I'm sympathetic, because if I embarrassed myself that bad I'd also want it to go away. But this ain't gonna make it go away lmao

Yeah, she's kinda Streisand-ing herself... And if she takes it to court, she might Lehrmann herself....

I only heard about it when I opened Reddit and half my front page was mocking her

Trying to copyright a kangaroo hop is going to be funny. I'm pretty sure we did that in PE in prep or grade 1. Not to mention, y'know, the fact there's 30-80 million (depending on whose guess you trust) animals out there doing it every day

I meant I missed the analysis published on The Conversation that I linked. I heard about the shutting down of the musical and saw the news about Gunn's latest insta post. Her response seems kinda 'How do you do, fellow kids' and at first I thought it was hilarious in a 'gift that keeps on giving' kind of way but then I realised it's just sad.

Oh okay, you wanna trademark the single most efficient leg-based locomotion system in the animal kingdom? What's next, wheels? You want the rights to all wheels, as well? What else? Sure, you invented water, that's fine.

Raygun: dishonestly positions herself to take the stage at histories largest physical competition on the international stage. Guaranteeing her chance to take the public eye and leave a mark on history and on the social zeitgeist.

Raygun: fails spectacularly, marking history and leaving behind a special legacy socially.

World: lmao wow

Raygun: it's not fair for you to make social commentary because I didn't do as well as I thought I would.

Get fucked, rayray. You made your bed and now you can sleep in it.

Some idiot online: Posts a complete fantasy retelling of this woman's experience and thinks he's funny for it.

A company tried to copyright HER image. She didn't lie about anything. The first Olympic breakdancing went great, go watch the earliest MMA matches or child pageants.

You're being told how to think by the news and accepting it at the cost of sounding pretty misogynistic, which I don't say lightly. Either you mock this woman cause you're a corporate boot licking asshole or you go "ha woman bad" like there's no other position.

And all for what? an Internet laugh? Grow up idiot.

You're rude (and also wrong LMAO)

And Raygun's career bids a fond farewell to the world.
