"often Americans think that their way is the only way" So true, it was really funny when people found out that Japanese and Chinese didnt care at all about the casting of ScarJo in Ghost and Matt Damon in The Great Wall.

Japanese and Chinese are the majority in their respective countries. And they also have their own entertainment and movie industries. They don’t view Hollywood the same way Japanese-Americans or Chinese-Americans do.  This perspective is not understood at all by the Celebitchy posters and if anyone dares to voice it, they are quickly shut down.

stiina_81 hotcom I hate Kaiser. I have been reading Celebitchy for years. Why don't you include a comment section on every post you write?

I am not sure I understood you right, anon. I think all my posts have ‘Notes’ feature enabled where you can write comments. If that is what you are asking.

Or are you talking about the Celebitchy site?

No one is censoring you, especially not on your own blog. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the right to free speech. There is no way to even begin a discussion or give you an example because you're changing the definitions of words to suit your bias. Also saying something cannot be true because you do not understand it is a fallacy known as an argument from incredulity. It is extremely illogical.

OK. 

I meant I wasn’t going to censor you.

Why would any person be interested in entertaining the incoherent ramblings of someone who is clearly ignorant and uneducated in the subject they are discussing? This is exactly why the world is in such dire straits, because people like you think your uneducated opinions are more valid than facts. You are free to express those nonsense feelings, just like I am free to tell you that they are factually incorrect and ridiculous. Free speech =/= freedom from criticism or ridicule.

I post this because I don’t believe in censoring. But I have nothing further to say on this. I am neither ignorant nor uneducated, I simply have  a different frame of reference and different life experience. If you want to discuss facts, give me an example of cultural appropriation that you find so damaging, and we can talk about it. I’ll tell you what I think.

But I can tell you right away that I find impossible to understand the Celebitchy's outrage du-jour about Wes Anderson’s animation about dogs set in Japan being voiced  by white actors. If we take it as one example.

Your opinion doesn't change the definition of words sweetheart. For that matter you didn't show you were right either, you just spouted a lot of factually incorrect nonsense. No one gives a shit about your vendetta with that website, so congratulations for the inane rambling!

I am sweetheart to you now, am I. You know that is a belittling term just like “boy”, correct?

You take an issue with me but you cannot keep your own prejudices in check.

I have no vendetta with Celebitchy. But our exchange here is quite illustrative. On Celebitchy all of my posts disagreeing with the approach to “cultural appropriation” would be moderated while yours would be allowed to stand. And this is why I created this blog.

Discussion happens when both parties can express their opinion freely. It doesn’t happen when one party is shut out and is forced to accept the other’s opinion as the ultimate truth.

You see my earlier post as a rant. But I was actually trying to explain where I am coming from.  You are not interested in understanding it. And that is fine. It is your right. But don’t expect me to change my opinion just because you think I should.

Apr 26, 2017
Cultural appropriation =/= cultural exchange dipshit. When you go around showing you don't even know basic definitions you just look silly.

I am not going to argue. It is my opinion and my experience coming from a mixed ethnicity family and a multi-cultural society.

Not everybody looks at the world the American way or any other specific way. I live in the US now and I can see how often Americans think that their way is the only way. That their way is the only way and everybody else is wrong. It isn’t so.

You think your way is right. I think my way is right, more productive and less adversarial.

That is probably why I was banned from Celebitchy. I am not going to agree with something that in my experience is a negative/ unproductive approach, just because I am told that  I am supposed to think a certain way.

What some people don’t seem to understand is  that calling others names is not going to convince them to change their opinion. If you are certain you are right, then SHOW how you are right.  That means -  SHOW through your own experience and actions. Words are empty. Actions speak louder than words. That means you cannot say one thing one day  and then  act differently another day, that would be hypocrisy, something that Celbitchy is full of.

Oh my. All the race baiting going on in and under the Rachel Dolezal article. “Peak white supremacy”, really? 

For example this part, what is that about?

“It is a bit extreme, but it is in no way new for white people to take what they want from other cultures in the name of love and respect, while distorting or discarding the remainder of that culture for their comfort”

Is that about so-called cultural appropriation? Cultures always borrowed from one another and adapted what they borrowed to their tastes. It makes cultures richer. I’ll go even further and say that this is how the human society progresses, through synthesis. It is not a bad thing.

And are some of the regular posters seriously arguing that race is a biological trait and not a social construct?

Melania Trump is another woman “Celebitchers” love to hate. I think they are so free with derision of her because she is  a wife of “the enemy”. And they feel free to engage into some “therapeutical steam release” using her as a target dummy. There is nothing about Melania herself to justify this level of derision.

Almost every comment under the article starts with “ I don’t feel sorry for her”, “she made her choice” and so on.

