That because they were legitimately concerned she was having a seizure.😂😂😂

u/Farren246 15d ago edited 15d ago

You can see the standing woman switch to "Ugh" pose and two men exchange some words right before it cuts off. I like to imagine it was "you seeing this?"

Guy on the right in the suit is more concerned with his phone than watching the performance, and (my favourite) the person beside him is facepalming through the entire clip.

u/ovenmittuns 15d ago

Don't forget...the proceeds from that play's ticket sales were to be donated to a womens' shelter. Raygun is more concerned about people having a laugh than she is about helping women in need

nice! im glad the girl who made the play is actually able to do it! wish i could watch the play myself lol,raygun is as dumb as rocks

u/Sugarbombs 16d ago

I don’t know why people keep saying she did it for a free trip, her family is wealthy she could have got her own tickets. She has some sort of teaching degree related to dance and she regularly competed and was involved in the breakdancing scene long before it was introduced to the olympics. She clearly does have a love for the hobby but had obviously taken some liberties with the fundamentals. Yeah she was bad but at least she was funny and memorable. No one knows who even won that event. The only interesting thing that happened that whole olympics

u/bubba_bumble 15d ago

Yep! She actually did more good for the sport than most people realize. Now, people feel encouraged to try the sport, knowing the bar to entry is so attainable.

u/Paperairplanes420 15d ago

The other controversy was Christians losing their shit over a depiction of the Feast of Dionysus. They thought it was a mockery of the last supper because they’re clueless about the rest of the world and they think everything is about them.

Obviously. I was making a joke. I really do hope she is doing well.

u/timbutnottebow 16d ago

I mean she could have embraced it, gone on talk shows, re-did the dance, etc. she didn’t. She was unapologetic and went into hiding. If she just rolled with it she wouldn’t be getting the hate she did

Right? Who would humiliate not only themselves but become a blight to their entire country, all for a free vacation? And that’s even if you’re ok with the moral implications of taking that spot away from a real contender who maybe worked years to get actually good at break dancing.

She was definitely serious. She doubled/tripled down on her performance.

u/Inventies 16d ago

Oh no she thinks she was spectacular. I can’t remember when I saw but there was an interview where she was defending her routine by saying it was experimental and she wasn’t trying to play it safe.

I mean it cost her dignity, but can’t say it’s not a price I’d pay. Lol

u/Mabel_Waddles_BFF 16d ago

Nah, I think she did it because it would give her material for her academic career. I doubt she thought it’d blow up as much as it did but academic who writes about gender barriers and goes to the Olympics is decent fodder for a couple of publications.

2

u/Dunderman35 15d ago

Lol no she didn't. Why would she also get a PhD in breakdancing then?. Also her family is rich, a trip to France is nothing.

4

u/mouse9001 16d ago

I still can't believe how she was raked over the coals.

That performance is just hilarious. It's okay to just laugh and appreciate the moment.

4

u/Chewcocca 16d ago edited 16d ago

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I saw an Internet (mostly*) willing to laugh and enjoy the moment

And then I saw her get mad that people weren't taking her seriously enough so everyone doubled down.

Unless something serious happened that I didn't hear about, the only actual result was that people thought her dance was funny.

No one in the universe would even recognize her without a green boiler suit on.

I think she'll be alright. (Unless she chooses to obsess over it. Which does seem like a possibility. But not something anyone else can really control.)

​

*There will always be some haters. That's an inevitable result of interacting with such a huge portion of the population.

3

u/Aurori_Swe 16d ago

Because she made a mockery of the sport/skill. It was breakdancings first Olympic and it was their big moment to show they are serious, only to have someone not being serious stealing all the limelight.

3

u/MerkinMites 15d ago

She looks like a high school PE teacher introducing some sort of sport that she's only learnt about from a text book.. a very dated textbook. Her performance is so bad that it's hypnotising. I can't look away.

3

u/Substantial-Stage-82 15d ago

My initial thought was, if that woman isnt special needs, why is she doing that? Is this her attempt at humor? Taxpayers in Australia paid for THIS?

3

u/dewpacs 15d ago

she figured out the rules of the game better than most and can forever claim to be an Olympian. Coupled with her PhD, I'd say she's fairly accomplished for a 30 something

9

u/middiescoach11 16d ago

Say what you will…..she’s a student and proponent of breakdancing and her goal was to advance and popularize the sport.

A normal performance at what would likely be breakdancing’s only shot at Olympics would have been swept under the rug.

Name one other well-known breakdancer other than Raygun. It will likely go down as the most watched breakdancing performance ever in history.

14

u/unsuspectingllama_ 16d ago

Hey, I wish the best for her. But honestly, it's debatable if she did good or harm for the sport.

2

u/Jeepersca 15d ago

I think she was responsible for making it the first year and the very last year it was an Olympic sport unfortunately. There are a lot of incredible break dancers with amazing physicality and they won’t get a shot because of her which sucks.

u/socksmatterTWO 15d ago

They were in a very lucky position as it was classified under the ballroom dancing banner of Australia and there was no proper stand alone committee and her husband and her GOT 25 MILLION in grants for that " performance" and to go to the Olympics. Because she knew the president of the ballroom association committee or whatever its called she was able to bypass any of the actual breakdancers, there was no association for this and this is why it will only happen once.

It was corrupt from the get go. I don't live in Australia any more but my crikey I Would like to fix her smugness

Ungraceful in her character and an absolute joke of a break dancer

At first a lot of Australia felt something like that. But since she got back she's made a dickhead out of herself suing a small comedy show that was using her likeness (with the profits going to a woman's domestic violence shelter) that we've mostly turned against her. Raygun can fuck off.
