Furor Poeticus 16,370 Posted July 29 The way the last supper is such a commonly reinterpreted theme in media and yet it wasn’t until queer people and a plus size woman were shown in a similar setting (because it was Le Festin des Dieux being referenced) that right wing idiots got upset. Religious conservatives are so pathetic 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rorman Nockwell 56,862 Posted August 5 Gymnastics Discourse There are a lot of accounts saying that Rebeca Andrade of Brazil was talking smack about Simone Biles and it is NOT true fyi The two are good friends so don't listen to the NONSENSE https://remezcla.com/sports/simone-biles-rebeca-andrade-root-for-your-rivals-heartwarming-exchange-paris-olympics/ https://x.com/TODAYshow/status/1819104833925795871 Rebeca has never said anything bad about Simone (or vice versa). In fact, Simone even had her on her Netflix documentary Simone has beef with another US gymnast called MyKayla Skinner, though MyKayla said that this team of gymnast didn't work as hard for their Olympic spots as what her team did (or something along those lines) So then when the team won gold, Simone posted this (and MyKayla blocked her) 2 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embach 43,625 Posted August 11 I watched men's breakdancing quarter finals and I have a lot of respect for b-boys. So talented guys, such great amazing physical skills that require a lot of strength. I could never. I'm so glad that breakdancing is in the Olympics now, it's definitely a sport and a great one! Edit: I realised that the TV played rerun pf yesterday's breakdance battles but still i watched until the end, the semi-finals were so strong and the final was great as well! Super talented and amazing dancers! Congratulations to Canada and Phil Wizard for the gold! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She made it to the Olympics that’s a big achievement and iconic. Idk why people are so upset by her, let our girl dance!! We do love an intelligent, pretty and talented woman <3 edit: wait I didn’t realize how mean people were being. I knew people didn’t think she did well but that’s actually awful. Why are people so pressed about someone DANCING she seems really sweet. Girly made it to the Olympics and these people didn’t. maybe not, but kinda curious if people would bully her this badly if she was a man 2 Quote ♡︎ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WTF did people expect her to do, say no? Idiots. It's an experimental sport based on personal expression Who's to say what's good and what isn't Also people get picked for stuff over more talented people all the time like all the people who beat Lana for Grammys 2 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Embach 43,625 Posted August 28 The Paraolympics Ceremony is on TV right now and it looks so gorgeous and classy. It's serene but artsy. I have huge huge respect for paraolympic sports athletes! They're so talented and strong, even with their physical disabilities. That's something I admire about them, they're great role models for everyone! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
