I have no problem seeing beyond her cleavage, so you might want to ask yourself if the problem is with YOU and the other prepubescent crowd who still act like it's the first time they've locked themselves in the bathroom with their parents National Geographic magazine. Personally, this attack on her breasts, and the subsequent judging her IQ score by her cup size, is what I find really tired, cheap, and pathetic. I know that the theory of evolution alludes some people, but surely you understand that these comments are a reflection on your lack of character and not hers, right?And honestly, you can't blame people getting tired of female 'sexy' YouTubers pushing their breasts coincidentally into every shot either.
It's cheap and pathetic in my opinion.
I was waiting for you to show up on this thread ...I've known her personally for years. Heck, I've watched her animals for her.
It won't matter if I say a million good things about her, the "We know better" crowd is about as likely to change their minds as people are to change political parties based on what they read on an Internet forum.
@VanessaS, her cleavage is telling you something. Having big tits isn't a choice. Using them in a certain way is. Do you know my cup size? No? Maybe that's because I don't rely on it to get views and attention. The fact that we all know more about her measurements than her tarantulas says something. If she wants to exploit the benefits of having a generous bosom, she has to be prepared for the backlash. If she wore a different shirt or framed her videos so that they're more than tits and false eyelashes, people would judge her by something other than her body. She made the choice to be evaluated by her body when she chose to make it the subject of the videos rather than the spiders.
You just wanted an excuse to post that video, didn't you?
YesYou just wanted an excuse to post that video, didn't you?
The purpose of the video should NEVER be to create a video if the situation is a hazardous one. A video should be done to copy proper care for tarantula(s) for learning purposes. I do ALL of my rehousing's near the floor. The worse case scenario is a very small drop to the floor. If it isn't near the floor preparations should be done to do some type of effort to prevent a fall. I haven't done any breeding so I could be naive on that area.THAT did it for you? Don't watch any of my videos then. Or any tarantula videos, maybe, cause you know... we don't put these things on a leash
I understand what you are saying, man. And I have no reasons for doubts about your words, except for knowledge. Especially if someone is a breeder (skilled or not, I don't know her well like you, so I wouldn't talk about) simply IMO you can't house what is probably the most hardcore obligate burrower, a P.muticus, into 10 cm of substrate.I was waiting for you to show up on this thread ...
I think it's funny that people are hating on a hobbyist that has reproduced what around a hundred species over 20 years? It would be interesting to know( with proof of course)how many species they have bred and how many sacs they produced ....
I wonder if any of these haters realise that some of the top keepers in the hobby not only like Marita but also send her alot of there MM males because of her breeding success...
I have bought a few T's from her slings and adults and they all thrived.. Her knowledge is damn near second to none and she was very pleasant to do business with...
If they actually watched her videos or spoke to her they would probably realise that she is light years above them in her knowledge and care of Theraphosids but because she does it a little different they turn there noses up at her...
I really wish she would drop in on this thread and school these fools ...
There's no hiding it when you carry that kind of cleavage around, but she does leverage them for effect. Her affect is probably intentionally on the sexy side & her videos a little click-baity with her "top pick-a-number adjective tarantulas." I think it's kind of amusing, her leaning in to better display her goods followed by a breathy, "Mmmm, check out this big boy." Look deep into the camera, bat the eyes, cue pouty lips.I have no problem seeing beyond her cleavage, so you might want to ask yourself if the problem is with YOU and the other prepubescent crowd who still act like it's the first time they've locked themselves in the bathroom with their parents National Geographic magazine.

There's nothing wrong with being in the frame & I actually prefer it because it's more personal, enjoyable & instructive, e.g. TheDarkDen's channel. That said, she does have a hard time sharing the limelight with the spiders.The video is quite often pointed at her instead of the tarantula and she is quite often looking at the camera.
Perpetuate rape culture much?@VanessaS, her cleavage is telling you something. Having big tits isn't a choice. Using them in a certain way is. Do you know my cup size? No?

ive just never seen people keep OBs on 3" of substrate. i pretty much stopped watching after that.I was waiting for you to show up on this thread ...

It's ok to do things different if results are goodive just never seen people keep OBs on 3" of substrate. i pretty much stopped watching after that.
Draw false equivalences much?Perpetuate rape culture much?
Haven't seen a leap like that since the summer games.Perpetuate rape culture much?
I am not meaning to say there is anything wrong with someone being in the frame. And for me it isn't about whether she is her flaunting her body. It is about attention to the subject of the video - the tarantula.There's no hiding it when you carry that kind of cleavage around, but she does leverage them for effect. Her affect is probably intentionally on the sexy side & her videos a little click-baity with her "top pick-a-number adjective tarantulas."

This truly was the win for me on this thread. It hit all my issues and made several fair points. Thanks!I hadn't watched any of her videos, but I did send her two males on a breeding "loan" at the suggestion of a forum member who knows her in person. This isn't the review section, so I won't say more.
Subsequent to my breeding "loan," I watched some of her videos and found her husbandry to be sub-par, coupled with an unteachable temperament. That alone would have warned me off sending my boys. People would comment asking why she does x or suggesting she do y, and her response would be something like, "I'm a professional, when you have as many tarantulas as I do you have to do things differently, I know more than you, it works fine for me..." and then her fanboys attack the original commenter. I'm not impressed.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with that.. Take my baboons for example... I have one P. muticus that closes her self off and refuses live prey left on the surface.. When I open her burrow and toss a cricket in she eats no problem..I understand what you are saying, man. And I have no reasons for doubts about your words, except for knowledge. Especially if someone is a (skilled or not, I don't know her well like you) breeder... simply IMO you can't house what is probably the most hardcore obligate burrower, a P.muticus, into 10 cm of substrate.
That's... wrong.
So you advocate that little amount of substrate in the containers? I am not trying to be hateful. I just want to know why I am buying these giant bags of Zoo Med. I am wondering why people get SLAMMED in this forum for not protecting the T from falls but yet it is okay for the expert to NOT prevent them from falls.I was waiting for you to show up on this thread ...

Read the post Just above the one you posted.. Lol..So you advocate that little amount of substrate in the containers? I am not trying to be hateful.

I would also love for her to visit. This isn't about schooling any FOOLS. This is about discussion of what is right or wrong. We can't have this both ways. Lets get to the facts rather than the attacks. I don't mind being wrong as long as I can learn something.
