I was just reading the post on Amal vs. Angelina and kept saying to myself - what? what? in what universe does this make any sense? But one thing does make sense now - the irrational dislike of Amal on Celebitchy. She is Angelina’s competition in their eyes!
It was also funny how posters kept addressing their posts to Brad, as if he reads Celebitchy, lol.

On Madonna
Wow they really like to go the ageist route when it comes to Madonna. I heard old while lady, hag, has-been, comments about her puffy face. Dang, the woman is 60 and in the worst industry that scrutinizes a woman’s appearance. Kaiser really doesn’t get the pressure of being in the public eye as opposed to sitting at home writing blog posts in sweatpants dragging women who achieved 100x what she has for stupid crap like fashion and hair choices.
Madonna was there as a fan of Aretha Franklin, so told her story from an inspired fan’s perspective. She didn’t break into a rendition of RESPECT or anything. And if you were outraged, blame MTV who chose her to do it. But don’t make awful ageist comments about her appearance and act like Madonna never did anything worth a damn.
I’m amazed these women who support women, these woke feminists are so ageist.
Also they seem to wait for a way the narrative is going to go in the comments to chime in, because days ago they were calling Madonna an icon. Depending on the day and the outrage about cultural appropriation, Madonna is either a washed up old hag or a pop icon. Ridiculous.
—————————————————————————————————
My first reaction was - why Madonna? I mean, really, they could not find a respect black musician to do it? I have absolutely nothing against Madonna, but it just didn’t make any sense, even on the surface. But it is not Madonna’s fault, you are right about that. This decision is on MTV.
I also noticed that when CB commenters don’t like someone, they attack the person’s looks, even though they know better than that. I remember reading something really nasty about Ivanka’s looks a few days ago.And I thought - , really, is that is what important? It is so petty. Plus, what about people who resemble Ivanka’s looks? Her look is not that uncommon in Eastern Europe. Are we going to call all those women “strange looking” too, just because they look like Ivanka?
And, triple yes to the groupthink observation. Kaiser herself is like that. Half of the time she doesn’t know what to think on issues and takes lead from people she thinks are “woke”. Either people on other sites or on CB. On top of it the merciless moderating out of people with any kind of independent opinions also naturally leads to groupthink.

Ha-ha-ha. I just read the post where Meghan’s father said that the BRF as like a secret cult, and then the comments below. Quite surreal, I must say.
You know what, he is right. The BRF, as an institution, is old, secretive, has many skeletons in the closet, and I am sure, is guilty of covering up many crimes. As recently as Andrew’s involvement with Epstein.
You can feel whatever way you want about Meghan, and her extended family, but let’s not whitewash the BRF, just because you like Meghan. Remember, this is the same family that Diana couldn’t wait to get out of. This is an institution which should’ve been gone 200 years ago, at least.
It is telling that the posters go on and on about how awful he is, but don’t address the core of this claim, which is actually true. They can’t bring themselves to admit that they were seduced by the Cinderella story to the point where they are willing to overlook quite the real harm that the BRF inflicts on the society.

Anonymous asked: Notice how CBer's are patting themselves on the back for believing Asia Argento's victim and still being good feminists? I think they're aware of this site...
Ok, that one is a shocker. I do think, though, that a victim of abuse can also become an abuser, as abuse gets internalized. Though, I would say it seems to be usually the case with abuse sustained over a period of time, such as domestic abuse. I was a bit taken aback that a couple of CB posters were very offended by this observation.
In fact, this is why abuse is so awful - it not only damages the direct victim, but also people close to the victim and also can create a cycle of abuse and many victims down the line.

Anonymous asked: The hypocrisy is rife over at CB, I recall a post maybe two weeks ago when it came out that Meghan Markel’s half sister was going to be on a UK reality show. Kaiser said she was being forced (ha!) to write these posts and blamed the people who read the site for “forcing” her to keep writing about Meghan’s relatives. Since then there has been a post almost every day about one of these people. I am trying to stop reading CB, but it’s hard, as it used to be fun. Have started reading pajiba instead

Anonymous asked: My first clue to GTFO of there was once, a long time ago, in an article about one of the royals, Kaiser was discussing a recently published book (which I had read and found to be fair, FWIW). She admitted to not having read the book, then went on to trash it and the author. I commented — very politely — that she might want to read it before writing about it and my comment was immediately deleted. I mean, COME ON. That’s pretty basic!

Anonymous asked: Part 2) How can she write about that reality TV family with a straight face and then turn around and bash people who have never done anything close to the crap they have pulled. They aren't that much better than Trump and in fact have associated themselves with him. I thought she hated Trump. She is a huge phony with a disturbed mind. Reading the comments on this Tumblr sealed the deal for me. I don't want to contribute to or support a blog that mistreats people and is full of hypocrisy. Bye CB.
Exactly. One can’t go much lower than making excuses for Kardashians. But then they turn around and rip to shreds women like Kate Middleton, Taylor Swift and Amal Cloonie.
Taylor Swift actually had the strength to go through an ordeal of standing up to the guy who groped her! For that alone she should have a free pass with feminists. She made a stand for all the women out there. But Kim Kardashian, who makes money on objectification of women gets better treatment than Taylor.

Anonymous asked: I am now officially embarrassed that I was ever a long timer at CB. Part 1) The Angie and Brad posts have taken on a new level of toxic insanity. She claims to be concerned for the JP kids but then writes unsubstantiated vitriol smearing their father. He was cleared by the FBI but she knows more? I am no fan of his but they go too far. They went too far with Jen and now they do it with him. She lets the stans attack fair people who aren't fans of other party when they try to post or she deletes

Anonymous asked: I am so glad I found this site!! I haven’t been banned but have cut way back on how often I go on CB and am trying to get out of the habit completely. Kaiser is INSANE and it’s not fun anymore. (First time on Tumblr so not sure if I’m doing this right...) I’ve found my people here!
You are doing it right. ))) Welcome.
