The Olympic Breakdancer that broke the Internet│The Ballad of Raygun

[@MarvinPowell1]

This woman made it to the age of 36 never being given valid criticism or ever being told "no." I thought she was like 23 or something, like _most_ Olympic athletes, but no. She's _one year younger than I am_ and went her entire life being overconfident enough to scam her way into The Olympics while having literally no talent, no humility, no self-awareness, and no ethics, and thinking she would not only not-get-caught, but might actually win. That literally is some Main Character Energy. Like Peter Griffin or Homer Simpson. And we're all Frank Grimes, being punished for pointing out the insanity.

I work in academia (as 'Raygun' does). There are so many pro-women initiatives - women only funding, seminars, constant 'yay women!' emails and newsletters being sent around. Women now outnumber men by a considerable margin in academia (including top leadership positions), yet they're still pushing the false narrative they're the marginalized minority. If they really cared about equal gender representation all these pro-women initiatives would be replaced by pro-men initiatives. But of course they don't actually care about equality, that's just a convenient smokescreen.

I’ve heard this called “Princess Syndrome”, and it’s a good title for it from what I see. We see it with some Swifties as well… people that can only see themselves (or someone they see themselves in) as only ever being a “hero” or a “victim”. She truly seems to believe that she is “good”, because she decided to change the standard to be what she wants it to be(one that favors her), instead of adhering to the existing standard. BUT then if you don’t like it, “you must be a misogynist, or you’re jealous!” (This then fuels the social movements to further support her) This mentality is scary and it comes from having an abundance of privileged opportunity, but with no accountability or expectations to match. We can’t sit and tell young girls that they can “do or be anything they want”, but at the same time, have no expectations for how they then participate. In fact, this is called “prejudice of lowered expectations” and this is why it’s not a good thing! She has now subsided in delusion(due to the ideological and nebulous favoritism she’s received), and only surrounds herself with those whom will validate her delusions(and it’s mind blowing how many will). They then all protect her from ever having to face reality. It’s really pretty scary actually, even for her own sake! Especially when people like this gain a position of “power”, and then gate-keep opportunity with, and for, their own delusional equity… the fact that this happened at the Olympics should be concerning to everyone. It is likely happening all over at this point and it’s very dangerous!
