 So, I don't know how many of you have seen Eve Fartlow trending on Twitter. I still don't necessarily know what's happening here, but I saw all of the lefty folks that I follow in my social circles online tweeting out Eve Fartlow celebrating that it was trending. So I don't know what's going on. I pulled up this article, I read like a couple of paragraphs, I still don't really get it. So let's investigate what's going on with the Eve Fartlow debacle. Is already like I'm a fan, like I'm all for the Fartlow movement, whatever that may be and I'm saying that even not necessarily knowing the details of the story. So this is from the focus, they write Eve Fartlow hits back at Fartlow nickname, music journalist on Twitter trolls. So from the get go, love the story, love, love, love the story, nothing but respect for my queen Eve Fartlow. Or perhaps she's the bad guy. I don't know. Trolls are ever present on social media as music journalist Eve Bartlow has discovered this May 2021 Eve Bartlow has faced trolling day in, day out as she becomes a target online. The trolling is rooted in bestowing Barlow with the new name Eve Fartlow. Now, now Barlow has hit back and shared her thoughts on the Twitter trolls. Before we go any further, I'm just going to say that if she even addresses this, she's going to blow it up, like it's going to become a bigger thing. If you want Fartlow to go away, you can't acknowledge this, otherwise people are going to feed into this. Like this is the way that the internet functions. Eve Bartlow, Barlow discusses the Eve Fartlow nickname and online trolling. First of all, let me just say, if somebody changed my name to Mike Fartorato, I think that would be based. I would fucking love it. I self-identify oftentimes as Mike Fettuccine for meaning purposes. If you listen to the outros with Donald Trump, the Trump impersonator that I have calls me Mike Fettuccine. I think that's awesome and hilarious. This isn't something to really be taken seriously, but people really, they get so offended if you change their names and I don't get it. I saw somebody online who's a hater call me Mike Fartorato and I had nothing to say about that. I just had to applaud them because that's truly brilliant. It's genuinely brilliant to change my name to Mike Fartorato. So kudos to that person. So if I were Eve, the advice that I would offer to her is to embrace Fartlow, but she's not. She's pushing back. Jeff Waldorf says, I got used to being called Waldorf. Yeah, right? I mean, I feel like if they change your name, that really isn't that big of a deal. And lucky for her, she has a genuinely based meme name, Eve Fartlow. That is incredible. If that was Mike Fartlow, I would love it. If I was trolled online and people were calling me Mike Farticini, I would have to applaud those folks. But anyways, okay. So on May 25th, Eve Barlow published an article with the Tablet magazine discussing the recent Eve Fartlow nickname. Barlow wrote, I don't know who crafted the first tweet that simply said Eve Fartlow, but whoever it was, bot or human, started a fire. Really is it that serious? Over the past two weeks, Twitter has been littered with the words Eve Fartlow. Every time I tweet, this title is the response I attract, and it is pelted at me irrespective of what I write. She continues hundreds of trolls with blue ticks and some without just start responding to me, Eve Fartlow. Some people have recently switched it to Eve Shartlow, but Eve Fartlow seems to be 1-6. I'm already crying. Oh my God. I'm Eve Shartlow. I'm crying. Eve Barlow jokes in the article that her new nickname sounds like it was invented by a three-year-old, Hyon Poptarts. The nickname allegedly started after Barlow tweeted about her friend misreading a free parking sign as saying Free Palestine. Barlow even made her Twitter account private after other users jumped on this tweet. Barlow's tweet allegedly posted 24 of May has been deleted, so I don't understand. So she misread her friend's tweet. Let me read this again because I'm confused. The nickname allegedly started after Barlow tweeted about her friend misreading a free parking sign as saying Free Palestine. If your friend actually did this, then your friend is very stupid, and you deserve the Fartlow and or Shartlow nickname for even tweeting about this. It is unconfirmed where or by whom the nickname originated as of yet. However, the nickname has been adopted by hundreds, if not thousands online. This is exactly what someone named Eve Fartlow would say. Let me see this. Eve Fartlow is not my name. Oh my God. A story of the year so far. Who is Eve Barlow? Eve Barlow is a Scottish music journalist currently based in Los Angeles, California on her social media profiles and in her tablet magazine profile, Barlow now goes by Eve Dove-Bear. This is her family's name, which has been changed and altered over hundreds of years as a result of persecutions. In her most recent tablet article, Barlow discusses these name changes. Eve Barlow isn't really my name either. Barlow has been my family's name for three generations, but before that our name was Birlovich. We changed it when my family fled Tsarist Russia during the Eastern European programs in the late 19th century and before Barlow was Birlovich, it was Dove Bear. Okay I don't need all of this history. I don't need all of this information. Let's get back to the Fartlow