Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
I don't like that she's turned a sex joke into a joke I have to hear my young nieces make....
People can hate on her for whatever reason they want, just because you enjoy her, doesn't mean I have to.
Good on her for capitalising on it, but it's not something I would like to associate my name to for my 15 minutes of fame.
She didn't make a video and then hit the "instant global internet fame button" it's just luck of the draw. Maybe consider limiting your nieces' access to the internet because hawk tuah isn't even the 10th worst thing they can find on youtube. It seems more to me that your siblings probably told you it was fine and you're bitter they didn't immediately stop your nieces from saying it.
That's not Welch's fault though? You can obviously have concern about your nieces making that joke, but don't act like there aren't many other internet memes out there that are just as bad. It's on the parents to police the content that your nieces are consuming.
Sure you can hate, but that speaks volumes on you rather than the person you're hating on.
Look I don't care enough about this to argue with you, I don't like her and it's fine, it doesn't affect your ability to like her, that's your jam and that's cool.

Right back at ya bud.
...And how old are your young nieces, exactly? Because my bet is that they're around 13-16, which is riiiiiiiiiiiiight about the age where I would expect kids to start being really interested in sex.
It's so weird to me that people entirely forget what they were like when they were young, and get so puritanical as adults. I still remember what I was like when I first hit sexual awareness and interest as a child (and it was a lot younger than most people are comfortable admitting!), and that was, um, >30 years ago. Maybe it's just because we get deeply uncomfortable with idea of children having their own sexual life and desires in the US?
Man, I just find the whole thing unfunny, and it feels like some fake forced viral thing. No hate on her trying to capitalize on it, I just don't find it funny and never did.
I didn’t realize she was still enjoying her 30 seconds of fame. Good for her, I guess
I didn't realize she was getting a lot of hate, but I guess it doesn't surprise me.
We're all hustling to make ends meet. She's doing her thing trying to get by like the rest of us. There's no shame in that.
She's funny as hell. I chuckle at everything that comes out of her mouth. Too bad she's completely talentless in all other departments.
Seriously stop putting her on stage, she can't sing. Stop it.
