Anonymous asked: Re MM voting. I 100% agree. It would be a PR nightmare if it turns out she did. The backlash will be strong. Also there would be some legal questions, as she now represents the British head of state! In other words, it is not just about US law; it is mostly about English law. For me, much of the current cult following is an expression of national pride and sentiment -- as she is seen as the American who "took over" the british crown. This is worrying, especially in the current political climate.

A couple thoughts on whether Meghan voted or not - if she is still a US citizen then she technically could, but I don’t think she did. It just wouldn’t be proper.
As a naturalized US citizen I had to take an Oath of Allegiance, which is sort of assumed for people born in the US. Among other things it has a part which states “I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty “, and Meghan is literally married to a foreign prince.
I think Meghan’s American fans see her as an American, but Meghan is no longer an American, she gave it up.
Also, I think long-term Meghan will not be able to keep the US citizenship. Some people don’t realize but the US is different from all other countries when it comes to taxes and financial reporting. The US taxes worldwide income, which no other developed country does, so Meghan would have to declare all her income from the British crown, all the presents, all her foreign bank accounts, and then pay US taxes on that income. This is the reason so many Americans living abroad are renouncing the US citizenship. I am just not sure the BRF would like that long-term, I doubt they like the IRS having an inside look at their books and having authority to audit them through Meghan being a US citizen. I am sure all of this had been discussed and agreed upon with Meghan before marriage.

You can rip right into her a feel nary an ounce of guilt nor the need to justify or apologise for your way of thinking. I'm not a Kate fan by any measure, but the level of woman hatred on sites like that are at Gilead levels."

Anonymous asked: 1/2 I just wanted to share a comment from another site on here about the extreme Insane Kate Hatred on CB where everything she does is deemed terrible. "This site is one of the precious few that don't indulge in character assassinations of most of the subjects of the posts -Kate included. In this sense, it's a sanctuary for those of us who want to indulge in the glam/horror, without reading unnecessarily nasty, snarky comments below, those of us who just enjoy genuine observations and remarks."

Anonymous asked: I agree with your opinion on Disney movies. It took me too much time to realise the imprinted messages there and small girls get those messages from all the world around them. Family, school, comercials, films. That has to change. I believe they could watch it, but the parents should know how to show different point of views while that. I like Disney, but I don't get all the hype americans have for it and its films after I grew up.

I want to chime in on the criticism of Keira’s and her opinion that Disney princess movies are damaging.
I grew up outside of the US, in a different culture, and I didn’t watch Disney movies until I was pretty much an adult. And …. I found them boring, silly and irrelevant. I do think they can be damaging to a young child who cannot process them critically.
Speaking specifically about Hans Andersen’s fairy tales, my favorite one is about the Ice Queen, Hans and Gerda. Gerda is the young girl who embarks on a journey through tundra and through unknown lands to save Hans from the Ice Queen, and when she finds him , she melts his frozen heart with love. This is a wonderful story where a girl has agency, she is brave, strong, capable and loving. She gets to ride a polar bear, how cool is that? ))) I wonder why Disney never thought of animating it?
Women who say that they grew up with Disney and they turned out fine, in my opinion, don’t fully understand how young children learn. Children absorb what they see as sponges and what they see is “normal” to them. You can’t really have critical conversations about pros and cons with young children. Sure, it is possible to overcome those messages we received as young children, but why do it if it is possible to avoid damaging messages? As I said, I didn’t watch Disney as a child and I think I am better for it. So, I am with Keira on this one.

Anonymous asked: Omg first time posting on here. But Kaiser just posted about Rebel Wilson blocking people who disapprove and disagree with her!! HELLO pot meet kettle. We all know that she blocked black followers on celebitchy when they were getting on to her about not posting about the BET awards and now she has the audacity to get onto Rebel. I really can’t right now.

Anonymous asked: Kate is pretty scandal free if that is really all they can say.... she doesn't bring the drama and the majority of Brits like her. Contrary to the opinions on CB, she is popular and fulfils her role quite well. The polls show it. In the CB universe, every Brit dislikes her, the RF members hate her, nobody respects her, they thinks she is incredibly lazy and doesn't work. Oh, and she purposely keeps her kids away from the wider Royal family. Reality vs fanfiction on CB is laughable.
