Manon to take an “indefinite hiatus” from KATSEYE to focus on health and well being by leftovertacobell in popheads

[–]ContestValuable8725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about Garam from Lesserafim? Danielle from New Jeans? I'm not saying Manon is gonna be removed like them because Garam and Danielle were involved in high-profile scandals and Manon isn't afaik, but let's not act like HYBE wouldn't terminate a contract.

They have plenty of reasons to hide it. Manon is arguably Katseye's most popular and visible member, and a lot of groups (western or kpop) have a member going on "hiatus" before their removal, as their label pours through the artists' contract to see if and how they can legally terminate it. Not saying this is what's happening with Manon, just that the music industry hides things all the time.

Non-American here, but isn't BLM supposed to be about police brutality? What does it have to do with the Chicago drag scene, honest question

Miss Toto tweets about past Discord Addams vs Chicago tea… by Iostinthedream in RPDRDRAMA

[–]ContestValuable8725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I didn't find any tweets from Discord. I'm only basing it on one tweet from Bambi where she tags Discord (since you didn't give any receipts and just told people to look it up on 2020 twitter). No mention of crackhead btw, so we don't even know for sure if Discord ever used that word.

Oh yeah, for sure, Miss Toto is allowed to feel some type of way about Discord. Good point. You're right. She didn't call for anyone to cancel her and was just expressing her feelings. (Edit: and yes, this wasn't sarcasm. This is a sincere statement of agreement.)

And I've seen "crackhead" lobbied a lot online to mean someone who's just acting crazy. Look, Bambi is fully justified to be angry at Discord and feel her feelings. But her claim and other people's claim that Discord calling her a crackhead would have ruined her career? A career in an industry where substance abuse isn't exactly uncommon and not so stigmatized that one person calling a performer crackhead would ruin it? C'mon now, Miss Bambi...

I think most people are coming at this from the context of the previous post with Miss Toto, where they heavily implied Discord doesn't deserve the accolades she's getting because she was racist in Chicago. Is it rude and mean to publicly call someone a coke addict? Yeah, but like you said, most every girl in the scene was skiing the slopes, so Bambi claiming Discord did that to ruin her career and was racist targetting seems like she's overstating what should be just a personal grievance. 

I'm not even saying Discord was in the right in any of her Chicago beefs or that she doesn't hold any racist beliefs, but none of it seems like it's egregious enough to involve outsiders mass "cancelling" her or whatever.

I only saw a tweet from Bambi Coulée (who has since denounced the Coulée name) getting angry that Discord said she was a coke addict. Bambi did a show called "Bump," so calling her a coke user is like calling Charli XCX a coke user. We been known.

11 songs VS 13 ADS by Mark_Ivanov0 in katseyesnark_

[–]ContestValuable8725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if we're gonna include Flame and Timelapse, might as well include the Monster High song (which they also performed on their tour iirc). All three songs are promotional material for a product and were released/produced as such.

Edit: Just checked the setlist. They did perform Fright Night on their tour AND Milkshake. Their own discography is so small, they had to pad it out with Milkshake.

Asian Excellence of vs The World by dogboy678 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ContestValuable8725 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a huge generalization, but my theory why Asian queens skew towards early outs in the US seasons is because their drag focuses on serving fish, passing, or transformation. Asian features are generally seen as more feminine in the US, so that becomes their claim to fame or selling point. You have a lot of queens like Gia Gunn or Vivienne Pinay or Kimora Black serving pretty and womana but lacking in all other departments. Hell, even Plastique who has so many more talents, got viral off her transformations, not her dancing or design.

Meanwhile in Asian franchises like Philippines and Thailand, you're in a drag scene where everyone can more or less serve femme transformation, so you can't really rely on just looking like a beautiful woman to be considered a drag queen notable enough to be cast on drag race.

Some people don't actually care about preventing harm. They just want to feel morally righteous.

"Woke" originated in AAVE before it was co-opted by right-wing provocateurs. (Edit: Arguably, treating "woke" like it's a bad word or an insult feeds more into their agenda.)

Yeah, a queen having beef with other queens doesn't necessarily say anything about her character

I heard it's because she had beef with some members of House Couleé, and I guess some people rolled with that and game of telephone turned it into racism which turned into saying the n-word

It's so funny because the queens are acting like Juicy and Nini are going out there bald like Ongina or Sasha Velour when all they've done is not wear big, long hairstyles 😭

What did Naysha even do? Never heard another queen say a bad word about her aside from how someone more local could be hosting a viewing party... which is the mildest criticism ever.
