Anonymous asked: Did you see the comments on the Apu (Simpsons) thread? That was a dumpster fire of racism. I was surprised that Kaiser didn't handle that story, but it might have hit close to home for her. I can respect that, actually. Also, I've noticed after a lot of us have been banned or had comments deleted for being critical of popoholic, the site has quietly stopped linking to them. So that's a good thing!
I am glad to hear that at least something good came out of it. I checked the popoholic site once because somebody asked me about it, and I never went back.
I remember a similar thing with the “knocked up” expression Kaiser used to love. I took an exception to it because I think this expression is disrespectful of women. It sounds like getting pregnant is not something a woman chooses to do, but she just gets pregnant because she doesn’t know where babies come from.
I was put into moderation for saying it. But I kept saying it. Finally, a few months later one of the regulars made the same point and finally it got through to Kaiser and she stopped saying “knocked up”.

Anonymous asked: The Time POTY post comments are, as expected, a total disaster. People twisting themselves in a knot trying to be simultaneously woke and feminist, while also saying how Taylor Swift isn't a real victim (or at least not deserving of recognition) because she just sued that DJ for her own reasons or something equally insane.
I just read it … As much as I could take that is. By the time I got to Taylor’s “problematic feminism” I was DONE.
I simply don’t believe it is her feminism they have an issue with, I think they don’t like her and that is that. She cannot do anything right in their eyes.

My friend who reads CB & Loved it, just told me that an few months back she got banned on an RBF post.
She was first put in moderation for the first time after agreeing with someone standing up for Kate, then she was put on moderation again and her comment was deleted in an JenAnniston post.
Finally, she was banned outright. She said she wrote CB an email 2 days in a row and got no response. Then the next RBF post she said that Kaiser made references to her email in the actual article.Mocking her.
No surpise that my friend was an black regular on CB. They seem to have no issue just disgarding us.

Oh, that is the worst when Kaiser uses insider information to mock people over very real issues they bring up. This is hitting below the belt. When people send private messages they expect their privacy to be respected.
I remember her doing it last year during Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West drama. She made references to some people sending emails and dismissed anyone who was defending Swift as her fangirls, while she was making excuses for Kanye. But the thing people took issue with was Kanye’s misogyny. and it had nothing to do with being a fan of Taylor.

300 comments discussing Meghan Markle’s coat - too long, too short, not tailored enough or whatever. Who cares? Even for a gossip site this is too much. Is that all there is to Meghan? Her coat and her hair? She is going to be just another person to take apart - her clothes, her hair, her looks.
How does this compute in people’s heads? First, they are excited about a bi-racial American entering the Royal family and then they basically reduce her to a cloth hanger. She is starting to get the same treatment as Kate. I think it is not Kate who is the issue here,or Meghan or any other woman with whom CB posters take an issue, it is the posters. They are unable to see a person as a person. Everyone is dehumanized and dissected.
Personally, I think it is such a dull, fake life - forever smiling, shaking hands, being judged, being an ornament or a token at endless ribbon-cutting ceremonies. I would never want that life for myself. I’d run away screaming after 15 min of that. And I feel a bit sorry for both Kate and Meghan.

I have a couple things on my mind today in light of the Lauer’s debacle.
First, his co-hosts were crying about it and then I saw an article in the Guardian about how we have to reconcile horrible actions by a well loved man. And I thought - give me a f*ing break! I don’t need to reconcile anything. The guy is a dirtbag and that is that. The fact that he worked for an organization you approve of doesn’t make him more palatable. In fact, the said organization (NBC) clearly enabled him, because there were enough warning signs.
In connection to this I came across the Lauer’s interview with Anne Hathway from 2012 where he pestered her about inappropriate photos of her taken by paps and he was clearly set to humiliate and diminish her. How was that ever considered to be an acceptable behavior by an interviewer?
Anne handled it like a professional that she is, and kudos to Anne. Yes, kudos to Anne, who Kaiser also tried to diminish so many times. And you know what, Anne comes out of this looking like a queen. And all her critics look petty and immature.

