Congrats to her. I have no clue why people are so upset at her family. No one is forcing you to watch her show or play her game. If you see her name around so much unfollow certain people on social media or stop watching "news" that focus on her. So much salt for her family.

Also Kanye doesn't have personal debt. He's doing fine.

 

[ashecitism]

This vitriol lol. I'm going to be honest, I don't really know who she is. I know she's the wife of Kanye (who I'm also not that familiar with) and she was in some reality show, there was an SB ad starring her ass and there's some connection to Caitlyn Jenner?

I just saw the article and thought hmm. Might be totally BS looking at that tweet, but I think GI is pretty good not jumping to conclusions, so it might be true?

 

[ajim]

Good for her. Wish I was doing that.

That's because that's literally who she is. She hasn't actually done anything, she's just famous for being famous and hanging with famous people. That's it.

 

[Warxard]

Count me among those who don't understand what she has ever done to earn any of her success. She's literally famous for being famous. Like, that's her entire life's achievement. Sex tape, reality show, Kanye marriage, $80 million phone game check. There are so many people so much more deserving of that success, fame and money, who will never see anything close to it, so I just can't respect her very much at all.

Because that's the only way she earned or learned how to make money obviously.

Yeah, I'm out.

 

[Silent Chief]

The hate for this women (and Kanye) and the family are off the charts. lmao

That's to be expected. What's likeable about her? And don't say her ass.

There's no reason for her to be in the news. That's like a news site giving a review of a Surface 3 or the latest iPhone. They don't cover their competitors. It's intrusive and annoying. On a newspaper, you could just skip the Arts pages. On a website it can be hard to find the content I care about because there isn't a hundred pages of it.

I take this as a commentary of the sad state of online gaming.
There's no way, whatever that is, that this stuff would sell on console.

That, or, maybe she's a successful Reality TV star who has savily turned her public persona into an international brand as a successful business woman... One or the other, really.

 

[Demoskinos]

I can see why people wouldn't be a fan of hers but at the same time I don't know how you can hate on a woman for being savvy enough to turn her name into a brand that brings in THAT much money. Sure the sex tape is where most people heard about her but considering she hasn't in the past 13 years faded into obscurity says to me that she is a smart enough business woman to keep her brand alive.

You've got to give Kris credit, she manages all that family and literally all of them are in the spotlight other than the son.

Smart business women.

Totally agree with this, but as with any successful person, there will be haters. I mean if you look at some arguments, it's all about how she doesn't deserve it and others do. That sounds more like jealousy.

 

[Mikeside]

It is a problem when I can't go about my life without seeing it plastered everywhere. I don't care if she wants me to see it. I shouldn't have to.

Sorry, what do you have to see?



There sure is a lot of slut-shaming and ignorance in the hate-her-camp.

It takes a lot of effort to be so vitriolic about somebody who you absolutely don't need to pay attention to.
It's not like she's Katie Hopkins, who's famous because she speaks out and says hateful, ignorant things that upset people.

She had sex with somebody & it got put online (whether leaked or "leaked" doesn't really matter), so now people have seen her fuck a guy and plenty have probably whacked off to it.

If that offends you, then don't watch the video?
If her reality show offends you, don't watch it? (I sure as fuck don't, though my other half does )
If her tweeting that she's making bank offends you... guess what? Don't follow her on Twitter.

It's pretty simple.

 

[dan2026]

Bragging on the internet about being absurdly rich doesn't make you look cool.
It make you look like an obnoxious arsehole.

 

[friskykillface]

Crazy to see how far she's come, I remember that Paris Hilton pic/vid of her telling Kim to clean her closet lol

Don't hate the player, hate the game, get those checks Kim

 

[DrROBschiz]

Why do people give them money

 

[t-storm]

Why do people give them money

Because sadly:

I know someone who spent $200 on her shitty game.

Ridiculous.

Sounds like you have a porn addiction. Not sure how you can't go about your day and not see Kim or her sextape.

I have yet to see the sextape and I only see her tweets when people on GAF talk about it. I must be a wizard to be able to avoid these things.

 

[Glix]

Y'all can call my remarks sexist if you like. Frankly im pretty shocked and actually passing my post around to women i respect, because being proressive and repectful is something i value.

That being said, admittedly i wouldnt have used the word slut, but Id say the exact same shit about RayJ. So... I guess im sexist against both sexes?

bet you're just jealous hehehehhhe
heh ?

