If you’re going to lie, the internet is probably the worst place to do it. Others can easily check whether your story adds up and often have the screenshots to prove when it doesn’t. Once the truth comes out, there is usually no easy way to take it back.

We gathered some awkward and embarrassing screenshots of people getting caught lying and called out for it. Scroll down to see how their stories fell apart, and don’t forget to upvote the funniest ones.

    On a similar note, there’s this woman on YouTube. I’m fairly sure she steals other bakers’ content and adds her own voiceovers that describe stories made with AI. For example, one time she said a client told her a story that was heartening and begged her not to tell anyone. And the “baker” ended the video with “if I get enough like, I’ll share her story”. Also all the stories are so cringy and clickbait-y.

    I'm cisgender and hetero, but I imagine that queer people would feel offended and trivialized if an established character (e.g., Peter Parker, not "Spider-Man", as it's true there are many Spider-Mans in the multiverse, just like there's a ton of Green Lanterns) was shoehorned into "being made gay". That minimalizes and belittles LGBTQ+ identity as a whole, as "being gay" is not something that is just pasted onto or forced onto a person. It is part of who they are as a whole. Superheroes can be gay, trans, gender-neutral, nonbinary, genderfluid, aro/ace, etc. - but these aspects should not be forced onto established characters solely in an effort to "appeal" to LGBTQ+ audiences.
