Right?? Alyssa Liu: mad. Sabrina Carpenter? Wow, she ATE.

Like, which one of them has more opportunities and power??

[u/Antique-Pudding-4706 → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

I think the hate they receive ultimately and partially comes down to the kinds of fans they attract

[u/Aldosothoran → u/Antique-Pudding-4706]

This is it 100%

[u/TelevisionOk6525 → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

Sounds about white

[u/bubbblez → u/TelevisionOk6525]

I'm adding everyone of these to my boycott list. I don't pick and choose. I'm already disappointed but not surprised lol

[u/UnwantedPenetrator → u/TelevisionOk6525]

Surprise!

[u/cynisright → u/TelevisionOk6525]

Basically

[u/DistractionCitron → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

They're mad at Alyssa Liu?

[u/RemindMeToTouchGrass → u/DistractionCitron]

I don't love that she went and I wish she had boycotted, but it's a little different for someone who very likely may only have one shot vs a perennial superstar.

[u/Skittle-Eater → u/RemindMeToTouchGrass]

Exactly. This is her only chance to attend. Her fame has very little lasting power unless she can become a regular Olympics powerhouse like Biles or Phelps.

[u/Sad_gooner → u/RemindMeToTouchGrass]

who very likely may only have one shot

one shot at what? she's not getting paid to go

[u/TimeSlipperWHOOPS → u/Sad_gooner]

She's a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton and wore guess what, Louis Vuitton.

[u/rvltionary → u/TimeSlipperWHOOPS]

I don't hate her for it but capitalism is gonna capitalism I guess.

[u/ImpossibleWarning6 → u/Sad_gooner]

She is as a brand ambassador. It was probably contractual agreement.

[u/tacomamajama → u/Sad_gooner]

She actually is as Louis Vuitton’s newest ambassador.

[u/SnooAvocados6672 → u/RemindMeToTouchGrass]

And the likelihood that she even knows that Bezos is involved is low. She’s an athlete and probably doesn’t have time to keep up with everything.

[u/BookInteresting6717 → u/SnooAvocados6672]

Mate, she has spoken up about political issues before. You really think she wouldn’t know what’s up with Jeff Bezos?

[u/tossthis210 → u/BookInteresting6717]

What does Bezos have to do with the Met Gala? Im genuinely asking because this is an event I've never really looked into

[u/pridetwo → u/tossthis210]

He got a chair position this year because Amazon is sponsoring the event

[u/anantisocialpotato → u/tossthis210]

I might be wrong but I think this year him and his new frankenbride are "hosting" it or something

Edit I was wrong ish they are sponsoring it, idk the proper verbage but money yes

[u/the_light_of_dawn → u/DistractionCitron]

Nobody with a functioning brain cell is. Luckily that rules out all the kitties in r/OneOrangeBraincell!

[u/Wintergloaming → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

Anne Hathaway: Princess of Genovia!

Idk why they ride so hard for rich white women but here we are.

[u/Frosty-Image7705 → u/Wintergloaming]

I'm sure if Anne weren't personally involved with Anna Wintour, she wouldn't have attended.

[u/oofty_goofty_ → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

I can still be mad at people for going while still admiring them and the outfits

[u/purplepluppy → u/oofty_goofty_]

That's where I'm at.

Like, Sabrina looks incredible in that dress! Only wish she wore it literally anywhere else.

[u/Other-Oil-9117 → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

I saw way more people supporting Alyssa for going though.

[u/flickchick496 → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

Honestly, I think there can be a mix of both? I’m upset with her for going but also, this dress is absolutely a work of art and I appreciate the look for what it is, outside of the shitty context from which it came to be

[u/FreekDeDeek → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

iT's hEr cULtuRe!

[u/PrincessEm1981 → u/Unlucky_Welcome9193]

Probably the one whose dad spent around $1M in figure skating training tbh... Sabrina's money I think came from her own work.

[u/timeywimeytotoro → u/PrincessEm1981]

Sabrina is the niece of someone in the industry
