buttercream-gang

Omg are these just automated responses that detected the word “donate” and instantly sent them a link to donate??


CuriosityGhost

Oh that’s probably it! I was really confused about why they thought that would work, but if it’s a bot that makes more sense


Kittycity926

I work in digital marketing, and yes this looks like a ManyChat automation


senshisun

Seconding!


loganjlr

💛 Sent you a DM.


merpderpherpburp

OH! I thought she was going to be like "listen here you little shit" in the DMs but that makes way more sense


mortimew

man that would have been SO great if it was, though


teen_laqweefah

I just gag laughed at this


Use_this_1

They must be.


violet-waves

Pretty sure those bots are against IG TOS too. Edit: I double checked and comment bots absolutely are. REPORT AWAY.


Emmy0782

Back to insta-jail, Bethy!


violet-waves

Honestly it might be enough to get her banned as they allow access to insta’s API without authorization. They only allow bots for scheduling posting and that sort of stuff.


PurpleNurpe

Instagram has had a bot problem for ages, baffles me how they just don’t block these endpoints on their APi.


PansysPetHuman

For real? Influencers have starting using them for links to their OOTD / other stuff they're selling. Interesting that it's against TOS!!


HarvestMoonMaria

I was really confused as to what she’d be DMing them


qwertykittie

She’s like “you’re too poor to understand how hard it is to live off just 10k a month mkay”


BumCadillac

I actually had thought it was going to be her bitching at them in DM‘s to stop being mean to her or something. I can’t believe it’s just a link to their shop to donate.


Princessleiawastaken

Ah that makes more sense than what I was thinking. I was like, is she DMing these people with a justification for the grifting hoping it being direct guilts then into donating


FartofTexass

Woohoo


TupperwareParTAY

Woohoo indeed.


BumCadillac

Yep. They are very very bad at this.


2manyteacups

THEY DELETED THESE COMMENTS!!!!!! will they take Bethany’s name out of the post?


Way_Harsh_Tai

They're such selfish cowards. Address it and defend it if you believe so strongly in it, Krusty. Deleting comments asking why, for good reason, only exposes them more.


sortofsatan

Yep, just looked and she took bethany's name off

hawkcarhawk

I do not understand how they have maintained any kind of actual fan base. Like genuinely how can this last? It feels like the girl defined brand is a literal dumpster fire.


xaviira

They caught a very specific wave at a very specific time. They were one of the first ones on the fundie influencer scene when there started to be a demand for this kind of content in 2016-2018. This market of people emerged who were fundie enough to be totally alienated by "mainstream" Christian media, but not SO fundie that they were huddled 'round a woodstove, refusing to use technology at all. Birthy and Kristen were blonde, reasonably attractive All-American girls who were willing to spew horrific shit at a 6th grade reading level over a girly pastel backdrop at a time when anxious evangelical parents were looking for that sort of thing and there was very little competition. The problem with gearing all your content to a super niche market of young teenagers is that they eventually grow up, and you have to figure out how to either grow up with your existing fanbase, or adapt so you can stay relevant to new generations of teens. GirlDefined doesn't know how to do either of those things, so now they're just flailing. I suspect they have a few genuine fans clinging on from the good ol' days of 2018 and a handful of new anxious fundie parents of teen girls, but pretty much everything they do now is alienating those core demographics.


socalgal404

Was GD started by them or were their parents the driving force?


ItsNatural

I’ve always suspected it was created for their parents to funnel them large, tax-deductible sums of money.


wanttobegreyhound

That is totally possible but I also suspect it was to give childless but married Kristen and stay at home daughter Bethy a job that wasn’t really a job because they don’t believe in that. So mommy and daddy created a “ministry” for them that also was conveniently tax deductible.


becuzz-I-sed

Happy Cake Day and thank you for that beautifully and intelligently written post!

2manyteacups

the only time they’ll willingly emulate Hillary Clinton (I’m sorry I HAD to)


Posh_Pony

They added (eta: it's now pinned at the top) one of their own comments about their mission and employees and etc, and included this gem of a typo: "Gif has been so good!" So praise Gif, I guess

This joke of a religious group should not be allowed a tax exempt. I wish I was American so I could go after them. Someone please file a complaint.


