If you look closely, through the glitters, the 12 steps-morning-routine and all the perfect bodies that may seem to be haunting your TikTok for you page, you will eventually meet authentic women online.
And if you ever get to put your phone down and open a Forbes magazine (or you laptop because who the hell put their phone away?), you might as well come across their beautiful faces in the category Top Creator 2023.
If "Is this too much for a lil bar in New Jersey" or "Love ya" doesn't sound familiar, you should consider going out of your cave, because that’s the first step to turn followers into fortunes: Being inevitably remembered for what you spontaneously said online.
It is well known that nowadays, influencers have the power to sold out any products thanks to their fame, but they low-key also have the power to destroy your mental health by letting you think that they have a perfect life...And you don't.
But it seems that today, thanks to a new generation of women, the war between perfection and average is finally over.
Because yes, when being an influencer is a full time job that some people may still be criticizing, the influence also knows how to work its magic on your mental health.
Emma Chamberlain, Dylan Mulvaney, Alix Earle and many more are the women that know how to brighten-up your TikTok fyp. Feeling ugly because of your acne scars or feeling not productive because you couldn't find the strength to get out of bed today? Don't worry ladies, they do too!
On their podcasts or youtube channels, these girls were bold enough to put a final dot to the matrix of the perfect aesthetic of the influencer that can't show their weaknesses online because it will cost them too many followers.
Thanks to this Gen-Z super-women, the Imperfect Queen Era has finally risen up. It was about time.
On her TikTok page, Dylan Mulvaney who was named a Top Forbes creator, shares her journey as a transgender women with her 10 million followers, Alix Earle doesn't hesitate to destroy the cliché of the perfect girl when showing her bad skin days to her 6.4 millions followers on TikTok and the unfiltered, self-deprecating Emma Chamberlain opens-up on depression, anxiety and burn-out on her podcast Anything goes.
The real question is: Did we ever think, five years ago, that the internet had room for this type of content?
These women know how to talk about their real lives, our real lives and sprinkle sprinkle: That's how you build an online-empire these days.
Talking about what nobody used to talk about online such as depression, weight-gain or weight-loss, acne, gender transition or breakups is the open door to not only fame but a long-lasting community that will eventually lead to society changes, such as the moment when Dylan Mulvaney sat down with president Joe Biden to discuss about transgender rights.
If you take a minute (or two) you might realize that we are living a profound change of what people want to see in entertainment: Perfection is being knocked out by authenticity.
Who ever felt less alone while watching the perfect girl getting ready before going to her perfect dream job? Absolutely nobody.
Girls cry, girls fight for LGBTQ+ rights, girls get acne, girls get depression, girls get fired and the girls that get it, just got it all.
