She said “I’m not like other girls, I’m a cool girl, I’m the kind of girl Hitlers dream of.”
It's funny cuz just the other day she made a video on how she dislikes cool girls and how they're not authentic
She's the kind of girl Stalin dreams of
Yeah, if that's being a "cool girl" I'm happy not being one
She's the kind of girl TRUMP dreams of! YUCK!
One redeeming thing about Hitler is that he was more into wholesome women. So no, he wouldn't like her.
someone calling their younger partner an 'old soul' is an immediate red flag, run
Reminds me of when men in their twenties would call 14 year old me "mature for my age"
reminds me of the college students that try to hook up with highschool freshman cuz they're "not like other 14 year old" shits creepy
As someone with experience being groomed, can 10/10 back up that statement
She has actually said she goes after people who are much younger because they are easier to manipulate
@@saphirefalcon3090 can you explain this please? :)
She’s the female Onision. “Shallon” is even one letter away from “shallot”.
Or "shallow"
You guys are all liberals eating each other
😂😂
@@rockeducation8381 Eat me. 😂
@@dreamsicle3113 ew gross no
she said she wrote this when she was 24 I think, thats like 15 YEARS AGO!? how can she seem so much the same, like she has barely matured from this?
Unfortunately one of the defining characteristics of narcissism is that the people in question don't have the capacity to really genuinely make progress. They just get better at being a "chameleon".
Book came out 2011 I think
Big YIKES regardless
I’m loathe to picture that’s the case
She lied about her age by the way. She wrote that book at a later age 💀
"Unlike sex, no means no." Ummm No means No in all situations.
Agreed strongly
ESPECIALLY sex
yes.....I'm shocked someone could say, writte or think otherwise
unless you do consensual non consensual where saying " no" is part of roleplay and you have safewords
@@teedytat8147 yeah they have safewords with basically means "no"
The fact that she thinks a turban is as embarrassing as a Waffen-SS uniform is astounding and disgusting in equal parts
Agreed
I thought the same thing! Her way of thinking is so appalling.
Especially considering she wanted to be as 'white as an Aryan propaganda poster'
Wow where did she say this?
@@jfhdhxhyxydyd1130 22:38 she at least uses them like if they were somewhat equivalent
“unlike in sex, no means no” MY JAW *DROPPED*
same 😭
So did Shallon's brain.
@@dvffYT shes never had one
The way she says “the poor” like they’re some entirely different species?! God, what is wrong with her?
I mean, if you talk to anyone who is well off, they pretty much believe it.
Or if not a fully different species, then a subgroup who is so “lazy and entitled” that they barely deserve the scraps they get.
It’s the basic middle class (and higher) mindset. And it can be traced all the way back to when landowners had serfs working their fields and how even the foremen saw themselves as harder working and therefore superior.
I have been a Roma person since birth. Her stereotyping of us is gross and miss leading. Most of Us are no longer nomadic and even less of us actually practice witchcraft publicly due to our experiences being persecuted. Add that up with her strange remarks about Hitler and her fascination with being perceived as “Arian” is very off putting to me. She makes me very uncomfortable and I hope that one day she figures out how to be a human being with actual emotions, although I doubt it.
I didn't like her stereotyping all psychics either. I have been a professional reader since 2003 and I work with a group of other readers. We are all super ethical, many of us are in mainstream helping professions as well-
Also not all Roma people are Romanian
Madalin Grama I’m half Bulgarian half Romanian and Roma from both sides lol. I didn’t even realise how she dissed Romanian people in the same breath as Roma. She’s got some real issues.
I’m Romanian and at this point, g*psy is a slur. This lady is disgusting.
Bit of an old comment here, but it's Aryan, not Arian. Might seem to be a bit of an asinine difference, but an Arian is a person belonging to the Christian heresy Arianism, Aryan is the fixation of the Nazi ideology. It is definitely gross of her to be stereotyping people while putting an odd amount of focus on her "Aryan" traits though.
Say what you will about Shallon, but this book is too absurd to have been ghost written.
@AshleyWilliams hi fellow trojan. Fight on✌
I know right
The way she talks about homeless people makes me so uncomfortable. It’s like she thinks they’re her dogs.
Felix what you doing here?🤣
Ntsoaki Motapanyane I’m not felix I’m his friend
@@felixsfriendthatgavehimthe2108 right. Greet him for me😂
Ntsoaki Motapanyane lol sure
oI FELIX
It's super disgusting that she wanted to be sickly pale like Gerard was. He was sick and an addict who was suffering and struggling.
Ikr. I'm so happy he is doing better now.
for real, his skin tone looks way healthier in recent interviews
Oh that’s why he’s looked so sickly pale he looked dead in some pictures.
@@roosaheikkinen8468 Is that Gerard from My Chemical Romance?
He was so pale because of the makeup he wore. That's pretty well known.
