#PROUDRANDI? why I disagree with *AWKWARD GOAT*

In this video, I dive deep into the viral controversy around the social-media campaign #ProudRandi, started by influencer & counsellor Divija Bhasin (instagram handle @awkwardgoat3). What began as an attempt to reclaim a misogynistic slur (“randi” / “ra**i”) turned into a massive debate across Instagram, X (Twitter) and Reddit — raising questions about language, sex-work stigma, influencer responsibility and minors joining viral trends. I cover: • What exactly did Divija Bhasin say and why did her reel go viral.  • The usage of the slur “randi” and why many activists argue it’s not just another word to reclaim.  • What happened after the hashtag #ProudRandi spread — including minors adding it to bios, legal complaints & FIRs under POCSO.  • The arguments from both sides: supporters who call it bold and critics who say it erases sex workers’ trauma. • Why this matters for creators, feminism, digital activism and the language of empowerment in India. I used the jhaduwali example to put across my point. It was an idea put forth by a very smart classmate, so all credit goes to her : https://www.instagram.com/tiny_khushi...
