Body positivity is all about celebrating yourself and feeling confident. However, one woman’s self-administered pats on the back haven’t always gone down so well on social media. The TikToker, called Elle, has ostensibly dedicated her account to telling the world how “pretty” she is. Now, this auto-appreciation may not sound too outrageous (after, all isn’t that what many users do, in one form or another?), but what viewers have really taken issue with is how she addresses other women. “Average girls” is her preferred moniker for people she deems to be less attractive than she is. In one clip, Elle mimes along to the song ‘Bed Peace’ by Jhené Aiko, while the text overlay reads: “When I compliment average girls ’cause I know it means a lot coming from a pretty girl like me.” The eight-second video racked up more than 12 million views and 1.8 million likes in just five days, as more than 27,900 commentators voiced their opinions on the boast. @caterpiye So pretty today “I need this confidence,” one admirer wrote. “You look so good!” said another. Meanwhile, others insisted she could big herself up without putting other people down, with one stressing: “It’s easy to call yourself pretty without calling other girls ‘average’." However, hundreds of others pointed out that the whole thing was probably just a joke. And, to be fair, take one glance at her TikTok and you’ll see that almost every upload is titled ‘So pretty today’ or a variation on that theme. Elle clearly enjoys ruffling people’s feathers – captioning one video: “Me scrolling past all the hate comments trying to ‘humble me’ knowing the’yre all average girls on their 3rd bag of chips today.” @caterpiye So pretty today. My eyes look like small marbles in this one Another reads: “When I compliment girls wearing makeup ‘cause it means a lot coming from a girl that looks pretty without it.” And a third says: “Tried my best to look like an average girl tonight so I can blend into the crowd.” And whilst many people have failed to register that she’s just being playfully provocative, others have insisted that she deserves to rate herself highly. “Okay jokes aside, you’re actually really pretty,” one wrote. While another added: “Bae, you slay every day. Remind them.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

A pair of Manchester United fans have gone viral after showing support for striking train drivers, despite it disrupting their travel plans for the FA Cup final. United are playing Man City at Wembley today (June 3) amid the walkout by members of the train drivers’ union Aslef, which also coincides with the Epsom Derby as well as other sporting and music events. Football fans were advised not to travel by train to Wembley, leaving thousands having to drive to London instead. The strike follows a walkout by train drivers on Wednesday and by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) on Friday in long-running disputes over pay, jobs and conditions. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Two fans were asked about the strikes on BBC Breakfast, and they showed their support for those involved despite the disruption. "I'm not going to criticise them for going on strike, because I do believe in fair pay and conditions for everybody. I won't criticise the strikers…” one of the fans told the BBC reporter. “It’s difficult because if you’re picking a strike, you’re going to pick a day that’s going to have maximum impact.” The comments were praised by other social media users, with one writing: “Great to hear members of the public defending the striking railway workers even though the strike has effected them.” Another said: “This is something the govt needs to hear. Solidarity from the public, they need to get out of their London bubble…” One more wrote: “Wow, never thought I’d like a Man Utd fan but here we are.” Meanwhile, Manchester United have the chance to deny Manchester City the treble in Saturday’s final at Wembley. It’s the first time the two Manchester clubs have met in the FA Cup final. Have your say in our news democracy.