"I'm the kind of girl Hitler daydreams about."
Weird flex, but okay.
I mean he might find that complete disdain for any kind of human that isn't herself pretty relatable..
The Senate will decide your fate
If you say so Mr senate
Unorthodox display of hubris but very well
it's not even true bc Hitler himself had a similar preference to her: young, unexperienced people he could mold to his liking. he actually had a creepy obsession with young women, including his own cousin (whom he treated so terribly she took her life in his home or attempted to? I don't remember, I saw the documentary about it years ago)
The whole book is like "so here are my prejudices"
making up racism against her😂
The most shocking thing about this book is finding out she has friends
She should have named her book, “Too Much Pride and Prejudice.” **ba dum tiss**
This kind of book really needs to delete part about that all inside really happened.
??? I doubt she’d get that reference. Jane Austen is far too intelligent for her pea brain to even begin to comprehend
her writing for african american dialogue sounds like its straight from "gone with the wind"
im surprised none of them called her “massa” lmao
@stairsimvidz Isn't that a classic, though?
@@MegaSpideyman ...ok??? Are you saying old classics can't have racist, stereotypical portrayals of african americns???
@@MegaSpideyman classic, YET racist.
@@rini9325 I haven't read it, so what do you think is racist about it?
I'm PUERTO RICAN and I can tell you, I have never wanted to lighten my skin. I have also never met any PUERTO RICAN woman who wanted to lighten their skin. WE are Caribbean and love our skin tone.
As a Puerto Rican Woman- No, we do not intentionally lighten our skin tones... We come in all colors, and we do not speak like "dis'll get ju white in no time" I- I just...I have no words.
This entire book should be burned, it is that terrible.
Or moved to the comedy isle
Latinas come in every shade. Shallon has a problem with Latinas. I think she hate us because maybe the guys she had like in the past have preferred Latinas instead of her.
For real? Here lighting the skin on purpose is such a taboo and seen as offensive.
Go cry
Fr like why do people think we hate our skin tones? Like all of the puerto rican girls I know who have dark skin dont even care about it
My internet cut out directly after Rachel quoted "And he's young, Just how you like em..." And it took me about 30 seconds to realize the silence was not Rachel failing to comprehend the disgusting and idiotic statement. I guess there's your sign.
Bruh, your internet took a few seconds to legit be like "Hol up"
TheTacosAreHere I am not defending her in ANY way I promise you, but older men have said the same shit to me right to my face.
Is anyone gonna talk about her weird hatred for selena gomez...
Scotty Jonson I mean based on her weird/gross obsession with Justin Bieber and her hatred of Latine/x people is it really that surprising?
She was super obsessed with Justin Bieber even when he was underage and at that time they were dating so not surprising, plus she’s confident and doing well with her life
I think it can be summed up by a combination of things;
1. Justin who she was crushing on as a grown ass woman while he was 16 - ew
2. The fact that she herself is obviously very insecure, something that she herself admits
3. Selena gained success while she was a teenager, while shallon's main accomplishments are small things like working on the Wendy Williams show or her failed reality television stunt, and at nearly 40 years of age has nothing to show for it.
I had a weird hatred for Selena Gomez but that was because she was mean to Hannah Montana in that one episode of the show lmao. I was 10 and like “You don’t diss my girl Hannah!! 😡😡😡” and I sorta carried that prejudice with me until recently. I know, I’m an idiot, but at least I never spread rumors about Selena.
@@talynhastime9343 that's cute lmso
My Chemical Romance fans stand up WE DONT KNOW HER
lappelduvide Gerard Way deserves so much better 😞
Close_to_the_Sun yes
As a huge MCR fan who is wearing a Black Parade shirt, MCR necklaces and chokers, MCR shoes, and my Black Parade Jacket right now,
*Yes*
Why is it always the problematic youtubers (trisha paytas cough cough) who are overly obsessed with gerard? It's so weird
@@bridesheaddeserted because they want to attract a new target audience of fans quickly, and they think teenage mcr fans are easy to manipulate and recruit as long as they pretend to be one of them.
I'm from Germany, her making jokes about being "hitlers dreamgirl" makes me so uncomfortable. It's just not funny. None of her jokes are. She comes across as utterly obnoxious.
I call her Shallow
Läster lmao
as a Polish woman I agree with you. This is downright insulting
Another fellow German here and I completely agree with you! I couldn't believe that someone would say something like that and this isn't the first time she has made weird comments about Hitler which is appalling!
And it's not even accurate.
I think jokes about Nazis are made all over the world. I mean here in Germany we also do. I think it can also be a way of coping with that part of history (and plus, by showing how ridiculous Nazi ideology was you might achieve to take away power from Neonazis, just mocking them) but there definitely is a difference between well placed satire and just pure disrespect. I mean if your only punchline is „haha Hitler“ that’s just so wrong, especially with that whole impersonating stereotypical accents and by that reproducing racist structures of white dominance..... anyway, my point is, it’s not essentially wrong to make a satire Nazi joke or even laugh about it as long as it doesn’t take over your whole content to the point where it’s just disrespectful towards victims and everyone still suffering from the Nazi time and the structures that already paved its way. ..