As someone who grew up outside of the US I also find the US office of First lady to be archaic and patriarchal. And this is not a new position for me. I always thought so. For Europeans this concept of a whole family representing their country is too similar to monarchy. In addition, the office of the First lady is not official, unelected and is unpaid.  The First Lady is treated as a property of her husband. And that is just not right. I don’t see how American feminists square the concept of the First Lady with women rights. No woman should be treated as a property or pressured into doing something she doesn’t want to just because of who her husband is. Again, for Europeans this is unthinkable.

Here is one of very few balanced comments on Melania I tend  agree with. Especially about the bitchiness she provokes in others.

And here is another one, which is more representative of what you see BTL at Celebitchy.

Doesn’t any capitalist society operate on this principle? Especially one such as the US, which practices unrestrained laissez-faire capitalism? So it is OK that everyone else does it, just Melania is not allowed? Celebitchy is a wrong name for his site. It should be called Hypocrisy by any other name.

Bullcrap

It’s funny how “white cis males/women” are the enemy over at CeleBITCHY, yet Kaiser writes a thread dedicated  to picking at Kate Middleton’s accent and not even being clever about it, because they ALL HAVE SUBTITLES.

So you hate this woman so much or you love hate clicks so much that you have to make two posts a day just to trash her for no reason.

I love all the skinny shaming in the comments about KM (by Lainey no less) and I kept imagining, “if someone were overweight, would they allow anyone to talk about how unhealthy they are? That’s rude and wrong right?’

So why do they do it so freely to skinny women? As a overweight women myself I would never comment on another woman’s weight, because it’s a senstive topic.

I wouldn’t comment on anyone’s weight tbh.

I swear CeleBITCHY is one of the most backwards hypothetical websites I have ever been on.Writers who call themselves Feminist, but more often then not are more racists,sexist and judgemental than the people that are  the so called enemy.

As a black woman, I find CeleBITCHY as a whole to be a negative counterproductive place.

On every level.

They are casually racists, sexist, shaming and often accuse men of being gay in a discriminatory way.

Backwards.

——————————-

It is clear that Kate Middleton is a pure click-bait. Just like Tom Hiddleston.  The only difference is that Tom Hiddleston is a click-bait for his fans and Kate Middleton is a click-bait for people who love to demean her and I am actually not sure what they find in it. 

I am against the monarchy myself. But that is what I would talk about. Not the color of Kate’s shoes. 

No, these women derive some sick pleasure in ripping someone apart. And I guess they don’t feel guilty about doing it to Kate Middleton because she is privileged.  Privileged or not, it is still very wrong. She is still a human being. Not to mention that everyone in the royal family is privileged but Celebitchy only loves to hate Kate.

Submission

ha ha! i can’t believe how ultra sensitive kaiser is regarding Angelina Jolie.
twice i submitted this in response to the AJ and Tom Ford post:

can he teach her how to use HD makeup?
she needs help.


REJECTED. TWICE!

i took a screen cap of it the 2nd time because i had the sneaking suspicion she just didn’t care for the joke and everything else i posted today went through after moderation.

I see Melania Trump won her defamation case against Daily Mail. The news was in all major newspapers yesterday. But Celebitchy is mum on this.

They sure loved dragging Melania through the mud when Daily Mail printed their story about her being an escort. But now that it is retracted all you hear from Kaiser is crickets.

This is just another instance of faux-feminism.

Latest Stats

I checked Celebitchy.com  latest stats, They are doing much better last 2 months. I don’t really see the reason, but I am guessing it is all those Trump articles that attract people.  Expect more of the same then. If it is working for them, they are going to continue.

A couple more thoughts.

* Celebitchy is so repetitive, they are just going through motions. You almost know what you are going to see every day  -  Royals, Trump, Hiddleston, some random 3rd tier celebrity clickbait. This is usually a sign of a site on life support  where the writers (in this case the writer, I guess)  spend no time on new research, just automatically going through motions. I haven’t looked at their traffic stats in a while. I need to do that.

* If you are supposed to be an entertainment / celebrity blog and you are short on topics to cover how about you cover Olivier Awards, for example?  This is a pretty high profile event.

Here is the scoop on today’s visit to CB

·         Daily clickbait articles on Tom Hiddleston are just lame. It is obvious CB is catering to Tom Huddleston’s fans who are the biggest contingent of loyal readers remaining on CB. It is not CB, it is HiddlestonDaily now. I don’t hate Hiddleston, I am neutral on him. But I don’t consider him to be a great actor. He is a good actor, one of hundreds other good actors. Brits are blessed with having so many good actors to pick from. Nevertheless, the conspiracy theories trying to explain why Hiddleston wasn’t nominated for BAFTA were fun to read.

