She spearheaded the selection for Australia‘s break dancers, excluded anyone who was better than her in the preliminaries, and then picked herself to go to the Olympics. Then once she got there, she realized she was going to get her ass handed to her by the competition, so she decided to be goofy instead of actually trying (and failing) to keep up.
The snopes debunk is correct. However she was selected out of 15 people in the ENTIRE CONTINENT of Australia in an event that was not publicisized among breakdancing events. Was it rigged per se? No. Did she know what she was doing when many were excluded from the selection process? Yes
Why do we have to suck so much ass as a species? Why does a little anonymity or distance make us into such nasty little shit heads?
I mean, we’ve got people cyberbullying others simply for having the audacity to play a character that they don’t like on television shows, and shit like this where they’re doing it because some dancer was bad.
Why can’t we just make a couple of pretty harmless jokes, have a fucking laugh, and move on?
Yeah, you got it, it’s actually me that’s the problem 👍 …not the people baking up conspiracy theories and cyberbullying a person because she was bad at something she did at the olympics.
That makes total sense: pointing at a problem causes that problem. /s
Trying your best and doing it right are 2 different things. It is time this butthurt world re-understands this. Someone should have told her she sucks at it. And yes, it would hurt her feelings but also opening up opportunities for her to pursue something else she will, undoubtedly, be better at.
She can still dance like this if she wants to with all the passion in her heart, but break dance competition, nope.
I see someone who is passionate about something, trying her best, and having a good time doing it.
Good for her. The routine is goofy, but fuck yea. I’m glad she is out there doing what she loves.

She doesn’t deserve any praise.
Yes. Except, no. None of that is true.

I don’t know, why aren’t you doing that right now instead of trying to blow it up into some fundamental social problem? I guess there’s your answer.

Not when she’s taking the place of someone else who is more competent at it on a world stage. 1:01 part was actually impressive though.