She sees herself as a Regina George, when really she belongs in mean girls 2.
Two Sad Apes 😂😂😂😂💀
Two Sad Apes lmao
That's the meanest thing you could say. I love it.
Coooooold bloooooded 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
As someone who's family was effected by the Hitler, her saying that she's the kind of girl Hitler day dreams about really makes me sick and makes my blood boil. Like what the hell! That's so insensitive
Funny, I am Polish Jew and my grandfather lost his mother and two older sisters in concentration camp. He was in British army, fought as paratrooper. But even after that he always hated Russians more and made jokes about war and Nazis. You could make edgy joke about Jews but he almost threw my father out of his house when he started to study Russian language.
Its so weird
I have a strong feeling that’s exactly why she’s doing it.
I have a hard time believing she’s anything more than a pizza cutter commenter. All edge, no point.
Why would anyone want to think hitler is into them
VERY disturbing to me how when she’s recounting what was “said” by black characters it’s written in a dated, jim crow dialect type of way. for example “get” turns to “git” as if that adds anything to the readability. as if when we talk it’s always in some sort of ebonics. sure, african-american culture spilling into language choices in everyday dialogue exists, but in her book it seems so forced and unnecessarily highlighted as though we need to think less of these characters because of the way they talk. this is absolutely unacceptable.
alternative title: I read shallon lester's book so you don't have to
So she wrote a book that manages to offend everyone. Here all the themes
-Racism
-Obsessions
-Insecurity
-Her lack of work ethic
-Her immaturity
-Her awful attitude
Aren't "predjudices of poor people"/"classism" and mental illness also to that list.
Also "homophobia"
Also fatphobia and probably much more
@girlredefined
I think it's more the type of insecurity Shallon is showing rather than insecurity itself. (Like the aggressive sort because she seems to belittle and pick fights with pretty much anyone as an attempt to boost herself up).
Don’t forget the part about sex and consent
Yeah.. The way she thinks that romanians = gypsies, is sooo ignorant.
The fact that she was sad she couldn't find homeless people to validate her and make her feel like a good person blows my mind.
i can’t believe this is the book she’s referring to when she brags about being an author 🤣🤣🤣
I'm almost certain Lester _wants_ to be hated. She's insecure, and probably thinks the only way she can be known is to be hated. There's waaaay too many jabs at every group of people in this book to be legit, I think she's just trolling. Honestly the best move is to give her no attention at all.
Lester and Paytas let's hope they dont come together and ultimate troll.
Sad thing is trolling has created and maintained a lot of ppls careers
I get Nicole Arbour vibes from her
i think she is really cool tho, and you all are a bunch of shallow losers and social virtue signallers but really your true face is much worse than hers, i litterally love her advice because it protects me against "angelic" and "hermoine" people like you
@@DarkKittycat Lmao you're too brainwashed to see her real self.
As someone who was "emo" in high school, and still actively takes part in alternative culture (I'm in my early twenties), the way she talks about My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way, and Goth people makes me really uncomfortable. While she was talking about her attraction to Gerard she still seemed to find ways to insult him, same with the entire band in general. The way she talked about goth people in high school was really disgusting. There's nothing wrong with finding a new sub-culture or style in your late twenties and changing to fit into that because you realizes that it would make you feel more lke yourself, but she's insulting that entire culture while doing it, and it's just proof of how ingenuine it really was. I really don't think Shallon even knows who she actually is.
ikr!! kind of makes me think of that one cn animator who wrote Tumblr posts thirsting about some emo teen she saw at a carnival and i remember her saying something like "wearing a t-shirt of a band that probably makes horrible music" like.. I can't put it into words but that thing of belittling someone or something WHILE lusting over it is so so so gross and weird
i’m a mcr stan and i just got really uncomfortable when she made a nazi reference in relation to gerard because it’s just like really shallon? i’m ten years younger than you and even i know that’s not chill at all.
She said in a video her crush was Frank
its always the blandest, most boring, unflavored-ass blonde white women making fun of anyone who doesn't look like bethany from girl defined.
I always found it extremely odd how she would go out of her way during her videos to say she was SUCH AN EMO GIRL and was SO INVOLVED IN THE SCENE even though just by judging her wine-mom aesthetic made me think she was the exact opposite of anything of such nature. She is way to shallow for the emo scene and embodies absolutely everything alternative kids hate about these blonde preps/Abercrombie and fitch scene from 2006. She clearly doesn't have an identity for herself which is very sad for a 40 year old woman.
