Are people here actually thinking this is literal/serious? Or am i missing something?
I've noticed a pretty sizable gap in what people can see as obvious internet nonsense versus some kind of serious actual problem.
Like all the comments here making it out to be some kind of weird misogyny. It's just an absurdist shitpost lol
people arent a monolith sparkles okay both can be true at the same time
is this some gen z thing I'm too millennial to understand?
I think it's because she is trying to appear as an Asian woman, and some people are getting mad over this
So these two are mocking the people getting mad
Sincerely,
A Gen Zer
Probably mad at Ariana cause of the whole wicked set relationship drama.
Edit. 2021. Oh. Uhhh. No clue.
What drama what I miss?
Redhead left his wife with child for Ariana iirc.
I can see that sparking drama, especially with her also leaving a marriage.
Gen Xer wondering the same thing. The kid hitting thing joke I get, but not what's supposedly making them angry.
Could it just be as simple as "woman does thing, man is upset?" The kind of man that hits his kids probably also hates women.
Maybe? I'm assuming it's a joke I just don't get.
I don’t get it either, but we’re still on the same page with finding it hilarious when kids get hit, right?
No, but I get the dark humor angle.
Same here! Commenting because I hope someone clues us all in.
huh?
if the confusion is making you angry youre welcome to come get a hit in on my kid
… again, huh? why is anyone hitting kids. i dont understand
Those little shits deserve it.
It is their fault Ariana Grande is looking so incredible
its only for because sometimes when celebrities on the internet make you mad or when your kid doesnt understand taxes or also when your nephew tries to explain taxes to you
Hey, don't knock it till you tried it
Don’t knock on it till you’ve knocked it out.
I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down.
he doesn’t understand taxes. i beat him. get it through ur thick head
i hit my nephew one time for trying to explain taxes to me
Ariana Grande wishes she looked as good as a Japanese City Pop artist from the 1980s.
i dont even know what shes doing but i assume these men are justified
First picture, taking a shite
Second picture, examining said shite
Being a woman existing I guess? I don't know. She's not wearing anything outrageous or doing anything crazy or located anywhere for the shoot that would cause alarm to any reasonable person.
woman
😤
I think this photo in particular got alot of backlash because people think she's exaggerating her features to look more Asian. Its not super noticeable, but I think people were sensitive to it because ariana grande has a history of role playing as ethnicities she is not a part of. For example her brown face era when she would often use a blaccent and tanned excessively.
Heres a link to a more in depth reddit discussion about her and her shifting presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/ahdxyc/can_we_discuss_arianas_skin_tone_and_the/
Also a YouTube video of her very cringe use of AAVE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOF7Qaklsw
The whole Spongebob thing isn't a great look. The whole directly insulting the ex-wife of Spongebob who left said ex-wife two months after she gave birth isn't good either. The fact that Spongebob looks like a bobo version of her gay and fantastic brother is just fucking gross.
What on earth are you talking about? Spongebob?
so not even from the actual Spongebob Squarepants show, some musical offshoot
do normal people just know this stuff??
Yes they do if they follow celebrity gossip. This was a big deal as again he looks like a slightly uglier version of her brother and he left his wife 2 months after she gave birth.