If anyone is interested in gossiping about the site or just gossip in general about the topics on CB, without it getting modded out, I think it’d be really cool if all the ex readers could come to GossipBucket and comment under the stories where they can’t be deleted or modded out.
here’s an link for an example, http://gossipbucket.com/celebitchy/1247644/duchess-kate-stepped-out-for-a-keen-visit-to-a-london-school-this-morning/

Joining your club
So I’ve been banned from Celebitchy several times over the years, sometimes I know why. This time I’m pissed at the hypocrisy. On a post the other day about the Marvel covers for Vanity fair, by Kaiser. She goes off on how Marvel has disregarded black women and are sexist for not giving Black Widow her own movie. Then at the end she figuratively throws the whole MCU at bottom dwelling basement livers by saying ‘the fanboys will be happy with the covers’.
So I agree with a poster who is an adult woman and likes those movies that I don’t understand why fans of a huge franchise get reduced to fanboys when you know we are not, moreover how can you care if black women are disregarded and if Black widow gets her own movie if it’s a sexist vehicle for more racism and sexism? Banned. Open discussion is all I would like, I don’t mind being on the wrong side but let each side have their piece. Thanks for the space to rant, just found you:)

Marvel just spent gazillion dollars to make The Black Panther, which was a huge risk. And Scott Derrickson was one of the first Hollywood people who came out against Harvey Weinstein. In the world of the Hollywood Marvel is not a problem, they are at least trying. But Marvel is a huge business and they have to make sure their projects are profitable. If The Black Panther does well then they will invest more money into movies with POC leads. So go out and spend the dough. It is all in your hands. -))

Anonymous asked: Kaiser is really a pill. I think I just became a super fan of both Jenny Slate and Chris Evans and am now rooting for them to be together and maybe get married when before I was just indifferent towards them and their relationship just because of her biases against them. Who went and made her Cupid? Lady find your own man and maybe then you won’t be such a Bitter (Hateful) Betty. Tried to say I really don’t mind them together, if they’re happy good for them. Now on moderation. Maybe banned too.
Jenny is a bit extra, but she is very likeable. If the girl is in love, why not wish her the best? Why make fun of her? I don’t get it.
I am rooting for her -)).

Anonymous asked: Ok apparently I was just banned today. Seriously, I found your site a few weeks ago & thought "well surely they did something to get banned." Uhh I was wrong. I commented today in a ridiculous over the top hatred post of Taylor Swift & now I'm banned. I responded to a commenter that said they didn't get how the site was saying the reviews for Taylor's new album were mixed. I literally responded in one sentence in my comment "This site doesn't like her so there's the bias." Now I'm banned. Wtf?
You are not allowed to disagree on CB. It might go unnoticed a couple of times, but if you do that on topics close to the Kaiser’s heart like Taylor Swift, Kanye, Angelina or racial issues, you will be banned at the first “offense”. And, of course, you are never allowed to criticize Kaiser or the site.
I take it Kaiser truly believes that her opinion of Taylor Swift is unbiased -)). And all those millions of people buying her music are doing it because of reasons …, not because they like her music.

Anonymous asked: I sent in something to you a couple of months ago about being banned for making a somewhat critical comment of "Saint Angie" (despite following their stated rules). The whole Weinstein had me gravitating back towards Celebitchy as, for all its problems, it's a mostly safe place to be angry about the sex scandals without a bunch of sexist trolls. So I commented on a post today, and apparently I'm still banned. As for Lainey: I've always assumed the hatred is due to jealousy.
They won’t un-ban you just because you changed your mind about them. I think it takes about 6 month for the ban list to refresh. You’ll probably be able to post again after a few months.
The coverage of Weinstein and Spacey is good, but it doesn’t mean Celebitchy changed. it is still the same toxic place outside of those topics.
Lainey is definitely better at gossip. But I don’t read her site because it doesn’t allow comments.I am not interested in one-way conversations.
