This is why I hate vertical video
Everyone should watch Shogun! If your anathema is crappily produced/costumed “high quality” streaming shows, it is the exact opposite. Best production I’ve seen in a long time.
The human urge to domesticate anything that is slightly cute
STOOOOOPP THIS IS CURSED KNOWLEDGE 😭😭
DO NOT BRING OMEGAVERSE TO LEMMY PLEASE THIS IS MY SAFE SPACE 😭
Nothing, that’s what I’m trying to say. All the “sports” I listed have some sort of skill expression that can be judged. Why is break dancing less worthy? Should skateboarding also not have been included? Why is making a horse hop around to music considered a “real sport”?
It’s all arbitrary.
Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.
I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.
Mm, you’re not wrong about the originality, especially considering it’s given equal weight with the other four categories (the scoring is another issue here I could go on about). I guess in the judges eyes her “original” moves didn’t have anything to do with breaking (like the T-rex thing? That was odd…), so it was irrelevant to the judgement.
I can only speak for my own interpretations though.
No, I think the score of 0 is fair, because imo her Olympics performance was straight up trolling. If you watch any of her previous performances (like her Olympic qualifiers) she’s actually pretty decent. Comparing those to what she did at the Olympics honestly felt like BM to the entire artform.
My take was that she pushed breakdancing into the human consciousness significantly more than anyone in history ever has
Interesting thought exercise, but a WILD take. Notoriety shouldn’t be considered the same as actual accomplishment. Otherwise, John Wayne Gacy should be considered the best clown of all time.
Phil Kim/Phil Wizard (the gold medalist) is a pretty accomplished breaker/bboy.
Not pointed at you OP, but it kind of pisses me off how this lady got more attention than the actual breakers and medalists the Olympics.
It’s much cheaper for you to buy a disk PS5 and install an M.2SSD yourself (up to 8TB), it’s incredibly easy, and Sony has a page/videos on how to do it yourself.
I’ve seen disk PS5 go on sale as low as $400USD at big box retailers, presumably to make shelf space for the pros. The used marketplace is there as well.

SHOW ME THE CHAMPION OF LIIIIIGHT
It took me three tried to read your entire comment, but I did it 😭
You’re 100% right about how many distractions there are around me, I currently live in the biggest city in my country and it is simultaneously overwhelming and boring depending on where I am. Scrolling my phone is the only way I feel like I have some control over my attention.
I’ll watch the video you linked, thanks!

I saw this on Reddit first while I was checking my city subreddit, damn the headline there definitely gives a different impression.
(The comments are all mostly jokes, didn’t even bother wading through them and came to see If Lemmy had a thread instead).
