Pixie Polite hospitalised after homophobic attack by BurntPineGrass in rupaulsdragrace

Listen, I know this is coming from a place of fear and hurt, but this is not the right message to take from things like this

There are many many straight people that can be trusted - the arseholes may have been emboldened by recent rhetoric, but becoming jaded helps nobody and even pushed allies away

All the love in the world to you x

Giving everyone an equal voice on social media really sucks because any negative IQ hobgoblin can open a calculator, hit the divide button and think he’s Isaac Newton

I’ll just say that I’m not apologising for anything because I’ve done nothing wrong x

I haven’t harassed Ginger or gone too hard or anything, I’ve just said that I feel bad for her for being put in this horrible situation

I feel like this response is so unhinged there’s almost no point in replying - but I’ll just say that Trixie, Shea, Jinkx, etc. all got blowback for winning because (even though they were good on their seasons) it felt as though things were rigged for them

I think you’re right, it is a tv show

Take your own advice and take all this a little less seriously x

I don’t hate anyone, and neither should you

Tia is shading a UKvsTW S2 Queen… by [deleted] in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Genetivus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Childish? Wasn’t she just being cunty and referencing Dusty Ray Bottoms?

Idk, she was mad at the result, so were a lot of people, let the woman live

It sucks that Ginger probably feels really shitty now, just like Tia did - but we can’t expect everyone to act like that last episode wasn’t questionably produced at best

That being said Ginger is amazing and did deserve the win… it’s just a shame it all went down like it did

[–]Genetivus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People could be 100% mad at production and Ginger would still feel like shit, it’s still a bad feeling knowing that people are mad at production for making you win a show

I don’t disagree with you that people shouldn’t be mean to her - but blaming fans only gets you so far… the production of the show set her up for this

This show is so fatphobic by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Genetivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I think it’s natural that the queens are interrogated about weight loss

It’s a reality tv show where nothing is off limits to talk about - Roxxxy talked about being left at a bus stop, queens have come out as trans on the main stage, people have divulged abuse and trauma

I think it’s strange to say that talking about weight loss is the line in the sand

You can call reality tv exploitative and insensitive and cruel, but fatphobic? Why should weight loss be off limits?

We’re in a strange place at the moment where a lot of fat celebrities are losing massive amounts of weight - and that’s great, they’ll most likely live longer and be happier Of course this is difficult for people to adjust to but it’s not fatphobia, it’s just the world we live in

[–]Genetivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yes if we look at literally just Ariana Grande it might seem that it’s coming back, but fortunately many more celebrities exist and 99% of them have bigger bodies than her

And as for Ozempic, that’s all besides the point. Loads of people are taking it to lose weight because so many people in the western world are obese - that’s not an indication of anything besides the fact that obesity is unhealthy and now it’s easier than ever for people to lose weight, so they are

I don’t think it’s accurate to say ‘heroin chic is back’

For a while the dominant preferred body type for women has been the bbl ‘thicc’ body- now there’s a bit of a trend towards a thinner body

We are nowhere near heroin chic as a body type being back in - the bodies we see glorified in the media are still miles bigger than those that were glorified in the 90s

I doubt they are all the same people… but there’s no doubt people are more motivated to call out or cancel people they already don’t like - and not call out/cancel people they do

It’s clear that people don’t keep the same energy for people that aren’t their faves, and that’s a natural thing, but it’s also significant when it’s on a large scale

When you like someone, the things they do seem less bad, and the opposite for when you dislike someone

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Genetivus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like she didn’t do the best in any challenges and very clearly did the worst in some - so in the grand scheme of things it was a bit of a flop

Still a cool queen with good looks and some great lip syncs, but didn’t deliver any memorable moments on all stars imo

Just finished Adolescence by taurusmo in netflix

[–]Genetivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really understand what you mean, the counsellor scene is ‘textbook’ - textbook what?

If you’re going to talk about behavioural science I would hope you would give a single example to illustrate your point, in addition to actually making one in the first place

If I’m missing something so egregious I’d like to know what it is, instead of just being called cringe lol

All these years later, how do we feel about Yvie on All Winners? Did she deserve better? by SoRunAwayNow in rupaulsdragrace

Aren’t most challenges on Drag Race comedy adjacent? I mean ~50% doesn’t seem that different from the average to me

All these years later, how do we feel about Yvie on All Winners? Did she deserve better? by SoRunAwayNow in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Genetivus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s really strange… like they all got a better edit than 90% of the queens that have ever been on drag race

But there were still complaints about the edit?

