(I think that’s a nice thing to do in light of the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I…but it def feels like a 'padding the numbers' event.)" Alas, what can be said. Someone should raise her awareness, just as persons' awareness re WWI was raised today... ;)

Anonymous asked: SLIGHTLYANONNY: "I’m neutral on Kate and this may be more on the PR office than her, but to position this as her just going to read the letters about her family is a little self-centered. Literally all they had to add was 'and others' and it would be fine. This just reads like she dressed up for a personal trip to a museum and got some photos taken." She's NEUTRAL people, okkkaaayyrrrlll?
Lol, I saw it too.

Anonymous asked: Btw, I'm pretty sure notasugarhere is posting on LipstickAlley in the Royal related threads. I won't name her handle on there, but she reposts the same hateful talking points over and over again. I think she copies and pastes from CB lmao. Nota and Nic919 (I think that's right) are on countless different royal blogs/forums spreading their Kate hate, and they have been doing this for yearssss. Can you say jealous, bitter, unhinged? They act like Kate murdered their animals or stole their BF!
I think they take the cake from the Twilight fans, who are generally considered the most out there. I think Nota has been at this for longer than Twilighters. It is sad when people dedicate their lives to hating somebody, what a waste. Though, you typically see this with fans hating wives of their crashes.

Anonymous asked: f"or some time I've been worried that your blog was being co-opted by the Meghan Markle haters, many of whom are extremely racist" I completely disagree with this Ask. This is what CB does all day, every day - accusing others of being racist when they they try to voice their opinion. Not once have i seen anything racist against MM on this blog. This is not CB, every person does not have to like/love MM! Her success right now is through Harry. I don't see her as a role model either.

Anonymous asked: And this was neither to deny that racism exists and is prevalent nor was it to earase her experiences and struggles. This was to celebrate her as a woman. This was also to remind us that in her current position she affects the lives of others: our notions of femininity and measures of success.
That is one way to look at it. But another way to look at it is - why should I celebrate someone who got to the position of authority through marriage? This is not an empowering story for women. As I said earlier, I am fine with Meghan, she is perfectly nice, but to me she is not a role model. I meet role models every day - they are working women who make their own destinies with their own hands.
I’ve had a brush with aristocracy, and it colors my opinion of all of them, including Meghan, and the rest of royals. Just to think that no matter how accomplished I may be (or my children) , what I achieve, they will never consider us “good enough” for them. It burns. And , trust me, they might not show it, but many of them deep down think that way, they can’t help it.
Just like we don’t choose the color of our skin, we don’t choose the family of our birth, so why should be some considered above us just because they were born into the right family? No, royalty is nothing to celebrate. Having royalty in this day and age is offensive. And circling back to Celebitchy - how is a site, which claims to be progressive and feminist, doesn’t see the contradiction?

Anonymous asked: I also see someone undoubtedly referring to my asks as "Neo-Nazi"; this was the same crap I saw at Celebitchy. One can't express different ideas without being labelled "Nazi", "Misogynist", "White Supremacist", etc. It's ridiculous to call me that when I have criticised our government for Operation Paperclip -(part 1 of 2)
I just said pretty much the same, I know where you are coming from. My family was in Europe in the WW2, I know that a lot of things went on, even on the allies side which are “not good”, and then they were airbrushed from history. But Holocaust specifically is a very raw subject, let’s tread gently there.
And I want to apologize to anyone of Jewish decent, there was no intent to upset anyone or question the suffering and prosecution that happened during the WW2 and before.

Anonymous asked: Omg, as a fellow Jew (Re whether or not Im a PoC: I'm not American so I cannot apply American categories to myself), I get your comment re Soros. But the "dont critique MM" point is non related. She is a strong, independent woman in a position of power. She is a civil servant. She can take being critiqued. I am sure she can. Let's acknowledge her as an agent. Let's not "orientalize" (for lack of a better term) her. As I see it, in a "safe space," everyone should be acknowledged as an agent.

Anonymous asked: Notasugarhere is truly vile. I notice that she has stopped posting on Meghan's posts as she turned out to be just like every other royal and not the game changer they were expecting her to be. But you can always find her staling Kate's posts complaining and whining and writing essays to people with different opinions than hers.
