Maybe. Being “cancelled” as an anchor is a bit of a different thing.

I think a Star Wars or Star Trek religion is not a crazy idea. And (most) iterations are far better written than anything by L Ron Hubbard- who still has a rabid following of his sci-fi religion.

Is “I hope you choke” a death threat though? I would think it would need to say something like “I am going to choke you out”, to be a threat? Is wishing someone dead the same as threatening to kill them, in this author’s eyes?

I’m mad at myself. I knew before I clicked the link that this would be some bad faith bullshit, and I was right. Just peak gossip-rag shit-talk for clicks.

Team “objects to her having so much money” over team “objects to her enjoying the money she has” every day. You’re absolutely right, scolding people for this stuff is prune-faced Puritanism pretending at progressivism.

Third option; personal vendetta against Chrissy Teagan

It seems like a really weird American puritan thing: do nothing to prevent people becoming ridiculously wealthy, but act like the rich people have been ‘found out’ when they ‘slip up’ and do something that rich people would do.

Exactly. I guess if you’re rich you only get to cosplay as Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. You never get to cosplay as tv character of regular means.

Celebrities are most likely to have high-end boots that rarely, if ever, encounter actual dirt. Those are obviously the boots to lick, if that’s your thing.

One of my friends on FB is trying to find a perfect match for the #456 jacket for their kid. Like, ffs, being a player in the game isn’t a good thing. Rich people not getting shit is nothing new.

“People enjoyed something more than I did. Obviously, they are morons.”

Slow news day or this blog is finally dead?

She’s done and said some stupid things. This shouldn’t be added to that list.

Of all the things to be outraged about in the world, this is very low on my priority list.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Squid Game costumes DOMINATED Halloween this year, are you going to go after every single person that wore one or are you just singling out Chrissy because she’s the bête noire of the moment?

I mean, I’m not even close to being Team Teigan here, but I mean what if they just really like the show? Is it really important for them to be thinking of the political undertones of it? Maybe I’m just at the point where I think asking everyone to be smart is too much. 

Oh for God’s sake. Is there nothing more pressing about which to be aggrieved?

Those poor fictional characters! I can’t imagine how their nonexistent hearts must be breaking over seeing this!

The people you saw in Squid Game were actors that were cosplaying as poor people. The people at Teigan’s party were cosplaying as characters in a TV show. Squid Game isn’t real. This is all pretend.

There are many things one could criticize Teigen for, but throwing a party themed around the biggest television show of the year is not one of them.
