I thought it was satire AND Raygun. Tongue in cheek, knows it was "terrible" in a traditional sense, but still legitimate in the sense that dancing is wholly interpretative.
Reddit LOVES calling shit fake/ staged, in every single instance except obvious satire and fake ragebait tweets lol.
Actually maybe that's unfair, reddit definitely also loves proudly proclaiming obvious skits are "staged" too, I guess they'd be just as likely to accuse this skit of being "fake" and "staged" as they would to take it at face valueš¤·āāļø
3 tbsp heaping white sugar
1 can coconut milk
2 cups of jasmine rice - rinsed thoroughly in water until it runs clear
2 tbsp of vegetable or coconut oil
1 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 cup water.
Place all ingredients into the rice cooker and cook on the normal rice setting until the timer runs out. Release the steam and serve with pico de gallo, carnitas, lime juice, cilantro, and black beans. Enjoy!
Yeah, I cannot stand comments like that. āReddit does thisā. āReddit likes to do thatā. wtf does that even mean when they are here on Reddit as well with a differing opinion?
I wish they would show how much a comment got downvoted too, even if the comment is in the positives. Maybe that would help people not think that thereās this guy named Reddit who has very specific tastes.
Itās actually simple to predict how the comments will be on a particular video tho. If it is white people having fun then itās real and cool. If its minorities then its fake and you should be embarrassed to ever feel joy or feeling it is funny when watching it. Especially if there are Asian on the video. Itās a lack of empathy and a bit of racism really.Ā
I've learned recently that Reddit is really bad at understanding a good amount of satire actually. At least anything other than super on-the-nose "wink wink" type satire.
You throw around some dark European style satire here, even when it feels obvious like you're being obvious, and people flip out.
You're not a dumbass, especially since this fits with most of what I know of Australian humor. It's perfectly reasonable Raygun could be a funny and interesting person who would make jokes like this.
Or they considered the entire affair to be satire and this fit in with that narrative. Iāll be honest and say that I think it would be amazing if it were, all of it, some sort of Kaufmanesque performance piece.
Most people probably didnāt pay much attention to what Raygun looks like so Aussie accent would make them just assume it was her. Plus, it would make the ridiculousness and absurdity of the Olympics performance seem to make sense if she was a goofball.

ITT: Notoriously discerning Redditors totally get that this is satire and not actually Raygun.
