She’s just a female version of Piers Morgan / Jeremy Clarkson. Utterly obsessed with the Sussexes (however ridiculous they may be) but for the love of God woman give it a break.

Do you have the same opinion of left wing commentators who share their musings about topics or people they are interested in?

justheretoread111 · 14/01/2023 14:56

Can you give me an example of someone who obsessively comments on someone else with such venom?

Nobody is obsessed with H&M apart from themselves and the DM.

Candace Owens is a very intelligent commentator.

‘Meghan found someone dumber than she is’ - hardly articulate or intelligent commentary.

I'd say that was fairly succinct.

BigChesterDraws · 14/01/2023 15:15

Why do you listen to her then if she annoys you so much?

LadyVictoriaSponge · 14/01/2023 15:18

The TV has an off button, no one is forcing you to listen.

I mean, you don’t have to listen to/watch her do you?

sst1234 · 14/01/2023 15:20

OP just wanted to start a Meghan and Harry appreciation thread. That didn’t go well. By the way Candace Owen’s comment is actually very articulate and succinct as PP said.

She is. However she doesn’t agree with currently dominant political views so is despised for it. They can’t go too far though as she as WOC, so they’re not really sure what to do with her 😁

I keep seeing her everywhere - TV, Twitter, TikTok etc. I’m not seeking her out to be annoyed by her opinion.

The wider point I’m making is that I think it’s dangerous to allow people a platform to incessantly target the same people again and again.

Hmm, 🤔 like Harry is against his Brother, Father & SIL?

“I see black Women everywhere” makes you sound deranged. And racist.

Indeed. It seems white, extremely privileged men are allowed to speak constantly with no restraint, but a woman of colour, speaking and opining too much is “dangerous” and should have her platform removed. Worrying.

justheretoread111 · 14/01/2023 15:35

I didn’t mention her race even once, totally irrelevant, and @DogBowlsAreMyWeapon you obviously have trouble with using singular/plural nouns. And as you can see in my original post I compared her to Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson, two white men.

OP posts:
TwigsAndPebblyShit · 14/01/2023 15:42

Waaaaaay too much covid / anti vax disinformation for me to ever refer to her commentary as 'intelligent'.

She's just a right wing rabble rouser. YANBU.

How can a young WOC be put in the same category as the likes of PM & JC? She doesn’t have a remotely similar platform or background.

You are agitating for a WOC to lose her platform, a platform she will have had to work ten times as hard for than all the other white men you mentioned, because she’s saying things you don’t like, expressing her own opinions. Harry is also in constant attack mode and is absolutely everywhere but responses to it must be curtailed and he can speak freely?

I do actually but that wasn’t the point of my question.

@TwigsAndPebblyShit has nailed it for me. Her anti-vax and gun control views are symptomatic of a terrifying faction of society.

@GrinAndVomit obsessively commenting on…?

OP posts:
SantaCarlaCalifornia · 14/01/2023 15:53

I agree with her on some things and don't on many others.
She's way more conservative and religious than I'd ever be but I sometimes like watching her take down others who aren't half as articulate as her.

I don't get the modern thing of trying to shut down others just because you don't agree with what they're saying.
Just scroll past and move on with your life.

Lol.

Meghan and Harry are hardly shrinking away from the lime light are they?

They want to be heard, seen and discussed.

If a large portion of the general public have decided after careful consideration that the pair of them are twats - well - it's tough titty!
