Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Specifically Twitter.. Anyone done this?

I was reading some really nasty comments yesterday about a Pakistani girl (her partner is famous) and was thinking wth?? There was a little group of Pak girls from the UK who were really slating her, basically calling her a sl*g for wearing a sleeveless dress during Ramadan (in their words she was ‘half naked’ even tho it was full length, not low-cut or anything, just sleeveless and this was for her birthday), saying she wore too much makeup, that her guy prob wasn’t the first she had been with and how could he marry her rather than a ‘good’ Muslim girl..

The funny thing was that the girl who’d called her up first on the dress was wearing sleeveless herself in one of her pics (same with a few of the others), likewise a hijabi girl who’d been slating her makeup was caked in white foundation and bright lipstick in her own profile pic..

I didn’t get involved in all this but I was tempted to.. What would you have done?

I wouldn't be bothered. Don't you know the internet is a breeding ground for hatred? (rhetorical question)

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Its people with too much time on their hands.

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

wow and calling an other person names and insults during ramadan is what a 'good muslim girl' does?

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Was it faryal makhdoom by any chance. felt like my sister was rambling about her yesterday..

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

^ that's who I thought of too when I read this post!!

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Its got nothig to do with what she wears but she is so annoying, im allowed to say this without any significant reason cuz im an internet prick :(

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Irony.

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Hurf-e-aam main aiso ko kaha jata hay, Jaahil!! Good you didnt take part!

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Lol she's the one who came to mind when I read the OP's opening post. I'm pretty sure it is Faryal Makhdoom that's being talked about. :D

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Should we really care about who she was?? You people are reacting like the ‘group of folks’ that actually criticized :smack:

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

I try to ignore it. I'm usually pulled into arguments that are political in nature so I've never really felt the need to defend a person. Good for you for staying out of it.

You don't seem happy about it, which is unusual. Embrace your Playa Hater status.

I also did think it was about her and I also find her annoying but I'm not gonna go out my way and search her on twitter and criticise OR defend her. I'm not a keyboard warrior but I'm not gonna defend a stranger or celeb.

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Yeah, it was Faryal..

I'm not a die-hard fan or anything (I don't have anything against her either).. The thing that grated on me I guess was that the ppl criticising her were doing the same, if not worse.. The swearing hijabi with the heavy makeup forwarding the insults to her other half and a few of their relatives/friends was really low as well..

(And as for the 'ironic' comment CM can't get much more ridiculous than the person who 'liked' your post.. Out of 100 posts maybe there are a handful where I've said things I shouldn't have done.. we all lose our cool sometimes but most don't bait or go after ppl obsessively)

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

Every article/news item about celebrities is filled with hateful and bashing comments.

Whether these celebrtities are from hollywood, Pakistan, Turkey or wherever in the world.

I stay away from such discussions,

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

OMG! You so right!

Pakistani and hijabi girls are bad, stay way from them.

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

^Err.. the 'victim' is a Pakistani girl, genius.. Also, I'm pro-hijab which u would know from my posts on GS so don't know why you're doing selective reading and trying to derail my thread..

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

were the bashing girls paki based pakis??

Re: Defending a celeb or stranger online..

people with too much time on their hands, I would suggest stay away, i am sure you have better things to do !!
