Has she expressed her anger at the film The Whale that's being made yet?
I don't find the concept at all offensive, it is shining a light on extreme obesity and how people get in such a state because of poor mental health and addiction. Just like any other film about substance abuse and the carnage it can create
Very good point, food when people can’t control it to the extent that it affects their health and yet they still continue, is just as much of an unhealthy crutch as drink, drugs and gambling. And the root cause is the same, regardless of what a persons vice is, it’s the physical manifestation of emotional pain. In that respect I do have a certain amount of pity for Emma.
However
What I find completely unacceptable like so many on here, and why I joined tattle to comment on (in the hopes she reads here and is forced to confront her fuckery and not just delete comments and hide) is her constant, blatant, unashamed DISGRACEFUL caricaturising of black women. I think I can speak on behalf of all black women to say Emma, nothing, NOTHING gives you the right to use the words, gestures, intonations that our ancestors developed during hundreds of years of painful history, that your ancestors didn’t suffer through, this way of speaking doesn’t belong to you. As black people we inherited it, it’s part of our history. Yes you may find it cool and trendy but you need to just admire it from afar, not adopt it as an act as and when you want to sound more ‘urban’ and cool. Not only is it highly embarrassing for yourself, more importantly it is highly insulting to black people. We grew up speaking this way, it rubbed off on us from our parents, I repeat it belongs to us and us only. In a generation where everyone is so ‘woke’ and aware of cultural appropriation how do you possibly feel it’s ok for you to do this? I’m so sick to the teeth of it, and sick of the erasure of black people from trends and genres WE created, largely through them being hijacked by non black people. Emma is a case in point.
It hurts. She needs to stop. And at this point it has gone on for too long, just stopping isn’t enough, she needs to address what she’s been doing, explain why it’s wrong and use her platform to spread awareness of black appropriation. Her posting a measly tokenistic black square or black owned business list every time one of us gets killed is insulting at this point.
Ok that was long but I needed to vent on this girl
And I didn’t even get to mention her girl Sammy