The reason she can do charity and still come off as unlikable is because she’s a (self admitted) narcissist lol. Doing good deeds because she needs to be seen as good, not because she cares. This can be seen in the way she boasts charity work on her channel now. She uses it as a defense and bragging point. Because how could she actually be bad if she raises money for a homeless, black mom?
lmaooo exactly
Yup yup yup 👍🏼
Well id add re the giving food to homeless people she was not giving her own things or things donated freely. Stealing from anywhere to give is ethically wrong and morally dubious apart from being legally wrong obviously.
Also giving to charity or donating to ppl when its done with the intent of getting good publicity or having people view you in a good light is just yucky.
I watched Dr. Ramani's video on communal narcissists and Shallon ticks off all the boxes...
As a former hobo, I find her views and methods of interaction with the homeless to be not only distasteful, but also pure fallacy. Should the book have been published? No. Its tabloid garbage done in prose.
The fact that she is racist, makes slightly predatory comments and brings up the KKK and Hitler makes her just a terrible person. How can she think that that is in any regard appropriate. I am so shocked and offended
This is actually worse than I expected. I didn’t know anything could be lower than my expectations, but Shallon did it.
She’d be proud to hear you say that too
Took the words right off my tongue
Lmao when she goes for the intern she literally says in the next paragraph down she’s waiting like a predator for him in the lobby 😬😬 The only true statement in this book
the only explanation that explains why shallon is the way she is is because she peaked in high school. she thrives off of gossip, untrue stereotypes, and attention. there was a high school senior spotlight done that is easily found on the internet, and i think it’s her villain origin story, i highly recommend reading it
What do I look up?
Shallon lester high school spotlight. The article is behind a paywall though.
is no one going to highlight the fact that she doesnt think consent is important in sex? like wtf!!! 'unlike sex no really does mean no'
There's so much wrong it's hard to point out everything
@@XaiEia ikr shallon is such a messed up person
I’m turning 16 soon and this woman scares me. Predators tend to have that effect on me.
She’s just messed up
Well she does go after them young for a reason...
“I’m the kinda girl that Hitler daydreams about.”
Is that supposed to be a brag?
More an attempt at edgy humour I think, could have used better wording. Like, "You would consider me average...you know, unless you're Hitler." I mean, still not hilarious but better worded I think.
@@casssss yeah, edgy, dark humour, bit try hard and talks like she wants to be street smart, but ain't
I think shes just trying to say she's high value in people's eyes
It's definitely an attempt at being edgy and funny. I know people like this - to be fair to them, not half as bad as her behaviour wise as far as I know - but that desperate 'notice me', I'm so edgy and cooler than you vibe they try to put out.....where they consider nobody else to be on their level definitely. Those kinds of people do attract hero worshippers.
People who will condone and defend that behaviour in them, and they surround themselves with that, so it's always being confirmed as okay and it can't be called out as easily by others.
@@loud6037 , no, it was a dog whistle used to announce her racism.
Did she really just write ”rule number two of clubgoing is never argue with the bouncer. Unlike with sex, no really does mean no.” Wow, I really don’t know what to say to that.
Take a shot everytime Shallon says something problematic
Update: I have liver disease
I died 10 minutes into the video
Liver failure five minutes in oml
I yelled at my husband , punched a hole in the wall, then ended up crying in the corner about how I don’t deserve love and should just run away and leave everyone alone.
RIP :'(
the entire “charity” story made me think “weird flex but ok”
in fact, "weird flex *and* not ok"
Same.
Also r/thathappened
It made me think that she’s a bad person, who does bad things, but sometimes good things happen as a consequence
Is Shallon's middle name "Mo"?
Better be, she’s trying to be collecting young ex boyfriend’s to talk about to her subscribers like pokemon 💀💀💀
Apparently
That was such a good joke
That's was killer, also yea, it probably is
Monika, "Mo" for short
"I'm the kinda girl that Hitler daydreams about" Nah the kind of girl Hitler daydreamer about was his niece
So this entire book is in Karen POV?
The "Karen" meme should be renamed to "Shallon" after this bitch.
It's not as pretty of a name as Karen is anyway.
This would be a semi-interesting book if Shallon Lester was a fictional character and meant to be a parody of people like her
I would actually love that, honestly- would wholeheartedly read it
Idk why. But shallon lester screams "how do you do fellow kids"
oh and narcissistic personality disorder
Yikess. One thing I hate is that when she got called out for things she said and did, she didn’t even acknowledge or apologize for any of them. She just “decided to move on.” In one of her videos, she said she doesn’t have to put out an apology or statement because actions moving forward should show growth. But not even acknowledging these things means you haven’t even grown.
Can I just say, that as a Canadian, I have never in my entire life heard any of us say "aboot" rather than "about". Such a wierd stereotype?!
