I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “Moops.”

Let’s face it though, the only thing interesting about Meghan Markle is she married a royal and caused the biggest royal scandal since Lady Di. So far she has nothing to offer that’s even remotely as interesting to people as the gossip surrounding Megxit. And she knows it, which is why she doles out little tidbits…

For the same reason Black people availing themselves of their 2nd amendment rights as freely as white people in 1967 made ol’ Uncle Ronnie Reagan pass gun control laws in California. Not some pinko hippie who didn’t want open carry, but Saint Ronald of the Divinely Conservative, Mr Star Wars himself.

Her podcast had her describe the “fire” in the “housing unit” she claimed they were put in when in South Africa. Her “housing unit was actually the High Commisioner’s mansion, and the “fire” was an oil heater letting off some smoke, as they do.

She was already (a tasteful and carefully curated) beige and insipid before Harry. I remember reading her blog before it got scrubbed from the internet and it was basically a less high-end, PC Goop with some Canadian references. She was a mediocre at best actress on a really fluffy and forgettable show.

Why can't black people decide laws don't apply to them just like white people do?  See: Cliven Bundy, Donald Trump, et al.?

Pretty sure they weren’t even trying to code Arab with the Dothraki- either in the books or the series- seemed pretty clear they were going for an amalgamation of various steppes nomads and North American Plains peoples (the big miss for both of those was not making them horse archers instead of swordsmen but that’s…

I checked the byline before I read this story. Erin normally does the Sovereign Citizen pieces. They are a whole bunch of crazy.

I haven’t paid much attention to Markle. Never knew who she even was before Harry, like most people. I’m certain she experienced racism once they started dating and got married. I’m sure it was a huge, difficult adjustment from the life she had before. All true. I’m sure that experience made her suicidal, much like it…

“The day before, while Meghan was on the photo shoot for this issue, Harry had been left to his own devices, he tells me. “You were gone for, like, ten hours yesterday,” he marvels to his wife. “Tell her the first thing you said when you got back last night,” he says, turning to me. “She said, ‘I’m not a model.’ “I…

She wouldn’t have merited a Dirtbag blurb before her marriage. Why would she suddenly become independently interesting now?

It’s not a Royal Family membership requirement to be interesting. None of them have been or are right now even the untouchable Diana.

So we’re in favor of “““blind casting””” minorities in roles but the moment any insult is lobbed AT THE CHARACTER suddenly it’s time to bring up real world parallels and why that’s Not Okay. Makes sense, very rational.

I have a nagging suspicion that once you remove the Royal drama, she’s actually an incredibly boring person. Her feminism isn’t particularly edgy or ground-breaking. Her fashion sense is very plain and unremarkable. It’s not like she has an interesting and exciting career for her to keep us interested in. She’s a…

Well, all the beige lifestyle celebrities (Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Blake Lively etc) also only offer rarefied blandness. Meghan Markle does not have to be compelling to be successful, she just needs an audience who aspires to her beige adjacent life.

“So diversity hires only count if they’re infallibly perfect representatives of their real world identities?”

This piece would be stronger if it included any analysis of the scene from this episode where the character expresses her own feelings about her treatment.

It really is just tits and dragons.

Jesus Christ you need to mention the article is full of SPOILERS! Please do, or put a black bar over the spoiler sections, so someone else doesn’t read what I did.

So diversity hires only count if they’re infallibly perfect representatives of their real world identities? You all gonna keep trying to find dumb fucking reasons to ‘cancel’ this show until something sticks, eh? Keep trying, this excuse is even weaker than the last few.
