    You can still call her by her name. You don’t default calling Hugh Jackman “Wolverine” just because it was such a massive part of his acting career and the reason he is so famous.

      I dont want to know her name. I literally could not care less, until she does something worthwhile. For that matter, i wouldnt even ever refer to her as ‘hawk tuah’ if we werent having this conversation because shes really not worth talking about except to crtiticize her desperate attention seeking behaviour.

          She gave a three second interview that went viral, that shes now desperately trying to spin into merch, tv interviews, a podcast, and whatever else she can attach the ‘hawk tuah’ brand to. Thats pretty desperate. Shes like the new ‘cash me ousside’ girl, and i think its a gross side effect of our media and celebrity obsession that we shouldnt be glorifying or even humoring.

            By your definition, virtually every internet personality is a desperate attention seeker. If you want to see it that way then sure. But she’s been using her fame to actually do some good like donate to charity. She even acknowledges she’s just getting her 15 minutes of fame and wants to use it for something good. I’m not saying she’s perfect and I haven’t really been following her myself but you should at least acknowledge stuff like this.

            The video caption read: “If I only have 15 minutes of fame then I’m going to spend every last minute of it doing the right thing. Let’s try and find a home for these sweet lil cats & dogs”, she wrote. “Please head over to @mjasvolunteerorganization to get started!”

              Are you serious? She brings a couple hundred dollars worth of animal food to a shelter (on a live stream) and you think thats actually something notable? She definitely got more out of the publicity and ads than she even spent making that video. Thats literally attention seeking behaviour. And yes, 99% of internet personalities are also attention seeking individuals. Anyway this discussion isnt worth my time, im not gonna give her another seconds thought.

                I gave you an example just to provide more context of my point. If you want to avoid seeing or discussing her than that’s fine. Just ignore these kinds of posts. But at the end of the day, she’s a person not a meme that accidentally went viral. Just treat her as such. That’s literally all I’m saying.

                  And im saying its not at all accidental when she hired a publicist to promote ‘hawk tuah’ and named her ppdcast ‘talk tuah’. Its the identity shes chosen to adopt in the name of fame so she can lie in the bed shes made.

                    I’ll ask my question again. Do you call Hugh Jackman Wolverine because he’s used that role to further his career and personal wealth and marketed himself that way?