I’ve heard a slightly long-form version of about where the “ou” was very rounded, like said with an open mouth, but never as an “oo” sound. It’s like when people make fun of people from Wisconsin for saying “Wiscaaaansin” when it’s more “ah” than “aaa”. It’s just an untrained ear throwing too much into the pronunciation and exaggerating so they look “cool” in front of their friends
Not only is mistaking Romanian people for Romani people hella ignorant, but defending the use of a slur? Really? This is the kind of mentality that promotes violence against Romani people not only in Romania (where I'm from), but other parts of Europe as well. It's a huge issue and there are tons of people who believe the same stereotypes she does, and it's horrifying.
Also, the whole "imitating people's accents on paper" is just wrong on so many levels. It's very disrespectful
Fellow Ro here. Not just imitating accents on paper, but also implying we have bad grammar and pronunciation. Bih the fk... we can speak more than one language and somehow it's always the people who only speak one that decide to talk down on us...
The history is lost on Europeans alot of the times let alone Americans. Like the only reson I know it's bad is cause teachers told me and then I had to research why myself.
Wait not trolling, trying to learn
Its wrong to write a character in a way that gets their accent across? I've never really thought about it. I guess you could always write the words correctly and say "they speak with an x accent"
And then maybe a sidenote explaining how it sounds for readers who've never heard one?
@@bongosmcdongos4190 I think it has more to do with harmful stereotypes than the accent itself.
Imitating a Texan accent on paper because the character is from Texas might be different than imitating someone whose native language isn't English in a mocking, derogatory manner and using that imitation to demean them.
But it could also be argued that you should just write correct English and explain the accent. I'm not a native English speaker, so I can't speak for them, but if the accent or drawl is very distinct and hard to understand in reading, you might be better off just mentioning their accent and letting the reader make the decision if they want to "read it with an accent" or not.
@@bongosmcdongos4190 personally i dont think theres anything wrong with writing an accent, HOWEVER, ALL of Shallons are blatantly racist. Hers are just disgusting and not even believable. How is EVERYONE that she talks to a stereotype??
How do you manage to offend every single person alive in one book lmao she gotta be doing it on purpose
Texan here- can confirm, the smell of pork allures us. One whiff of that meaty gold and we become zombies, drawn to the smell, in love with the smell. ... mmmmm
listening to my english teacher talk about books, prior to graduation: tired
listening to rachel talk about books, after graduating: wired
I guess she didn't know Gerard Way wore white face paint because the whole sickly vampire thing was part of his stage look
Yeah he even talked about how he tans really easily because he's part Italian.
@@jovanaspasojevic5049 Shallon said she's 1/2 italian so you explaining that he's part italian makes the whole situation of her persuing his pale look more ironic.
@@33melonpaws77 I doubt shes even Italian. She doesn't look it and lies about literally everything.
@@33melonpaws77 wow the more I learn about her the dumber everything gets
I KNOW! That whole part, I was like..."Did it _never_ occur to you that that might be MAKEUP?"
Also I got a subtitle for that whole part of the book:
"My Chemical (Peel) Romance."
:P
I'm Romani and as SOON as the "g *psy curses" came up I was like ohhh boy, we're doing this already huh
Yeah, most Gypsies don't generally believe in curses. But for those that do, well...(shrugs)
But in any case, why does hardly anyone ever talk about a Gypsy BLESSING? That would be much nicer, & far less stereotypical! :-)
@@TheMouseAvenger The g word is actually a very racist slur that's used to dehumanize us so it might not be a great idea to use it, I'm not comfortable with being referred to as one by non-Roma.
And our religious beliefs are extremely misconstrued, many of us Catholic, Muslim, or Hindu. "Curses" aren't a part of it at all, it's all just a caricature.
I'm Romanian and I can't believe people still don't understand that Romanian and Romani are 2 different things. It's disrespectful to both of our cultures. I'm sorry for what shallon said about your beliefs, but I'm not surprised she's that ignorant. I'm sending all my love to you
@@Citronada19 same
I mean did we really expect Shallon Lester, who made a career out of spreading her personal opinions as "information", to know the difference between Romanians and Romani? (let alone treat both with dignity)
It's her language she says she is such a good person for caring for the homeless and then describes them with words like "hobos," "crackhead," etc. She keeps saying she is a good person while using language good people don't use just making herself sound super fake
"I'm the kind of girl Hitler daydreams about."
Sequel: How I made out with the entire Hitler Youth
she really went to drastic measures to lighten her Italian skin to look like Gerard Way......when Gerard is literally Italian too and just wore light foundation.....i can't with this woman
This is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
kasandruh there are no words lol
Can you imagine erasing your heritage without doing your research?
@@timstarkey3692 That's not really erasing heritage, it's just doing stupid ass shit
And Then Everyone Clapped: The Book
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This reads like a 14 yr old cos-playing a 30 yr old. And in her bio it says: "i'm a samantha XD obvs lululul"
It's gross how she makes her "preference" for teen boys into this quirky "not like other girls"-thing. That, paired with the creepy statement about consent in that book, sets off loads of alarm bells.
