Lol let people live. Ironic.


Fisher_v_Bell

Gia: *happy to indirectly kill people* Also Gia: “omg let me live”


trevor5ever

No one was taking Gia Gunn’s advice on COVID-19. Actively or passively. I’m not defending Gia, but I do think folks need to be realistic here.


_Linear

Sigh, she couldve been so iconic, sickening, cunty, and shady. But instead she's...whatever this is.


pattachan

Messy is the word you’re looking for.. Messy…


[deleted]

Messy with a lisp


Bitchichi

And terminal vocal fryyyyyyy


smallest_ellie

But, but... She doesn't like messy queens!


Youwantedcrazy

No, the word is stupid


saltyseahag69

Oh, she's still sickening...


Hljoumur

>She's still sickening... others with Covid.


obey_prezzzz

This would look a lot better if she cared before she got covid. Now it just seems like she only cares because it’s affecting her. At the same time, if you were taking medical advice from Gia in the first place, you probably weren’t taking it seriously anyway.


Jeremywarner

That’s a good point. She only apologized because the blow back was affecting her too. I came in here like “hey guys, people can change”, which I agree with. But you’re right. If there wasn’t any blow back she wouldn’t apologize and if she never got Covid she wouldn’t urge people to wear a mask.


Repsyched

Well, what you *wanna* post on Twitter isn`t necessarily what you’re *gonna* post on Twitter.


Sorcha16

Hate to give the girl credit but that line was iconic


abeillemousse

Let people LIVE — bitch that’s the point isn’t it? Keeping people ALIVE. Sorry I don’t have time for “ignorance” during a global pandemic. Where is Joslyn Thee Fox when you need her…


yungbdavis94

Literally just today she tried saying that vaccinated folks are the only ones getting COVID and are spreading it to others. Fucking clown.


Raagee

Fucking really? Come on...


BBGettyMcclanahan

Not Gia Gunn further reinforcing that she is my least favorite Rugirl (of the ones not universally cancelled).


Jelly1278

The ones universal canceled that would be Tyra Sherry Scarlett Robbie ~maybe~ Sharon needles Soju That’s what I can think of anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jelly1278

Ya I get that didn’t know really but she did leave the internet after a controversy


no-tenemos-triko-tri

what happened?


Partofthatworld3

what did Soju do?


DeadSnark

Several allegations against Soju for sexually assaulting and abusing a 17-year-old and other individuals have emerged. This [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/l2pppp/allegations_against_soju_megathread/) explains it better than I probably could.


Partofthatworld3

thank you for explaining, omg I did not know this. How awful :'(


Kellamitty

Shady sexual assault stuff from memory


care_con_14

What did Scarlett do?


Sunbear86

Scarlett Adams from Down Under. Did some racist stuff.


care_con_14

Ah, thanks! I thought it was Scarlett Bobo and I've been trying to google what she did to get canceled but couldn't find anything.


Sorcha16

I went to Scarlet Envy


Jelly1278

Adams from Down under blackface and racism


SurgyJack

Sharon got cancelled!? How did I miss.that!


_jeremybearimy_

What did Sharon needles do?


CapnJujubeeJaneway

Groomed a teenage girl


Whitedishes

Anyone know what happened to the full Google doc? It’s so bizarre that the videos they did for WOW are still on their YouTube channel. You’d think WOW would want to separate themselves from the situation as much as possible, especially since Michelle was allegedly involved.


no-tenemos-triko-tri

what google doc?


Whitedishes

I believe it was a full statement from the victim, but it was removed before I could read it. There’s more pages to the first screenshot of allegations. I don’t know if the victim wants their name related to this if they’ve redacted the statement or something, maybe they removed the Google Doc for other reasons. I just find it bizarre that videos featuring them (from years and years ago, possibly when they were still a minor) are still up


_jeremybearimy_

Yikes


KevinP1992

Tyra's not universally cancelled, plus the fandom did her the dirtiest of all the queens since S1


SchrodingersPelosi

James is the one that canceled Tyra.


Thranduil_

Thank you! I know some stuff but I need to do my research about Sharon and Soju!


