I'm.more shocked that's the first time you've seen itWhat in the offensive cultural appropriation is that nonsense? My god that was uncomfortable watching.

She.. Is ..A.. NutLlama in her undies
I watched the BTS making of that bizarre llama drama and she confirms it’s American Sign Language and tries to give a reason why but basically all I could gather was that using the sign language of another country just fit in with her whole Native American/Aztec/Inca cultural appropriation vibes. Llamas and the headpieces and the repetition of “tribe” was so yuck and now learning that performative bullshit was also offensive to the deaf community? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT HAVE FRIENDS. Nobody around to say “oi mate, this whole thing is a bit fucken cooked, don’t ya reckon?!”I've just watched that video and before I say anything else I'll mention that I'm Deaf (total loss of hearing in both ears). I have grown up oral (speaking English as my first language), but I am also fluent in Auslan.
That was not Auslan. Oh boy. I have no idea what that tit-show was. The subtitles didn't match up at all to what she was signing - at least, to any Auslan signs. I have so much I could say about how offended I am that she's taken sign language and made a mockery of it by pretending to be 'inclusive', when she hasn't done her due diligence and researched/learned/consulted with Deaf people.
If she's trying to market to an audience of Deaf people - I'm sorry, but none of them are going to understand her. She wants to appear woke and educated but she's made a total fool of herself.
(It's probably ASL or something [American Sign Language] because that's used fairly often for rip-off videos and skits but I wouldn't know since, you know, I learn and use the language that will allow me to communicate in Australia, where I live.)
The Ice pipe is the guy who started Grill'd and was filmed smoking ice and it was released to the media a couple of years ago! Bainbridge.Thank you will look for it.
Bloody hell, EXACTLY. I'd almost tell a stranger on the street this is all a bit fucked up, let alone a mate. I cannot EVEN. It's so bad, it's good. I almost feel trolled.THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT HAVE FRIENDS. Nobody around to say “oi mate, this whole thing is a bit fucken cooked, don’t ya reckon?!”
Didn’t she donate her over priced face shields (when she couldn’t sell them) to a deaf school? So generous and kind.Has Lounatic done anything since for The Deaf Community?! Or just this performative bullshit yet again?! Just like her last week for The Pride March that she was paid to attend.
She is an absolute pig.
Thank you for my new avatar! One of my favs!Llama in her undies
She needs to have that printed out and stuck to her fridge door to see every day.“oi mate, this whole thing is a bit fucken cooked, don’t ya reckon?!”
This was my favourite part too!"Llamas represent the quietness of the mind" this has made my day, honestly. It's so many levels of inappropriate, culturally appropriated hilarity.
But she is her own tribe and her own family. She doesn't need others.This was my favourite part too!
How does one make that sort of connection?!
Llamas represent the quietness of the mind and they travel in a herd. Except Emmylou doesn't have a herd, she's driven away ALove, her kids are growing to despise her and she has no friends.
Maybe a solitary animal like a moose would have been more fitting.
Thank you for sharing this perspective and your lived experience @notspon. I’m sure there are many people, like yourself, who would happily sit down with any of these idiot influencers BEFORE they try to exploit minority groups for clout, or post their sponsored performative activism, and guide them appropriately. Imagine the power and change that could come from influencers collaborating with leaders of charity organisations, the less privileged, and members of the disability community? Instead, it’s all bajamas, photo albums and naked-lady-shaped champagne flutes for profit…I've just watched that video and before I say anything else I'll mention that I'm Deaf (total loss of hearing in both ears).

But she made a beautiful friendship with a Texan after she reached out to the deaf community for help, so it can't be wrong honestly, can this woman do anything right?! She really has no clueThank you for sharing this perspective and your lived experience @notspon.
