Oh thank you so much 🥹🩷
@@treacletatts seriously, you’re my comfort RUclipsr that I listen to when I’m laying in bed at night trying to unwind. You’re so appreciated!! Much love from California
As a junior tattoo artist this is heartbreaking and frustrating to see. I recently had to quit and find a different job because I too was among the struggling tattoo artists, and seeing someone basically get away with such heinous behaviour and racism is incredibly upsetting. I can only hope that tattoo artists like this will be boycotted because they do not deserve the trust and support of their clients and fellow artists
Thank you for covering this 🖤 what he's doing is not okay. I hope his career goes to hell 🤗
Maam please dont take away from your talent, skills, and dedication of your job. You are amazing and I am always incredibly engaged by you and I absolutely love how you inform us on tats. Much love. ❤️ 🫶🏾 And yeah, this person…. 🤦🏾♀️
Sociopaths have always been the successful rich ones because they’re willing to step on everyone other way up and punch down when they are on top. Maybe over time, social media will change that and we’ll encourage engagement with the nice people.
Controversy attracts more attention than decency. Kasim seems like the Ann Coulter of tattoo artists. Saying crazy stuff to get attention instead of being a good person.
I love how frequently you’re uploading videos in the past few weeks! :) it makes me so happy to see you because darling you spark 💖
First, thank you for covering these topics. You are providing valuable insight and thousands of people can watch your video instead of giving these disgusting people views!
Second, it's so true about looking at people's socials and see if their [sh*tty] values are hidden there. I have a friend whose husband is a tattoo artist. He's very talented, and as I was looking through his FB, I saw a Confederate flag front and center on one of his clients. Now, there was no description on if the artist did that or it was there previously (the whole arm looked healed), but I wouldn't want to get tattooed by someone who tattoos said things, or would tattoo a person who has such things. Glad I looked deeply at his portfolio!
Yeah I never watch clickbait on the actual channel where it's posted, I prefer to get the highlights secondhand from another source.
And yeah there's always people who are so credulous they really shouldn't be left unattended or they'll spend the household budget on magic beans
Being racist in Russia won’t end anybody’s career unfortunately. He’s probably never touring in Europe or USA so 🤷🏻♀️, I don’t think he profits from having this huge international following anyway so I don’t even know what all this attention and rage bate videos are for
for me it feels like there is no racism towaards black people in Russia. But there is for sure racism in Russia, just not towards african-american black... or... I honestly do not know what words to use to be correct here. There is racism but towards people who are much closer.
Uh maybe to bring awareness to this problem? Regardless of whether or not it “hurts” his career (which it still possibly could considering social media is international), there is still the rage bait problem. So, yeah that’s what all this is for.
@@annafareast5053Two things can be true, specific countries can have internal issues but also, as a society antiblackness can be enacted by anyone, even other poc.
@@princessmiaxo why exactly THAT racism is more important? Usually people know about US problems, a bit about Europe problems, but you don't care to know about other countries and you just judge. Why is black racism is more important? Why it has to be the most important for the country that never had problems with black people. You talking about society but you always talking about the specific problems and never think that some problems may be more important for different countries. Even racism in different countries is different, it's not always against black people
@@annafareast5053
1) Where did I say it was more important? Oh right. I didn't.
I literally said 'two things can be true' which is the DEFINITION of not lowering the specific bigotry others face. You just made shit up.
2) Where did I say I don't care about other country's problems? Oh yeah, didn't say that either!
I just brought attention to the fact that antiblackness is committed even when the overarching issues in a country are with other ethnicities or even other white people.
3) This is, quite literally, about us. It's the N word, not the K word, G word C word, nobody else's slur. It's about a specifically antiblack slur. THAT'S why I brought up antiblackness. Don't ask why I'm "making this about me" when it IS about me.
girlll! your makeup is so well done!! and it goes really nicely with your hair, you’re doing amazing and you’re a joy to watch!
