Pets Raygun. everything wrong with modern Australia

[errant bounce]

Sort of can't stand this woman.

To those who get their news from tiktok or like Channel 9, this is what she did:

– Worked at a uni, pretending to be an 'academic'
– Realised that the next Olympics would be in France and include a breakdancing category
– She then saw that there was no actual direct and official organisation for breakdancing, and you need an authority for a sport for it to be able to be associated with the Australian Olympic Committee and therefore the International Olympic Committee
– But it's like having a governing body for the specific set of hand ball rules your school used for one year in 2010. it doesn't really exist
– Therefore, you can make your own
– So she did
– From there, she was not only able to appoint her husband as head of this committee, but to sort of hold dummy, fake qualifying events knowing no one else could or would show up
– So she was the sole participant
– And then she got the qualification to the Olympics
– They have then realised that this is an irrelevant sport, and she'd probably come in a middling position, so she's just going to be forgotten. like some dumb gymnast or pole vaulter or some moron who worked really hard and gets forgotten
– So she devised to be as bad as possible to be a hilarious 'haha sooo cool' meme
– But it was kinda shit
– So then she accused people of being sexist because... I dunno
– And now she's sued a tiny theatre company, with little grounds, whose proceeds were going to a womens shelter

Is she the shittest human we've produced since [inset yours here]?

Don't forget she also attempted to trademark the term 'raygun' for herself.

I can't wait until some loser comes in here and says 'tall poppy syndrome guys' (doesn't exist, absolutely does not exist – and many other countries do the same). she is an utter prick, must have some sort of mental disorder.

 

[errant bounce]

A genuine 2/10.

 

[Cleavy]

"they" should refuse the trademark for the 'pose' on the basis that it looks like roadkill and is therefore generic.

 

[Chief]

Why does anyone care?

Calling her the shittest human that Australia has produced is going a bit far, I think Ivan Milat and Martin Bryant has her covered.

Her breaking performance was hilariously bad and made her a famous meme but instead of embracing it she took offence at it.

Compare that to Steven Bradbury who embraced becoming a famous meme after he snatched gold in the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Admittedly Bradbury was a much better speed skater than Raygun was a breaker and he won gold while she was a total failure.

I'm surprised she still has a job at Macquarie University. Why would anyone, especially these days with the cost of university fees, take one of her courses? Her thesis title was "Deterritorializing Gender in Sydney's Breakdancing Scene: A B-girl's Experience of B-boying". Oh yes, I've always wanted to know about that.

I think we should all just ignore her, she clearly likes the attention, good or bad.

I don't care about it either, but does every thesis have to be aimed at me as the primary audience?

No. But there are lots of theses that I wouldn't be interested in but can see the point of.

 

[raskolnikov]

Anyone who is interested in that topic should just watch the 1980s movie Breakin'. Good movie with a female lead.

Each to their own I suppose.

 

[Billy ray]

I dont think anyone cares. Not anymore. There was the immediate wtf and it brought people together, kinda touching. But now noone cares.
Except the media. They are hanging on

 

[AFDogs]

Who cares

 

[Roobs321]

still time yet for Ange the Redeemer to be the Oz sports pose meme of ‘24

 

[rocker_oz33]

Now she got her own BF thread.
Her rap sheet is getting longer and longer.
Pun intended.

 

[Nothing]

I'm sure she'll reevaluate her life choices now she's copped a spray from SA.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

I dont really care about her or her Olympics "performance" but suing a small comedy club seems petty.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

Whenever I see a photo of her and her hipster husband it's like they're trying to come across as annoying inner city ironic w***ers.
Just need to be ignored and they will go away.

The less I hear about her the better.

The performance itself, the grifting from those on social media who are suddenly experts on cultural appropriation and suddenly advocates of working class people not being able to play sport at the highest level, the grifting from her performance and her ego since, can all **** off.

 

[Plugger35]

There is no Breaking event at the LA Olympics so we won't see Raygun there again unless she tries her hand at Flag Football.

That's her only chance, the other new sports for LA are baseball/softball, lacrosse, cricket and squash which are proper sports.

 

[Billy ray]

Nekminut, channel 7 special role for the LA games

 

[errant bounce]

Why does anyone care?

God you are such a snippy, smug loser.
