    Make no mistake, she is super talented, as any D1 athlete is. But if you can't admit she's making 7 figures primarily because of her looks, you're delusional. I'm fine with it, but she is 100% objectifying herself (as many people do on social media).

    You are 100% responsible for the image you curate on social media. If you post images objectifying yourself, expect that others will also see you as a sexual object. A lot of athletes that are just as pretty and talented don't have these sorts of issues because they don't post content of this nature. She needs to decide whether she's ok with it, and if she's isn't....change her online image to focus on something other than her looks and body.

    • @aikaiai
      @aikaiai ปีที่แล้ว +23

      some people just post themselves for the sake of posting themselves. but that doesnt mean that they want to be harrassed. yes, the image she posts is her fault. but its not her fault that her "fans" come to the meet and harrass other athletes, thats completly beyond her power.
      There are other athletes that post their body online, but some get harrassed cause they dont fit the feminine petite body type, cause they have more muscles and buffer arms.

    This is a tough one that kind of goes both ways in my view. It's true that women shouldn't be made responsible for how others act. Just because they dress a certain way doesn't mean they should be subjected to creeps, stalkers etc online. That being said, she posts provocative pics in various skimpy outfits with the knowledge that these sorts of people exist and are watching. That sort of content will draw, not just wanted attention, but unwanted as well. In a perfect world, that wouldn't matter. The problem is we don't live in that world, we live in this one. There are a lot of sick people out there.
    My point is she's not new to this. She knows the kinds of pics she posts will get attention, both good and bad, and she still does it. She wants more followers and those pics are a way to get them. Those same pics bring out the creeps etc. In the end, if it was too much, she would stop posting them and eventually, I imagine it would die off. But she continues to do it. I'm not saying she shouldn't, I'm simply saying she feels the pros outweigh the cons. But if you complain about it while you are doing things you know simultaneously attract it, then I have very little sympathy for you. This is just my opinion.

      funny how men are able to post revealing pics and not worry about their safety/image, but as soon as a woman does it she's responsible for men acting like pigs publicly. Also, she's at most sexualizing herself, it's impossible to objectify herself. and men have the ultimate choice in how they choose to interact with her, unless you're saying they can't control themselves and are provoked by women dressing in skimpy clothing.

    She's pretty, but in a way where you could find a lot of other girls looking like,- at school. It's crazy how people will mount people up on pedestals and revere their para-social relationship. And Livy is wrong about girls not being responsible for what they post on social media. IF you're posting thirst traps and acting provocatively, then don't be surprised when viewers imagine you sexually.

      It is not so common among athletes of her caliber. She got both the pretty face, the toned healthy body, and knows how to act all charming and innocent, plus she knows how to put it out. There is a reason she gets so many viewers, it's not by random chance. I do not myself know anyone female of this caliber, and I know hundreds of women. Of course, I may pass some on the street, still, those are one in a hundred.

    The reality is she makes millions from people "objectifying" her. If she didn't work out, over ate, had 0 talent, wasn't an attractive female, and didn't post any social media her life would be completely different that's 100% certain.

Years from now , her looks might have changed and no one will care about her Gymnastic Accomplishments 30 years ago ! 200, 000 in a bank account with compounding interest in 30 years will be worth a lot ! Hopefully, she doesn't get drawn into the Playboy world !

      There’s no blame haha, but she knows what she’s doing. Built up a massive following which will only continue to grow, then start only fans once she graduates where she’ll make a killing

    She's obviously talented, an effective communicator, confident, and gorgeous! Those are the things you need to make 7 figures! You can factor in race as well, but that's optional.

    Looks like a young Denise Richards. She's unlocked the social media shortcut to fame and fortune, so good on her her for doing her thing and raking it in. Hope she keeps her head straight and continues to build on her success.

    Can you imagine how much more stuck on yourself you have to be to brand yourself on social media? It's a whole new level of narcissistic. It's really sick. Especially because, for the kids, they know nothing else.
