I'm using my real name because I was here to virally promote a movie, just like all the other celebrities on reddit before.

It was a very successful promotion.

[–] drbi 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How did you feel about acting in barbie?

[–] MargotRobbie 25 points 2 years ago

I'm still on strike... Please go support it. Thanks.

What? Are you supposing you are actually Margot Robbie

[–] MrCaturdayNight 65 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People don’t just make things up on the internet. I’m kinda stoked to be responding to a comment on a Margot Robbie comment.

[–] MargotRobbie 25 points 2 years ago

Yay.

Need all the help I can get for my Oscar campaign.

[–] MargotRobbie 20 points 2 years ago

Of course I am, why else did you think I spent 2 months here discussing the importantance of sincerity in an increasingly commercialized and absurd hyperconsumerist world, as well as the need for jaded adults to reject cynicism and regain their humanity?

I didn't mention the name of the movie here so it's not a promo, so, still not against strike rules.

I like not being easily identifiable on social media. When I was a kid my parents taught me to not reveal my real name on the internet and nowadays it seems that your real life and internet life should be the same.

I still haven't grown the fuck up

[–] krzschlss 11 points 2 years ago

I didn't. It's my IRL nickname. It means 'short circuit' (as in 'easily frustrated'). I'm the opposite of it, I'm the calmest person on this planet. My friends thought it would be funny. (the full word spells 'Kurzschluss')

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s the name of my favorite Star Ship! USS Defiant

Well I'm a very confused person, and I'm surprised at the world around me.

Have you seen kiwis? They're adorable!

The bird is alright too I guess
