Every metaphorical step AmberLynn took was of her own volition. Especially once she started making bank from YouTube.
She wanted to get a new girlfriend as soon as possible to make Destiny jealous, but then it’s Beck’s fault she was “trapped” in a loveless relationship and getting no action or intimacy for 4 years.
She wanted a new girlfriend as soon as possible after Beck broke up with her because she can’t do anything for herself and desperately wants to be desired.
And for a whole year after Jade broke up with her, did AmberLynn better herself? Did she realize it’s unhealthy to be so dependent on a partner and decide to take care of herself and strive for a better future, especially to take better care of her three fur babies? Nope!
She threw herself at a feeder instead.
She has the privilege, she has the time, she has the money to take care of her health. To seek help, professional help. To insert herself into communities and support groups, not just for her weight, but also for everything she went through growing up.
She has the opportunity to change, it’s all in front of her.
Yet she keeps choosing all the wrong paths, willingly. I’d argue she’s almost giddy any time she chooses the wrong paths in life for herself. It gives her an excuse to be the “victim” of a situation. She is the “victim” again and again.
She wants unhealthy food in the house, yet it was Beck’s fault for not telling her no and not supporting her weight loss.
She wanted to taste test food through her PO box, yet it was an alleged “hater’s” fault for sending her expensive pastries when she’s clearly a weight loss channel.
She wants supporters, yet she only ever interacts with “haters”. It’s the “haters’” fault for being so loud, yet it’s not her fault for stoking the flames and continuing to interact with them.
Even when she admits accidentally letting Rarity out is her fault, guess what? It’s actually not, apparently! Nope, it’s the fault of “haters” and Jordy for intoxicating her mind and distracting her from any responsibilities!
There are so many more examples of this, please feel free to add on!
The take away of this? AmberLynn Reid is always the victim. AmberLynn never has to change anything about herself. AmberLynn Reid never has to take responsibility and even when she does, no she doesn’t!
She actively digs herself deeper and deeper into a hole, but… it’s not her fault.
