Whilst I don’t mind differing opinions, I cannot bear the way that some people phrase their liking for Meghan. Some almost attack the topic as though they have a sense of moral high ground because they like her. They cite that Meghan had bad press because there was resistance for a more racially diverse Royal Family. I disagree, she was presented negatively because her actions were indecent and unbecoming. Her race has nothing to do with that. I hate having to argue with SJW type individuals who are not able to rationalise her actions and the situation. Criticism is fair where it is due and Meghan was doing all that she could not to follow protocol. I shouldn’t have to tell people that I am for diversity, multiculturalism, equality and a fan of Beyoncé, Ciara, Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell and Serena Williams (to list a few) in the same breath as saying that I do not like Meghan. Some elements of the media are seeking to conflate these issues where there isn’t a link or a need. It is obviously important to insert here that you can be in agreement with what I have just said without being an online SJW troll!
I feel that Emily Giffin is now having these same trolls come after her. People are allowed to have an opinion on that video, positive or negative. Meghan appeared to make herself the star of it and Archie as I mentioned previously was not very interested in being there. She was hoping to use the video as an acting reel for her voiceover work, in my opinion. Nothing that Emily said was out of line and to me, if you are a celebrity, as Meghan is now choosing at this point to be, the media and general public are entitled to write and say whatever they like about you. Within reason, obviously. I would hope that people would apologise if they said something sexist or racist towards her, but that is not the case here. Emily is falling victim to cancel culture, whereby people are forced to apologise when it isn’t sincere for fear of being shamed online.
Coming back to this thread, Tattle and differing opinions, as long as people aren’t absolutely vitriolic and patronising with how they phrase their opinions, I don’t mind. The unfortunate problem here is that because larger social issues have been weaved into the narrative surrounding Harry and Meghan, people are not always rational in the first instance with how they approach the discussion.
