What to Know
Social media is full of some of the worst people. And it seems like those people are always the ones with the loudest mouths. Sometimes though, people will clap back, and let them know that those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Self-declared “Catholic Patriot” Olivia Krolczyk recently shared a video on social media claiming that a young boy was gay and deserved to be bullied because he bought makeup at Sephora. I cannot even begin to wrap my mind around why someone believes that’s an acceptable thing to say. And if you agree, you’re part of the problem. Luckily, Krolczyk is getting dragged across social media.
Apparently, she is just full of bad takes.
According to a bio found on Buzz Splatter, Olivia Krolczyk is best known for going viral on TikTok after she received a failing grade on a paper for using the term “biological women” during a discussion about women and sports. That incident led to her becoming a conservative talking head on college campuses, including for Turning Point USA.
So it’s no surprise that she posted a video on social media of a young boy happily showing off his recent Sephora haul. “Little boys don’t act like this,” she claimed. “Little boys don’t wear makeup.” The boy showed off a lip gloss, not the latest Fenty bronzer.
Krolcyk claimed that if she had a son who was acting like the boy in the video, she “would be his first bully.”
“So many of you are gentle parenting in this generation, and look where that’s getting us,” she said. “Children should not know what being gay is at this point,” she said, blaming social media for showing kids “transgenderism” (not a word) and “being gay.” She then suggested we “Bring back bullying.”
The comment section was BRUTAL, and she deserved every word of it.
“This seems like a waste of your time. You’re being bullied all over the internet, and it hasn’t changed You,” transgender actress and activist Alexandra Billings said.
Performer Todrick Hall also chimed in, writing “You ma’am are the reason people dislike Christianity. Little boys DO act like this. If you have to “bully” them to change them, there’s something with YOU. Posting someone’s child on social media and suggesting we bully someone for liking makeup is crazy.”
“Did you know Instagram has a mechanism to report creators for bullying minors?” another commenter wrote.
“I bet he could do your makeup better than you do. 😂,” someone else wrote.
“Tell your parents they were bad at parenting…look what they raised,” another comment read.
Fellow Christians had something to say as well.
“Hi, Christian conservative here,” another comment began. “This is not okay. It is disturbing to see an adult encouraging people to bully a child. He never mentions his sexuality in the video. You are projecting that onto him. Jesus would never encourage bullying. Speak truth with love.”
“Hey so as a Catholic, this is deeply disgusting and Jesus would never agree with that kind of behaviour. You can’t bully anyone let alone a freaking child,” someone else wrote.
“I really hate that your tag proclaims “catholic.” It hurts my heart to see someone supposedly of my same faith who thinks it’s ok to publicly shame a young child in such a hateful way. I’m sure God would think it’s worth it for the virality and views, though. 🙁 “ another user wrote.
The bullying of Olivia Krolczyk didn’t stop on Instagram.
Over on Reddit, someone shared the video from TikTok, and the insults came rolling in.
“She wants to bring back bullying, she better be f—ing careful what she wishes for,” one person wrote. “Because that sword has two edges.”
“It’s crazy how adults want kids to have fun being kids, and then when they do, the adults respond with ‘let’s bring back bullying,’” someone else wrote.
“I’d argue the only acceptable target for bullying are the bullies themselves,” another user added.
Content creator Olivia Julianna also shared a video on Instagram effectively telling Krolczyk to pick on someone who can defend themself.
“@oliviakrolczyk why do you think targeting children is acceptable? Bully me instead since you want to bully someone so bad,” she captioned the video.
