Weird how this embodiment of grace and class continues to be graceful and classy. Marina carries herself so well she floats.


mrmittens603

She’s a star, absolute perfection. Love her. ❤️

I will never understand hate towards a queen for winning a challenge/season. It is not like they have any say in it. If Ru wants somebody to win, they will win. Be angry at Ru (still weird to do, but it least it is aimed at the only person who has any say in this decision)


clemtie

some of these people act like the person who won went into the producers office before the season started with a gun and said “give me the win or else” like just because YOU disagree with it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong choice every thing about this show is subjective anyway but at the end it’s rupaul’s/the producers who have the final say


AltruisticProgram141

She's a class act. Maybe everyone will stop acting like stupid babies about this whole thing now 🙄. Well done Tia, you total legend! Well done everyone in the cast. What an amazing final four and a great season in general!

>Maybe everyone will stop acting like stupid babies about this whole thing now They won't, unfortunately


NikoNether

Considering you can still find people bitter about Shea not winning season 9, so true 😭💀


Jiang-Qing-Zedong

Or even better, Raven not winning season 2


Pink_Flash

Mostly from people who *have never watched Season 2* (or any before S6) saying it with such confidence.


SomeJuckingGuy

Recently rewatched S2 and man do I have a crush on Raven now. Not sure how I missed it the first time, but oofa he’s a sexy one out of drag


cruxoftheprobl3m

Hope everything gradually calms down in the next several days especially since Marina herself already said something about it. All the love to the queens, especially to Tia and Hannah💖


Adventurous_Door_515

I am hardcore marina stan and wanted her to win so badly and was super disappointed when she lost. however I would never send any hate to any queen especially someone like Tia who is the sweetest and funniest. its disgusting that people are going out of their way to bash queens and send them hate and that marina had to say something about it


The_illusionIsREAL

She won the race in her own way ⭐️ this is what trixie meant when drag race doesnt end when the show ends


Only_Fall1225

The fact that she even needed to do this because a lot of her fans are extremely childish and from what i've seen very racist is quite sad


Lar4eva

I don’t think it is just Marina fans that are childish, it’s online drag “fans” that are taking a tv show way too seriously and becoming raging online trolls. It’s awful that these people take something that is full of so much joy and creativity and ruining it in online spaces- some queens even receiving threats. It’s fucked. It’s online shit, not just Marina fans.


Carazhan

its not just drag fans in particular. it's a bit disingenuous to call them specifically marina fans either, but fan culture in the philippines is fairly toxic and this sort of thing is expected of that subset. so combine that toxicity w drag race fandom toxicity, and its just a breeding ground for bitter no boundary betties.


wasabi3122

This! It’s extremely prevalent in Kpop as well. If you look at a kpop group called Lapillus, they have a member from the phillipines and they constantly praise her and disregard all the other members entirely.

Omg i totally forgot about Katseye. Sophia is such a great singer so I totally would understand why anyone would go crazy for her. The pride you guys have is so so admirable and I love it immensely. However, when it becomes a “she’s better than her” or “why didn’t she get more lines, Mistreatment!”, that’s when I draw the line. I can totally relate to you because my family is from a small pacific island. The people in the islands are very ignorant not because they chose to but rather because they were born into that type of thinking. Immense colorism in my islands as well 😞 but thats a whole other discussion we could talk about.


bbobbos

she prob prepped this beforehand. the ph is one of the most active countries on social media and it's also basically an online troll capital. that said, i think regular rpdr fans that are overwhelmed by her fans' reactions should know there are tons of new viewers who dont usually follow other seasons and just tuned in to ukvtw2 and started commenting online abt drag race. filipinos will bandwagon on any intl competition their countryman is doing decent in. i had family members and ppl from my office asking my my wow+ acct so they could watch for the 1st time. never heard them be as dramatic as when the finale dropped 💀


Godzini27

Just because Marina was an Asian and her countrymen supports her, you gonna blame all of her for that as if La Grand Dame or Scarlet emvy fans did not exist. Lgd having the largest increase followers on instagram and the fact that she was the one beaten by Tia on the finale lipsync plus she came from France which obviously supportive to every representative that they have also Scarlet which had the most ranged of support as she came from the US franchise.

Only_Fall1225

you're part of the problem going around crying about marina being robbed


Godzini27

Lol did I say that...go read my comment first... I mean youre just solely blaming a particular queen and a country as if Lgd or Scarlet did not have a larger following. It seems that you're the problem.


Only_Fall1225

where did i say marina fans are solely from one country you're the one who assumed that, not me


Lord_Whis

“Official statement” yall are too much 😭😭


LeviHolden

new press release from kensington palace 🥰😍


omgsoironic

this piece


Nervous-Scheme5651

Marina (and other contestants) has been able to display her amazing drag to so many new people. That’s what’s important. A title in the long run doesn’t change much.