I can't believe there are two bad books by the title Exes & Ohs
Same lol

my grandmother was Roma and some bits of the culture and traditions were passed down, and i take pride in that heritage. it really makes me so sad seeing the things she said about the Romani community. and about all other minority communities as well. she SERIOUSLY needs to be cancelled and i rarely believe in cancel culture, but it needs to be applied here.
Also she mixes them up with Romanians too
By that definition you better cancel ALL of the abrahamic religions then
@@NeloBladeOfRanni lol what
Not everyone has to like you or your heritage. I don’t expect it . Learn to be less sensitive. Who gives a shit if she said that . She didn’t say it to you . If your sensitive stay away from gossip on TH-cam . 👍
sounds like something written by an edgy child on wattpad...
7:19 As a Romanian: we are not gypsies. They're NOT the same thing. At all.
Nothing wrong with either culture but it's extremely offensive and stereotypical to confuse them.
Imagine being sad because the people around you aren't struggling with poverty.
And all Because then you cant give them scraps to feel better about yourself
Valentina Ciccarelli And the best part is that I live in the area, and it’s literally 15 minutes from an area with hundreds of homeless
There are ways to write a shoplifting story without coming across so awful. If anyone wants tips, here are a few to start you off:
1. Recognize that it wasn’t a great decision and focus on your state of mind at the time: why did you do what you did? What were you thinking and feeling when you did it? Try to explain yourself without justifying the action
2. Don’t insult the employees who are just working their minimum wage jobs, doing their best
3. If you ignore #2, for the love of god don’t also throw in deeply uncomfortable racial undertones to the interaction
4. Please please please don’t also find a way to infantilize the homeless in the same passage.
God this book is horrific
I mostly agree with this, but many people agree that shoplifting is not a problem in a world where people cannot afford things and companies profit off underpaying the people who actually perform the labor. In Shallon’s case, it sounded like she stole from a small, maybe family owned grocery store. That’s not cool. But if you steal from, let’s say, Whole Foods, you know you’re stealing from a man who exploits the workers, is about to become a trillionaire, and doesn’t want to pay them more to make sure they are working in a safe environment. And anyway, people who steal because they can’t afford food would otherwise die of starvation. Let’s remember people steal baby formula. Necessary items should be free.
@@evad2584 Hi I work for amazon for 10hr with a total 1:15 in breaks. I work as hard as they pay me so I can afford the shit I need and want. You stealing doesn't help me in anyway. It also doesn't really effect the owner in a meaningful way. You screw over the employees and the store owner who only uses the brand name for economic purposes. JUST DON'T STEAL. You're version of necessary isn't objective and even then they cost money to make and maintain some kind of employees. I work hard so unfortunately you have to as well unless you qualify for some type of assistance because people need help. "Can't feed a baby don't have a baby"~Michael J. Jackson
@@evad2584 Please don't try to justify theft.
John Doe I mean I agree but sometimes people loses financial stability and it becomes a thing where u have to steal to feed yourself and your family although I agree you should never steal but sometimes some people need to
@@ftgihf467 But in that case where I was raised especially in 2020 there are a large amount of resources available for people who need to find food.
the way she writes dialogue of any gay character and/or character of color is so indicative of a) the way she cannot see beyond the stereotypes society assigns to groups and b) the fact that literally none of this happened.
im offended that she compared herself to the emo king:
Gerard Way ❤💫🧚🏼♀️
The way she writes about 'helping the homeless' is very similar to how those youtube 'feeding the homeless' videos feel to me. Yes, ultimately it is a good deed, but the motivations behind it are anything but good. In her case, it is simply to make herself feel good about helping people in need so she can sleep at night feeling like a good person. The way she got annoyed after she couldn't find homeless people in her hometown makes it VERY obvious that her drive to help others is only out of her own egoism and not altruism. If she wanted to help there were probably other ways and other charities she could have volunteered for, but it's obvious she wanted to get the most emotional reward for the least amount of effort (this is further exemplified by her not wanting to spend any of her own money to buy the homeless their meals and why she constantly steals stuff to give to the homeless).
Right? Like, she's not volunteering every week at a soup kitchen or foodbank or donating regularly to any of the charities. No, she's stealing food, taking a quick drive around, saying "Welp, couldn't find anyone to perform gratitude for me" and then giving up? ugh
@@zelliehtrue she found a way to make it all about herself in the end. Good deeds done with dubious intentions.
It's never okay to do wrong in order to do right... I mean you could easily relate her stealing the food to give it to poor people to the people who set fires in order to put them out and get a false sense of saving other people. I mean it's just sick and disgusting.
agreed entirely, that is what it made me think of too
It has the same energy as "and everyone clapped"
Like, I'm a vegetarian, and don't like the idea of buying meat either. So in this situation, I just... 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴
Too much logic. No!
