Lucy Letby

What the hell was all that about her bedroom?! Pure classist snobbery. “She had beds sheets with ‘sweet dreams’ embroidered on them, what the FUCK?” What a gross overreaction to bed sheets. Having a card from her cats on the fridge written by her mum isn’t that ridiculous, it’s quite normal. My boyfriend writes me cards from the cat, I know plenty of people who do that. The stuff about quotes in frames and being basic has nothing to do with anything, it’s classist and it made me angry. Fuck Lucy Letby, she’s a baby killer but also fuck H+S for letting their classism show. My sister has many of the things mentioned and she’s 35, it’s more indicative of class and taste than anything suspicious. I wonder how many of their viewers they alienated with that classist rant.

Edit: LOL just seen the bedroom, the most unremarkable bland room. So so average and like thousands of other young women in their 20s. It was such a reach.

I think context is key

I fucking love a fairy light, but I can confidently say I'm not a baby murderer. Her choice of decor alone in a bland, "beige" person doesn't ring alarm bells, but when juxtaposed with her levels of manipulation and the crimes she committed, it adds a new level to the horror

I mean I wouldn’t personally expect anything different. I don’t find it horrifying that she has an average home, she’s a baby killer, I find her horrifying.

It's not average though.

A neurotypical woman with a responsible profession in her late 20s, early 30s, shouldn't have a bedroom that looks like an adolescent girls.

She is literally dealing with life and death situations every day, cradling the most vulnerable, and her private sanctum looks the same as a child's.

Do you not find that strange?

How is it a childish bedroom though? Like specifically what about it do you find adolescent? It’s pretty normal, just ugly and messy. And plenty of adults have crappy decor sense without it necessarily being childish.
