The lack of self awareness on here is quite something 🤪. Thank goodness it’s Friday🍷

Genuine question, why is Harry unconscious bias and everyone is racist?*

That was a generic question and genuine

I'm beginning to find it exhausting. Cheers 🍷

Yes it is mentally exhausting.

I’m off to the pub!

The H&M supporters always get shirty when the Canada Interlude is mentioned as it just doesn’t fit into or suit their narrative. It’s so frustrating! If only people would acknowledge some facts, their other arguments would hold more water. M&H wanted a half-in, half-out. Maybe there were many decent reasons for this behind the scenes, but still they wanted to stay “royal” and do “royal things”.

ILikeDinosaurs · 22/09/2023 17:53

If you're making comments about racist comments in Harrys past and saying nothing about Thomas and his family, Prince Phillip or the racist who was concerned about Archies colour, then it is YOU with the double standards. But like I said, I consider those here defending and having sympathy with Thomas to be racist

Absolutely.

I don't think anyone has seriously defended TM Sr

That's a joke
Over years he has been defended vigorously as just a poor befuddled man who means no harm.
Even the half siblings were stuck up for on threads.
Maybe you haven't been here very long, but I promise you there's been quite a fan club for TM. Whatever he does.

Obviously the motive of the defenders is...he hurts Meghan and anyone who does that has to be defended

Edited

Maybe not on this thread but in the past there's been a lot of support for Thomas Markle and Samantha Grant (mainly from the same types who spread conspiracy theories about Doria having been in prison) here over the years.

There have been tons of threads and posts over the years trying to portray Thomas Markle as a poor old man who did nothing wrong except be naïve and let someone exploit him into posing for some staged photos. Lots of comments about how mean Meghan is for turning her back on a poor elderly man with health problems.

Which isn't even true since Thomas was the one who ghosted his daughter when she stopped funding him, not the other way round.

I once posted a Telegraph article that claimed (with evidence) that Thomas Markle had faked his heart attack and surgery, and within the space of less than half an hour (and this was very late at night when you wouldn't expect many people to be online) FIVE brand new usernames popped up just screaming the most deranged abuse, calling me a "lying shit for brains cunt", literally five different usernames all posting "I am a longtime lurker but I was moved by that evil lying cunt LittleDuck's vile abusive attack on poor Thomas Markle to register an account just to express what a hideous cunt she is". Within minutes there were three full pages of different usernames just screeching abuse and screaming YOU'RE A CUNT YOU'RE A CUNT YOU'RE A CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT over and over again. All because I mildly criticised Thomas Markle. I'm personally convinced it was Samantha Grant posting under all those different usernames, because she has a history of obsessive and abusive online behaviour and of using lots of different accounts to sockpuppet.

That's the thing that always gets overlooked, the tiny minority of really dangerously obsessed anti-Meghan posters who are abusive and use large numbers of sockpuppets. I once created a light hearted thread to share a podcast from a young woman who'd worked with Meghan at a charity and said a lot of very nice things about Meghan, I was very insomniacal and working night shifts so happened to start the thread at 2am, and within minutes there were at least 20 separate usernames tearing me to shreds, hurling abuse, belittling me, calling the podcaster girl a liar, belittling her career, just the most extreme nastiness and abuse, for NOTHING. Just because some psycho couldn't tolerate the fact one single person said Meghan was nice. Who even cares?? And I don't believe for a second there were actually 20 different posters online at 2am who all reacted with the same astounding level of extreme aggression and abuse just at someone saying "I met Meghan once and she was nice." That's not a normal reaction to have.

And there has been a lot of support for Samantha Grant here, definitely a lot of comments from posters who clearly took the Markles' side and had sympathy for them, and were against Harry and Meghan. Lots of "I don't support Samantha Grant but..." type comments. Comments minimising their actions, or claiming Thomas Markle didn't do anything except let himself be photographed, or that Samantha Grant didn't do anything except give interviews.

Lots and lots of comments putting the blame (for the NC) entirely on Meghan or making goady comments about Meghan being estranged from all her family and friends, which clearly isn't true to begin with (remember during the wedding, how obsessively certain posters pushed the lie that Meghan didn't have a single friend at her wedding, then someone found a list of like a dozen old school/uni friends who were there?), and basically acts like Meghan going nc with one side of her family is a red flag, while not holding the other Markles to the same standard. Both Thomas and Samantha are estranged from their whole entire families (whereas Meghan always had a close relationship with her maternal side) and Samantha was found guilty of child abuse and had her own daughter accuse her of being a child abuser. Yet anti-Meghan posters always minimise that and act like it didn't happen.

This
There are so many in these threads who have an indefatigable , unyielding hatred of Meghan that they excuse the actions of a someone who is simply a crap father.
I still don’t understand why Meghan’s very existence arouses the ire of so many in these threads.
Their rabid obsession just ensures that Meghan remains relevant.

Flowerybeing · 22/09/2023 18:39

I don't get it either but just the name Meghan elicits such hate in some people. I've never seen anything like it. It's not like she's a criminal who has done anything evil or wrong but some people ENJOY picking her apart.You don't have to dig far enough to find out why they have such hatred of her.

colourwheelofortune · 22/09/2023 20:19

I don't think most people hate Meghan Markle. They just find her vain and shallow and frankly quite boring. Her only real claim to fame is who she married. I hope she goes her own way and forges a path of celebrity that she can say is created from her own talents. Whether that is via a Kardashian collaboration or a Gwyneth Paltrow style instagram endeavour is not relevant. Neither appeal to me but I hope they are successful for her and her American Hollywood dream. Equally I hope Harry finds a niche that suits his skill set.

As for the nut jobs on the internet as a whole @TheLittleDuckWhoRoared from my experience, they are cut from the same cloth whether they support meghan or hate her. Avoid at all costs, along with the crazy conspiracy theorists on Youtube etc. That way lies madness LOL

I've also never seen anyone defend her fathers actions and behaviours. Understand it yes, but not excuse it. Just my personal observation.

Omg yes

She's been very quiet but that doesn't stop the ridiculous insults

It's beyond a joke

She really hasn’t. 10 outfit changes in 3 days in Germany, two appearances at Beyoncé concerts, photos set up with a Nu-Calm patch and at a drive in…

I expected more of you to be honest Serenster.

She supported her husband at Invictus, someone took footage of them at a concert, and she wore something

I'm surprised at you.

Iwantcakeeveryday · 22/09/2023 20:40

What a witch, how dare she change outfits at a big public event that many times!
