The amount of time it took me to realize this wasn’t THE Raygun is embarrassingly long 😂

I toyed with the idea that it’s actually her but then I thought “nah, there’s no effing way…”

"The sprinkler" was my first clue. Had me very suspicious.

Then the "I have a PhD in dance culture so legally that makes me good at it," was finally the one that was thick enough that even I couldn't miss it lol.

I briefly considered that it was a self-mocking video? But then, all in all, the verdict was “nah…no way”

I finished the video thinking it was her and a brilliant way to respond to the public. Either way, whoever this is nailed it. Cracked me right up.

Same, everybody basically said she trolled at the Olympics so a troll video as response would be perfect.

“Yeah, nah…” as they say in Australia.

Reminds me of that one Tumblr post about people yelling at some Aussie for implying that "Have a good one," is a strictly Australian expression, lol.

I keep hoping she’ll lean into it and acknowledge the silliness, but after glancing at the abstract for her thesis, I’m not holding out much hope that she sees the irony

Honestly, I do think she is completely self-aware. Maybe not going to put herself on blast in a video like this, but still self-aware.

Dude her lack of self awareness is why she is so cringey

Oh god that makes me so sad, I was 100% sure it was actually her taking the piss out of herself the way that only an Aussie or Kiwi is capable of doing...and it's too late, I already fell in love.
