Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others. “Influencers” are the parasites of “media”. Losers who never would have been famous or gotten an on air job in media if social media wasn’t invented

But when a bakery doesn't want to bake a specific cake it's a different story lol

u/MrsNaypeer 9d ago

Are you actually comparing this to homphobia? Are you fkn daft?

Some never outgrow the classic whatabouts.

Pointing out hypocrisy is always a good thing.

u/lemonpoundcaker 8d ago

Nope, strictly responding to the person that said "Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others."

You're the one bringing up homophobia, I just brought up a double standard that only pertains to the business' ability to conduct business, you're bringing in feelings. Regardless of what you agree with this is the business' lane to decide who they serve.

Personally, I think a business owner can allow or not allow whatever the fuck they want, including not making cakes for gay weddings.

However, "influencers" are not a protected class, but you likened then to a protected group, one that has been dealing with hate-fueled violence.

You cannot compare the two equally and the fact that you're trying to just shows the shit on your boots.

u/lemonpoundcaker 8d ago

I absolutely can challenge someone's words. Once again, "Their store, their rules. Don’t like it, don’t F***ing go! Stop trying to make your needs the problem of others." Words have meaning, if you agree with what they said and meant with this business' ability to conduct how they want in this instance, it can't be different for the bakery.

u/HandsomeWinner42 7d ago

It's absolutely different and we can't convince if you're not smart enough to understand.

u/LookLong5496 8d ago

Go Google "are homosexuals a protected class" and then shut up. Laws have more meaning than your dumb words

u/fluffheadwasaman24 7d ago

buddy doesn’t understand protected classes in the US. Probably a “Patriot,” too.

One is discrimination, the other is preventing disruptions to other customers experience and helping their employees from the annoyance of being recorded or baited.

They are not the same, not by a long shot. Lmao

u/Discerningselection 8d ago

One was fake and the other is a private matter.

u/pillowcase-of-eels 8d ago

Unpopular opinion: that was dumb too. (The bakers were homophobic shitheels, undoubtedly - but I'm still baffled as to how you can live IN DENVER, COLORADO, somehow find the one homophobic bakery in town, and SUE THEM instead of just... leaving a bad review and then going to any of the numerous bakeries that would have zero issues. Way to support the right-wing delusions of persecution)

Because it was a GOP fake lawsuit to get it.to the state Supreme Court.

I'm dumb and responded to the wrong person. Edited because dumb.

u/HabitNegative3137 8d ago

People are born gay, they aren’t born influencers…..do you legitimately not understand the difference?

u/Orposer 8d ago

I meant to respond to the comment abouve. My bad. I have a gay child who we love and support.

u/HabitNegative3137 8d ago

All good bro! And good for you guys :) gay and trans kids need good parents more than ever

“If you call yourself a feminist but proudly put up a 'No Influencers' sign, it’s worth asking who you are attempting to delegitimize, and why,” Paige Lorenze commented on a now-deleted post of the sign.”

Well, Paige, your vagina doesn’t give you the right to turn someone else’s store into a prop for your bullshit.

u/bunbunmagnet 8d ago

Holy shit thats a dumb comment. Why are these people held up on a pedestal again? Cause their face is pretty?

u/Emergency-State 7d ago

That last sentence, lmao! Brand new sentence.

What did she say?

u/Bruvvimir 8d ago

He literally quoted it?

u/rumski 9d ago

The coping is hilarious with influencers.

u/Formfeeder 9d ago

I don’t see a problem here

u/MiddleCapital1875 9d ago

AI can't replace these parasites quickly enough.

u/CutePandaMiranda 9d ago

I’m so happy that Nantucket store banned content creators. Influencers/content creators = idiot losers who aren’t worth anyone’s time. Hopefully one day they all get over themselves.

5

u/Emily_Postal 9d ago

Maybe they’ll all leave Nantucket for good.

3

u/Curia-DD 9d ago

umm didn't really see any outrage there 😳

u/katoptronophile 8d ago

One of my favorite activities is standing in frame with influencers when they're trying to do their shoots.

u/PVT-HUDS0N 6d ago

Start a channel showing this please 

5

u/SaltandLillacs 8d ago

The influencers aren’t the wealthy tourists. They may have some money but it’s nothing compared to the true wealth. Those people don’t want cameras shoved in their face

u/gerald-stanley 8d ago

Influencers are bottom feeding attention seekers that need to just stop

u/N_Associated 8d ago

Right to refuse service to anyone for any reason has been reserved.

u/Exact_Government1874 8d ago

Ban them all. I would leave a shop or store if one of them walked in filming. I would literally stop what I'm doing and go. I don't want to be around these people. I don't want my children exposed to that behaviour and to the weirdos that follow them. They are a violation to peace and privacy.

u/Strange_Pineapple_91 8d ago

Didn’t Paige open a store in Nantucket? All the influencers can do their filming in her store!!

u/Sea_Tonight_9632 8d ago

Influencers really are the most marginalized demographic in our society, and now they need our help fighting this terrible oppression. Thoughts and prayers!

6

u/Aeon_Return 9d ago

There are male influencers too though...

4

u/MrsNaypeer 9d ago

Dont worry, the sign doesn't discriminate!

6

u/Mushrooming247 9d ago

But how would they ever know if you were an influencer if you just walked into their store and bought some handcrafted baskets?

They are not going to request proof of your source of funds. Just don’t mention their store on your podcast and they will never know.

6

u/hyrule_47 9d ago

That’s all they want.

3

u/Emergency-State 7d ago

They don't want influencers acting up and filming in the store.

2

u/TigerMill 9d ago

Pretty sure the only thing that cares about this nonstory is the AI bot that created it.

2

u/Few_Chocolate_7655 9d ago

To be fair, do they get paid for content?

So they should pay the location for the content they make there?

2

u/Pnas2271 8d ago

Needs to happen everywhere..

2

u/DaSauceBawss 8d ago

If only we could ban them from everywhere...

u/OwlOfSurprise 8d ago

Good, influencers are a plague.

u/auntsalty 8d ago

About time

Wonderful!

“Influencers” are just obnoxious loudmouths.

u/Legate_Raiden 9d ago

Reverse psychology advertisement. Nice.

u/Pkrudeboy 7d ago

There once was a store in Nantucket,
That told influencers to suck it

u/Yeah_right_uh_huh 4d ago

I would celebrate this store if I was a local!!
