Notably, Ethel Cain has faced controversies related to old resurfaced posts. She mentioned in her Cosmopolitan interview:
"I am anti-internet. I think that the internet is a breeding ground for all of the worst parts of human nature. I think that the internet will be the death of society and human beings as a species. You can quote me on that when we are all dead."
She also added:
"I love Pinterest. I am on Pinterest right now. It is like Tumblr, but I don't have to talk to people. I have a lot of boards for weird shit. I just love to look at pictures."

Fans soon gathered under the comments to pen their thoughts on Ethel Cain's stance regarding the internet. Below are some of their reactions:
"According to Rolling Stone, Ethel Cain, whose real name is Hayden Anhedönia, admitted to using the N-word and the phrase "build that wall!" in social media posts when she was 19. In her apology, she stated her actions were provocative and attention-seeking, expressing remorse for the harm caused.", noted a netizen.+
"Nothing screams anti-internet like going viral on the internet.", shared another.
"Strong take 😅 the internet amplifies the worst, but it also gave many of us a voice and her a global audience. Mixed blessing.", opined a third.
Others also chimed in:
"Calling the internet humanity’s downfall? Sure, if you ignore the trolls, scams, and endless drama that make it unbearable every day", penned an X user.
"It's not the worst ground If you are doing what's right Then you won't be bothered by what others think", stated another.
"Social media, yes. The entire internet?? You just sound like the psychotic old people who thought all music was evil decades ago.", commented a third.
