AnonymousUnited States09/05/26, 03:30No.157594794Now that the dust has settled, was her performance actually that bad?
Her dance was unique and paid homage to Australia's national identity. It wasn't forgetable African American style shucking and jiving typical of the sport.

It was pretty bad by itself, but on a meta level the humiliation it caused the "breakdancing is a sport" community was pretty cool. Ending up being unintentionally good overall

I unironically love raygun for how much shit she stirred for unintentionally shitting on one of the most ridiculous things to be apart of the olympics and i hope breakdancing never recovers

she was robbed i haven't seen the documentary but i assume it must be about how the competition judging was rigged against her i'm not saying she should have won gold but her performance was unique, entertaining, skillful. she deserved to make it a lot further than they let her

Her performance was roughly the same as those times when a bunch of athletes get disqualified, and you wind up with a shot-putter running the 100m. She's the white Eric the Eel. She deserved to be laughed at, but online, hatred from a few hundred people turns into hatred from billions quite quickly, and that was really excessive.There's not a single poster on /sp/ who can breakdance better than Raygun can, and I would bet all my money on that. But it's the Olympics. Even the worst athletes really ought to be better than this. She wasn't even doing it for banter like that American woman who skied for Hungary in the Winter Olympics.

It was so bad, it got "Breaking" dropped from future Olympics. The process of how she even ended up competing exposed the entire "sport" as a joke dilute of talent or interest.

A lot of the Internet reaction to Raygun reminds me of Rebecca Black's Friday, but at least RB didn't actually enter that song in a competition thinking she was top tier. Maybe she will still have a redemption arc in the future like Rebecca Black is doing.

>It was reported that a trademark application for the silhouette of Gunn doing the kangaroo pose was submitted by her legal team on the same day that the show was first promoted with the same image, on 25 September 2024. A trademark application for the name "Raygun" was stalled with an "adverse report" issued by authorities in October 2024>From 2020 until February 2026 Gunn was a full-time lecturer in the department, until she took a "voluntary redundancy". Gunn noted that she "had seen 'the writing on the wall,'" and that "We need to have a serious conversation about higher education" in AustraliaShe's definitely shitposting irl

Australians have a really bad attitude about things and I really hate it. They aren't entitled to never be embarrassed or beyond memes. Maybe its because I am American but I seriously would rather be clowns who can take a joke than people as serious as a funeral who see cringe as some kind of deep trauma.

What happened was that olympics was tanking from the masses being busy with the color revolution and nobody was watching so they just used old fashioned propaganda to shill this breakdancing lady to generate interest. It was the only storyline from the entire olympics and they needed it to try and salvage the ratings

Since there is no way to properly organise, regulate or determine the rule system of "breakdancing" it cannot be considered as a genuine sport.

It was pretty good if it were a competition specifically designed for middle aged soccer moms to enjoy themselves and provide a bit of amateur competition but allowing her to compete in the Olympics is symptomatic of the typical western suicidally empathetic political and social structure that is terrified of opposing any ‘oppressed’ class, no matter how retarded their ideas or conduct are, provides opportunities far above their level of competence and experience, or have them face any real consequences for their actions throughout their lives, thereby allowing them have no sense of shame or concept of their own level of ability.

It was bad but also makes some degree of sense in context. First off, she was the lowest ranked competitor there so her coming dead last shouldn't surprise anyone. Second was the scoring. I can't find any images of the scorecards used but did find an article about it. They were judged on Technique, Originality, Musicality, Vocabulary and Execution and the points were for who won in a head to head basis on each of those criteria. I think she knew she couldn't win on technique and so gambled on trying to squeeze out some points elsewhere even if it wasn't a very good show of breakdancing skill. The judges didn't seem all that keen on rewarding this attempt to game the system and so she lost across the board.
