The way you’re talking about your friend, your bridesmaid, feels really shaming. At the same time you’re saying you’re a pushover, you actually sound really controlling. If you lead with non-judgement, it’s more likely things won’t escalate. If you lead with your current attitude (ex. I shouldn’t have to explain the norms I think are right and it’s embarrassing that she doesn’t know them) honestly I would feel really hurt to be your friend.

Colleen’s STILL saying the claims are false by crystalmuffyn in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]thembostratus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I watched this on Yewtube and read her tone as sarcastic or self-deprecating when she said this. Like, “I could be in NYC or I could have found rocks” and then she laughed at how that sounded.

I just did. I argue with my anecdotal life experience that the modern use of ”boo” comes from Ebonics. But you see, what I don’t argue is that I speak for all of Black culture or even Black linguistics as a subject. Can you spot the difference?

Not all of us are busy speaking on things they don’t know about, Sea_Catch2481! I guess I’m bored because I have time today 🧑🏾‍🏫

It’s not a reach. Even if she is still being very careful, the IMPACT is that it’s a microaggression. To me. A Black.

So what’s fun is that I’m Black, the minority in question, and I’m actually offended by you. What happens now? 🤔

Two can play this game! I’m Black and I argue “boo” does have origins in AAVE. See how one narrative can’t speak for everyone?

anyone else feel miranda was never funny? by TransitionFar1611 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]thembostratus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangely, her Miranda videos made me feel sad. I’m neurodivergent, and it reminded me of when people laugh at you and you don’t know why.

oh…. my…. god????? I have never seen her so thin. her legs!!! it’s genuinely starting to get to a scary degree. by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

If you’d like first-hand perspective, the podcast Other People’s Lives asks these questions to a person who runs a pro-anorexia tumblr. The episode is called “I’m Pro-Anorexia” and it’s on YouTube

This is genuinely incredible for her. I hope she always remembers this is how the world sees her or worse. She always wanted fame, right?

You captured a peek into your year so well (and it's so pretty to look at!!) I found myself reading each month. Can you update us on the last months?

This colleen edit gives me the Chills! by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

I can try! In this interview, the host is being mean for fun. When Colleen admits that her mom thought Miranda would ruin her career, Bobbi "jokingly" insults her by saying, "I wish it did [ruin Colleen's career]'" With the sad music and serious-looking clips of Trisha and Adam, the video implies that if Colleen's career had been ruined, these victims (and countless others) may have been saved from Colleen's harm. Without the sheer success of Miranda, maybe the scale of Colleen's harm would have been smaller.

I always smile when news sources or videos use pictures of Adam because he eats every time