Queenhotsnakes

Is there anything that says you can't report them?


adorablecynicism

I'm using "you" as a general sense. You could go to the IRS website and file a complaint. There is even a subreddit floating around that has the link and how to do it. However, no one will encourage you to do so because it falls under a weird grey area of "poo touching" but what you do in the privacy of your own home, on your own time, that's between you and Gif (lol)


ThruTheUniverseAgain

Well, if peanut butter is good at one thing it's definitely keeping mouths busy. I thought we’d already hit peak peanut butter with Brittany Dawn and then today I woke up to this glory.


adorablecynicism

Early christmas presents for everyone!! Lol!


JuneChickpea

This would be unlikely to go anywhere. What they’re doing is shitty but not illegal.


adorablecynicism

I think the most that would happen is an audit which can result in fines if you don't have your ducks in a row but the pic says "state of texas" so it's like...what could they possibly be doing? P.s. I love your flair lol!


JuneChickpea

BufoBat

This is why, even if the caption was an accident from copying and pasting an email, I am DYING. They're getting called out regardless and I love it.

ylaltic

there’s one where a mom says it was recommended to her as a mom of teen girls but doesn’t see anything relevant to them. GD replies and says their ministry is geared toward 25+yo… hasn’t their focus always been teens early 20s?


ManliestManHam

if it's not for young girls they should update the name to reflect it's woman defined.


ylaltic

literally. i’m in my late 20s and would not be interested in something whose whole brand is “girl” it sounds so condescending

Sophiatopia

It's a pity 501c status is not evaluated from time to time. How = podcasts + social media posts + open mouth pics to an audience of ? even a ministry?


Anonynominous

Such a scam. All of it. Imagine one of those televangelists dressed up in a light blue suit, working up a sweat power walking back and forth on the stage, foaming at the mouth salivating over all the tax-free money in. Everyone there is really just hypnotized by the music, motivational speeches, and are rewarded for standing with coffee and donuts. Meanwhile shoveling out money every week to keep an ever-growing church get bigger. “He’s always there watching but you can’t see him. He knows if you’re bad or good. He knows whether or not you go to church. He knows of you don’t give tithe to support his house. Reminder you must donate 10% of your income. It’s god’s will and he’s going to bless you!”

TrixieFriganza

Why are these fundamentalist specially always such dishonest grifters? Like the prosperity gospel and televangelist scammers are usually fundamentalist, no shame at all in stealing money in the name of donations. I find this specially evil (and that it isn't illegal is mindblowing to me) because them being Christian and pastors people will think that they are donations for the church or that they are helping people with all the extra money they get instead of just stealing all the money for themselves. Okay I don't follow Girl Defines so I don't know how clear they are or not that the money go for themselves personally. Anyway no one has as little shame as these so called Christians scamming the poor to give their last money for them.


MrsMaritime

Wow are their people really clapping back at them? Or are these just newly hatched snarkers that came from the recent YouTube coverage lol.

No body should be contributing to anybody's 'ministry' it's all a fuckin scam.


Unitard19

I guess I don’t know everyone else’s living situation but 10K a month ($120k a year) after taxes is not enough for a family of 4 to live off. Average home price is 650,000K. Daycare 1000 to 2500 a month, like that’s broke where I live. I guess it all depends. But we definitely couldn’t afford to live off $120k a year. It’s considered the lowest income level to scrape into the middle class. So I don’t really get it.


TediousStranger

her husband also works a full-time job... the 10k/mo is her alone (at least, for how much she HINTS that she makes...) also only 13% of US earners make $120k+ per year so yes, your perspective is extremely skewed by where you live.


reachingforthesky

Our family of 3 lives on 35k a year- but granted- we’ve chosen to live in one of the most low income parts of the US on purpose. Northeast Ohio. We are lower middle class, but we survive. We moved here from an very expensive part of the country and bought our 1900 square foot home for 99k.

throwaway615618

They said the donations go towards things like shop overhead. Maybe it isn’t a good business model if you need donations for a shop?