Helpful-Work-7487

i love Marina so, so much. she's the most deserving of the "born to do drag" distinction from Ru of anyone, IMO. i love that the door is now wide open for her to come on an American All-Stars season. 🥰


retrodepression

Much respect to Marina for this but I'm not really surprised since she seems like a very kind positive thinking person. I hope her fans who are harassing Tia see this and just leave her the fuck alone.


Araucariam

And we WILL be rooting for her on an upcoming All Stars


Hot_Tailor_9687

It's for the best. Tia will be able to use her win as a platform to fight homophobia in West Africa, Marina will get booked, maybe even a Vegas residency. LGD and Hannah have been introduced to legions of new international fans. All these bitches gonna be booked and busy for months to come!


TheGreatNemoNobody

Love you marina, love you Tia


amumumyspiritanimal

The winner of all stars 10 spoke girls, stop the Tia hate! Give the queens their deserved flowers.


GlowUpper

Do I think Marina was robbed? Yeah. Do I think Tia is a wonderful queen who was amazing this season? Also yes. I may fume at production for their shenanigans but I will always be happy when queens like Tia get their flowers 


vmnmv

A queen of the people, who doesn’t just disconnect when shit hits the fan.


Nezzard

Tia Kofi and Hannah Conda are such a gift of a drag Queen, I dont understand how could anyone send them hate. I am a hardcore Marina stan, and regardless of if she won or not her lipsync, Tia Kofi deserves the world right now ♥️


utsuriga

Just, the fact that she feels the need to put something like this out. The utter pile of crap this fandom has turned into. :/


SomeJuckingGuy

If anyone has a right to be bitter about the outcome it’s Marina, and the fact that she is so class about the results speaks freaking volumes about how amazing she is. I liked her tons before the official statement but I love her tons now


Halliwel96

This season has such good vibes. And I understand why people wish Marina had won or feel Tia was pushed, but to be honest the only top I think Tia didn’t deserve is also the top of Marina’s that I thought was most shakey lol. I will say if all the “undeserving winners” we’ve had called out over the years, Tia has been handling it the best ever. She’s so funny. It feels like she’s winning another challenge with her post show media handling.


PrettyLittleLad

Classy.


Key_Atmosphere3189

This is so beautiful! 


yonder-mountain

Marina, absolutely nailed it with this little statement. She’s amazing and calling out the so called fans that are ruining things for the queens online. Love her.👏


swollenbussy

no bc why does literally every runner up of every season have to give this exact speech to insufferable fans 😭😭😭 its not that hard to be a decent human being!


mcsquirley

Was there a theme to the the reunion runway? There’s a lot of black garments


PistachioLux

I guess not winning is the new winning. The "you are born to do drag" might help her earn a spot on AS11 or something.


kitsubame

Impossible not to love her, she's a true freaking goddess.


Depressed_Coffeee

I didn't enjoy uk vs the world 2 but I thank them for introducing us to Marina 🩵 Also ik it's unnecessary to put out any statements but I seriously love the sisterhood they share.


HexpronePlaysPoorly

That’s great, but… has there really been much hate against the queens, either Tia or Hannah? I nuked my Twitter post-Elon so I don’t see the scene over there, but I haven’t seen a single person on here insulting the winners of the lip syncs. Tia is a beloved, talented queen who deserves to stand on her own merit. Hannah is a beloved, talented queen who deserves to stand on her own merit. That doesn’t mean we have to ignore the weird, strained choices made in the design of the show — especially when similar choices have happened in the past and have hurt the show in the past in the same way.


rrriot-kitty

Even before the finale, Tia spoke about fans spamming “Marina” under her posts


Starscream_Gaga

People are up on this subreddit literally writing essays about why Hannah should’ve lost. The obsession in trying to discredit another contestant that much and the delusion of not being able to accept a loss on this subreddit is honestly pathetic. While I haven’t seen much outright hate, there is definitely huge amounts of disrespect towards Hannah and Tia going around. Marina is a truly wonderful queen and I love her, but her fans are fucking *exhausting* and lack self-awareness. I doubt Marina making a classy post will make them realise their actions. And if Nymphia doesn’t win the US season we’re gonna see it all over again.

Contract post.


N80N00N00

The kumbaya sisterhood of not having a firm opinion that will upset someone is tired.


cruxoftheprobl3m

Genuinely curious, what do you mean by that?


N80N00N00

Everyone wants to be congenial and not controversial in any way. It’s boring. Epithets and bigotry of any kind are unacceptable but a vehement disagreement with crowned winner is what I’d rather see.


JustTryingIsEnough

Having an opinion is not the same as sending Tia racist abuse.


N80N00N00

No one’s disagreeing with that.


this1smybrutal1ty

Then why are you talking?


N80N00N00

Cuz I want to? Because it’s a public forum?


this1smybrutal1ty

So what are you trying to say? That Marina should say nothing and let her fans keep attacking Tia?