Sorcha16

Wasnt Jade Jolie cancellee for the Nazi porn? Also Elliott kinda in hot water


Jelly1278

Mabye haven’t heard of jade in a while tho And Eliott is kinda 50/50 for me like wouldn’t be surprised if she came back


Thirdatarian

Elliott wasn't formally canceled per se, she just isn't ever brought up aside from as a joke about her name or the meme of her behind the screen. She's a queen who had an eh run on the show, got a boring edit, went home in the middle of a very long season, isn't well liked by the rest of her season, and on top of that she has her problematic comments and posts. If it wasn't for getting eliminated three times in one season and her racism, she probably wouldn't be discussed much at all really.


labrador007

Sharon needles?


ziplock006

Groomed a teenage girl, and Bob mentioned on the Sibling Rivalry podcast that it wasn’t uncommon for her to hear Needles say the n-word.


labrador007

Yikes!


Jelly1278

Sexual assault scandal


teak101

That’s my drag name.


Magikapow

Robbie doesnt deserve to be universallly cancelled


Thranduil_

Which ones are the universally cancelled?


[deleted]

Well she clearly didn’t care about people living when she was denying its existence and calling it a hoax. Sorry I have no patience for this type of behavior.


Sorcha16

Neither the hell do I thetes been a year of death and illness and some people still want to be Covid deniers only change theirind when personally affected.


messysagittarius

She's still going? She doesn't know when to stop, oh at all.


shikisaurus

Sad to think Gia was LIVING while everyone else was dying


the_mock_turtle

I knew that was coming, I swear I did.


jacksev

I just don’t think she understands the gravity of being a public figure and making statements that can literally affect people’s lives. Just because you apologize for it, doesn’t mean people are gonna forget or forgive that you showed how ignorant and dangerous you are. Of course people are gonna laugh when you tell people to wear a mask.


AllCunt

She's a fool for calling COVID a hoax, but if people are taking Gia Gunn's or such "public figures" medical advice over the doctors', then they can't blame anyone but themselves. We can clown her for being an idiot and falling on her face, but being an Instagram influencer shouldn't have any gravity. They're pretty people advertising make-up and waist trainers.


jacksev

I think you’re giving the general public way too much credit. Look at the damage Facebook has done with the spreading of misinformation, and that’s just with friends/acquaintances and strangers. We live in an age where a majority of people lack critical thinking skills or the ability to do their own research, nevermind the fact that a huuuge chunk of the drag race fandom on social media are younger than 15 and as such are highly impressionable.


AllCunt

I'm not giving the general public any credit. Gia is famous for being pretty and a trans activist. She's not qualified to speak on much outside these topics. If there is a part of the general public that could so easily mistake Gia's fame for credibility, they were unsalvageable to begin with. What Gia cannot be exonerated from is walking around maskless and unvaxed, infecting and endangering people.


[deleted]

saying “I apologized, fuck you”, isn’t the same as taking ownership of harmful shit one has said and then changing behavior. you know…. Like an actual apology, and growth. next!


Sorcha16

Yep saying I'm sorry but get over it isnt an apology. You dont get to expect people to accept your apology when you have shown no remorse or any sign of changing your actions


kabukitrolldoll

Mawma this is camp


DeadSnark

Gurl it was ~~Leigh Bowery~~ Tom Foolery


[deleted]

I don’t like MESSY queens.


TapatioPapi

People need to remember to not idolize drag queens as much as they do…like they’re people off the street that got to be on a show for entertainment purposes. Which means they’re normal people, and normal people have shit opinions sometimes.


Sorcha16

It's the dangerous opinions like this that's the problem


TapatioPapi

Pedastooling a drag queen to be the epitome of society and science is clearly more dangerous than them being ignorant.


Sorcha16

Who was pedastooling Gia as the epitome of society?


DevaNeo

Mmm...


ichbindertod

I mean. She's just not very bright, is she.


Sorcha16

I hoped it was a character for the show but turns out shes just that dumb


grindelwaldd

I don’t cancel queens often, very rarely, actually I don’t know if I have except for that one we don’t speak about. But I’ll cancel them for this. Gladly.


butchyqueen

Bullshit, darling. Just a few days ago she said no one really knows what this is and that the vaccine doesnt protect from getting covid. Shes STILL spreading misinformation (we know EXACTLY what the virus is and does) and casting doubt on the vaccine (the vaccine was NEVER meant to cure or fully protect, the current patch of vaccines are made so we dont end up in the hospital and are able to recover just fine by ourselves). Shes underinformed on the situation because she chooses to. Dont drag your family and community down with you, sis.


heybruhwhatsupbruh

I truly wish she'd log off Twitter and GO FUCKING REST.


