Vinnie Hacker lashes out at \u201cmanipulative\u201d fans after TikTok fame Instagram: Vinnie HackerVinnie Hacker has spoken out about the problems of TikTok stardom, saying some of his fans are \u201cmanipulative\u201d and \u201ccontrolling.\u201d He echoed the sentiment that nobody is perfect, and that people should \u201clive life and learn from it.\u201d The role models and idols of today appear almost out of nowhere thanks to social media. The medium also leads to a host of those celebrities being quite young. One of them is Vinnie Hacker. The TikToker has over 5.7 million fans on the platform, as well as 2 million on Instagram. However, life in the limelight has come with its own set of problems. Hacker feels like he\u2019s been forced to live to unreasonable standards put by his fans. \u201cWhy do some people want to control my life. Telling me who I can and can\u2019t talk to. Saying that you\u2019ll only allow me to be with \u201cthis person.\u201d Grow up. Don\u2019t be manipulative,\u201d he said in a TikTok. \u201cYou preach against manipulation and then go on and make sure that they live a life that\u2019s satisfying to you and not them. One mistake and a person\u2019s career is over in this area of work.\u201d \u201cIn the eyes of the internet, people are subjected to be role models. And people say to not set unnecessary standards for others, but wouldn\u2019t you think a life without mistakes and growth and perfection is more of a high standard than learning and growing?\u201d He also said that once you get thrown into the social media machine, you can\u2019t really pull yourself out. Ultimately, these stars live and die by their fans\u2019 judgment. \u201cOnce it gets past that breaking point to where someone becomes relevant, the assumptions come and get dragged along with them. Privacy is invaded and people try to tell them how to live their lives. You end up not being your own person, but the internet\u2019s person.\u201d once it gets past that breaking point to where someone becomes relevant, the assumptions come and get dragged along with them. privacy is invaded and people try to tell them how to live their lives. you end up not being your own person, but the internet\u2019s person. \u2014 100T Vinnie (@vinniehacker) January 21, 2021 These comments come as Hacker takes a break from Twitch streaming to focus on his personal life. \u201cTaking a break from streaming for quite a while. I don\u2019t really feel to explain. A lot of personal stuff, on top of the unfortunate stuff that happens whilst streaming. Something always goes wrong. I might begin again, I might not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