·         Janelle Monae is talking about denying sex to men until they show women respect. I don’t know even where to start on this. If someone doesn’t respect you then you shouldn’t even socialize with that person, never mind having sex. But if you think that using sex as a carrot will make anyone respect you more, the truth is very much the opposite. People should respect us for who we are, regardless of whether they get sex or not. To their credit many CB posters did see how wrong this idea is and did speak up. But some instead decided to talk about how nice Monae looks because they didn’t want to openly criticize her. If it was almost anybody else they would’ve torn her to shreds, though. This kind of hypocrisy I cannot respect. Speak your mind and don’t be so partisan.

·         So many posters who are still not willing to give up the conspiracy theory that Trump is a Russian agent truly scare me. This kind of willful denial and ignorance is not rational. So many still claim that Trump is a Russian agent because he warned Russians about the strike but not the Congress.  Let me put it this way -  the Congress doesn’t have missiles that could kill Americans, Russians do. If Russians weren’t warned they could’ve considered the airstrike an attack on them and retaliated. And this is not something anyone wants, including Trump. I am very much in the “pox on both of their houses” camp when it comes to Trump and Clinton. But I have no desire to goad Trump into yet another war we don’t need.

·     Kaiser is talking about how Justin Trideau looks so much more princely than William. Harry, of course, gets a pass.  First, monarchy is archaic. Both William and Harry should stop playing princes, abdicate and go live normal lives. Neither of them deserves our adoration. As for Trideau, he is a leader of a country. And hopefully he is doing his job well. He is not in his position for his good looks. Or, at least, he shouldn’t be

Ah, the smell of the WW3 with the morning coffee. No, I don't  like it.

And all the people posting about Trump being a Russian agent and the Syrian air strike being a PR move for Trump with Russians being in on it, and everything is choreographed. Stop, I beg you. Ask any Russian what they think and I am pretty sure they will tell you that this is not how Russians operate.

You will sleepwalk into the WW3 all the way believing that this is all planned by Trump and Putin. It will be too late when you finally realize it is not a game, and there is no devious plan, but two nuclear powers on a brink of a confrontation. Are you willing to take the chance?

I just wanted to say that I love your site. I have been a regular reader (never comment, though!) of Celebitchy for two or three years now, and Kaiser's constant race-baiting is ridiculous. She looks for an argument in EVERY post and it's so negative. I've been trying to look for a celebrity gossip blog that is not so negative but it's hard...I agree with everything that you write about on Banned from Celebitchy, from the nasty commenters to the faux-feminism!

Thank you for the kind words. I am glad to hear this.

Somehow little by little CB descended from being fun and snarky to outright negativity. Being snarky is ok, as long as it is done in a lighthearted manner and is not  malicious, but the line is pretty thin and is easy to cross.

Although I was not banned from CB, I actually banned myself from posting ever again a couple of years ago. (In fact, a few of my own comments I disliked and asked CB to delete them for me.) This was for many of the reasons you stated, but the overall negativity of the site was getting me down, and no matter what I wrote, I felt I was only perpetuating the spin. No question for you really, I'm just glad to know I was not alone in my feelings for CB.

Agree with you there. CB is extremely negative now. It is really not a healthy place. But it was different  2-3 years ago when I started reading it. For one, there were 3-4 regular writers, not only Kaiser. Kaiser is the most negative one. And I almost always disagree with her, so that got me banned pretty quickly.))

I rarely bother going there, maybe once a week, just to keep this blog afloat. But when I was banned for the 2nd time I felt like I needed a place to speak up because what Kaiser does with manipulating the posts and censoring of any opposing opinions is not right.

You started a Tumblr to complain about Celebitchy?! That's negative. Why not start your own Celeb gossip board where anyone can speak freely on gossip. What is the point in putting down someone else site becuase YOU don't agree with their posts? You're giving Celebitchy more attention...

Thank you for asking. )) I started this blog so that I could post what I think since I am not allowed to do that on Celebitchy. They banned me for disagreeing with “the party line”.

I am not someone who you can just tell to shut up and I will comply. I stand behind the things I say. If I say something it usually means I believe it. To be shut down and not allowed to speak  and defend my point of view is offensive to me.

it is interesting that you think I am negative because one of my main disagreements with Celebitchy is that they are too negative. I am not negative enough for them, apparently. I don’t immediately jump on somebody for a slight misstep.  I prefer to give the benefit of a doubt. I don’t willfully misinterpret other people’s world or omit fact to construct a narrative for which to criticize them. 

As for why I don’t I start my own site. Well, for one thing I already have a full time job. And it pays much better than a job of a gossip writer. I am also very good at it what I do for a living and I enjoy it.
