I kinda feel bad for Raygun

She went out and tried to do something, and nobody told her no until it got so far she ended up humiliated and harassed.

The committee that allowed her to go to the olympics fucked yup hard and deserves all the blame.

Idk man it takes some serious lack of self awareness for her to think she belonged at the Olympics. Has everyone just been kissing her ass her entire life?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Or, maybe she has absolutely no fucks to give, a giant set of balls, and took her chance to go to the Olympics and make fucking made sure that the entire world knows her name.

That kinda what happens when nobody has the spine to say no and things are judged by committee instead of by experts.

Maybe she's just terminally clueless?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 12 points 1 week ago

I don't feel bad for her, because she has been a total cunt about it.

The Internet became the breakdance committee after learning it was still a thing from a 1980s starter pack meme so don’t worry we’ll never hear the end of it

Another culture mocked into irrelevance

Hard to feel bad for someone who rigged the selection process for herself.

For a second, I thought this was the real performance. I haven't watched any of the Olympics, and from what I heard, this could very much have been the original.

It wasn't that much better, though.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Same here. Finally tried watching it and was so embarrassed for her I didn't make it 1/3 through. That shit should come with a trigger warning for those of us that hate seeing people humiliate themselves.

And you know what? I don't remember the name of this woman, but I have some basic ideas about who she is. Not a single olimpiada partitioneer can boast this. In regard of fame, she is better. At least from my standpoint.

Nah, the Turkish dude who looked like a random dad on a Saturday shooting and gaining a silver also retained fame

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, that guy is even cooler. But totally not an artistic material, I'm afraid. Too "random dad on a Saturday"

Ray Gun’s breaking career is so dead that they opened a Spirit Halloween inside of it.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Ray gun-ned down and is hence now a skeleton