Not watched the video yet but I just love the reminder to get my drinks and snacks sorted before I settle in
I saw the Adidas slipper one and thought it was really. I remember thinking, whatever floats your boat and moved one with thinking about it again 😅
Disgusting. I totally agree with your end rant, its depressing and has always been this way unfortunately. The way we engage with content (basically rewarding rage bait and these kind of people) has to change.. These people will keep doing what theyre doing and keep succeeding.. I hope people collectively unfollow him..
As a Romani gypsy, I do not consider the word gypsy a slur. I understand why some may refrain from using it, but I think it’s a little silly. No hate btw I love your videos just my take on the word.
20:21 absolutely agree Lauren. And it’s disgusting. Bad people succeed every day, getting media attention, lots of money etc. A certain unroyal couple is a prime example of that. Why does humanity allow it to continue? It never ends. 😡
Reminds me of a movie or show I saw where there were two tik tok creators who were trying to get more and more clicks, so they did live shows where the audience got to decide what they were going to do.
Stuff like riding on a motorcycle and the driver was blindfolded while his gf relayed where to turn.
Your makeup is always so pretty!!
A former coworker, who is from russia, once told me that it is actually rude to call someone black in russia and instead they use the n word. I don't want to defend anyone, just want to share that bit of information I once got from someone who definetely is not racist and one of the nicest persons I ever met.
Your outfit and makeup today! Showing of my absolute favorite tattoo of yours!
I've seen that reel and never realised it was you, that was hilarious, I loved it.
im glad most of the ragebait i see online is just people wasting food to make some gross meal or people doing something fake and never the racist rage baiters
Every time we think the dregs of the tattoo world can't sink lower, some determined clown will find a way. 🤦♂️
It's a weird experience to see someone I think so highly of showing me so many new people to despise! 😂 Love you anyway, Lauren! 😂
“Determined clown” LOL some sassy shade there Josh 😂🫶🏻
love your content sm, getting my regular lesson on everything tattoo-related before scheduling a new appointment
The thing I think about whenever I see any of these ragebait, engagement above all type of artists, aside from the obvious bigotry in this one guy's case, is... if they'll do XYZ stupid thing to get attention, what happens when that no longer works? Or when they can't get friends or clients to consent to being in their joke ragebait videos? Do they value engagement above giving me the tattoo I want? Would they decide to fuck around with me as a client if it meant they'd get a few more views? Engagement farming, IMHO, eats away at the trust between the artist and the client, because the more desperate the artist is for engagement, the clearer it becomes to the client that they're no longer the prioity in the tattooing process: the anonymous Tiktok or Instagram audience is. The clicks are. The comments and engagement are. Personally, I'm not prepared to trust someone with priorities that out of whack to make permanent marks on my body, and I don't think I'm alone in feeling that way.
I love your nail shape, they suit you so well 😍

Thing is, this won't stop until inclusive artists are uplifted so much their online presence drowns out the bigots. Is there a database of green flagged artists yet? A worldwide database of tattoo artists that make an effort to tattoo on all skin tones, be safe to go to if you are queer and or trans, accessible, etc.?
It is like this makeup influencer Mikayla, people keep saying she has learn nothing about previous “mistakes “ but I think she is really smart because people are talking drama about her every day!!! Until now I didn’t even comment about her because I knew it would just keep the thing going on…
Treacle, when you talked about how your cheeky reel/tiktok got more views than any other piece of content that you have poured your whole soul into producing kind of broke my heart. It’s frustrating thinking about how much effort people put into crafting and curating their social media presence and how easily it can be overshadowed by a single viral moment.
Remember you posting the Russian tattoo artist on Instagram.
Went to the page and blocked the person.
Your art can be the best of the best, I would never want to have a tattoo by you.
So I prefer to block those artists, because I might not remember in a few years and come across the profile again.
So grateful for people like you that call them out🙏
At least we know who he is, now. Probably wouldn’t affect his business given his location, though.
This immediately made me think of a specific artist. I can't remember his name but I think he's been in one of your tiktok reaction videos or something. All of the videos I've seen by him are him recreating interactions with clients (or potential clients) and making fun of them in the process. Whether he doesn't like the tattoo idea they have or their lack of tattoo knowledge. If you're actually a talented artist maybe you should use your ART to get noticed, not your shitty attitude.
