I was an emotional teenager who thought "life was too chaotic". I've grown fond of the name over the years, so I still use it to this day.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 117 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I'm using my real name because I was here to virally promote a movie, just like all the other celebrities on reddit before.

It was a very successful promotion.

[–] drbi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How did you feel about acting in barbie?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

I'm still on strike... Please go support it. Thanks.

What? Are you supposing you are actually Margot Robbie

[–] MrCaturdayNight@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People don’t just make things up on the internet. I’m kinda stoked to be responding to a comment on a Margot Robbie comment.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Yay.

Need all the help I can get for my Oscar campaign.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Of course I am, why else did you think I spent 2 months here discussing the importantance of sincerity in an increasingly commercialized and absurd hyperconsumerist world, as well as the need for jaded adults to reject cynicism and regain their humanity?

I didn't mention the name of the movie here so it's not a promo, so, still not against strike rules.

To play off my instance name.

Legend. Did you make the instance too?

I like not being easily identifiable on social media. When I was a kid my parents taught me to not reveal my real name on the internet and nowadays it seems that your real life and internet life should be the same.

TLC wrote a song about me.

Don't go Jason Waterfalls, please stick to the Trevors and Jakes that you're used to

[–] ladytaters@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of my nicknames growing up was Lil Miss Potatoes. But now I'm a grown up, so I'm Lady Taters.

I didn't. It's my IRL nickname. It means 'short circuit' (as in 'easily frustrated'). I'm the opposite of it, I'm the calmest person on this planet. My friends thought it would be funny. (the full word spells 'Kurzschluss')

[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I was thinking of McDonald's and balls
