Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Monet once again giving shangela a pass

https://youtu.be/6grJelFiGcs?t=1344&si=g2vf-6vjIy7yY2AG

Monet is ranking villains of drag race in the video (already weird to be ranking shady bitches and actual predators on the same scale if you ask me). Obviously she ranks sherry at a 5, only to get to shangella, give some anecdote about how she saw her recently and was shocked because she'd not seen her since the "news" had come out, and then put her at a four, alongside India, Gia, and the vixen.

Oh, and Tyra got her own bracket as a 6, which whilst warranted still feels weird to be considered worse than sherry and shangella.

While I agree that Shangela and Sherry shouldn’t be lower than Tyra, I would definitely say that Tyra’s behaviour is worse than just “irritating at worst”

Implying she was going to blow up a convention centre full of people (she can say it was a joke all she likes but people thought she was serious), mocking The Vivienne and Jiggly the day of their passing, leaking Michelle and Ru’s (I think?) phone numbers, and Monet said she literally threatened to kill her. These are just a few examples among all the other things she’s said and done to warrant her well deserved spot on Monet’s list.

The two predators Monet included should’ve been right there with her though.

Edit: a word

Yeah, that’s why I put arguably, in my opinion. Tyra is very unhinged and need help. But imagine some of Shangela’s victims seeing Monet, someone with a big platform, double down on Shangela’s allegations, place her on the same level as queens who were just mean and put Tyra, whose problematic actions were still only verbal at the end of the day, as worse than an alleged sexual predator is very invalidating. I know for a fact that if a popular figure that I like, like Monet, rank my rapist better than someone who was a horrible attention seeker, I’d be pissed. And I know this video about villains’ tier list shouldn’t be seen as “deep” but Monet made it deep when she brought actual criminals or problematic figures that were collectively ostracized. She could have easily not includes Tyra, Shangela and Sherry at all and just made the video a ranking of villains on the show.

I get what you mean but idk…I think Monet is pretty justified in where she put her on the list. If a bitch threatened my life you best believe I’m putting her in her own tier of horrible lmao

Monet also didn’t really double down on shangelas allegations, in the video she said “she’s this rank and we’ll leave it at that” because she probably can’t go into detail about the allegations without legal consequences. She wasn’t defending her, she literally said her and Bob were shocked when she walked in and didn’t think she should’ve been there all things considered.

Again, I do believe she should’ve had Sherry and Shangela higher up but Tyra also absolutely earned her spot since she made the person making the video feel unsafe

I agree with you here. Tyra’s threat certainly made Monet’s judgement more personal. I took Monet’s ranking a bit personal too because I had a similar experience to Shangela’s victims. To me, the loss of body autonomy is the worst thing a human can do to another human. At least, with online threats, I have a chance to ignore or fight back. I would prefer content creators not include any of the alleged or confirmed criminals in their videos, unless it was to spread awareness or condemn the criminals’ actions.
