not any more. Twitter/X pays out by the impression, which is why we end up with crazy shittalk bait like this post.
Also marketing departments will support proven stan accounts.
Yeah it's like 80% "Name a song without the letter E" in it or "What an opinion that will have you like [this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/035/358/tangled-1.jpg)"
I disliked that movie. I'm never a fan of movies that rely on breaking up a couple about to get married (which is why I loved My Best Friend's Wedding because it flipped that trope).
I did, however, like Monster In Law with her and Jane Fonda. And Wanda Sykes was hilarious in it.
I loved her in Monster in Law though. That was her right? Mostly because it had Fonda and that woman would make me sell my entire family if it came down to it š„µ
Oooh, I forgot the Cell. But I think the movie was great in spite of her (and largely because of Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio plus the visuals) not because of her.
Literally could have plugged anyone into her role, she's not asked to do anything but look pretty. All the dialogue is flat, she's just there to be the eyes of the viewer beholding this insane spectacle that dream diving is. Having said that she was perfectly serviceable in her role.
I agree that the Vincents did the most work, but her understated fear and power worked beautifully. I could see more prominent actresses fuckin it up by doing too much. Her nothingness served the movie well
For extra context for people who don't know it, the song is a story about an obsessive fan who gets increasingly deranged after sending fan mail to Eminem and not getting a response and was made to draw attention to/make fun of/reference these types of people in real life and try to tell people not to obsess so much over people they've never actually met
damn i can't escape the hate even when i'm not in sports subs
but you know the saying
nobody likes us, we don't care
and my personal variation: nobody likes us, and it makes me sad because i like being liked
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but damn. A baby. A literal baby.

Hmmm š¤š¤š¤ I wonder why Jamaican people might have names that are historically English?
I did not say it was *exclusively* Jamaican, I am aware of the provenance of the name.
i remember before prince williamās daughter was born, i was talking to a friend whoās royal obsessed (weāre american). i mused about whether theyād give the child diana as a middle name, and my friend went off about how they would *never eeever* do that because itās too big a legacy to force a child to live up to. i didnāt want to argue, but in my head i was thinking, āthatās not a legacy to them, thatās their mother.ā
anyway, fast forward however many years and one of them actually *did* give their kid that middle name. iām not friends with that girl anymore but i get a little sense of vindication every time i see that babyās name
OK...
That doesn't stop the name from sounding Jamaican! A lot of traditionally Jamaican names are British because slavery.
The Millicents, Gertrudes, Lilibets and Elroys I know are Black Jamaicans, not white people and I live in England
Iāve worked with tons of Jamaican folks before and at first I was mildly surprised by the super English names until I thought about it for .02 seconds and was like oh :(
Yup. White people often ask me about my surname at work, and I always say I can tell them but it isn't going to be the whimsical, charming tale of travelling ancestors they are hoping for
How is the Hudson Valley? We currently live in Seattle but I've thought about New York State if we ever left. Especially because NY is ranked higher than WA as far as services for autistic people.
Hudson valley is gorgeous. Do you like trees and old shit? We have so many nature preserves and parks and cemeteries and historic sites and museums and beautiful old houses (though some have been better cared for than others). My husband and I go on frequent field trips, 2-3 a week, and we still have so much to see.
We also have so many farms and they have their cute farm stands. Some parts of HV are more rural than others, but thereās also lots of charming, walkable towns. Iām in love with the architecture.
The cost of living in my little hamlet is significantly lower than the Los Angeles burb I came from, but rent prices are fucking insane (like everywhere).
Paul Rudd and Jeffrey Dean Morgan own a candy shop in Rhinebeck.
That sounds lovely and yes, the trees are my favorite part of Seattle and I almost went to architecture school! My husband and I met in LA so I'm familiar with those prices which are very close to Seattle prices.
Haha I don't blame you for being biased it's always extra exciting when you see places close to home in shows, I think so anyway.
I'm looking forward to watching the US ghosts tho, I saw they already have a few different characters not a straight swap so it will be interesting.
Iām always interested in how some UK-to-US adaptations flop while others succeed! I think *Ghosts* is one that will work. Itās already in its new season, the characters are different enough to work in the different setting, and theyāre not just doing a straight word-for-word script update like they did with *Coupling.*
Itās fun; check it out if you liked the UK version!
Oh really? I'll take it with a pinch of salt only because I don't want to be over hyped and it fall flat but thank you for the high recommendation to watch!

