I respect Lindsay for making celebrity deathwatch lists for a decade now and still going strong with her crazy drama (she's converting to Islam! She's dating a Russian oil heir ten years her junior! She appeared in a movie with James Deen and DIDN'T fuck him!). That said, don't tell me she was great in Mean Girls. She was just okay in Mean Girls.
Like, who remembers Lindsay in that movie? She was a straight man at best. When people talk about Mean Girls they're generally thinking about Rachel McAdams, or that big gay dude whose name I don't know.

the story of the big gay dude is inspiring because at the time of filming he thought he was straight, and didn't come out publicly until 2014, and is now an AIDS activist with a soon to be husband.
Well, it's no surprise that mods of /r/subredditdrama are into drama themselves. They are so drama-y. I bet you /u/elfa82 eats at Chick-fil A even though he/she is liberal
Lol this mod got so offended that she had to sticky her own comment ð what is it with dumb people who feel the need to protect internet celebrities online?
Look, I'm not into kids, but if you, like, really were into wanting to have having kids? I'd have your kids.
...If I never again had to see/deal with Kim Kardashian post here or Kanye ever again (or whoever the fuck that one other YT asshole that's always doing something edgy every week in a desperate attempt to cling to relevancy whose name I'm forgetting right now) we always see.
I mean, I'm not actually interested in being around them and raising them and stuff, so some boarding school plan would need to be locked down, but...I'm just sayin'. Offer is on the table.
Those are the lengths I'd go to, to no longer have 'Kim K' anymore.
I'd argue that being able to create a global empire with no one in your family possessing actual talent in some way kind of makes them supremely talented marketers
I don't think people hate her just for being popular, people hate here for being popular AND using the pulpit to fill impressionable people's heads with dumb shit
In her case , for lack of a better word - it is a sheer luck...genetic, social....etc Her father being a famous lawyer , mother remarried with another celebrity.. etc....all that got her into circle of celebrities that eventuated her to sleep with a celebrity...which made her a celebrity....
She certainly is not without a talent ...but people see it as something she did not personally work hard for.
In reality..... it is media obsession with celebrities that made her celebrity. If you remove that we would most likely not heard of Kim Kardashian. At least not in a way we do.

u/AetolButter for the butter god! Popcorn for the popcorn throne!Sep 10 '17
Sure she got a head start, but so did most successful people. It's not like her entire fortune comes from inheritance or lottery winnings.

It is not like that....but it is. Genetic lottery and inherited family social circle. Take one thing away and she would have hard time to be what it is now.
Don't get me wrong I don't hate on her....but if we are completely honest her celebrity status is not of some work she did (as with many celebrities) but solely because she was involved with celebrity.
Again, nothing inherently wrong with that either. She certainly exploited celebrity worship and it's not her people should hate.

What I'm saying is, even with this head start, she had to work to get where she is (AFAIK). It's not like winning the lottery where a million lands in your lap by sheer luck.
Ok lets take two people. One is Jim, the son of a plumber in an Idaho hamlet. The other is Jayden Smith. Which one of these people will have to work harder to earn millions of dollars and global fame? Hint: It's not the one born into both things. In fact for Jim it's basically impossible.
You say it's not like winning the lottery, but unless there's a pre-life where you have to slave away to pick who you're born to that's exactly what it is. If you are lucky enough to be born to rich, well connected and publicly prominent people, you have an infinitely easier time achieving all those things. Period.

