[@rainbowpuppet77]

@@richardchen7062 autism can come with many challenges depending on the situation but even with that you cant really use something like that as an excuse like i can fully understand not reading the room or being too blunt but you can learn how to combat these struggles in a way that not only helps yourself but also the people you interact with

[@nickolaskaaay3232]

@@laylahli7558 I don't think they were saying it's an excuse. I DO think there's space to say that you might have a situation that makes certain interactions harder for you and that's worth people being understanding towards, but autistic people (just in this example) are also ultimately responsible for how they interact with people and harm they may unintentionally cause.

[@ianjohnson1249]

Nymphia did not “tour with a Kpop girl group”. She just was in her own kpop dancing group, probably entering local competitions and stuff, and I think it was just a dance group.

[@proboffensive]

From my understanding she was mostly in charge of learning kpop choreos and teaching them to her group, so she was backstage while the girls performed

[@ItsRuve]

Bob just could NOT get the girls' names right this episode 💀

[@BobTheDragQueen]

i was truly stuggling

[@alexandriteqween9760]

Bob takes everything so literally 😭 Megami knows she isn’t the fashion queen, but you gotta suspend SOME disbelief. It’s a verse. When a girl says “Mama Ru gimme that crown” they know they have to earn it, they don’t mean literally give me it. 😭

[@emmas132]

am I the only one who thinks the queens who "hide their talents" are actually just showing instead of telling? Like, did Nymphia say she was a bad dancer, or did she just not mention she was a good one because she is a shower not a teller. idk not everything is so calculated

[@Toshiboyai]

She mentioned she’s not revealing on purpose

[@9MuzzyGirl9]

Her talent on the first episode was literally a dance performance lmao she wasn’t hiding anything

[@KyleKaiser7]

There’s a difference between hiding something and holding your cards close to your chest. Like Sapphira said, Nymphia is being strategic, as have other queens on the show. Willow Pill was notoriously strategic throughout her season, and she won! Silky said Yvie was very strategic on their season, and Yvie won! Trixie said it on the Pit Stop, don’t say something is “your thing” if you want to make it to the next week.

[@ickbrr2982]

I think people with America brain just cannot comprehend the idea of keeping things to yourself instead of openly announcing to everyone why you're better than them

[@Shyknit]

I just think it's smart, there have been far too many examples of queens saying they're good at something only to crash and burn at that specific thing or be held to a high standard by the other queens because they see it as that Queen's "thing" now. Also based on how the season is going she's good at so many things if she listed all of them first thing it would take a while 💀

Amanda has talked about how fragile she was during filming. Fresh out of a divorce. Struggling with their trans identity,then having someone pick on you CONSTANTLY must have been so shitty to go through. Unsolicited comments over and over? Its not 'shady',thats one thing. You never know what someone is going through in their lives. Constantly attacking someone with no regard for what they are going through is so immature and thoughtless.PJ should be embarrassed Bob is spot on.Anyone can murmur a 'sorry' to deflect drama (they started) but to show uoure sorry takes a change in action.

Girl whatever. Is tv. Amanda should get over it. She was too cry baby for my liking.

Great convo as always.

Please tell me Bob did not just pull a reductionist opinion on Plane sharing and reflecting upon her complicated ethnic identity. Love Bob, being a comic means being quick and popping off for timings sake. Like, I get having a sense of humor, but facts are facts when you are considering someone, like Bob, who is often vocal about identity politics. It seems appropriate to hold her to her own standards On that note, One would think discussing the internalized homophobia Plane has experienced as the child of Russian Jewish immigrants would be something that we should be sympathetic to. Bob completely made her criticism about Plane being Russian, labeled it as an 'excuse', neglecting the struggles of Jewish people who have left Russia and how those may have transferred to Plane as a child. Anti-semitism is a growing problem in America, let alone what is going on overseas, and that aspect of her identity was completely neglected by Bob. We don't know Plane just like she didn't know Amanda. Let's not make the same mistake Plane made with Amanda, and instead try to use context clues until we can fully hear her out. Everyone celebrated Xunami and Geneva sharing their DACA status, and I am so glad they did. So, when we demean, devalue, or cheapen another child of immigrants and their very real American experiences....the math ain't mathing. Bob is great. This commentary was not his best.
