All of these people are simply finding their own ways to leverage the monarchy to achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. Which is probably what any of us would do if we had intentionally put ourselves in a similar position, as they have, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are basically doing business.

Meanwhile, the royal-friendly British press has been pumping out countless articles in the last 6 months about an Andrew & Fergie remarriage, in order to inundate the public with a fabricated late-life romance - or re-romance, as it were - to offset the actual news of Andrew’s behavio[u]r.

Whelp, here we are. Deadspin has finally spun down.

Came here for this video.  This is the real jam, that RuPaul track is diluted, gimme the straight Freedia uncut.

Big Freedia is credited. Like, actually credited. 

Where is the credit that is due, that you would say is missing?

The fact that this easily searchable answer for why Big Freedia was not in the Beyonce video, but was not included in this article, speaks volumes to the intent of the author of this piece.  Virtue signaling in action right here.

This is a better video:

I mean, not to bend over backwards to praise a man for doing The Basic Right Thing but this is a literal example of a man who used all types of his privilege (white, male, wealthy, fame, name recognition, relative power within powerful media institutions) as a lever to bring a harmful and deeply entrenched…

Seems a little extreme to call this a case of “ignoring [Big Freedia’s] existence” given she’s identified as featured artist right there in the official video title. This isn’t like when someone samples a song and moves along without crediting someone.

As a Freedia fan I agree that this is an ongoing issue – However I also know that Big Freedia’s touring schedule is insane & has conflicted with other video shoots in the past. I think before jumping to conclusions about Kesha trying to suppress Big Freedia’s image let’s get the facts straight on the intention.

Thank you. This review is genuinely pathetic and anger making.

The article forgets to mention Kesha featured Big Freedia on her cruise as a headliner. I don’t think Kesha is the enemy here.

Let’s change that!

Thank you for the work you do. Every agency where you’re regularly engaging with trauma should offer those services to employees! We’re in the process of doing the same where I currently work, where we deal with grief, loss, and physical trauma. I used to work with victims/survivors of domestic & sexual violence, and…

It seems a little weird to have an article about a performer being erased from videos that doesn’t include a picture of the performer?

I actually waited for a review of She Said, but it's still nowhere to be found on Jezebel. Weird, right? Why review a book written by women and about women if you can bitch that a man didn't write this book instead? 

But bitching and complaining is more fun. I’m sorry, but we complain all the time about men not stepping up and here we have a man who did just that. If he wrote a book about the victims, Megan would have complained about that too.

I mean... if you’re mad that A Man is getting credit, cover Kantor and Twohey themselves more on this site? They surely deserve it and I’d love to read the piece about their journey. If you’re mad that the victims aren’t centered, there are other pieces where they are. I’m not sure the existence of one book about the…

I didn’t know any of this until all the stories about him and the joker stuff came out. I’m sure it’s a matter of time now.