and Fartlow talk. Eve Barlow writes for numerous illustrious music publications. Barlow currently... Okay. Let me get to her. I think that they link to her article. Okay. So this is where she discusses the Fartlow nickname. This is really what I want to see. So this is from Eve Barlow, the social media program. Twitter will not free Palestine, but it will certainly make the world a more anti-Semitic place. So let's see what her argument is. So this is Eve Barlow's response to the Fartlow backlash. I don't know who crafted the first tweet that simply said Eve Fartlow, but whoever it was, Bader Human started a fire. So we read this, but we'll keep going, even though this is a bit redundant. So bear with me. Tensions in the Middle East erupted this past month, so you may be thinking, why is this dumb Zionist liar playing the victim? She should cope. Still not sure what this means. She's complaining to me from her Los Angeles apartment about people spelling her name in a dumb way online. There's a little bit of self-awareness here, at least. She's not wading through rebel. She's not running from rocket fire. She's not surrounded by senseless violence. Let's ratio her. I mean, this is the definition of the NPC meme with the smiley face mask, but behind the mask, she's crying. You're right. I've not been living in a bomb shelter. I have not had my house cave in, so I have asked myself the same thing, because neither have all people or bots tweeting my name incorrectly, doing everything they can to discredit the messaging. I'm trying to relay to my followers to challenge the way this conflict has been narrated by mainstream media and social media influencers. I challenge it because the truth matters. The truth protects lives. Okay, is this going to be some gigantic... How long is this? Oh, good god. All of this in response to Fartlow? Holy shit. I have the instinct to just stop reading and tweet Eve Fartlow at her, but let's keep going. Okay, where were we? Due to the juvenile nature of this Eve Fartlow attack, which sounds like it was invented by a three-year-old high on pop tarts, I wondered if the bombardment of Eve Fartlow tweets was engineered to drive me insane. Stop looking at your mentions then, Jesus. Perhaps it was a form of digital waterboarding aimed at forcing me to surrender, delete all my accounts, log out of all devices, and commit digital suicide. Okay, she just, she took it from here all the way to here. Like she's amping up the drama here. She's saying, is this a form of digital waterboarding aimed to drive me off of social media and therefore commit digital suicide? Eve. It's not that serious. Holy shit, Eve. It's not that fucking serious. Eve Fartlow is not my name. Regardless of how many thousands of times it's echoed back at me by trolls online. See, she doesn't understand that when she writes something like this, like this sentence specifically, it makes me want to go tweet Eve Fartlow to her. Because it's getting to you and that's why they're tweeting at you, Eve. If you didn't let it bother you, if you let it just like roll off your shoulders, nobody would be tweeting this at you. But because you're taking it so seriously, this is why they continue to tweet Eve Fartlow and Fartlow at you. Holy shit, some people just don't understand. And look, I, that's not to say that it's fun if you get bombarded online. It's happened to me. It's happened to Jeff Waldorf. I'm sure that he can attest to it. When you are an influencer, even though that's such a cringy word, it's going to happen. And you want to know what I do when that happens? I force myself to not look at the mentions or log off of Twitter. Now I don't really remember anything like light hearted. Like usually when I get bombarded, it's like, it's bad. It's homophobia. It's people calling me a shill or some dumb shit like that. But people are just, they're saying Eve Fartlow and she's so mad at it. And the fact that she's this mad is funny. It genuinely is funny. Like I don't, like if this is actually affecting her, like it, it makes me feel bad, but she's got to understand that what she's doing is inadvertently encouraging this. We changed it when my fam, okay, so we read this from the other article. Eve Fartlow is an intimidation tactic. Do you really think it's an intimidation tactic? You honestly think it's that serious? You think that when people tweet Eve Fartlow to you? You're like, oh, this will show her. I'm going to bully her off of social media. No! They're high, laughing their asses off because you're getting so mad at Eve Fartlow. Holy shit. How do you not get this? A playground jive meant to drown out my voice online. Why are you taking this so seriously, Eve? Holy fuck! My words must be silenced as quickly as possible by the hammer and sickle emoji comrades who love humanity so much they want anyone who threatens their concept of utopia to kill themselves. It's all peace, love, and openness until someone wants to have a conversation. So she's definitely saying that this is from the left, but she thinks that people tweeting Fartlow to her means that they want her to kill herself. I mean, if somebody is genuinely telling her that she should kill herself, that's terrible. Of course, I would unequivocally condemn that. But I mean, she put some tweets in here. Are these examples? Oh, this is Eve Fartlow! Okay, we talked about her on the stream last week. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, okay, okay. I don't remember what the tweet was, but she tweeted out something extremely stupid. Oh right, so she basically named all of the celebrities that spoke out at the behest of Gaza and Palestinians, and she's like, we're going to remember this. This is Eve Fartlow. Oh, you're actually a shitty person, Eve. You're actually a shitty person with a lot of hot takes. And in response to your hot takes, they're just trolling. And now you're playing the victim because you belittled the victims in Gaza, and now you don't like it. So you're literally going to fucking freak out because people are calling you Fartlow. I mean, people have such thin skin, and you have a blue check mark. So I mean, you have to at least be somewhat of a public figure, someone who's relatively prominent. I don't know. Oh my God, this article is so long. All this to respond to Fartlow. Okay, let me try to find where we were. Intimidation tactic. Okay, so that's where we were. Okay, let me try to go back through and get through as much of this as I can. A few weeks ago, as Westerners began educating themselves about Sheik Jarrah and the Iron Dome through stick figures with biased speech bubbles on the diet Prada and Refinery29 Instagram feeds, something else started happening on social media. I coined it the World's First Social Media Program. The activity that Zionist Jews in particular experience all over the web was bizarre at best and invalidating abuse of indihumanizing at worst. Zionist Jews weren't just being unfollowed for advocating for themselves and their brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine. We were also losing access to direct message and commentabilities, having posts removed for violating community guidelines, blah, blah, blah. The cherry on top, of course, was that we were simultaneously fighting off a barrage of thousands upon thousands of troll comments and hateful direct messages, which frequently included homophobic, misogynistic, and extremely violent language. Some people even generously took the time to record voice messages. I received a few of those, including one from a woman with a British accent calling for my family to burn in hell. She's saying it or she tried to. Okay, that's awful. That's really, really terrible. This is what I would be more concerned with if I was her. I don't know if this person who she says did this got her personal phone number. I have had people call me on my personal phone number. It wasn't threatening, but it's still very creepy when somebody who knows you online finds out your personal information. I know firsthand how that's terrifying, but this is what I'd focus on. Not people calling me Mike Fartorado or Fettuccine. I understand that artists can be sensitive, conflict avoidant, and prone to anxiety triggers, but I noticed that whenever I tweeted about the Jewish right to self-determine in Israel, I'd lose followers, and sometimes it would be because other Jews who hate Zionists claim that we're the bane of their existence because we're preventing them from assimilating and being like everyone else. Okay, let me just say, what she's saying here, essentially I read this as, Hey folks, people are waking up to the fact that Israel is an apartheid regime who's occupying Palestine, who's committing war crimes in Gaza. And because I defended that, I'm getting backlash. It's not just people like her, Andrew Yang, probably got the most backlash that I saw. Right? So basically, I don't think I could read much more into this. Long story short, she is mad because people are calling her Eve Fartlow because she had a bad take, a hot take on Israel-Palestine. Is that basically it? I mean, Jesus Christ. Now, she says here, in the UK, there have been 116 reported incidents of antisemitism in 10 days, a 600% increase. This is also true in the United States, and this is absolutely horrific. These people who commit these hate crimes, who harass Jewish people, these people are horrible people, right? The reason why we want a free Palestine and we speak out on behalf of Palestinians is because we care about human rights. So of course, it's not legitimized or justified. It's not justified, rather, to say that, you know, to say things like this, this is terrible. This is awful. But this is not the totality of people who want Palestine to be free. It's just not. The overwhelming majority, 99.99% of people advocating for Palestine and speaking up, denouncing Israel, they just want the human rights violations to stop, they want the occupation to end, they want equality for Palestinians. It's that simple. Now, I want to read this because so she is outing herself here with an old tweet, would like to just clarify something. This tweet is doing the rounds as a screen grab. Someone made it to prove that I'm a racist because that's the game we're playing now, apparently. I don't know these lyrics and I never use the N-word. This is a fake tweet. Is this really a fake tweet? Okay, if this is a fake tweet then, okay. Yeah, so, okay, I don't have any evidence otherwise. I thought she was going to address it and say I was quoting a song. But all right, if you say it's a fake tweet, I have no choice but to believe you. Having said that though, to put a bow on this segment, you know what we've got to do, folks. Owned. We got her. We got her.