That's not a real thing!
Cream cheese or something
Or just give them plain bagels without making them into sandwiches... that’s what I’d do anyway
@@JackieBurkhart924 Bagels with garden vegetable cream cheese or strawberry cream cheese are as delicious as any meat-sandwich. So are avocado, egg, lettuce, tomato sandwiches. I don't understand Shallon at all. (These are also recommendations---they're tasty!)
Shallon just comes off as a deeply sad, sad, sad, old woman.
She’s mid thirties. That’s not really “old”.
E C yeah but she peaked in high school, so in her mind, she is old.
A Canadian Hockey player is the most generic thing I’ve ever heard
How about shortstop from the Dominican Republic?
When it started with dissing the homeless people I was disgusted but when she started copping everyone’s identities it got funny she could have titled the book: “privilege, racism, narcissistic supply and a new identity every week” or “adventures in being a Karen”
Honestly, the "Karen" meme should be replaced with "Shallon". Shallon Mo'Lester is the worst of the worst.
Adventures in being a Karen wouldve been a better book title
@Coffee I don't think someone being called a Karen is meant to refer to racist people.
Why is everyone she dislike dubbed "fat"?
She's too uncreative to come up with any other insult
it’s a projection of her biggest insecurity
Being ‘fat’ is her biggest insecurity, you’ll notice she yo-yo diets and is quite chunky in her older vids. She’s talked about being fat many times. All her hate and toxicity is her own insecurities.
Shallons publisher:how much racism do you want?
Shallon:... *yes*
15:02 "how did she know this chashiers name?!"
because we have to wear name tags as part of the uniform lol
The weirdest part is how she's willing to ADMIT all of this. I would be so ashamed about all of this behaviour hahah
Wait, did shallon confused romanian people with romani people? Why am I not surprised?
This
Well there are a lot of Romani people in Romania though.. still doesn’t excuse anything she wrote.
@Nah Originated from Punjab, India. Called "gypsies" because of the mistaken idea that they were from Egypt.
@@rickc2102 Oh! I always wondered where that term came from. Turns out it's the same reason some people call Native Americans "Indians".
I heard it soooo many times I learned to ignore it. We do have a high number of gypsy minorities, but that doesn't make up for the whole country population. And they don't go around putting curses on people. But I wouldn't expect Shallon to know that.
When I tell you my jaw DROPPED.......and honey it STAYED dropped. How the actual hell did this book get published. JAIL!
The dog looks like it's thinking,"Less talking, more petting."
Rachel: "I looked like an Aryan propaganda poster-remember that..."
Me: Not sure I will be able to forget it...ever...
I'm still kinda horrified at the Gerard Way thing. He's not even that pale. He's Italian and he wore a ton of white makeup during revenge era. Like, were those flour Gerard pics (if you know, you know) her reference? I shouldn't really be this upset at a small portion of what she said in this book, but as a My Chem fan, it's :///
We don't claim her
I was cleaning my room while watching/listening and when I heard ‘My Chemical Romance’ the way my head shot up-
Her and onion boi liked revenge era him cause he looked 13 they're the kind of "fans" that would call return Gerard ugly
JANE CENTUAR which is sad because this is him healthy so they only like him when he’s not eating and doing drugs :/
Emo me for sure wanted to be incredibly pale..In hindsight I was unaware exactly how editing worked and that you could lighten it after a shoot haha. I did the sunscreen all the time, umbrella, long sleeves, turmeric/lemon but I just wanted to be a model for Gothic Beauty magazine haha.
My mom really enjoys her content and tried to get me into it for a while, and I just kept getting red flags and didn't like her but didn't really know why. Upon watching D'Angelo's videos I finally put it together and realized what was happening. I had my mom sit through those videos with me, and she actually enjoys D'Angelo's content a lot so I was surprised to find that she still watches Shallon's content. She told me she understands that she is not a good person at all but she enjoys her content and learns from it, and it just breaks my heart. I was really relieved to find your video and to hear Shallon examined not from her videos but from something she labored over and wrote and perceived to be okay to publish for the public to read. I've sent your video to my mom, I hope she can learn from it and realize just how deep the problem is. Your video was very well executed! Well done.
So uh, how did it go?
"Gerard and I were very much alike."
No. No you were not. (And like, he's not that pale? But okay?) /MCR stan
Actually, at around the time that would've "happened", he was. Because he was an addict. He was actively struggling with substance abuse and it was taking a literal, physical toll. The skin tone she's fetishizing is literally the result of addiction. I'm pretty sure he described himself as a "dead man walking". I cannot emphasize enough how NOT SEXY that era was, so what she's doing becomes all the more gross and weird.
“A GREAT title because it tells you everything you need to know about this book... and why you should avoid it.”
Love.
Just going to say, I would LOVE to see you rip apart this book! You would do an amazing job!
