Meet Niece Waidhofer. View this post on Instagram PSA: the only way to secure a woman’s attention is to tag her and 29 other Instagram models in your blurry selfie and/or picture you posted of a random Indian woman who did not realize she was being photographed. That is the only way, gentlemen, I am afraid sliding into the ladies’ DMs with a simple “send vageana pic” just isn’t enough anymore. #stepyagameup #nobutactuallystopdoingthat A post shared by Niece Waidhofer (@niecewaidhofer) on Jun 25, 2019 at 12:20pm PDTShe's an Instagram-famous model who's been featured on The Chive and Maxim.com. Back in 2017, she requested that Reddit roast her, which had unintended results. The story's making the rounds again and it's a parable about...vanity? Kindness? Throwing oneself to the Internet's loneliest, most perverted lions? Whatever the reason, it's gained traction again. Here's what went down.Like many brave/stupid people before her, Niece asked Reddit to roast her in the appropriate subreddit. She's stunningly beautiful, so lots of people assumed she was fishing for compliments or marketing herself. Fine.But one response went __beyond__ what was called for. Its length, specificity, and downright cruelty gave the forum pause. Your implants and cry for attention on here only highlight what you and everyone else already suspect... you are insecure. Likely your insecurity stems from always questioning if you really ever earned anything by merit. Most people probably hand you things because they like looking at you. But that's made you vapid, shallow, and unable to perform in any way that adds true value in the world. Your relationships are superficial. Your romance life always has the shadow of doubt. Does he love you... or how you look? If you were disfigured, would anyone give you a second glance based on personality? That nagging feeling will keep you looking for validation. It keeps you in the gym. It makes you post photos online looking for praise or positive attention. It keeps you going back for a nip here and tuck there. Before long you'll look like Donatella Versace with the personality of one of her handbags. You'll shift from being the center of attention to being part of a gaggle of women who make rude comments about younger girls because you feel jealous and rude comments about men who no longer pay attention to you. You'd be better served working on being a better person than hunting for attention on Reddit, but you'll likely die young and your grave will be about as shallow as your personality. DAMN! She likely wasn't anticipating a roast of that scope or depth - the kind of depth that the poster accused her of lacking. Not long after, she deleted her Reddit account, leading to speculation that she simply couldn't handle it. And you know what they say: if you can't stand the heat, don't ask the Internet to mock you.Niece addressed the mini-controversy on Instagram, a medium that's better suited to her assets. View this post on Instagram Alright guys, let's have a talk. First of all, don't worry, I'm all good, no need to send condolences to my family haha. Yes, I did ask for this. 🙃 Yes, I totally freaked out and deleted my Reddit account; my dumb ass used my Instagram username, and judging by the flood of deeply disturbing/visually penisgraphic DMs I was getting, I did not want to lead them here. I see you found me anyway. Hi Reddit! 🙋 To the people who thought I was just fishing: on r/RoastMe? ...wut. To the "ex" who posted: It doesn't sound like we've ever met; also you spelled my name wrong... #IbeforeEexceptafterC So in summary, I am a dumbass and I make reddit really, really angry 😬 Thank you to the majority of commenters, who were actually funny, and thank you to all the nice people who had my back against the people who just got excited about a free pass to use the "c" word. Love you guys 😘 A post shared by Niece Waidhofer (@niecewaidhofer) on May 11, 2017 at 9:26am PDTThe Redditor who seemingly prompted the deletion also responded - and sounds like a good person, actually. Well this blew up. First off, thanks for the gold. I do want to ask for the folks being vitriolic in the comments, please give this girl a break. She deleted her account. She was probably just marketing herself and didn't know what she was doing. Other posts outside of a roast someone asks to participate in are a violation of the /r/roastme rules and are generally just not cool. To those who think I went too far, or was mean and out of line with the nature of the sub... sorry. My sense of humor is dry and I enjoy saying unexpected things. That combination came off as more mean spirited than I generally am. A few of you have been doxxing me or the girl who posted this. That is a clear violation of Reddit's TOS and is creepy and possibly illegal depending on how far you're taking it. Don't harass that girl on other accounts if you find her. Just leave it at what it was, a roast. So what did we learn, kids? My takeaway is that Online's anonymity emboldens people to express themselves in particularly callous ways - especially if the target is a gorgeous woman. And ESPECIALLY if she was literally asking for it.