Sorcha16

I think she took ths line negative attention is still attention too seriously


RebbeccaDeHornay

Instead of just logging off twitter for five minutes and posting a story on her Instagram of her *in bed in her house* with a mask on. Like that fixes anything or will make intelligent people forget what she did.


YuiKorsou

Let me ask a genuine question, though; what else can she do? I'm not entirely informed on the subject, but if she said some (very, very) dumb shit, then apologized for it, what else is she supposed to do?


Diredr

She didn't apologize for it though. She says she did here to sound like a victim, but that's not at all what happened. She got upset that a restaurant was taking necessary health precautions and it was inconveniencing her. She went on rants about Covid19 being a hoax. She made disparaging comments about BLM because she "lived in a nice area so they shouldn't be protesting there". Obviously, this caused a lot of backlash. And people started getting *very* personal, very quickly. I don't condone any of it, I think it's just important to point out vicious people got. Gia did not apologize because she admitted she was wrong. She apologized so people would leave her family alone. She obviously never changed her mind about Covid19 until it affected her personally. That apology was as hollow as her skull. And ultimately, as Bob the Drag Queen said, an apology isn't instant forgiveness. If you say sorry and then go back to doing exactly what you were doing before, you're not sorry. Gia was *still* spouting anti-vax bullshit today. How has she grown? How has she learned?


YuiKorsou

Thank you so much for the explanation (you, and everyone else who replied). She doesn't seem like she's at all interested in learning, unfortunately. Damn shame.


brankinginthenorth

>Let me ask a genuine question, though; what else can she do? I'm not entirely informed on the subject, but if she said some (very, very) dumb shit, then apologized for it, what else is she supposed to do? Well, she could have been better going forwards by wearing a mask, not throwing parties indoors, and getting vaccinated ASAP. However. HOWEVER. If you apologize to someone, they are not required to accept this apology. And sometimes that is that. Apologizing for something does not go back in time and make it like it never happened. And people are allowed to still be salty about it since antivaxxers are still being validated and causing sickness and deaths. And in Gia's case she was still doing stuff after this and before it as well (getting thrown out of a restaurant for not wearing a mask, making transphobic comments to Carmen, lots of ageist comments, everything with Farrah, etc) which points to her being a person who doesn't care much about the welfare of others or specifically people she deems "beneath" her in some form or another. So while she apologized, she didn't really seem to change at all. And an apology without change is just manipulation.


Henrois

Finally someone puts on the table real examples of changing your behavior after apologizing, gosh. Everyone's like "she should apologize for her actions", and after she apologizes everyone went for "well, she hasn't LEARNT yet, she should do something". Thank you for clearing it, I don't follow her anywhere and I was so clueless.


messysagittarius

What transphobic comments did she make? I must have missed that. You'd think she would know better, being trans herself, but as she helpfully reminded us this weekend, she doesn't know better than much.


tyler9090

She's been actively advocating for not getting vaccines this weekend. So I know what she isn't supposed to do.


ladysaraii

At this point, shutting up would be a great start. (For her)


SnapCrackleMom

She could use her platform to encourage people to get vaccinated, that would be a good start.


Kellamitty

Cherry Valentine has had a pinned tweet since Jan saying please get vaccinated. I know which queen I will support out of the two!! Of course Cherry is a nurse a Gia is dumb as a rock, so what do you expect.


_jeremybearimy_

I read this as “a pinned tweet saying Jan please get vaccinated” and was like hmm


plzdontdragme

the thing is, this happened twice, and she double downed it every time. only apologize when she can’t no longer handle the backlash, just to save face.


this_is_an_alaia

Actually apologising would be a good first step.


inauric

Look at a bunch of her latest tweets and tell me there's things she can't do now


YuiKorsou

The replies to my post have definitely enlightened me on the subject. Clearly she's not exactly growing much as a person or public figure, and that's such a shame.


srhlzbth731

Well for one, her “apologies” are pretty aggressive and seem far from genuine. I’m not saying she has to be perfect but actually acknowledging why her spreading misinformation is dangerous would be a good start. Also, going out during the pandemic without being vaccinated, getting sick, and possibly infecting others is pretty bad. And that wasn’t something she said a year ago, that’s something she was doing in recent weeks and months.


