Guru Gossip (sometimes Gossiper) is a messy, poorly run message board masquerading as an honest space where members can vent freely about
internet and
beauty culture, mainly
Youtube MUAs comme Jeffree Star, Michelle Phan, or Jaclyn Hill.
There are endless threads devoted to a variety of gurus and
Internet personalities where you slowly realize that it is nothing more than a circlejerk for lonely women to engage in petty, childish, high
school-like behavior. Members are subtly encouraged to degrade their targets for their appearance, to invade their privacy by looking up addresses and contacts, and are constantly looking for ways to report them to law enforcement for things like buying purebred pug puppies or having too many kids.
All the while the gossipers
will compare themselves to prove just how successful, prettier, and much nicer they are than them, which leaves you wondering how someone can be so rich and happy, when they’re spending hours a day ranting about assymetrical noses and sponsored trips.
Abigail: I found a thread on Danielle Mansutti on Guru Gossiper!
Tanya: You’re kidding, what does it say? Is it
anything good?
Abigail: No, it’s horrible. They spent
five pages fighting with each other because one person had the audacity to admit she thinks she’s naturally very
pretty!
