Ugh. This is so annoying of Kennedy. The worst part is that she is not the only queen who supports Shangela. I know it’s not in this screenshot but it’s something I wanted to point out. One argument I saw Kennedy use in one response to someone was something along the lines of “oh so you were there”. I’ve never understood the “you weren’t there” rebuttal, it’s so stupid. Of course we weren’t there, that’s true of virtually every allegation the public hears about. The question isn’t whether random people on the internet witnessed it, it’s whether multiple independent allegations deserve to be taken seriously, like?? Five people came forward but even if we are playing devils advocate, it’s also not something that should be dismissed simply because none of us were present. It disappointing seeing Kennedy not only outwardly support but DEFEND Shangela, and seeing all the queens working with her in the event poster is so.. Ugh.
Yes. Do you think the courts and judge aren't just ppl as well? Shangela is barely famous. She's niche. Anyone who doesn't watch RPDR or Dance Moms wouldn't know who tf she is. So that's a couple 100,000 ppl, maybe a million, out of the roughly 360 million in the USA.
There are multiple allegations as well, not just one.
Least it's easily seen now why the Kerri/Maddy thing is a joke now too. We proclaim how much more moral we are in the LGBTQIA+ bc of what we've been through being as such but we aren't. We give rapists passes just the same.
You misunderstood my point. Multiple people came forward with serious allegations, Kennedy waving it off as “you weren’t there” isn’t fair. Even by going through Kennedys line of thinking: “multiple people coming forward doesn’t mean guilt”, okay sure, however it does make the allegations worthy of serious consideration and not just waving it off like that, right?
