The author discusses a recent drama involving a group of "e-girls" who were involved in a leaked Twitter group chat where they made derogatory and hurtful comments about others. The chat was leaked by someone who had been removed from the group and had their account reactivated. The e-girls in question, who have hundreds of thousands to millions of followers, made comments that were racist, body-shaming, and bullying. One of the e-girls, Amber, who has 1.2 million followers, made tweets in 2017 that used the n-word and insulted others. The author notes that the e-girls' behavior is not only hurtful but also hypocritical, as they present themselves as positive and supportive online. The author also discusses how influencers often have to present a fake personality online in order to maintain their image and avoid controversy. The e-girls in question have since apologized, but the author notes that their apologies seem insincere and like they are just following a script. The author concludes that the drama is a reminder that online personas are not always genuine and that people can be hurtful and hypocritical, even if they present themselves as positive and supportive.
