Will Sparks is under fire after posting to Facebook that women who post images or videos of themselves online should consider doing something “GOOD,” “MOTIVATING,” “INSPIRING,” or maybe even “EXCITING” or “ENTERTAINING.”
The Melbourne Bounce DJ and producer wrote “You have this massive following yet all you it for is to fulfil your SIGNIFICANCE and love for CERTAINTY aka ‘likes/views'. You'll feel a lot better contributing to these lives, helping them to grow. You can still film yourself, but maybe say something that could better the viewers day. And if you're doing both. THEN GREAT! AT LEAST YOU'RE DOING YOUR BIT!”
Thanks for the GOOD, MOTIVATING, INSPIRING or maybe even ENTERTAINING or EXCITING content, @WillSparks. pic.twitter.com/NLT5CcM5EW
