“People are taking these pictures of me and creating a story they thought would go viral,” Deets says. More broadly, the controversy surrounding Coconut Kitty’s Instagram presence has raised questions about the ever-fluctuating lines between fantasy and reality on social media, and the ethics of representing yourself as something you decidedly are not - even when, as an influencer with a large platform, misrepresentation is sort of, kind of, part of the gig. But she says she never could have anticipated that by editing her photos to look younger, she would be accused of exploiting and grooming minors while receiving a barrage of death threats, and launching a conversation about internet minor safety and sex work. The gambit worked: On Instagram alone, Coconut Kitty has amassed more than 3 million followers, and 11,000 on OnlyFans.
Coconut Kitty “gave me an opportunity to disassociate myself” from the criticism. “Whether they say you’re pretty or ugly or your boobs are lopsided or this or that, it doesn’t matter because it was literally a character I created,” Deets says. She had some reservations about editing her own face to such an extent - mostly about promoting unrealistic or unhealthy beauty standards - but she figured all the big magazines used tools like Photoshop so why couldn’t she? Plus, using a heavily filtered version of her own face helped distance herself from some of the painful critiques she would get while camming. And I was able to hide my identity and still make money off my art.”ĭeets says she wasn’t shy about the fact that she heavily edited her image, referring to her profession as “art and magic” in her Instagram bio and not deleting older photos on her page. “I just wanted to create a fantasy, just a character. Significantly, she looks young - much younger than Deets herself, though Deets refused to reveal her real age to Rolling Stone, deeming it “irrelevant.” “I wanted to make something that looked like a real-life anime character - small chin, big eyes - that was made in my likeness, because I use a picture of myself and I edit it,” Deets explains. In her photos, Coconut Kitty’s face is essentially a heavily edited version of Deets’: She has enormous, saucerlike eyes, a smattering of freckles on her cheeks and nose, and cascades of mermaid-length hair. “Coconut Kitty,” or as she is known on Instagram, is a hugely popular Instagram model and creator on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform popular among NSFW creators that allows influencers to directly monetize content.
