Poppy is a YouTube star, rising music artist, and quasi-human. Her mostly Millennial fandom of Poppy Seeds embraces her fem-bot persona and clean slate of a personal history, and are happy to go to virtual-only pre-show meet and greets. But Poppy Truthers aren’t having it, instead scouring Reddit for theories on the human beneath the “milk”-colored hair and porcelain skin. And while she’s not “a full creature of the internet” like some of her non-human contemporaries, she’s making people re-think their own online personas because “we all have a little Poppy to us now.” (The Cut)
