    Just another utterly talentless "celeb" who is as much a hypocrite as she is an idiot.

    Guys the term F** Shaming is no longer acceptable. Thou shall use Weight Shaming hence forth, as per RTE's revised guidelines. This is to be more inclusive of people being shamed for all weight identities, such as a skinny identity, and to eliminate common usage of the F word due to it being humanizing and offensive.

    I do like her music and thought she was a decent skin herself, disgusted if all true, a hypocrite with the diva attitude



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    I went down a rabbit hole and came across an Azealia Banks Instagram video about her from a few years ago.

    My conclusion - they’re all Kray Kray

    I've no idea why she was ever used as an example for body positivity anyway, she is a walking heart attack and unless she gets rid of the excess fat on her body she won't see old age.

    Women preach about body positivity then go and make fun of short men or men with small penises. That vile girl Gretta Cuntberg made a twitter post accusing Andrew Tate of having "small dick energy" and also a pornstar accused Trump of having a 3 inch penis and it was the most liked post of the day.

    They basically are saying that you are less of a man if you have a small penis which is very hypocritical of them because these are the same people who say that trans men are men even though they may not have a penis at all. I read a good article from a trans person explaining this hypocrisy of penis shaming.

    Andrew Tate definitely does have that kind of energy though, she wasn't wrong.

    He also has 'absolute geebag' energy and 'Don't leave a woman alone with him' energy.

    They were talking about this on the radio today, but they were saying how great she is and then played one of her awful songs, wtf? is it just because she is fat we cant say anything bad about her?

    is it just because she is fat we cant say anything bad about her?

    It astounds me sometimes the level of stupidity I read on this site.

    Firstly, if the accusations against Lizzo are true. I hope she faces plenty of consequences career wise as it's entirely unacceptable.

    Sex trafficker Andrew Tate does have small dick energy though. It's not really a comment on a tiny penis, it's a modified version of Napoleon complex. Andrew compensates because of insecurities and she's aware that he's the kind of person who would get upset about commentary on his penis size. 🤣

    Also I'm a man before you get outraged about mean women.


    Edit: mistook this for another thread briefly, I was half asleep. 🤣

    It's designed that way. The lawyers would be instructing their clients to get support via SM which then gets picked up by other media. The purpose being the chances of a settlement are higher even if the allegations are not really true the reputational damage could be very costly.

    TBH the charges against her are pretty thin no pun intended.

    Ms Davis alleges the two questioned whether she was "struggling with something as she seemed less committed to her role on the dance cast", the case details.

    "In professional dance, a dancer's weight gain is often seen as that dancer getting lazy or worse off as a performer. Lizzo's and Ms. Scott's questions about Ms. Davis's commitment to the tour were thinly veiled concerns about Ms Davis's weight gain," the documents allege.

    Though never explicitly stated, the questions "gave Ms Davis the impression that she needed to explain her weight gain and disclose intimate personal details about her life in order to keep her job", the legal documents say.

    Life on these mega tours are pretty stressful.

    But super stars are not all dicks.

    Bit of class here.

    why else? its not pc these days to have a go at anyone who is different, even if they did something wrong.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    People have been saying that for at least 25 years now and we're still perfectly free to have a go at people who are different. And that's just in my memory - I'm sure older people have had even more years of people shíting "oh, you can't say anything these days, whah, whah". It's hogwash, if you'll pardon the pun. This whole thread is an opportunity to have a go at someone and plenty are making the most of it and rightly so in my opinion.

    I guess that small dick comment must have stung.

    Amsterdam, bananas and vag.

    I don't know about the transes but I do know men with small peonises are less of a man. Like what use is a small peonis?



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,871 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    I've been thinking about this and I speak with some authority on the matter, that you aren't asked to consume the banana while it is held somewhat inside the vagina of the young lady in question. As I remember it, they use their pelvic floor muscles to eject the peeled fruit item across the room and it is up to the patron whether they decide to catch it, with the hands, the mouth, or not at all.

    Honestly on this basis alone I think the suit should be dismissed.

    A fellow fan of culture, I salute thee.


    I can also confirm the above account, had the 'pleasure' of attending such a show on a stag party, when the inserted item was ejected, it went over the grooms head and landed on the floor, whereupon some eager punter picked it up and put it straight into his beak.

    cue revulsion from the rest of the stag group, with one safety conscious individual remarking 'jesus christ man, that was on the floor'.

    I thought Lizzo seemed all right, and she does have talent - good distinctive voice, great flautist, better songs than her contemporaries (although not the new one), great performer, and hard-working. You don't become a global superstar with zero talent - unless you're a manufactured pop outfit, which she isn't. She worked her way up, including living in her car for a bit. I kinda liked the way her outfits just got more and more outrageous. Her confidence and exuberance were refreshing to me. I think she has a lovely face too, and can still look great.

    People constantly commented on her weight. I don't know what this pretence is about not being able to criticise her.

    But it's true also that others were being delusional - I can't stand when people pretend her weight is no biggie. Diabetes, cardiac issues, arthritis, sleep apnoea... she's at such a high risk of those. I know people argue she's still able to dance around the stage (which is true) but she won't be able to in her 40s if she remains that weight. And nobody is saying she should be skinny. She's a curvy woman, just a healthy weight is all.

    I like the message "Don't hate yourself, you're not worthless", but you can still think this while knowing you need to lose weight and get fitter to get healthy - a kind thing to do for yourself really.

    Larbre you seem to have a wealth of knowledge on this subject, I bow to your expertise.

    Lived in Breda for a while in my youth (nearly 30 years ago), my older brother ventured in to one of these joints in the Dam.


    As far as I was aware you eat the banana from the furry cup. You’re version sounds more exotic, a banana missile shooting into the nights sky. I will think differently when I next approach a banana for consumption. They could deploy this on the isles of Lidl's.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    That may be true but some men don't want people to think less of their small willies. They want more small-dick positivity in the world.

    Small-willied men can get very upset about their small willies being mentioned in a derogatory manner as you can see from the post that you're responding to.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,306 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    She has spoken about the accusations.



  • Registered Users Posts: 81,979 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    "Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed."

    Sounds like she's not retained the advice of a good legal counsel yet. Wakes up to Thursday news and social media that sends her anxiety through the roof and starts doing a Chef.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,306 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    I thought the same, along with her little dig at the accusers that they already admitted they weren’t performing on the job…oh dear



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,306 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Yikes…what a roster!



  • Registered Users Posts: 23,871 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Whats a Brett Ratner?

    He won for Depp. I wouldn't take this as indication of guilt.
