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.

I visited CB today and I read the post about Maureen O’Hara. I was reading the glowing comments about her and I was nodding along. What a beautiful woman, inside and out.
Then I went to Joe Alwyn’s post and saw the same people going on about how they don’t think he is good looking. Really, it is like being with the high school kids. Everybody tries to show their disdain for the cool girl’s boyfriend. And failing badly. Just how many times do you have to say that some guy you know nothing about doesn’t look appealing to you? And why?
This dichotomy is just weird. How can you be a normal person one minute and then completely irrational and immature just minutes later?
There was one sane person who said this was similar to bullying. And , of course, the regulars immediately jumped in with their “this is a gossip site” schtick.

Anonymous asked: Sixer and LightPurple (formerly LilacFlowers, who was banned and changed names) drove me to leave CB. I wasn’t banned, I just can’t stand how obnoxious they are and they pop into too many threads to “snark” but just come off like assholes. And yes, Kaiser is a classic white feminist. She completely disregarded the upset over Sebastian Stan’s “take the knee” debacle, which definitely rightfully offended some posters there. And you cannot mention Lainey for some reason.
I can’t stand either one as well. Both are obnoxious hypocrites. LilacFlowers got banned because she went against the party line on CB and criticized Kanye for his unathorized video with naked Taylor and other women. The rest of CB, with Kaiser in the lead, were all busy attacking “snake” Taylor and defending “poor” Kanye West from her. Some feminists they are …
Anyway, so instead of standing her ground LilacFlowers changed her name and came back as if nothing happened.
Sixer was making all kinds of excuses for Georgina when Weinstein scandal broke but she doesn’t have a problem ripping into Kate Middleton, who is absolutely harmless.

Anonymous asked: This is old news but I want share a story about when I had my comments deleted on some CB post about Ryan Lochte being an a-hole in Rio. Kaiser was basically defending Ryan and trying to diminish brazilian authorities at all costs. Even after he was proven wrong. So when someone tries to bring a new light into the subjects that are sensitive to the CB team (How dare a 3rd world country make our beloved-but-not-so-bright child look so bad for the whole world to see?), you know what happens.
I noticed myself that Kaiser and the general readership are not at all receptive to non-US-centric views. That tells me that Kaiser is not that well read or well traveled. regardless of what she claims. Her views are very narrow.

I remember prior to Depp and Heard breaking up, Kaiser portrayed her as a fame whore who loved pap walks and Deep was painted as this guy who put up with it. Not to mention Matt Damon was constantly painted as a good guy because of how he gave interviews? Please he has to be one of the worst in Hollywood, Kaiser is naive and readers should not accept all the view points presented. Kaiser knows little to nothing about the celebrities being talked about, the only accuracy is perhaps Trump’s coverage I’ll give them that much.

Anonymous asked: Did you see the latest article on Kate? It’s very petty and childish, especially the “game” she proposes at the end
No, I didn’t. I usually don’t read Kate Middleton or Angelina articles, they are just too much for me. I took a peak at one a few weeks back and Kaiser made it sound like Kate got pregnant just so that she can upstage Meghan Markle or something like that.
I read one about Taylor Swift yesterday and it was fun watching the usual haters trying to reconcile their feelings for her and the fact that they liked the song.
The one comment claiming that Alwyn is not that good looking made me snort. I get it that tastes are different , but Alwyn is very handsome. He and Taylor also look very similar, which makes me think that he is one for her. People often fall for those who look like them.

Anonymous asked: I noticed earlier today on the Hugh Hefner article that some people commented about why was the site still linking to popaholic? Some other posters said something about how the site was heavily moderated and called out Kaiser. Those comments have since been deleted.
I bet the answer is money. CB gets money for the links. In the end, despite all the claims of being progressive and what is not, CB is a business. It is there to make its owners money. This is the reason they post about Trump 5 times a day - clicks, which turn into money, and this is the reason for advertising and links.