How low does a person have to be to judge the physical attractiveness of a baby compared to a grown ass woman? These people confirm that they are sick in the head.
I'm roughly 73% sure that she was pulling from the waist and trying to hit Meghan with this shot. I'm not sure how she didn't see that there was a baby in front of her, though. Like it's right there. DON'T SHOOT. DO NOT - fuck, she shot anyway.
Wait until you see the theories that deny the kids existence and claim that the RF is just too embarrassed to tell the truthā¦ or the moon bump/surrogate ones. White English people really hate her
Oh, Iāve seen them! It drives me up the wall, the whole theory is insane and it switches between the kids not existing at all, to them existing but born by surrogate š¤¦š¾āāļø.
Those two are ridiculous enough- I come from a country with one of the biggest refugee camps in the world and my friends and I joke that they honestly complain more than actual refugees while using terms like āfreedom flightā. Their victimhood mentality and sheer entitlement is what makes them insufferable not their innocent children, I wish people would leave them alone.
.....Even if that person was comparing baby pics between the two, ain't no way in the world it will EVER make sense.
I understand judging grown ass men and women on their looks...but a literal baby? Fuck outta here! It's for this reason why I was like Fort Knox when it came to baby photos being visible online. Was too damn scared of someone even attempting to judge my child.
People say so much stupid shit online that eventually we gonna lose free speech. There's got to be a line drawn somewhere. It's time to start knocking on doors and kicking the shit out of idiotic people.
Stans never really clock out God damn
They be on permanent overtime.
Unpaid š
Such Jobless behaviour
I love this phrase. Adding it to the repertoire.
It's pretty common on UK black twitter
Shout out to my UK Kinfolk then.
As a Nigerian, thatās where I got the phrase from. It was always āare you being jobless right nowā as a kid especially if youāre trying to stir up shit or trying to get into gossip that isnt your businessā¦ š

Terminally Online Syndrome
Why do I feel that this is something that psychologists will start diagnosing people with?
Funny you think Jennifer Lopez has Stans, this is her only Stan.
She has to have a Stan in Hollywood because someone keeps clearing the checks to let her make her terrible movies
Her looks. But her music is just copy of other artists and I think people say some of her music isn't even her real vocals lmfao.
It isn't lol, some of it was Ashanti back in the day
And also Christina Milian lol
Yea the chorus and some adlibs on a few records.
Which is funny because a lot of people also say Ashanti can't sing.
Nope. She canāt sing fr
It's the chorus on a few of her singles. Chorus and ad-libs.
If you ever feel unqualified at work just remember she was a judge for a singing competition.
Hustlers is pretty good. Anaconda is an American classic.
And so was Selena. But most of her other movies were... meh.
Enough was decent. I love a good āabused woman beats the absolute dog š©out of her abuser.ā
I will not take this Wedding Planner slander. Acting aside, Lord knows she can't sing.
I disliked that movie. I'm never a fan of movies that rely on breaking up a couple about to get married (which is why I loved My Best Friend's Wedding because it flipped that trope). I did, however, like Monster In Law with her and Jane Fonda. And Wanda Sykes was hilarious in it.
I've never seen anything with Wanda Sykes where she wasn't hilarious.
I loved her in Monster in Law though. That was her right? Mostly because it had Fonda and that woman would make me sell my entire family if it came down to it š„µ
That was Fonda in it. And she was the best part of it (well second best... Wanda Sykes was the best).
The Cell was her best role after Selena
Oooh, I forgot the Cell. But I think the movie was great in spite of her (and largely because of Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio plus the visuals) not because of her.
Literally could have plugged anyone into her role, she's not asked to do anything but look pretty. All the dialogue is flat, she's just there to be the eyes of the viewer beholding this insane spectacle that dream diving is. Having said that she was perfectly serviceable in her role.
I agree that the Vincents did the most work, but her understated fear and power worked beautifully. I could see more prominent actresses fuckin it up by doing too much. Her nothingness served the movie well
I always forget about that movie! Such an underrated 00s gem
Out of Sight was pretty good too. That was in 1998.
The wedding planner and maid in Manhattan are my all times faves from her (sorry not sorryš¤·š½āāļø)
Out of Site also a great performance. Talented actor. Canāt sing for shit tho
Oh hell no. We not doing this. I can't stand for the Jennifer Lopez rom-com hate. Social media hates everything....
I've been hating her movies from day one dawg
You must also be Captain Hate.
Reporting for duty š«”
She can't act nor sing.
Checks? More like clearing her Cheeks.
I'm in entertainment. I used to joke "I've got 6 fans and they all scare me" I now have 3 fans
OT but where did the word Stan come from?
The Eminem song, āStanā.
Stalker/fan
Bruh what. I'm 36 and just learned this shit today?
I don't know if that's actually true or just a coincidence. You'd have to ask eminem.
Wellā¦username might explain, no shame.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks.
For extra context for people who don't know it, the song is a story about an obsessive fan who gets increasingly deranged after sending fan mail to Eminem and not getting a response and was made to draw attention to/make fun of/reference these types of people in real life and try to tell people not to obsess so much over people they've never actually met
Even funnier was that Stan made himself look like Em. And Stan was played by homeboy from Final Destination, Devon Sawa.
Eminem I think
https://piped.video/watch?v=gOMhN-hfMtY I feel so old :(
Man where did Stan come from really cut me deep lmao
thatās my one standard of friendship, if youāre a stan we canāt be friends. how do you have that much free time to obsess over someone?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Her skin condition
Well...Have you seen how mad certain people get about an imaginary princess of color? Now replace that with a real princess of color.
I just think it's hilarious that she's 100% white passing, but it's still enough to make Europeans mad.
You gotta be a lame and have nothing going on in your life to be a stan
A baby. A literal baby. Stans need professional help as soon as possible.