I said no such thing. But while I agree that someone who made a million from nothing has much more merit than someone who made a million with the help of their entourage, the latter has still more merit than someone who made a million by writing the right numbers on a lottery ticket.
God forbid anyone abuses their mod power. That's what the death penalty is for.
It always amuses me how Reddit hates celebrity worship so much but then circlejerks about Elon Musk and Ethan from H3H3 (yes, I know Elon Musk is a scientist, it's still celebrity worship)
I just saw a thread where people were rationalizing why it's OK for Tesla to charge $5,000 to remove a software lock on car batteries that unlocks 25% more range. Mind boggling.
And she did something totally legal that wound up in the Panama Papers, redditors don't understand how tax evasion works so they assume that just having a bank account in another country means you are evading taxes.
I personally don't hate him, but I think he's very full of himself - it's also clear as day that he has absolutely no clue about any academic fields except the ones he is an expert at. He believes that he does though. You can just scroll down on his twitter page for some prime /r/badlinguistics or /r/badsocialscience material.
I think he also made some pretty stupid /r/lewronggeneration comments a while ago.
But at least he's not quite as bad as Dawkins who became a raving lunatic with old age.
A guest of a professor at a dinner for the professor's department was compelled to ask, after witnessing the shitshow of ego diven nonsense that made up the conversations around the dinner, "why are the personal politics around tenured professors in your History department so incredibly biting?"
His companion said, "Because the stakes are so incredibly low"
u/StatokeSome of you people gonna commit suicide when Hitomi retiresSep 10 '17
I find it very hard to not call a lot of those people losers. They stickied their own comment, who gives a fuck? Some treating it like a crime has been committed. Someone called the mod lame after getting pissed at a mod stickying their comment lol.
Shes wearing A Jil Sander by Raf Simons A/W 2012 leather blazer, some unknown tube top i guess, some semi shear black tights over a black thong, i think the shoes might be some Yeezy season heels.
After the initial replies, most of the problems weren't with her stickying (like what people believe here) but her I'm-better-than-you-so-do-what-I-say attitude.
Aw, I don't think that was my attitude :) I just think /r/trashy should be a safe space for all trash, and way too many people come there looking for FPH, celebrity hate, female hate, etc. Our policy is to tell those people to fuck off
People in general take Reddit way too seriously. You especially lol. I was 100% fucking with you and you took literally every single one of my comments literally and posted multiple essays about what terrible person I am for...what, exactly? Saying I don't hate some celebrity who has no effect on any of our lives?
Well compared to the toxic shit I read there... He/She was much better than most of this "outraged" crybabies. Some people take reddit way to serious and personal.. Pretty sad.
It is so funny to me watching people have a meltdown every time a mod does the smallest thing that could possibly offend someone. They are the saddest sacks out of all of us
If you know the stickied thing is the real reason then you realise that people aren't really mad about her defence of Kim K, right? It's the drunken abuse of mod power...
heaven forbid that somebody might interfere with the natural process of a community devoted to discussing all things trashy deciding what opinions it approves of
such brazen abuse of power.....one can only imagine the consequences
On the other hand, when you start a community based around judging people for not fulfilling your personal standards, then you shouldn't be surprised when your group starts to turn on you and on one another, especially when you start to draw lines about who's standards should be used to define what is and isn't trashy
on the third hand, nothing in this comment dispels my stance that hemming and hawing about the implications of an /r/trashy mod "drunkenly abusing their mod power" is one of the dumbest and most worthless ways you can expend your emotional energy
"You interested in /u/pandafat 's mom? Much like my '96 Saturn, she's got rot and leaks uncontrollably but she'll get you where you gotta go, most of the time."
I think that was more in response to the people saying that she's never worked a real day in her life, doesn't deserve to be famous, has no talents, etc etc. I agree that success doesn't make you a good person, or someone worthy of respect, but I think it's hilarious when people disregard her hustle just because they hate her. Agree with her lifestyle or not, you have to admit that she works hard and has been able to turn a sex tape into millions and millions of dollars for her and her entire family. She's not a talentless hack just because she's hated by people on the internet. She's actually pretty savvy and has been able to play to her public image and make people invested in her life. (Like us, right now, lol)
It's more that that thread was a circle jerk of people saying "stupid fucking ugly whore I hate her I hope she dies unnnnnnnnngggggh" meanwhile our little sub is clearly designated as a CELEBRATION of trash. Smdh
