Personally I don’t think either action is “obnoxious”. She is being well-intentioned but silly. Highlighting her silliness is supposed to give people a chuckle. If you don’t want to be laughed at for being silly don’t post silly things on social media. That’s always an option.
Has political correctness actually gone mad?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Should also apply to things like` it's cold out. Sure you might think it's cold in the winter in Spain, but did you ever stop to think what someone from Siberia would think of that?
I wouldn't do what she's doing, but her point makes a bit more sense than this. It's not just about the weather and what cold and hot actually mean. In the southern hemisphere "summer" literally refers to our winter months. So if you say something happens this summer, then to an Australian that wouldn't mean in a year, but in a few months.
Sure, but that seems like a practical concern not really an inclusivity thing.
After Surgery!!!
Presumably when you are no longer raping.
You’re not only a rapist during the actual act of rape though are you?
Well I mean, I know an ex-bank robber personally and well he left that profession behind. In favour of becoming a weed-dealer. At some point it's in the past.
DM pretending it's never racist, with strange unbylined piece that even has a timeline.
Nailing the racism smear that the British media have downplayed the case of murdered teacher Sabina Nessa because of her colour

What a fecking odd piece to run. Surely they'd have been miles better off keeping their mouths shut.
Are you an ex-murderer if you're no longer committing murders, though?
IMO if you've ever raped someone, you're a rapist.
I was just being facetious.
Not a fan of Bill Maher(but wish him a speedy recovery etc), but I think he's right on the money here:
Disgraceful!
Can't even say you're English anymore without Gary Neville giving you half a man of the match award.
'I'm aware I'm a white British woman': Jesy Nelson addresses Blackfishing claims over her overhauled image - amid criticism following the release of her debut R&B single Boyz

What is 'blackfishing?'
It's where people try to appear black, despite not being black.
I'm not sure it's something that people are accused of that often or if many people are even making something out of it tbh.This world has really gone nuts...
I think this is the 2nd time I've seen it suggested and I can't say I see anything in those pictures to say it's something she's tried to do. I'm definitely not an expert though
Doing music that isn't opera or mozart apparently
Like C. Thomas Howell.
English, 100% caucasian.
I mean, it's not like braids aren't Caucasian.
Wow.
English, 100% caucasian.

Is identifying as other races still offensive then? I find the whole face offensive, yet another frozen generic face that is the current trend, unnatural browns, pumped up lips. I can see why she doesn't want to look natural though early years pic below.

Yep about 10 years ago probably
Yikes. She looks a bit like Lil Kim.
I love the latest quote from her.
The singer, who has collaborated with Nicki Minaj for Boyz, added that she was just resuming her sense of style from the days before her Little Mix fame and said she wanted to be "authentic and true" to herself, adding "don't be a part of my journey" to those who didn't like it.
So completely changed her face so she could be authentic
Must have a new album coming out and any publicity is good publicityWhat is this person’s name?
You should watch her documentary on her issues with her body image and the decade of cruel abuse she’s had on social media over her looks and her weight before you judge her too hard. She’s been depressed and suicidal for virtually the entire time she should be living her dream.
I understand the arguments of cultural appropriation that are being raised against her but I think people should also understand why she might have gone to these lengths to change her image. It’s not just some wannabe influencer making crude choices to gain attention, it runs a lot deeper than that, she’s got virtually zero self esteem and I can imagine that she’s probably feeling distraught that once again as she finds an image that gives her confidence to perform she finds herself on the end of the media and social media mocking and criticising her looks once again.
I feel genuinely sorry for her and think that if this is the image that gives her some body confidence she should be encouraged.
