The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - #8 - Media - Tweets - IG - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - Discussion

Dear Kaitlyn,

You want cyber bullying? Try reading all the tweets to and about Caitlyn Jenner just from the ESPYs show last night. Then you can talk.

I really think she is none to bright.

The only role model I see Kaitlyn as is "what not to do" especially if on a tv show.

And the only advice I have is to stay off SM and stop reading through tweets and responding to one's that don't even have her username/handle in them.
That is just looking for the negative, imo, and then giving it attention.
Giving attention to h@ters is exactly what they want. They feed off being noticed.
Sadly, I think Kaitlyn feeds off of being noticed as well.

I'm sure that she has gotten pretty bad cyberbullying - it does suck to constantly be called a sl*t, wh*re, tramp, b*tch, etc for two months straight. You might say that she brought this on herself, but the very first Bachelorette had sex with two people and that trend has continued for pretty much all of them. It is unfair that she has had to deal with that in a way that other Bachelorettes hasn't had to, and certain ones, like Emily Maynard, got totally protected over that.

On the other hand, I do totally give her major side eye at the "If I can change ONE person's life". She said that on Periscope too, and I'm like "how does being sexually promiscous save anyone's life?"

Please Kaitlyn, get over yourself. SM people told Andi she killed Eric. Your drama is self induced. Get over your self and I agree with UMN, look at what Caitlyn Jenner is dealing with and with a lot more grace.

She is an ignorant little twit.

I think it's unfair to compare her to Caitlyn, since she spent decades of her life not coming out with this secret, mostly because she wasn't prepared to deal with the backlash. She wasn't even able to tell most of her own children because she was afraid of what they might say. She's had decades to prepare for people's harsh words and death threats and all.

I will also say that Caitlyn Jenner has a LOT of resources that Kaitlyn does not. I'm not saying money and a good PR team buys you security, but it certainly helps. She also has a lot more control over her docu-series that Kaitlyn ever did.

I do feel bad about her being called a sl*t and a bitch constantly. But Kaitlyn just seems annoyed people aren't praising her for being "real". She calls people out on twitter for posting relatively harmless opinions about her. 

ETA:Plus, she thinks it's okay for her followers to bully others. That's not being an advocate for cyber-bullying. She deliberately will make someone's twitter handle visible to her 200K followers.

Why would someone torture themselves by reading the rags, checking stuff on sm, replying to such? Certainly if this kind of stuff needed to be handled someone else could do it. Otherwise, why read, watch and respond?

Kaitlyn needs a good lesson on how to successfully deal with the "those who are not fans". Plenty of people from this franchise have had to deal with the same stuff and have been more gracious. Kaitlyn could save herself lots of trouble if she simply ignored, blocked, or muted these people.

Please, Kaitlyn is not exempt. Cyberbullying is everywhere and it is terrible but it is not exclusive to her. Go look at Nick's cyberbullying and negative tweets from people that say to run away from him, to how much they hate him and wishes this "Weasel" will kill himself, and how much they hate him and his family, and the side by side photos of Nick with evil characters posted etc, etc. Every Monday night that is what lights up on twitter regarding Nick, far more than Kaitlyn - she has a balance of top tweets being positive.

Furthermore, the media is painting Kaitlyn as an inspiration. They are not calling her names. Nick gets called names, made fun of in the media, and big names in media tweet memes about how disgusting a person he is and his character is just seen as low life and that is it.

Kaitlyn actually has a LOT of support from the media and Bach nation as a whole... she is just choosing to focus on the negative when the overwhelming re-tweets are positive ones (same goes for Shawn). When one responds to tweets that don't even have her handle/username in them then that to me is looking for them. jmo

JMO (and I do say this as a Nick fan) but it's hard to compare being called a "creepy loser" with being called a "trashy sl*tty b*tch wh*re".

I am talking about the viewers who tweet/comment that Nick should kill himself and how they hate him. There are plenty of those comments and tweets seen throughout this season.

Kaitlyn has viewers who tweet/comment similarly and about her being all those other names but she does not have one major media outlet or one bachnation person tweeting or commenting about her behavior in a negative light.
ALL of them defend her - even Nick.