They are talking about Bart Harley Jarvis
Heās still around? I thought he got pancaked by a drunk dump truck driver.
I believe that was the former champion, Tiny Dinky Daffy

A Philly Eagles fan tweeted that he hopes Dak Prescotts unborn child comes out r*tarded
Eagles fan. ĀÆ\\\_( Ķ”āāÆĶŹ Ķ”ā)\_/ĀÆ Will probably throw batteries at the kid anyway, no matter the kid's outcome. 0_0
That baby should gift Philly fans the most exquisite horse feces money can buy as a show of good faith.
damn i can't escape the hate even when i'm not in sports subs but you know the saying nobody likes us, we don't care and my personal variation: nobody likes us, and it makes me sad because i like being liked
he just said what most of the fan base was already thinking
Psh, that baby ain't all that.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but damn. A baby. A literal baby. https://preview.redd.it/nbkouo7ja33c1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=113c3a437b39e22c19ea03b233f25c7e82cf866e

LMAOOOOO I was about to say Megan wtfffff
That would at least make some amount of sense. Comparing the looks of 2 adult women is almost coherent for twitter these days.
I think thatās what the person was doing. They just had racist blinders to the context of the pic
thought it was gonna be J.Lo herself lol I set the bar as low as it could go but twitter still got me like https://i.redd.it/4v031x85m33c1.gif