Edit: There's a story (or whatever they're called) on snapchat that are compilations of his tiktoks. I have to keep blocking it because either the name changes or new accounts are being made. Go away!!
Oh I feel like I'm thinking of the same dude, does he specialise in traditional kind of tatts?
Thank you for covering this
I absolute love the way you say Adidas.
I just want to mention the first girls name was Gipsyg… no “Gipsy”, so I do wonder if that is her actual name and not meant to be a slur. It did seem as though she was not English or American.
Have (unfortunately) “had to” unfollow some artists whose work I admired and actually got work from due to troubling remarks/videos that slowly showed their true colours. The thing is, when taken as a single video/clip, some of these red flags can just seem like an “of, that maybe should have been thought through/edited a bit more carefully before posting”; thinking, HOPING, it was a mistake or they didn’t realize certain connotations and then were informed and educated. But when you start either looking over their whole profile or, sadly, happen to follow them (thinking they were a reputable artist/decent human being) and notice all the innuendos… it’s just disheartening. Then you wonder “do I state I’m unfollowing and maybe bring attention to it?” or just unfollow and block and don’t give them the interaction? I feel like the “big names” (like the artists with lots of followers and some “industry clout” making a comment does help. It can help someone who’s just scrolling through and not really paying attention to the background or has their sound off (yes, both of those are me) notice the red flags. It’s just so sad to feel like all of the inclusive progress, bringing the tattoo industry out of the back-alley/“members only” mentality, highlighting the incredible art form/form of self expression it is is being lost.
I love your videos and your personality is so contagious!
Oh you 🥹🩷
Oh shoot I ate my snacks before clicking on the video 😂

You always look so good! I could never have an ass hole mark my body permanently. I think I would be willing to go to an artist that may be a bit less good for exemple but that is kind hearted. I would not want his "energy" on me forever.
The same thing happens with what I write on Twitter. My laziest posts get the most engagement.
Lovin the bronze look lately 🖤
Fact the first girl has an antiziganist slur in her username I would venture is the sort to post a lot of ragebait unless she is truly unaware of the harmful connotations of it. I thank you very much for addressing that it can be offensive to many Rromani and chose not to use it in your video
As a Russian speaker, unfortunately, a lot of Russians don't realise how problematic this is. I saw quite a few people like this in post-soviet countries who think racism is just an edgy joke...
It’s so childish too, like this is the type of shit that usually gets dug up from high school or college not grown man activity. Like twelve year olds giggling about saying curse words when they’re out of adult earshot but it’s a grown man with a platform spreading hate
serving unreal looks every video💅
Answer: yes!!!
Love your videos, Lauren 💖💖💖
why do people comment on obvious rage bait posts...? do those people think they hurt his feelings by calling him racist and embarrassing? trust me, youre just helping him by giving him EXACTLY what he wanted. its not that hard to ignore the post, unfollow and/or block.

Oh you’re too kind 😭🩷
Content creation is so weird. Like we have to try so hard and also not try at all somehow. It’s all about games and schemes and making everything a joke. I get way more engagement on my tattoos just by having a silly little clip of myself in the beginning because people care way more about art when they find the artist attractive. We can’t just do art anymore. Gotta be funny, interesting, attractive, and being good at the art you’re doing is a plus but not even a requirement.
4:00 omg why is this so freaking real?😭
I remember back in 2019 i saw this funny tiktok sound and made my own silly little video about it - video was about a cat sitting in the closet and fittingly my parents cat used to go into my closet all of the time and so i took the video, literally midst conversation and while just being in undergarments and posted it without editing.
I had maybe like 200 followers back then and this shit blew up like - my no effort vid gets over 100k likes but my 3 hour makeup look content is not even seen by my friends... ok algorithm ;-;

i've been working on editing together something about MY OWN "tattoo regret"
Getting a slur tattooed on your finger is one of the most pitiful things I’ve seen. I can’t believe he thought it was a good idea.