Leeeeesh
Does Shallon Lester not realize that she could have given her goodie bags to a homeless shelter or non-cooked/non-perishable to a food shelf?
As a Canadian, can confirm the only true thing about our “accent” is eh. And it’s a lot less frequent than usual. The entire Canadian Boyfriend story is BS.
Dude, in regards to her being into teenage boys-it ACTUALLY says “Predator” in her insta bio
When people tell you what they are...
i love how she holds the ''i'm a published author what do u do successfully?'' over other peoples heads.
like... imagine attaching your name to this dumpster fire and being proud of it
Can’t imagine being a 39 year old woman obsessed with celebrities and teenage boys 🥴
FBI! Open up!
Justin is not a teenager
Torey ! He was and she liked that
Honestly, I can’t take this almost 40 year old women seriously she’s obnoxious, narcissist and toxic on every level. Her massive ego is out of control! She’s so jealous of young famous women because she’s old and never made it so she constantly brings them down. It’s really pathetic. She’s so insecure about herself that in almost every video she brags about herself, same lines over and over again it’s embarrassing. ‘I used to work in star magazine! I wrote a book! I’m great in bed!’ Oh please! You got a trash book published, star magazine is an old trash magazine from the early 2000’s, and if you were ‘great’ in bed you would have found one guy by now out of the thousands you banged that wants to stick around. Bragging about fucking lots of guys is nothing to be proud of it’s dirty. She’s just a pump and dump, old women that’s gone crazy because guys just pump her and move on! Nobody wants that used up crazy whore.
@@torey4322
He was a teenager tho when she talked about having sex dreams about him (he was like 15/16 and she was 28/29)
The opening line sounds more like the beginning of a novel rather than an actual autobiography.
I lived in poverty for a long time. I met a lot of people like this, people who only do things like that to make themselves feel better and end up hurting and embarrassing people who don't have the privilege of the "generous" person. It's the whole schtick of giving the homeless a coffee while your friend takes a picture. It hurts. It immediately comes off as the performance it is.
If you give another person something, it's not honest unless you do it quietly. I hate celebrity charities where rich people only want to look good. I refuse to organize such events . If they really cared, they'd provide stable housing , stable food and health care for everyone, they would give everyone a "Future ", Instead of "flexing" for 2 seconds. Poverty is not a choice. Most super rich people just got lucky, that's nothing to be proud of. Humans worth isn't defined by their bank accounts.
sooo the first few pages of the book are Shallon trying to convince us that she's a good person and an altruist while throwing around words like "hobo," "fat b," and the g-slur? alrighty then, off to a great start!
EDIT: oh and the n-word, looks like the gang's all here
and those hobos only live in town with mexican names! Woo!
edit: weird though. she said there were no poor people and within the next few paragraphs she had 3 - 4 new poor friends. lol. whut
Yeah, I'll be honest, I was disgusted reading a lot of this stuff out loud :|
Uhhh what’s the ‘g-word’...?
Being PC changes so quickly it’s difficult to keep up on which words become offensive & off limits.
Genuinely asking tho.
Amber Lovin “Gypsy” It’s a racial slur used for the Romanian people. In Spain, “gitano” is still used, which is “gypsy”, as people from Analucia have reclaimed the word and take pride in it.
Amber Lovin this word has been offensive for a long time but no one cared about it which is pretty sad
This sounds like a weird story you’d find on Wattpad written by some 14 yo
This and every "totally true" story that "really happened" I've ever heard her tell
As a 14 yo I'm very offended
As a 14 yo aspiring writer i am offended
@@raisyahalida4616 same hahahahaha
as a 14 yo on wattpad NOOO WE ARENT THAT BAD we are busy writing smut
As a former grocery store employee, I honestly would have looked the other way if I thought someone was stealing food for homeless people….
Unless they were being shitty about it…
For real, if I see someone stealing food, I didn’t.
The book cover looks like a low-budget artwork for a school project XD
the fact that i had never heard of this book, and more specifically all of the racial stereotypes in it, says so much about shallon's relevancy. like, everyone has been getting "cancelled" for saying the n word when they were like eleven, while this grown ass white woman writes and publish a book with it in it.
Loved the video and your new hair!!
Finding out she was obsessed with MCR was whack but when she bleached her skin??? Oh honey. I wondered why she didnt just dye her hair red like the rest of the Gerard stans but turns out shes like the one person who actually thinks redheads are evil lmao
if she thought redheads were bad she could always go the other mcr stan route and do teal roots but I dont think shed put in that much effort
i saw a comment somewhere that said "Sallon Lester is the person who incels believe all women are like."
Are you les or trans tho? Only those people know what incel means an not many straight people follow rachel because she is sexist, toxic and in the closet
“i looked good, like an arayan propaganda poster” EXCUSE ME?!?!?! *E X C U S E M E ?!?!*
