They can be rescued when they pay all their back taxes they've been boasting about saving.

[–] Stefan_S_from_H@piefed.zip 78 points 4 days ago

The remaining influencers were given a script of what to say online. They deleted their posts in which they expressed their fear.

What is happening in Dubai?

Slavery. Sex trafficking. Human rights abuses.

Iran Strikes Send VIP Dubai Influencers 'Back To Reality'

"OMG!" Israeli wellness influencer Hofit Golan exclaims repeatedly in a video that shows a building near her apartment in flames.

British content creator Will Bailey was updating his Instagram and TikTok followers by filming the trails of smoke left by missiles and interceptor rockets in Dubai's skyline.

"That was metres away from us," he says in a video filmed near the Fairmont hotel, which was hit by a strike on Saturday.

Other influencers were less composed, with France's Maeva Ghennam who, waving her passport around, told viewers she "screamed hysterically" when she heard a strike.

Looks like some are stuck there for awhile too.

On Sunday, the French embassy in the UAE reiterated to its nationals in the country that it was not possible to leave because Emirati airspace remained closed until further notice.

It urged French citizens there to "strictly follow the safety instructions: stay at home (and) keep away from windows, doors and open areas".

Iran started bombing all the Sunni nations in the region as soon as Israel struck Tehran

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I thought they were specifically targeting countries with US bases?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is there a US base in the UAE?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Al Dhafra Air Base is near Abu Dhabi, also the navy uses one of their ports

There are US bases everywhere. Kinda like cockroaches, really.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago

Not all Sunni nations, just the ones with US bases.

Did they run out of chocolate labubus?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

One can only hope some of these profligates are shown the reapers smiling face.

I'm from Redneck SoCal, I more or less have no horse in this race. Only my bloodthirst and lack of care for people has me even paying attention. Sad that innocent working folks get killed, but if even just one influencer gets minced I'll be happier than when I find WW1 artifacts at an estate sale.

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

You hate influencers, but you guys still make this about the US and its influencers. "Sad there is a war, but please kill our influencers".

That's about the Americanest thing I ever read. Not everything is about you and your celebrities.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well our president is a direct result of American vapidness and celebrity worship that led to the shit stain of person being elected president. A literal subhuman celebrity was voted president and started this war. Plus the type of influencer living in Dubai probably make most of their money off of scaming ppl worldwide and are a detriment to society.

I dont think its an American thing to want to see shitty ppl get some form of karma

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip -2 points 3 days ago

Yes you're really turning into a caricature of the US

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This thread is about influencers leaving Iran. It's not a stretch that someone is going to talk about influencers leaving Iran in it, and their thoughts on influencers in general... war has an almost infinite number of facets and angles, to discuss one isn't "making it about" that.

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I don't think it's a stretch to comment on Americans always making things about celebrities and influencers, even if there is many facets to war.

This is the facet on the war, of which there are many, that the posts and the commenter highlight and I'm commenting on it because I find the talk of "bloodthirst" and "sad there's innocent people killed, better take some of those influencers with them" appalling.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you imagine people replying with the subject the post was about?

Fucking Americans and their ability to stay on topic.

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'm not commenting on people staying on topic, I'm saying the topic is always celebrities with you guys. No matter who started it.

And with your excellent ability to stay on this topic, the topic doesn't change much.

I just called this reaction to the post that was already about influencers the Americanest thing I read, I did not mean any offense.

Dude, plenty of influencers are from Europe as well, I don't really care what breed of shitstain profligate gets turned into a greasy stain on the concrete just that they do. As @Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world put better a lot of the influencers who would go to Dubai are the types who are probably scamming folks.

Also I have nothing but loathing for celebrity culture. As I said I'm from the more Redneck part of SoCal, I don't really have a horse in this race. Sure I want to see damned near every pissant in DC hanged but that isn't anything new. I can't add anything else beyond openly saying some folks should die. Yes it's sad that civilians are being caught in the crossfire, but that feels like an obvious observation.

Maybe my perception is a bit warped from growing up during Iraq and Afghanistan but what else should I fucken say? Should I be posting myself going "oh I'm sorry I was born in the US" because that ain't gonna happen, I'm Californian not American I fucken hate this empire and frankly hope I live long enough to kill folks who do like it.

Influencer’s what?

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't understand why people drag on sugar-babies like they're the stupid ones in the situation.

[–] violet08@lemmy.today 35 points 4 days ago

only sugar babies i’ll ever drag are the ones with a bad attitude and that’s widespread among gulf influencers with secret “sponsors” (i live in the gulf myself)

[–] lumettaria@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's crazy how we're not focusing on the borderline paedophilic 70 year old billionaire who just has to have 20 year old sugar babies

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

borderline paedophilic

That's not what paedophilic even means. Manipulative, maybe. But not close to paedophilic. Precisely, teleiophilia is the type of chronophila that is present there.

[–] lumettaria@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 days ago

I hear you, and that's the semantically correct term, but the issue transcends pure semantics. Considering the beauty standards set for women (thin, hairless, weak, what have you) it'd be foolish to not consider the idea that fetishizing qualities that signal (pre-pubescent) youth doesn't have anything to do with pedophilia. Sugar babies / models tend to adhere to these standards, and billionaires tend to go for them.

Step aside lady, Billy Zane is waiting to get on a boat

Which influencer's fleeing Dubai?
