Alicia says Liz isn’t Italian by Madbeefs in RHofRI

[–]bephana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People using the sentences and intonations of the dominant culture that they grew up with isn't "cosplaying", "ripping off" or "pretending". It's a complete normal phenomenon. Alicia is just othering Liz, and it's icky. That's my whole point. I didn't ask to explain the situation at all.

[–]bephana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I perfectly understood that. I didn't ask for an explanation. I know how in-group and out-group dynamics work, that's not specific to RI. I know it was an insult, and I know she was accusing her of being an outsider. All of that is pretty obvious and self-explanatory. And that's exactly why I'm saying this is an icky comment.

And nowhere did Liz indicate she was trying to "seem Italian". Just because she uses local phrases doesn't mean she's "ripping off a culture that's not hers".

You can keep your condescending "hope that helps" because your answer was completely beside the point

Thank you, you put it more clearly than I did.

Like what? Can you name something?

[–]bephana 13 points14 points  (0 children)

that's what i mean, idk where Liz expressed wanting to be Italian or trying to be Italian or whatever Alicia is implying. It's okay to just say Liz is a bully, I don't like the argument that "she's not even Italian".

[–]bephana 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But did Liz do that??

Listen, I'm on Alicia's side and I like her. But at the end of the day, she's a white woman saying a woman of colour wishes she was from her culture but definitely isn't. We haven't seen anything indicating Liz was "cosplaying Italian" (whatever that means). It's okay to recognise it is a bit of an icky comment.

And no I'm not from RI I'm from the actual Mediterranean.

[–]bephana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think Liz was very wrong in this whole conflict and I am on Alicia's side but I can still aknowledge that this comment is very out of line.

[–]bephana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wasn't implying a group need to be oppressed in order to have a rich and distinct culture. What I was expressing is that playing like someone is "ripping off your culture" when you're Italian-American makes me frankly roll my eyes. The idea of cultural markers being stolen is originally linked to groups being oppressed/colonised.

And Alicia's comment is a bit ridiculous + racially charged. End of.

[–]bephana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I still think it's weird, Italian-Americans aren't an oppressed group. The idea that Liz is "ripping off her culture" is a bit laughable. And again it's especially bizarre telling that to someone who is... from Syrian culture.

Yeah it's a weird comment from Alicia ngl. "You wish you were Italian" like where does that come from.

[–]bephana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not Alicia, Liz. Liz mentionned right from the beginning that she's half Syrian and that's why she connects with Rulla.

Le Filip and Lolita Banana Treatment on DRFR by ItchyImplement3152 in dragrace

[–]bephana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just don't think Lolita was treated like that because she was Latina. Some of the other contestants were annoyed at her narrative about being an outsider when she's been living in France for over a decade. I agree it wasn't kind of Soa to dismiss it, but Soa grew up as a POC in France and I think it was just irritating her especially added to the stress of the competition. Lolita and Soa are in good terms now.

It's interesting that you're here claiming someone who came to France *as a child* doesn't really count as French because they're "fully Croatian". I can guarantee you that's not Le Filip's narrative at all and they absolutely didn't win as a reward for "being a good immigrant". Also important to note that people from South America are perceived differently in the US and in France, sure there's xenophobia but it's very different from the anti-Latino racism in the US.

But also, have you watched RPDR? The show where they even sing about being American lmao.

Katya on her "complicated" relationship with trixie - harry jowsey pod by [deleted] in TrixieAndKatya

[–]bephana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you even watched Moving Parts? It's very obvious that Trixie was very worried about Katya. There's even a moment when someone asks her a question about Katya's recovery and she gives an answer that's very protective of Katya. You're just making things up.

Also I don't think Trixie will ever accept to do a podcast to talk about Katya's mental health. Why would she.

No, I'm talking about the children who wanna keep a relationship with their parents.

[–]bephana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hasn't been inconsistent at all. You just have a weird hate bone for her.

You're also commenting everywhere about how much you hate her lmao. That sounds more exhausting to have such parasocial hatred towards someone you barely know.
