Caitlin Moran #2 She’s just insulting everyone’s intelligence now

[IOrderedASandwich]

Saw her BS post about how her kids want to move out but "can't afford to". I thought all yer 90s celebs had massive BTL portfolios?

 

[HotesTilaire]

Have they got jobs?
Are they looking at houseshares in zone 4-6? Or are they creatives who want a duplex is Shoreditch?

 

[skronkywildcat]

She could definitely afford to buy them a flat each.

Get Aunty Lauren to play Eavie on the radio a bit more, Catlin! Boost those royalties!

 

[griftalo]

It's ghastly isn't it? Moran acting like she invented Bluesky and welcoming people 'SO lovely to SEE Bob Mortimer HERE!!!!!!!! Now we KNOW X is officially OVER!!!!!!!!'.
Nauseating.

And trying to talk to carol vauderman was excruciating!

Oh crap! I thought this was the jack monroe thread because she is exactly the same

On 'The Rest Is Entertainment' podcast this week Marina Hyde is pretty sneery about the people moving to Bluesky. She talks about a 'Bluesky-ocracy' (mentioning no names). It's quite an interesting discussion between MH and podcast co-host Richard Osman.

not following anyone who is a person of colour, the group is all white people

Or at any rate, very few. Moran slightly less so but...

They just have their same old, same old circle jerk of similar media wankers.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I don’t understand going through who they are following to see who is ‘overwhelmingly white’ or not

 

[HotesTilaire]

Well Caitlin had that whole diversity faux pas

 

[Jelly Bean]

Well Caitlin had that whole diversity faux pas

Oh blimey yes - was that the thing about 'Girls'?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

What was it?

Caitlin Moran and Eve Barlow Are Giving Girls a Bad Name

Lena Dunham's probably not racist, but that doesn't mean racism doesn't exist.

interesting too because Caitlin lives in a particularly diverse area of London which itself it very diverse anyway, and a year earlier there was literal rioting on her doorstep due to tensions between POC and the police.

 

[Stillwater]

She literally couldn’t give a tit … was her initial response.

Didn't she post a tweet saying something like SEND IN THE TANKS?

 

[skronkywildcat]

There was rioting in Crouch End?

That’s a surprising response considering how woke she usually is

The Girls thing was because she was frothing about being able to write about how FEMINIST it was that women are MESSY and REAL and Hannah didn’t wear a BRA - she didn’t want to address anything actually complicated like intersectionality or lack of representation, that may have involved further research out with her twitter echo chamber - that would be far too uncomfortable and make her realise how little she knew about some things.

i don’t think it was even as complicated as that. She just saw young white women living in a city and recognised it as her experience and therefore that was the beginning and the end of it - it was a universal tale. The very idea that young women of colour or young women from different classes might have had differing experiences never even popped into her noggin. She wasn’t worried about doing research because it would have never occurred to her that there was research to be done!

Yes but when that conversation was happening and she was asked, her reaction on Twitter was “no, I literally don’t give a tit”
Obviously Crouch End didn’t suffer much in the riots but they broke out on Tottenham High Rd which is the same borough, it’s not two miles away, she was within a mile of the most intense rioting.
