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 11 months ago (1 children)

How did you feel about acting in barbie?

[–] MargotRobbie 25 points 11 months ago

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

What? Are you supposing you are actually Margot Robbie

[–] MrCaturdayNight 64 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Yay.

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

[–] MargotRobbie 20 points 11 months 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.

Don't go Jason Waterfalls, please stick to the Trevors and Jakes that you're used to

One of my nicknames growing up was Lil Miss Potatoes. But now I'm a grown up, so I'm Lady Taters.

I kept on trying to make an account and it wouldn't let me for some reason.

I was thinking of McDonald's and balls

[–] whenigrowup356 11 points 10 months ago

I still haven't grown the fuck up

[–] krzschlss 11 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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