She did it for a free trip to France. Troll no, dumb yes

Dumb like a fox. She got a free trip to France and made people dress up like her for Halloween.

u/AncientCanary1615 15d ago

even worse, she supposely threatens to sue people who use "her move" the kangaroo hop shit she did lol, also someone tried to make a parody play off her and she threatened to sue them

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

u/AncientCanary1615 15d ago

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

15

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.

Except that Breaking has been cut from the Olympics now

1

u/Ilmirshan 15d ago

Each host country gets to have a few temporary events, it was never cut as it wasn't considered for permanent at the time.

1

u/unoriginalsin 15d ago

Honestly, it doesn't belong there.

2

u/ForbiddenButtStuff 14d ago

Why not? It's a highly physical activity that requires skill and experience. It's not much different from solo synchronized swimming or the gymnastics floor exercise.

1

u/unoriginalsin 14d ago

There's lots of highly physical activities that don't belong. Regardless of skill requirement. I just don't think breakdancing fits in the Olympic spirit.

Even the sports you mention in comparison already stretch the definition of a sport. What's next? Ballroom dancing? 1v1 needlepoint?

It's just my opinion, and I won't argue any further as it's not a really passionate one. I'm actually fine with the Olympics including many "sports" that I feel don't "belong". And I think many people feel the same way about sports I'd like to see get in.

u/Slappy-_-Boy 15d ago

Wait, what's the other controversy that happened?

10

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.

You’re so right, it’s very depressing that a literal child predator got less shit than a woman who danced funny. If you search that guys name all that comes up is really sympathetic articles about how hard it was for him and how much of a strong hero he was to push through, it’s sickening

u/NeverDoneClapping 16d ago

Getting death threats from your own countrymen on the reg would probably make you hate yourself even more though

u/unsuspectingllama_ 16d ago

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

7

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.

Are you kidding me. None of them were good and it’s being dropped from the Olympics rightful so!

u/FR0ZENBERG 16d ago

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

19

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.

10

u/Charming-but-clumsy 16d ago

she actually thinks she's good. she 'qualified' bcs she participated in some sort of break dance championship for asia and oceania , surprisingly she won, thats how she got to the Olympic Games

1

u/TheRealPitabred 16d ago

She won because her friends were the judges IIRC. It was rotten all the way down, Australia has some actually good dancers.

2

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.

3

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.

5

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.

2

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.

0

u/Remarkable_Mix4045 15d ago

I didn't understand what everyone was going on about.. I thought break dancing was part of the special Olympics, and now I realize it is an actual sport. I think throwing a Frisbee is more a sport than that,or is it also an entry?

1

u/Aurori_Swe 15d ago

Olympics often includes a set of "lesser known sports" to bring attention and showcase variety, so it's often fringe sports like skateboarding and stuff that's not normally included in the big sports. This time it was breakdance that got the honor, so it's a big deal, and to then have someone spit on that honor is understandably infuriating to people in the scene.

u/SwanEuphoric1319 16d ago

The whole fiasco makes sense if you assume she was a delusional narcissist.

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

11

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.

11

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.

3

u/kkeut 16d ago

she takes herself very seriously, she's become a meme in australia for her lack of grace and good humor and for suing some comedians for making a musical inspired by her

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
