There's that person going around impersonating Margot Robbie. At least there was, I haven't seen them in a while.
People seemed to love it, and most seemed to believe it was actually her. When I called them out (because it's really fucking weird), they kind of said it was just in good fun. I'm sure she'd agree 🙄
Ah yes it would perhaps rub her the wrong way…
That user did do a good job of being in character, I thought. They would reference something like “everybody has to see my new hit film…” in a way that was over-the-top enough for to come across as a joke to me.
Perhaps we can both at least give them kudos for providing us an early debate point on the fediverse impersonation conundrum!
it was definitely meant as a joke, it just wasn't funny. It's like saying those half-assed "characters" in Times Square are funny when in reality they're just a nuisance.