 

[Gbraga]

Man, that's a lot of money.

I'd probably buy a WiiU with that money.

 

[faridmon]

the wordings of her tweet makes her sound like an woeful human being.
''busy cashing out?'' Really?

 

[DrROBschiz]

The Kardashians are basically our royals?

Kill me.

No, you're just expecting other people to live their lives based on your views on acceptability and morality

edit: and with regards to your earlier question:
What do YOU bring to the table?
You could ask this about any celebrity. People follow her social media accounts and watch her show because their either like her or they're interested in her.
Nobody is forced into that. If it's not your thing, then get over it and don't follow her Twitter account.

You guys should read Gita Jackson's fantastic piece about Kim and this game http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/07/kim-kardashian-hollywood-and-the-price-of-fame.html

Because it was.
And no you wouldn't.

Yes! They should.

Congrats on the success.

Nah, because if you were as progressive and respectful as you have convinced yourself you are. You wouldn't have used slut at all.

Women like sex just as much as men *shock*.
She had sex, *awe!*
She made a sextape *gasp!*

None of the aforementioned are good reasons to call someone a "slut". And the whole letting your female friends see your message is like writing a racist comment and letting your minority friends see it. Self hating people don't speak for all.

I love how he leaks the tape but she's the slut. Good ol American Puritanism.

 

[JumpCancel]

Humanity is doomed. If I had that financial clout I do as much as possible to better this planet.

Or build the Moonraker.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Im over it

Its inevitable that our current society will continue to foster celebrity branding in this way and hey

The Kards put their entire crazy lives on display and eat it up. They must pay for it with their souls in some fashion

 

[RoadHazard]

Yes, but where did that public persona come from? Why was she in that reality show? Why is she famous? Nobody really knows. She simply is just that, famous for being famous.

 

[maquiladora]

Why do people give them money

Celebrity worship culture meets people who like to spend money on mobile games. It's a recipe for lots of cash money.

She is pretty smart.

 

[Mikeside]

Yes, but where did that public persona come from? Why was she in that reality show? Why is she famous? Nobody really knows. She simply is just that, famous for being famous.

Does that really matter, though?

Unless she slaughtered a baby or something and nobody is mentioning it because they're more offended that she let a man she wasn't married to put his penis all up inside of her.




You guys, if she slaughtered a baby, somebody would have told me, right?



edit:

I don't mean to go there, but it kind of seems like a lot of people are threatened by a woman who is sexually liberated and in control of her sexual image, but doesn't choose to hide her sexuality?

Is this the real problem here?

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

When it comes to people like Kim its hard to truly process my thoughts in it all.

She is famous and rich because of what she was born into, the connections she has and the fact millions of people love watching and obsessing over people like her.

I in no way hate her for any of those things. She wouldn't be rich and famous if she didn't have an audience.

What is slightly baffling to me is why so many people love what she and other famous reality stars put out. If you want to actually hate anyone for anything it would make more sense to be those people to be honest.

How ever the following:

Bragging on the internet about being absurdly rich doesn't make you look cool.
It make you look like an obnoxious arsehole.

Sums up what I don't like about her.

Anyone braging about how they have some shit other people don't (and its not just super rich who do this) is just vapid bullshit and deserves no respect. It shows they have no real perspective about how others live their life.

I would have zero issues with her if she just did her thing and quietly had her money and didn't try and show off how rich she is and how she is better then who ever.

I would have actual respect for her if she used the money she made to help the world in some way.

But for the most part these people spend no time in my thoughts. They do their thing because they can and there is a demand for it. Just don't be a dick about it.

Also, a single tweet from someone like kim isnt really solid proof of how much she actually got paid is it lol.

 

[Vitacat]

I know someone who spent $200 on her shitty game.

Ridiculous.

That honestly makes me feel momentarily depressed.

*sigh*

 

[Kyonashi]

I don't care what she says, the rampant sexualisation of our culture is a tragedy and she's all too happy to play her part in it.

Thinking sexualisation is the problem and not the rampant violence is backward, twisted and frankly unnatural.

I pretty much agree with you up to the bolded, and then kind of even WITH the bolded, but I think it's hard to judge people when you're not in their shoes.

I can't say I wouldn't be caught up in my own bullshit if I had the life of some of these people.

Perspective is hard.

This thread started out with a (joke) tweet from Kim Kardashian, and still somehow managed to get progressively worse along the way. *claps*