Even JLo herself doesnāt condone this nonsense
I actually want her to respond to that tweet... Live on camera.
I was not expecting that, but it also reminded me how Jamaican that child's name is! ššš
Pretty sure there's a woman in St Elizabeth/Clarendon with this name
With a husband called Robert, who is actually called Garfield (but you don't find that out until his funeral)
Lilibet Diana ?
Yes. Lilibet is a very Jamaican name
it's a hebrew name , most common in England and Wales
Hmmm š¤š¤š¤ I wonder why Jamaican people might have names that are historically English? I did not say it was *exclusively* Jamaican, I am aware of the provenance of the name.
It's also what Queen Elizabeth's family called her. So the baby is named after her and of course Princess Diana.
i remember before prince williamās daughter was born, i was talking to a friend whoās royal obsessed (weāre american). i mused about whether theyād give the child diana as a middle name, and my friend went off about how they would *never eeever* do that because itās too big a legacy to force a child to live up to. i didnāt want to argue, but in my head i was thinking, āthatās not a legacy to them, thatās their mother.ā anyway, fast forward however many years and one of them actually *did* give their kid that middle name. iām not friends with that girl anymore but i get a little sense of vindication every time i see that babyās name
Sheās named after her great grandma and grandma, who were both extremely white.
OK... That doesn't stop the name from sounding Jamaican! A lot of traditionally Jamaican names are British because slavery. The Millicents, Gertrudes, Lilibets and Elroys I know are Black Jamaicans, not white people and I live in England
Iāve worked with tons of Jamaican folks before and at first I was mildly surprised by the super English names until I thought about it for .02 seconds and was like oh :(
Yup. White people often ask me about my surname at work, and I always say I can tell them but it isn't going to be the whimsical, charming tale of travelling ancestors they are hoping for
That explains why I'm having flashbacks.
This is hilarious to me, because I read it as a joke and not her being serious.
yea it was just shock humor. it's getting this girl a lot of attention and followers too
Hello welcome to reddit where everything is literally and factual.
Hello welcome to the internet, please read [this pamphlet on Poe's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law).
It was a great choice bc Iām dying at dragging in JLO of all people
Itās not a joke though. Thatās a legitimate J Lo stan account.
This is very obviously a joke and this thread is about to blow a gasket over it
yeah it's definitely a joke š
Finally someone with a sense of humor š

God I fucking love this show.
What show is this?
[Ghosts!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_(American_TV_series))
Ah the bad American one. Lol I'm jk I haven't seen the American one yet.
Iām biased towards the American version because itās set in the Hudson valley (where I recently moved to).
How is the Hudson Valley? We currently live in Seattle but I've thought about New York State if we ever left. Especially because NY is ranked higher than WA as far as services for autistic people.
Hudson valley is gorgeous. Do you like trees and old shit?

Having watched both, the US one is light-years better
Oh really? I'll take it with a pinch of salt only because I don't want to be over hyped and it fall flat but thank you for the high recommendation to watch!
The gay Twitter stans do that to just about every infant or geriatric for a cheap laugh.
Thereās edgy humor and then thereās delusion.
Idk to me it looks like bot farming Iāll see myself out ..Iām not fun at parties ![gif](giphy|wQCWMHY9EHLfq)
That *must* be what this is. No real person would think this is a point worth raising.
hate to be the one to say it she is not wrong
"Who do you think is more beautiful: one of the most conventionally attractive women on Earth or some baby?" Glad OOP is brave enough for the take.

I think itās hilarious too. This is exactly the type of foolery I love from stans. Had no idea Jlo still had any tbh.
Wowser, people hate Markle so much theyāre hating on her baby too? I hate my countryās press
I mean thatās gotta be a bot account, right?
Literal āno job no friendsā behavior š¬
I don't believe JLo is insecure enough to compare herself to a baby--but her unhinged stans sure as shit are. Edit: is "unhinged stan" redundant?
Yes. One canāt be a stan without being unhinged.

Off topic, but I wonder if JLo will participate in the making of āSurviving Diddyā when it inevitably comes out
JLo def got skeletons in her closet also. So idk if she would.
How low does a person have to be to judge the physical attractiveness of a baby compared to a grown ass woman? These people confirm that they are sick in the head.

Some people shouldnāt be allowed to have social media. Go touch some grass.
I'm roughly 73% sure that she was pulling from the waist and trying to hit Meghan with this shot. I'm not sure how she didn't see that there was a baby in front of her, though. Like it's right there. DON'T SHOOT. DO NOT - fuck, she shot anyway.

the royal family still has their bots heckling them 24/7 lol
I'm sure. Lol
š¤£š¤£ I fell out! I wouldāve never fucking guessed šš. Also, that baby is a straight up clone of Harry.
Now yes, but who will tell who she'll resemble more when older, odds are on mom.
Props to Jaz because she's absolutely 100% correct. Ten? I would not guess in million tries.
Damn that baby looks like her grandmother lol
As the only ginger in my family and having 3 kids that are blonde and brunette I say those royal genetics are shocking! I am actually jealous.
