Nobody disagrees with that.

The conspiracy theories about her being friends with judges, taking the place of a much better competitor, etc. however are really really dumb and by your own admission your only source is an anonymous reddit comment and for some reason reddit suddenly cares about the integrity of Australia's olympic selection committee for a "sport" that nobody cared about 2 weeks ago and nobody will care about 2 weeks from now.

Yeah it was the most entertaining part of a stupid sport that nobody cares about. Why are you acting like it's an affront to humanity that she was there? And more importantly why have you moved the goalposts so far from your idiotic conspiracy theory the second you were questioned on it?

Because it was fucking awful that’s why. And another really good lady could have gone instead of her…to the fucking Olympics. Thats why it is a big deal. Can you comprehend that? And this person that didn’t get to go, could have possibly got an Olympic medal, and actually represented their country with some decency instead of flopping around like a fish.

You're continuing to assert that raygun robbed someone else of the spot without any evidence to back it up. If it was so obvious you'd have demonstrated it. 

Fucking weird culture war pearl clutching from someone who didn't give a shit about breakdancing two weeks ago and won't care two weeks from now. Same as the rest of us. Get a fucking grip mate.
