Lipstickalley.com is a toxic, disorganized mess. It’s a place where people tear each other down, often with harsh, biased opinions. The admins let certain users get away with posting whatever they want, even though there's a “warning” at the top about hate speech. Despite that, some members still feel entitled to publicly bash entire ethnic groups. The site often becomes a battleground for who’s “Black enough” to claim the identity, and it’s especially problematic when people who are mixed or biracial are criticized for not aligning with certain standards. Ironically, these same users will defend celebrities like Halle Berry, Beyoncé, and Mya for being Black, but criticize darker-skinned people or others they deem “not Black enough.”While there are some decent posts here and there, typical posts (examples) are "This is why white (or insert other race) people can't be trusted," or "I've been dating this man for 4 months, gave it up 3 weeks in, now pregnant, and he is now marrying someone else, and I don't know what to do," or "This Black male celebrity is dating a snow bunny that looks like a man. That's what he gets for not picking a Black woman." The admins seem to enjoy the chaos. Many users dislike the admin accounts, but you can't do anything about it. They allow favored users to make offensive comments about Caribbeans, Latinas, mixed people, white people, and Asians, but if you call them out, you’re more likely to get reported or punished. You can never ignore or block the official admin account, and the “ignore” feature is practically useless with so many people on the site. I’ve tried deleting my account multiple times and got no response. And guess what? The people who post the offensive content rarely face any consequences.The site is full of women who hide behind the anonymous account feature to share drama or post bizarre opinions. Topics range from unhealthy relationships to bizarre generalizations about women, men, and everything in between. They even have an “ugly children” section where users insult each other’s kids. It honestly feels like many posts are designed to provoke reactions and keep the chaos going. Worse, the admins will expose your real identity if they feel like it, even though the site has an anonymous account option (can be used by all) for this very reason.There’s a real “gang” mentality here. If you disagree with the popular opinions, especially from certain Black women who dominate the platform, you’ll be attacked by other users. They’ll downvote you, report you, or accuse you of being a bully. If they suspect you might be white, they’ll go after you even harder. The site, which was once supposed to be a space for Black women, is actually owned by non-Black individuals and has a very narrow and exclusionary view of what it means to be Black. There’s an African section where only African users are welcomed, and if you don’t fit the mold, you’re told to leave. There are also men on there who spew their hate for women who don't want to date their type or have high standards.The celebrity fan sections are another disaster. If you don’t worship a particular celeb, you’ll face ridicule from the fan club, who will gang up on you or report you for being “disrespectful.” There are also a lot of foreign users who constantly report articles that don’t align with their interests, and yet the site still claims to be focused on US-based Black users. It’s a confusing and frustrating experience, to say the least.If you’re into spending your time in a whirlwind of drama and chaos, this site will fit the bill. Just be prepared for constant trolling, racist and xenophobic content, and a platform swarmed by bots. You’ll find MAGA enthusiasts alongside Black users, all while spewing hateful rhetoric about immigrants and minorities. It’s a mess.