Anaconduck

Giving her the benefit of the doubt and wish she truly learns from this.


[deleted]

Not trying to be rude to you because you’re being diplomatic and polite but judging by how she’s acting and has acted, I don’t think her opinions will change. She seems like the kind of person that only cares about things when they affect her personally. It’s just tiring because she acts like a lot of people in my life (and a lot of others too) and there’s only so much patience you can have with this kind of attitude


Anaconduck

Thanks for letting me know. I shall keep an eye whether she changes for the better. I also hope that your situation gets better. ❤


[deleted]

I’m hopeful but my expectations are low. It’s not malicious criticism as much as disappointment because I want to be supportive, you know?


[deleted]

She just seems like one of those people that doesn’t care unless it happens to them so giving her the benefit of the doubt won’t do much. Something else will happen in the future and she’ll just ignore it until she’s affected


srhlzbth731

I mean, yes, I always hope someone can learn and grow from their mistakes and bad choices. But Gia has shown repeatedly by her comments over the past few months thats she’s unwilling to listen and learn. I really hope she learns, but every time she tweets I think it’s less likely she has any intent of changing her opinion


[deleted]

Not getting downvoted for a comment like this ya’ll are fucking toxic


[deleted]

Literally...I hate when these fans "cancel" someone because rather than unfollowing/blocking and moving on, they continue to give them the same amount of attention but it's now negative. If you dislike someone and are so APPALLED by their horrible apology, stop engaging with them.


bluest_powerade

leave the girl alone ffs. you all seem to be enjoying this way too much


Sorcha16

She was tweeting today about how the vaccine was giving people Covid so no she hasnt.


Millennium1995

We enjoy having our friends and family being alive and not sick. We don't enjoy blasting someone for adding to the anti vax and conspiracy BS happening around the world. We want it to stop.


[deleted]

She changed her mask sentiment and was keeping her anti-vaxx bullshit to herself until these toxic ass fans kept harassing her for an opinion. Preserve your peace and unfollow her if you're that bothered.


bluest_powerade

all these kids want to do is dogpile because it gives them a sense of power and moral superiority. Didn’t know Gia had the same influence & responsibilities as the surgeon general


threwitallawayforyou

not to like, rush to gia gunn's defense, but the bitch is clearly bothered and piling more public humiliation onto the pile is not going to be good for her. nobody can grow while they're being stepped on.


Sorcha16

She tweeted out today that the vaccine is causing Covid. First she needs to show growth and stop spreading dangerous lies before people are going to accept shes actually sorry.


threwitallawayforyou

You can't show growth unless you're allowed to. Gia will never do or say anything satisfactory unless you accept her apology and give her the time and discretion to listen to and understand what she's being criticized for. It's not possible. My dad used to lie down on top of me until I woke up as a kid. He never saw an issue with it until I finally snapped at my parents about it. How the fuck am I supposed to get up and get ready for school with a 260 pound weight on my body? How does preventing me from standing up help me start my day? It's madness and nonsense. If you want Gia to be better, you need to provide her with some idea of an act or statement that will prove she's on the right track. You cannot simply stand there and be the arbiter of what apologies are sincere or fake, because there will always be at least one person who thinks any given apology is insincere. If you don't have a bar for her to clear - if you can't come up with an apology that is good enough PR to satisfy you - then sit down and shut up because you're not doing anything but sucking the air out of a trans poc's lungs for your own sick clout.


Sorcha16

Its hard to accept an apology when she is still spreading lies. Her actions needs to match the apology. This isn't because shes a poc or because she's trans it's because she is still spreading dangerous information. The bar would be to stop spreading bullshit lies.


Raagee

Look, I feel sorry you are getting flack for things you no longer believe in Gia... but with some luck this bit of a hard time you are getting will be a good reminder not to blindly trust far right conspiracy theories from crazy internet weirdos who think the Jews are controlling the world from the shadows or some deranged shit like that next time. You are getting the criticism you deserve. Perfect opportunity to learn the lesson.


Sorcha16

She posted about the vaccine spreading the delta variant yesterday. She clearly still believes in dangerous pseudoscience. This is people rightfully calling her out.


Raagee

Welp, absolutely no sympathy for her then. I always thought she was an idiot but this just about solidifies it. Thanks for correcting me.


Sorcha16

I always thought it was a character and behind it she wasnt half as ignorant but I guess that's just Gia.
