No, I'm sorry to report but that is not weird, or uncommon, to see here at all. Not anymore.
There shouldn't be crossover because people should be careful about the sources that they're posting.
In this case nothing, but I've definitely seen a national review article or two posted here in the last couple months
Can you explain your post for the audience? What's the joke here, exactly?
Her mom is the vice president and it's gonna be pretty hard to pay your rent when you're in jail.
My point has nothing to do with her age.
The joke here boils down to two things: her step-mother, which is not her choice nor within her ability to change; and weird girl bad.
Right now her only "crime" is being weird online and abso-fucking-lutely nobody on this website has room to talk. Not that it would be okay even if we were remotely normal, however you want to define that.
This young woman is wearing a knit sweater, and therefore she is a gentrifier
Idk, she gives me "CEO/business exec's daughter who posts pastel infographics about Bodies and Spaces left over from CIA disinformation ops but thinks BLM is "going too far" and won't explain why because she doesn't owe you the "emotional labor" even though she's a suburban white teen who's worked a double-digit amount of hours in her life (at a summer internship her dad gave her)" vibes
I mean, the fact that she's Kamala fucking Harris's stepdaughter doesn't exactly help
Leftists, correctly: it's bad to chastise people for traits that they were born with and cannot change
Also "leftists": this post
Yeah that's why we know the jokes are coming. And judging by this post, those jokes will definitely be made in good taste!
What's that supposed to mean? Is this site not supposed to get new users and get bigger?
It means you're a "wrecker," a word that's quickly losing any actual meaning here
Shame on you
He hath insulted the lady's garments! Alert the village priest!
If I were a rich person whose stepmom is the vice president I would simply not dress like this
Some people on this website probably dress like that but go off about how being weird is bad.
Lighten up, it’s a joke.
Is saying something/someone is ‘dumb’ really ableist?
Good takes that are definitely not stupidpol shit, I'm just gonna go ahead and disengage now. :maduro-coffee:
Come on dude. If we want to insult rich ghouls but we can't bodyshame them or call them dumb, can we at least make fun of their fucking clothes?
"Can't we PLEASE just make fun of some aspect of their appearance?"
--you
Also how is she a ghoul, exactly? What has she done to make her a ghoul? Wear a funny sweater?
She literally made the conscious choice to put on those clothes in the morning, and can change them at any time. I don't know how much clearer I can make this. They're not a permanent physical trait. They're sheets of fabric. And they look ridiculous.
No judgment on the person, but she looks like an obstacle from Kirby's wild dream course
Yeah, I had no idea who the fuck this was, but the IMG shit is grounds for mocking her lol. Failsons and daughters unite!
ITT: Making fun of rich cis gentrifiers is transphobia and not a good look chief, have several seats yall.
Making fun of cis women is transphobia, making fun of Megan McCain is antisemitic, we're all just playing calvinball to scold people at this point holy shit.
That Koch kid with the ugly shirts is an acceptable target, Hunter Biden is an acceptable target, making fun of Barron for years under the guise of "well actually we're just concerned for him we didn't say he's bad" is acceptable, Ella Emhoff is off limits and you're doing a heckin no growth if you mention her. She's an unremarkable rich kid hipster who got a modeling job because mom became VP so the modeling agency can have access to the administration. That is literally the thing everyone accuses Hunter of doing in Ukraine.
Chapo hosts: rich bushwick gentrifiers who are out of touch scum, beat them up if you see them
Ella Emhoff: Smol uwu bean whomst we must protecc pls do not google her net worth (a lot) or parents (second most powerful couple alive) or current place of residence (bushwick)
also like i dont think those defending ella are saying THIS exactly: but this whole "small white rich 21 year old is a CHILD" thing is kinda grating given a 9 year old girl of color got cuffed in rochester and pepper sprayed by cops like that "theyre a kid" excuse only goes one way
Sorry, I genuinely do not know how Ella getting offered some bullshit corporate job is different than anything the Trump or Biden kids were up to and why we're now all bad faith wreckers for not liking her. Please explain
Please, i dont want to know who is who’s kids. I dont want to know about lib failchildren.
Well its getting brought up because she got a 200k contract to design clothes 9 days after her step mom was elected VP.
This is a very good and legitimate point that is nowhere to be found in the OP.
Edit: nor anywhere else in this thread.
With those colors, I can see her saying trans rights but being quiet when you bring up how Kamala had a trans woman in a men's prison and denied her gender-affirming medical care.
Granny squares are dope, it's super easy to make and you just get like.. an ever expanding square. Good for rugs, blankets, coats and sweaters, etc
I'm not sure whether I love or hate her fashion choices, but it is a thing that exists. That top is pretty dope though.
i understand that dunking on this person who cant choose their step parent is kinda a cheap shot (i still think its funny but fine)
i understand that using this person's status as a gentrifier to judge them can be hypocritical when a lot of people on this sub themselves cant pass that purity test
But gentrification and gentrifying itself are acts of harm privileged people place on poor communities. its not exactly the worst thing and can possibly veer into "so you own an iphone, interesting" territory (usually when ur only looking at a rich person's POV) but it is possible for people with means to be more aware of where they choose to live and how, if they are gentrifying a place, they can lessen their personal impact on the neighborhood. Regardless, gentrifying is often discussed as something people can't help but do, as if its this outside force of which those who parttake in it have no agency.
Suggestions for lessening impact as a gentrfier include: joining Tenant associations, starting TAs if possible, using your privilege to negotiate on behalf of your poorer neighbors (if you're educated, you can write a letter on behalf of a neighborhood who cannot write as well, asking the landlord to make repairs. if you have money or resources, connecting neighbors to legal services orgs or whatever good connections money gets you), learn about local rent laws + flyer your building reiterating them, dont call the fucking cops, shop local etc. etc.
anyway poking at this person for being a gentrifier carries more water than it seems IMO
Alright, so I'm kinda trying to piece things together cuz I didn't recognize her:
So this is Kamala's stepdaughter apparently. Okay, not a great sign, sure, but did she actually do or say anything bad besides looking kinda hipster-y?