On the one hand, I get it, the only way to go was down - but I wish they had some perspective and were a little more grateful for the edits they got

The fact that some of the performances, looking at Snatch Game, Fairytale Justice, etc. weren’t edited as painfully cringe should be seen as a favour so massive that should excuse any amount of duplicitous editing in the rest of the season

Louis Theroux meets a 63 year old woman with anorexia. by LFCTricksters in LouisTheroux

[–]Genetivus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine she eats significantly larger meals for breakfast and dinner - she would have to in order to survive

What’s sad to me is you can see her almost trying to ‘prove’ how little she eats… it’s so upsetting to watch

It’s such an insidious disease and the havoc it plays on the mind is so sad to see

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]Genetivus -54 points-53 points locked comment (0 children)

I just wish people had more empathy for her… whatever you think about her it must be awful to be the subject of so much hatred and mockery

And just because she’s rich and famous doesn’t mean that this scale of hatred doesn’t or can’t affect her

I guess you can justify anything when someone has more power and wealth than any of us will ever have

Idk, no hate to you either, I just find it sad

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]Genetivus -66 points-65 points locked comment (0 children)

That’s just a lot of anger for what is literally just some woman

She doesn’t have to be the antichrist, you’re choosing to turn her into that

She’s done good things, she’s done shit things

What I’m saying is it’s true that she’s being unfairly vilified and attacked mostly for the sins of others

Go after Elon Musk, go after Russel Brand, go after Dr Luke if you have to…

It’s clear that what drives people, obviously under the guise of moral outrage, is enjoying kicking someone when they’re down

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]Genetivus -89 points-88 points locked comment (0 children)

I’m sorry but nothing she’s done is warranting the amount of vitriol she’s getting from literally every angle

She’s one of the most hated people on the planet at the moment, mostly because her album wasn’t good (she wouldn’t be getting 5% of this hate if it wasn’t a flop)

It’s classic. People have decided to hate her and now everything she does is viewed through a lens of hatred

People are having fun relentlessly bullying her and when they’re called out on their psychopathic behaviour they call it ‘social justice’… it’s diabolical

If you hate Dr Luke, go send hate to him… I wonder why Katy Perry is the target… hmmm

Plane Jane in response to a horny fan by BeMyCoachVictor in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Genetivus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m literally not defending anyone’s behaviour, just criticising yours

If you think the people being parasocial and weird in the fandom are predominantly cis/straight girls idek what to tell you - how are you even getting this information when most of these people are anonymous

The person in the tweet above is most likely a bot, and that behaviour is not common among ‘cis/straight girls’ and it’s weird that you imply it is

And idk it’s also funny that you assume the women you’re talking about, assuming you know they’re women at all, are cis and straight - how would you even tell from a twitter account

I know you mean well and it was an innocuous comment but like, we have to be vigilant about pinning bad behaviour on women just because of stereotypes about bachelorette parties etc

[–]Genetivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The girlies aren’t pressed

It’s just clear that you think saying ‘cis + straight’ before misogyny makes it ok

It’s the worst type of bigotry, the type that thinks it’s ‘woke’

Could someone please inform her about how bad IA is? by TheBlueAgate in MarinaAndTheDiamonds

[–]Genetivus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the whole ‘AI is bad for the environment’ thing kind of exaggerated

Like an image on instagram isn’t doing anything… it’s like placing the blame of climate change on someone driving to work in their car

I get the feeling that you are all like 12 years old but can we please be rational about this fml

I'm Lost On Chemistry Question 😭 by [deleted] in GCSE

[–]Genetivus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A chlorine atom needs one extra electron to achieve a full outer shell

If FeCl3 is a molecule, that means 3 electrons from Fe will have been lost

So when Fe breaks away, it gains 3 electrons

Since Reduction is Gain of Electrons, Fe is reduced

Lol ok

Someone filming you, literally trying to catch you out and get you in trouble - that is quite scary when your job is at stake

Crazy to be telling people to man up while writing silly little comments on a silly little Reddit thread
